CCH’S New Site For Securities Compliance Delivers Expanded Information, Tools, Resources

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., June 5, 2002) – CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of securities, business and tax law information and software, has launched CCH Wall Street: The Securities Compliance Network at CCHWallStreet.com. The next phase of CCH's securities compliance destination site - CCH Wall Street, formerly compliance.cch.com - offers expanded information targeted to broker/dealers and investment advisors and features an intuitive new look.

CCH Wall Street: The Securities Compliance Network offers more direct access to compliance-related news from industry experts, an ever-expanding suite of product choices, greater specialized subject depth and a powerful search engine to help users find the answers they need quickly. All of this is in addition to the timely regulatory information for broker/dealers and investment advisors that also is provided on CCHWallStreet.com.

"The new name and brand takes the site to the next level, reaffirming that CCH Wall Street will be the ultimate destination for securities compliance," said CCH Associate Publisher, Securities Group, Peter Berkery.

Users will find that the "entry" pages to CCH Wall Street contain a greater depth and variety of information – as well as an intuitive new look.

Specifically, visitors will have access to:

• News headlines with links to greater depth of coverage
• More detailed product information
• Details on key compliance-related events throughout the year
• The ability to order new products online
• A log-in template to access their subscription products using their existing user ID and password. Once logged in, they will be greeted with the CCH research interface that they have recently become familiar with, and can quickly find answers to their compliance questions.

CCH Wall Street continues to use CCH’s powerful Internet Research NetWork platform, with the new site integrating more smoothly into users’ workflow and more effectively meeting the increasing demands of securities compliance and transaction support.

And, CCH Wall Street: The Securities Compliance Network will continue to grow.
