Treasury & Risk Magazine`s 2009 Alexander Hamilton Awards Winners Announced

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
More than 250 senior corporate treasury and finance professionals from some of
the nation`s largest companies converged on New York City on Oct. 28-29, 2009,
to participate in Treasury & Risk magazine`s 14th Annual Alexander Hamilton
Awards and Best Practices Summit.

The event honors exceptional treasury and finance departments for their
excellence in solving finance and treasury management challenges, this year made
all the more urgent by the financial crisis. Cardinal Health CFO Jeff Henderson
delivered the opening keynote session to a jam-packed audience and took on the
next big difficult and controversial issue, health care reform, and its
potential impact on businesses.

Having survived and thrived during the economic turmoil of the last year, Toyota
Financial Services won the Alexander Hamilton Overall Excellence award. TFS kept
the carmaker`s dealerships operating, stayed in the leasing business and managed
to increase market share, thanks to a strong and integrated treasury and finance
department and innovative leadership.
