Cantor Fitzgerald And eSpeed Statement Regarding Disaster At Headquarters At One World Trade Center In New York

11 September 2001 --- The London offices of Cantor Fitzgerald International and eSpeed International are doing everything possible to assess the situation at their world headquarters at One World Trade Center in New York City.

Both companies had operations on the 101, 103, 104 and 105 floors. Approximately one thousand people are employed by the two companies at the World Trade Center. Currently we are unable to determine how many employees were in the building at the time of the attack or confirm if they were safely evacuated.

"All of our thoughts and prayers are with our NY colleagues and their families and friends at this time," said Howard W. Lutnick, Chairman of both companies. "In a very difficult and confused situation we are doing all that we can to determine more about the situations of colleagues."

The companies ask that anyone who can confirm the safety of any of the potentially affected employees to phone 212-704-8188. Relatives and friends who wish to enquire about employees should call (from inside the US) 866-326-3188 (outside the US) +44 (0)20 7894 3721.
