BATS Exchange Releases Multicast Data Feed

Real-Time Depth-of-Book Market Data Feed is Free and Provides up to 50%
Bandwidth Reduction
KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(Business Wire)--
BATS Exchange, an innovative and technology leading U.S. securities exchange,
announces the beta version release of Multicast PITCH, the latest enhancement to
BATS` real-time market data offerings. The feed is available today.

Multicast PITCH provides up to a 50% reduction in bandwidth compared to BATS`
PITCH, a point-to-point depth-of-book market data feed, and allows BATS` market
data recipients to more easily redistribute the data within their own networks.

Like other BATS` market data feed offerings, Multicast PITCH is free of charge
to BATS Exchange members and market data vendors.

"A multicast full depth of book market data feed is in strong demand by our
members and we`re excited to move forward with beta testing with a full release
planned for the end of January," said Chris Isaacson, chief operating officer of
BATS Exchange.

"With trading volumes continuing to increase on the BATS platform and compounded
by recent market volatility, a multicast data feed will maintain - and
complement - the sustained low-latency trading experience of members and market
data recipients under all market conditions," he said.

The complete Multicast PITCH specification is available on the BATS Exchange web
site at
http://www.batstrading.com/subscriber_resources/BATS_MC_PITCH_Specification.pdf.

For more information, members can contact the BATS Trade Desk (913.815.7001,
