NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 2000--Track Data Corporation (Nasdaq NMS: TRAC - news) announced today that it has agreed to acquire a 10% interest in FlexTrader.com in exchange for 400,000 shares of Track's common stock. The companies also agreed to market their services to their respective members. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary terms and conditions. The companies previously announced a joint effort to create a wireless trading platform for Track's myTrack online trading system. The system will be able to offer myTrack users one-touch wireless trading, initially using the RIM Interactive pager and later using other portable devices, to connect to myTrack's state-of-the-art trading platform using FlexTrader.com's WAP (wireless application protocol) enabling technology. FlexTrader.com's website was launched in November 1999 and is already registering more than 200 members every day. Under the agreement, all of FlexTrader.com's members will be pre-registered to Track's myTrack online trading and market data system. Track will offer to its members the valuable market information offered by FlexTrader.com. Track Data's Chairman and CEO, Barry Hertz, said, ''We are very excited about this opportunity to invest in FlexTrader.com. This investment continues our efforts to make strategic investments in Internet companies that complement our business, increase our membership and afford our stockholders the potential upside in any future IPO's of these companies. We have made three other investments since our successful investment with Edgar Online.'' Larry Rubin, Chairman of FlexTrader.com, said, ''We believe that this is a key strategic development for FlexTrader.com. It is important to have the full attention from a partner like Track Data who can assist us in achieving our full growth potential by using our proprietary WAP enabling technology.''
