May 2007 - MEB Adds SPX Arm

In an effort to better serve our clients, MEB Options is proud to announce the addition of its own S&P 500 Index operation. With the increasing need to manage market risk and portfolio management always a paramount concern for money managers, the CBOE experienced record volume levels for SPX options in March. It was with a focus toward the future
of our clients that this commitment was made.

The operation will be spearheaded by Robert Pickert and William Zolpe. Together they bring more than 40 years of both equity and index experience to the SPX pit.

We welcome the opportunity to better serve your index needs. We will offer both quality execution and commission rates that you will find to be more than competitive. At your convenience both of our SPX representatives will be available to discuss how they can help you. Please contact the MEB floor staff for additional information.
