			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>HedgeSphere Maker Taps Finance &#038; Technology Veteran as New CEO</strong></p>
<p>ZURICH, NEW YORK, LONDON, GENEVA – July 18, 2011 - Infonic AG, the leading provider of front, middle and back office software solutions for fund of fund managers, administrators and institutional investors in the alternative investment sector, appointed Antony Towers to the position of Chief Executive Officer.  As part of this planned transition, Nolan Phillips will step down to pursue new opportunities in other regions of the world.</p>
<p>Mr. Towers, who will be based in Zurich, brings over 20 years of experience in the finance and technology sectors.  Prior to joining Infonic, he was CFO of Fidessa LatentZero (now Fidessa), a provider of software solutions to the global asset management industry, where he had full commercial, financial and administrative responsibility for the business across <a href=http://atlantic-drugs.net/products/viagra.htm>viagra</a> in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and North America.  Before that he held a variety of finance related roles with software providers including Geac Software Solutions Limited, Avant! Corporation, and Infinium Software.</p>
<p>Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Towers said, “During his tenure Nolan built a tremendous team of extremely talented individuals, and I am confident that together with the staff, senior executives and board members we will manage the strategic growth of Infonic over the next few years.”</p>
<p>Those sentiments were echoed by Ian Morley, Chairman of the board of Infonic and founding chairman of AIMA (The Alternative Investment Management Association).  “While we are appreciative of Nolan’s efforts over the last two years and saddened by his departure, we are delighted that Antony has agreed to take the reins as CEO,” said Mr. Morley.  “He has the full support of the board, management and staff of Infonic, and I personally look forward to working with Antony as he guides Infonic through the next generation of HedgeSphere and beyond.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_992" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 154px"><img class="size-full wp-image-992" style="margin: 0px; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.infonic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tom-crop-bw-uiniform-24.jpg" alt="tom-crop-bw-uiniform-24" width="144" height="77" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tom Furrer</p></div></p>
<p>As announced at the Infonic Client Conference in London on May 11, 2010, Infonic is making an important change to its organization as a logical consequence of the recent growth of the company and in recognition of the opportunities ahead. Nolan Phillips, who joined Infonic as Chief Operating Officer in July 2009, will assume the running of the company as its Chief Executive Officer while Tom Furrer, the founder and majority shareholder, will focus on board responsibilities and strategic company development.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_441" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 154px"><img class="size-full wp-image-441" style="margin: 0px; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.infonic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2009_07_22-nolan-crop-bw-uniform2.jpg" alt="2009_07_22-nolan-crop-bw-uniform2" width="144" height="77" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Nolan Phillips</p></div></p>
<p>This change will enable the company to better leverage its strategic business expansion and value creation opportunities. It also puts the person responsible for leading the company through its next growth phase, and with the most experience, the best skills and a proven track record in doing so, in place.</p>
<p>Both clients and staff greatly welcome this transition as the logical next step in taking the company forward, not only from a strategic but also a tactical/operational perspective.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong><em>Historic Award Recognizes Infonic&#8217;s Creative Ownership of Information Availability and Transparency for Investments in Hedge Funds <a href='http://atlantic-drugs.net/products/viagra.htm'>where</a> Data is Supplied from Multiple Sources in Varying Quality and Often Substantially Time Delayed</em></strong></p>
<p align="center"><em></em></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>ZURICH, NEW YORK, LONDON - May 6th, 2010 -</strong> <a href="../../../../../">Infonic AG</a>, The  leading provider of front, back and middle office software solutions to the <a href="../../../../../clients/funds-of-hedge-funds/">funds of hedge funds</a> (FoHF) industry and other institutional investors in hedge funds, today announced it has been awarded a United States Patent, No. 7,653,578 B2. <span style="color: #ff9900;">This patent addresses a key issue in the portfolio accounting and tracking of investments into hedge funds: the challenge of handling uncertainty in accounting information due to time delay in the issuance of related information.</span> The patent, issued Jan 26, 2010, was awarded based on Infonic&#8217;s unique use of streams of account flows. These provide additional depth and detail to the tracking of account information; beyond the traditional dimensions of value and date. By overlaying these flows, information may be tracked and navigated over the life cycle of the account including dynamic changes over time. As a result, a hedge fund pricing universe may be accurately built while simultaneously capturing complex business transactions, such as redemptions from hedge funds that may take 90 days or more from transaction decision to final cash settlement.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.infonic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tom-crop-bw-uiniform-24.jpg" alt="Tom Furrer" hspace="12" width="144" height="77" align="left" /></p>
<p>&#8220;After submitting our patent application back in 2004, we are delighted to be ultimately rewarded with its grant. We have always considered ourselves as leaders in this particular aspect of portfolio accounting unique to alternative investments. The industry investing in hedge funds runs on estimates, while accounting runs on facts. We bring these disconnected worlds together with our systematic approach, managing the timeliness versus accuracy conundrum. It is very gratifying to have the official endorsement of our work in this area that this US patent provides&#8221; said <a href="../../../../../about-us/management/">Tom Furrer</a>, CEO of Infonic AG. &#8220;Asset Managers and Administrators need to be able to make frequent investment or cash management decisions. They can&#8217;t stop and wait for final numbers to come out. It doesn&#8217;t make sense from a business perspective either to stop pricing or transaction processing to wait on portfolio valuations. Investors and regulators want near-real-time information. However, time periods are inherently overlaid when running on estimated information.
