BOSTON and NEW YORK, Oct 18, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CCBN.com (www.ccbn.com), the leading provider of Internet-based corporate-investor communications, today announced a Web syndication agreement with the global online financial services firm, TD Waterhouse Group, Inc., (NYSE: TWE). Under the terms of the agreement, CCBN's corporate earnings release information will be made available through TD Waterhouse's Web site, (www.tdwaterhouse.com). This agreement will give TD Waterhouse clients access to the most reliable and comprehensive earnings release data available on the Web. CCBN populates the TD Waterhouse calendar with information sourced directly from more than 6,500 public companies including the S&P 500 and FTSE 100. Content includes the expected dates of earnings releases, consensus estimates, estimate ranges and the number of brokers reporting for each company. To access the earnings release information investors can go to the TD Waterhouse home page, (www.tdwaterhouse.com), click on "News & Research" and then click on "Earnings Calendar." "Our customers use our Web site as a reference for making investment decisions. They rely on the accuracy and timeliness of the information," said Paul Vienick, senior vice president, eBusiness Development, TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. "By partnering with CCBN, the leading provider of direct corporate investment event information, we are insuring that the earnings release data on our site is the most accurate available." CCBN acts as an infomediary between companies and investors, enabling corporations to conveniently and efficiently deliver their unfiltered messages directly to the investment community. Through CCBN, public companies can publish their conference call webcasts and event calendar information simultaneously onto their IR Web site, onto CCBN's network of Wall Street institutions and onto CCBN's network of retail investment sites, which now includes TD Waterhouse. By assisting companies in publishing their critical events such as earnings releases and conference calls, CCBN helps support companies in adhering to the call from Chairman Levitt and the SEC to provide "full and fair disclosure." Regulation FD, recently enacted by the SEC, is scheduled to go into effect on October 23, 2000. While a growing number of individual investors are seeking this type of information, it is also true that more and more companies are seeking ways to reach individual investors. "Recognizing that individual investors as a collective force are becoming more significant, many companies are becoming more pro-active about getting their information in front of retail investors," said Rob Adler, president and co-founder of CCBN.com. "Online financial services sites such as TD Waterhouse are a key avenue for companies to reach a broader audience of sophisticated, active, on-line investors." CCBN has Web syndication relationships with a number of other popular investor Web sites including America Online, Yahoo!, Worth, Money, Netscape, CompuServe, Wall Street City and the Motley Fool. All of these portal relationships provide individuals with access to straight-from-the-company information while simultaneously helping public companies gain exposure to individual investors and comply with Regulation FD requirements.
