<blockquote><p>What we set out to do with Appital is provide unique, electronic price formation capabilities of illiquid equity positions to enable execution with minimal market impact or risk of price erosion. Through our collaboration with Instinet we have created a new execution workflow that has not existed before; one that best facilitates the needs of our joint asset management client base.</p></blockquote>
<p>Richard Parsons, CEO, Instinet Europe, commented:</p>
<blockquote><p>Embracing new technologies and finding new and innovative ways for our buyside clients to access hard to find liquidity are core elements of our mission. Appital’s bookbuilding platform is designed to give our joint client base an automated, more efficient way to proactively source scarce liquidity, often over multiple days, and drive a quality block bookbuilding process. We are delighted to collaborate with Appital in preparation for their European launch, and to deliver even greater access to liquidity to our clients.</p></blockquote>
