Lombard Risk and Broadridge form Strategic Alliance in theCollateral Management Sector

Lombard Risk Management plc, (LSE:LRM), a leading provider of integrated collateral management, regulatory compliance and reporting solutions, together with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR), a leading global provider of technology-driven solutions for financial firms and corporate issuers, today announces that they have formed a global alliance to address changing industry needs in the collateral management sector.

In recent years, several factors such as global regulatory changes, tighter liquidity, a move towards greater transparency and the increasing cost of collateral have prompted firms to rethink their approach to collateral management. In response to these changing market dynamics, this strategic partnership will, combine Lombard Risk's best-in-class technology with Broadridge's industry-leading applications and infrastructure.

John Wisbey, Founder and CEO of Lombard Risk commented: "Through our COLLINE® collateral, clearing, repo and optimization technology we have achieved a market-leading position, with significant amounts of collateral being handled through our platform and several Tier 1 banks on our client list. We are delighted that our firm and technology have been chosen by Broadridge to power their collateral management platform. Our alliance will extend the use of Lombard Risk's technology and our joint expertise within key markets and segments, particularly in the important North American market."

"Collateral management is a natural extension of Broadridge's product portfolio, which processes over$5 trillion of fixed income and equity trades per day and has a significant inventory of data already residing in our platforms," said Michael Hopkins, President of Securities Processing Solutions Fixed Income & Risk at Broadridge. "By partnering with Lombard Risk, we will deliver collateral management solutions that will provide capital markets and investment management firms with greater control over the changing market framework and create true strategic and economic value."
