Symbol Management Clearing Corporation (SMCC) to Unveil SymbologyDNA(TM) Methodology

Business Wire
Symbol Management Clearing Corporation (SMCC) is pleased to
announce the unveiling of the SymbologyDNA� methodology for use as
the standardized link to the Options Symbology Initiative (OSI). On
June 11, 2008, SMCC will present and recommend to the Financial
Information Forum (FIF) and to the financial industry its
recommendation to adopt SymbologyDNA� methodology and processes to
ensure standardization, consistency and accuracy to global
symbology management throughout all financial systems. Currently,
the entire financial industry is being asked to modify their
systems for OSI compliancy to handle a 21 character option symbol
from the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), and a 17 character
option symbol from the Option Price Reporting Authority (OPRA). The
proposed OSI methodology will undoubtedly carry a multi-billion
dollar price tag for the industry to bear, similar to that of Y2K,
and will impact systems end-to-end posing enormous risk to all
financial environments. SMCC�s CEO, Lee Clifford says �We have
carefully listened to industry representatives and are uniquely
positioned to offer this solution. We believe we have met all of
the objectives of the OSI plan in addition to adding new depth for
the industry. The goal of standardized naming conventions for
options series data and the derivatives industry is now achievable
through SymbologyDNA�.� SymbologyDNA� will be used as an
enhancement to the OSI. It will allow financial firms to translate
5 or 9 character symbology representations into the new 17 or 21
character symbology formats and vice versa. In fact, with the
SymbologyDNA� process in place, the financial industry will be in a
position to benefit from the next generation of electronic trade
clearing systems for the ever expanding derivatives industry. �It
is clear that the industry desires an approach to receiving
accurate and efficient information with minimal impact to their
internal systems,� stated Paul Strickland, CEO of Spooz. �We intend
to deliver the technology to deploy SymbologyDNA� in such a way as
to save the industry billions.� About SMCC (Symbol Management
Clearing Corporation) SMCC is a joint venture company of Spooz
Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Spooz, Inc. (Pink
Sheets: SPZI) and SFB Market Systems, Inc., a privately owned
corporation. The goal of the SMCC is to incorporate the advanced

robust platform from which to reserve and request new symbols for
listed trading products. This will also allow for the creation of
synthetic products to which new symbols may be assigned, such as
spreads, baskets, and combinations. The new electronic system will
replace the antiquated manual processes and is expected to save the
exchanges and the industry millions of dollars. Forward Looking
