(RIVERWOODS, ILL., February 21, 2003) - Professionals who need to know about new developments in securities compliance now have a new, timely, customized news service: Securities Compliance Tracker™ from CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of securities law information, software and services. The new Tracker service delivers daily customized news via the web or e-mail, keeping subscribers up-to-date on the hottest topics affecting their organizations. (For more information or to order, call 1-800-449-6435 or visit the CCH Online Store at onlinestore.cch.com).

"It's never been easier to stay informed about need-to-know developments from all of the regulatory agencies," said CCH marketing manager Lucy Smith. "Subscribers simply choose the kind of information they want. Tracker can be highly customized to cut through the volumes of information out there, targeting what each subscriber needs to know and delivering to their desktop in one daily report."

Customers Create Their Own Service

Subscribers can custom-blend a personal daily "news feed" by choosing the agencies, types of issuances and specific topics in which they are interested. In addition, subscribers can enter their own terms to be included in the Tracker searches. There is also a "News Spotlight" section that delivers insight and analysis of some of the most crucial daily issues.

Once users have set their preferences, Tracker selects from its comprehensive daily coverage of new developments only the news and information subscribers want, and delivers it to them in an early morning e-mail, in the format they choose. Subscribers even determine how much information about a selected topic they want to receive - headlines, summaries or both.

With the CCH Tracker, subscribers set up searches once, and get results as often as they occur. Subscribers can select all topics and receive the complete range of new developments reported by CCH, or just focus on a few. Summaries of all source documents are available so users can make informed decisions about what to access.

Securities Compliance Tracker is a perfect complement to the regulatory reference products and tools available on the CCH Internet Research NetWork and CCHWallStreet.com, providing an efficient, direct line to the latest regulatory changes, releases and regulatory proposals. It features content from the SEC, NASD, CFTC, NASAA, AMEX , NYSE, CBOE, CHX, CSE, MSRB, NFA, PCX and PHLX .

Two Editions Offered

Securities Compliance Tracker is available in both a Legal/Professional Edition and a Broker/Dealer Edition. Both products contain the same news each day, but provide links to different CCH products. The Legal/Professional Edition is linked to the other legal research products on the CCH Internet Research NetWork. It is the logical choice for securities attorneys and professionals outside of a brokerage firm. The Broker/Dealer edition of Securities Compliance Tracker is linked to content on CCH Wall Street, making it the choice for compliance professionals in brokerage firms.
