Changing Of The TFX’s Japanese Company Name

In response to the enforcement of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law on September 30, 2007, the TFX will transform from a “Financial Futures Exchange” that handles only financial futures, into a more comprehensive “Financial Exchange” that handles any kind of financial products.

To reflect the expansion in the range of our listed product, we changed our Japanese company name from the “Tokyo International Financial Futures Exchange” to the “Tokyo Financial Exchange.”

Through responding to the needs of investors and promoting to develop the new lines of attractive products, the TFX, as an advanced exchange, contributes to the growth of Japanese financial markets and is continuing to construct a reliable and leading market infrastructure.

This change is effective from September 30, 2007.
