PR Newswire Launches Institutional Investor Network

London (ots/PRNewswire) -

- New Service Enables Listed Companies and Their Advisors to
Communicate With Analysts and Investors Across Europe

PR Newswire announced today the launch of Investor Network, a new
service that delivers company news releases to industry analysts and
investors.

Investor Network combines the media reach of PR Newswire with an
extensive database of European sell side analysts and institutional
investors compiled by Thomson Financial.

The moment a news release is issued via PR Newswire, Investor
Network guarantees immediate publication on key market data equity
terminals such as Reuters and Bloomberg. In addition the news is sent
over Thomson Financial's First Call service, which subsequently
parcels the release to those analysts and investors who have
indicated an interest in the company. The news release is delivered
simultaneously to individual analysts, as well as reaching thousands
of websites and online databases relevant to the investment
community.

Issuers also have the option to include the distribution of the
news to key business media across Europe.

"The partnership with Thomson Financial is a tremendous
opportunity to offer companies a unique service that unites media
awareness and investor targeting," said Lisa Ashworth, CEO of PR
Newswire Europe. "Investors and analysts value highly the
communications they receive from the companies they are researching.
Investor Network uses multiple channels - both direct and through the
media - to ensure that the company's news reaches its target
audience, and as such, is the perfect complement to a company's own
IR efforts."

The launch of Investor Network extends PR Newswire's role as one
of the world's leading advocates for enhancing communication between
companies, the investment community and the general public. PR
Newswire is recognised as an established, secure outlet for listed
companies to meet disclosure regulations in Europe the US and Canada,
and provides news distribution services for companies throughout
Europe the US, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. We also play
a critical role in educating the corporate, investor and regulatory
communities around the world on issues of disclosure and
transparency.
