To comply fully with obligations for shareholding disclosure, investment

managers need access to accurate and timely market data covering diverse areas

such as company takeovers, issuer-initiated thresholds (typically found in a

company's articles of association) and data relating to temporary short-selling

bans.

The inclusion of Market Data Services for Shareholding Disclosure strengthens

CSS's position as a world-class RegTech solutions provider to institutional

asset managers and hedge funds, with an automated investment monitoring

platform that uniquely pairs unmatched in-house regulatory expertise with the

most comprehensive set of industry legal and related market data offered by

aosphere.

"Our strategic collaboration with aosphere builds upon the intellectual capital

of our own team of legal and regulatory experts and significantly enhances our

global Investment Monitoring platform," said Doug Morgan, Chief Executive

Officer of CSS. "Leveraging aosphere's unique capabilities, as we're doing with

the integration of Market Data Services, will continue to help CSS accelerate

the delivery of new product features in the years to come."

"The Market Data services we offer provide a robust solution for clients

seeking to comply with complex regulatory reporting rules. Sourcing accurate,

cost effective data on a consistent basis is a significant client challenge and

we are pleased to work with CSS to offer this service to their clients. We know

how important it is for clients to be able to operationalise legal and

regulatory content in platforms such as the CSS Investment Monitoring platform

and we hope the ability to utilise this Market Data will be a welcome

development for CSS clients," said Clare Godson, Executive Director at aosphere.
