Trading in the BM&F Segment at BM&FBOVESPA to Become Fully Electronic as of
July 1

SAO PAULO, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As of July 1, 2009, all
BM&FBOVESPA transactions involving derivatives contracts based on financial
assets and commodities in the BM&F segment will be carried out exclusively in
the Exchange's electronic trading system, which already accounted for over 98%
of the 22 million contracts traded in that segment in June. The last open
outcry floor session will close today at 5:15 p.m., followed by a ceremony to
honor the professionals who worked on the floor.
Over the next few months, the area where the open outcry trading floor is
located will be totally redesigned and included in the Exchange's regular
public visitation schedule, which currently utilizes the BM&FBOVESPA space,
where visitors receive information about financial market activities and
instruction on how the stock and derivatives markets work. This new area will
also be used to centralize the Exchange's self-regulation activities.
