11 March 2010, Singapore & USA (Boca Raton) – Singapore Exchange (SGX) today

Recent additions over the past 6 months include Fortis Bank Global Clearing N.V.,

At a briefing to international media at the FIA Conference in Boca Raton, USA, SGX CEO
Magnus Bocker said, “As part of the Asian gateway network, our new members would be
excellent conduit for their global clients looking for Asian theme products. SGX is
committed to provide efficient and direct market access, and to work closely with all our
members in the distribution of our Asian theme products.”

“Today, we have a comprehensive suite of securities and derivatives products for our
international investors. More choices can be expected in due course, as we explore other
asset classes such as Asian equities derivatives and fixed income. We also have plans to
broaden our OTC clearing services to include interest rate swaps and foreign exchange
forwards; and strengthen our commodities product spread.”

“With the increasing demand for OTC products to be exchange-traded and growing
investors’ appetite to trade Asian commodities products, it is timely for us to launch the
SICOM Gold Deferred Settlement contract, our second commodity contract for the year,
this month,” added Mr Bocker.

SICOM Gold Deferred Settlement contract (SICOM Gold) will commence trading on 30
March 2010. It is a unique contract that allows investors to gain exposure to the
international spot gold price without having to handle any physical delivery of gold nor
payment of the full notional contract value.

This announcement follows earlier joint-releases on further collaboration with India’s NSE
and the India Index Services & Products Limited (IISL) to introduce a series of options
based on India S&P CNX Nifty Index (Nifty) and related products such as CNX Nifty
Junior, CNX 100 and CNX Midcap indices. This is a significant step in strengthening our
Indian portfolio, facilitating access for our investors into the India market, one of Asia’s
largest economies.

Separately, SGX and Stoxx Ltd. (STOXX) have announced an agreement they have
signed to list Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index futures and options on futures
contracts on SGX.
