STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NYFIX, Inc. (NASDAQ:NYFX), a leader in technology solutions for the financial marketplace, today announced that its common stock will begin trading under the symbol NYFXE effective Tuesday, August 16, 2005. The addition of the "E" to the Company's trading symbol indicates that the Company has not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, as previously announced by the Company. Based on the delay in filing of the Company's Form 10-Q, NASDAQ notified the Company on August 12, 2005 that the Company is not in compliance with the NASDAQ listing requirements (Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14)). In accordance with the notification and NASDAQ Marketplace Rules that outline the standard procedures to obtain a hearing in these circumstances, the Company intends to request, within seven days of the notification, a hearing with the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel for continued listing on the NASDAQ National Market. The Company expects that its common stock will remain listed on the NASDAQ National Market until the Panel holds a hearing. There can be no assurance the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. As previously announced, the delay is a result of the Company's review of the information relating to its stock option grants and the related restatements of its financial statements, filed on June 30, 2005. The review was prompted by questions raised by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, to the Company's Audit Committee. As previously reported by the Company, the SEC has initiated an inquiry into the Company's granting of stock options. The Company, as directed by the Audit Committee, is working as expeditiously as possible to complete its review. About NYFIX, Inc.
