WebCenter360 Banking Suite to Feature Highline Financial Data
   and Analytics to Maximize the Transparency and Interactivity
                    of Investor Communications

NEW YORK, March 4, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq:NDAQ) today launched its WebCenter360 Banking Suite, a
competitively priced investor relations website solution built for
global, regional and community banks. NASDAQ announced that the
WebCenter360 Banking Suite will be powered by data and analytics from
Highline Financial, the preferred source for banking information and
analytics for the financial sector.

"Investor Relations websites are increasingly becoming the number one
source of information for investors," said Demetrios N. Skalkotos,
Senior Vice President of Global Corporate Services, NASDAQ OMX. "Our
WebCenter360 Banking Suite is specially designed to increase the
transparency of this critically important communications channel
employing high quality competitive research, stock information and data
from Highline Financial to those investing in the banking industry."

"We welcome this strategic partnership with NASDAQ OMX as the need for
access to on demand banking sector data is crucial for investors to
inform their daily investment and business decisions," said Terry
Waters, President and CEO, Highline Financial. "The integration of
Highline Financial data and analytics in the WebCenter360 Banking Suite
will allow the delivery of timely, accurate and comprehensive banking
information to NASDAQ's investor relations customers."

Integrated into the WebCenter360 banking suite, Highline Financial will
provide tools that will enable investors to more easily analyze a
bank's performance via a dashboard setup. Investors can access
information such as Peer Analysis and Deposit Market Analysis, which
ranks banks by geographic market. Utilizing these new services, bank
Investment Relations Officers can provide more transparent investor
communications, more efficiently.

The WebCenter360 Banking Suite leverages the unique legacy features of
the current WebCenter360 platform and introduces comparative data tools
designed for investors analyzing bank performance and shareholders
researching company information. The platform can be customized to be
seamlessly integrated with the brand look-and-feel of any corporate
website.

The new features include Peer Analysis, Deposit Market Analysis,
Mergers & Acquisitions Summary and Detail, Financial Statistics, and
Deposits & Loans Composition.


  --  Peer Analysis shows investors comparisons of financial metrics of one
      bank to those of its peers. This enables investor relations executives
      to show investors how their bank compares to its peer institutions with
      quick, at-a-glance data points.
  --  Deposit Market Analysis allows website visitors to see how the bank
      ranks within a specific market. It compares market share analysis
      year-over-year so investors can see how the bank ranks at different
      market levels.
  --  Mergers & Acquisitions Summary displays information about what the bank
      has acquired or divested on a transaction by transaction level.
  --  Mergers & Acquisitions Detail include information about the buying or
      selling party, the date, location, agent, financial arrangements, and
      specific sets of loan transactions.
  --  Financial Statistics offers the investors an in-depth glance at banking
      industry-specific financial metrics.
  --  Deposits & Loans Composition allows the investor to view the makeup of
      the bank's investment portfolio as broken out so that it totals 100
      percent of total gross loans or gross deposits.




These enhancements complement the product's current features, including
the Mobile IR Site, IR Toolkit, Download Library, RSS News Feeds,
Shareholder Briefcase, and programs to manage corporate governance, SEC
Filings, stock information, events, press releases, information
requests and more.
