SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--APX, Inc., a leading infrastructure provider for environmental and
cap-and-trade markets, is pleased to announce the signing of an
agreement in which Goldman Sachs will become a new investor in the
company. The consummation of the transaction is subject to regulatory
approvals and other conditions.

   John Melby, CEO of APX, Inc., commented: "We expect the investment
by Goldman Sachs will enable our continued expansion and leadership as
the trusted choice for creating and managing environmental
commodities, and as a platform for future cap-and-trade markets."

   Mr. Melby emphasized the importance of APX's independence as a
technology and service provider for environmental markets, including
renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon emissions.

   APX is policy-neutral, does not take positions in the markets, and
its revenues are unrelated to the market prices for the environmental
and cap-and-trade market certificates that its systems create,
register, manage, track, transfer, and retire. This neutrality has
made APX, Mr. Melby noted, one of the most trusted names in the
environmental commodities arena with both the regulatory community and
environmental market participants.

   This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of APX.
