derivatives trading system, ´J-GATE´, compliant with international standards

gratitude and appreciation to all who have contributed to the successful launch
of the J-GATE. Through the utilization of the world´s highest-level processing
capabilities and the global standard trading functions of J-GATE, OSE continues
to further enhance the competitiveness of its market, which we hope leads to
strengthening competitiveness of the Japanese market.´

partner to OSE, the largest derivatives exchange in Japan. We congratulate OSE

will contribute to further strengthening their position, not only in Japan but
also in the global market.´

Toru Yamashita, President and CEO of NTT Data Corporation, said, ´NTT Data
