Former Barclays Head Joins Aleri Advisory Board

CHICAGO, September 15, 2009 – Aleri Inc., the Continuous Intelligence™ company and a leading provider of enterprise-class complex event processing (CEP) technology and CEP-based solutions, including the ground breaking Liquidity Risk Manager for bank treasuries, today announced that Richard Pattinson, former Head of Regulatory and Industry Issues for Barclays Global Payments and recognized industry expert in liquidity management, has joined the Aleri Advisory Board.

With more than 35 years of experience within the Trading, Treasury, and Liquidity Management field, Mr. Pattinson has served on a number of central bank committees and working groups over the years including the Bank of England, The New York Federal Reserve, The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, where he primarily worked on liquidity management and payment system liquidity management issues. He also served on a number of financial infrastructure company boards during his career, including CLS Group Holdings (Switzerland), CLS Bank International (USA), European Banking Association (France), Voca Ltd (UK) and The CHAPS Company Limited (UK).

“Richard Pattinson’s liquidity management experience makes him a great addition to our Advisory Board,” said Don DeLoach, CEO & president of Aleri. “We look forward to leveraging his deep expertise and knowledge, which highly compliments our vision and CEP-based solutions for helping banks successfully manage liquidity risk in today’s environment.”

“For many years, liquidity risk has been the poor relation in the catalogue of risks faced by financial institutions. The ‘credit crunch’ of the past two years has highlighted the importance of liquidity in protecting and maintaining reputations, and supporting business plans in the highly visible global markets. Regulators in the UK, Europe, the USA and other countries, are in the process of introducing more demanding liquidity risk regulations including comprehensive stress testing requirements for both term (tomorrow to infinity) and intraday commitments. These will require banks to manage their liquidity and provide much more granular information, increasingly in real-time, rather than historic after the event reports,” said Mr. Pattinson. “Aleri’s CEP-based solutions are ideally suited to meeting these challenges and have proved that they can be deployed speedily and successfully integrating with existing legacy systems without compromising data.”

Mr. Pattinson will be a speaking on Aleri’s upcoming Webinar entitled “Liquidity Risk Management: Moving from Compliance to Competitive Advantage” on September 30th at 10am ET. He will be joined by Rodney Nelsestuen, Senior Research Director, TowerGroup. To sign up for the free Webinar go to www.aleri.com.
