NIRI and Corporate Board Member Announce Knowledge Partnership

“This Week in the Boardroom” Webcast to Feature Investor Relations Role in Board/Shareholder Relationship

VIENNA, VA and New York– The National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) and Corporate Board Member, a wholly owned subsidiary of NYSE Euronext (NYX), today announced that NIRI will become a knowledge partner for Corporate Board Member’s and NYSE Euronext’s "This Week in the Boardroom", a weekly on-demand webcast program designed to educate board members and C-suite executives on topics and issues that impact their operational and strategic decisions. Through this arrangement, NIRI will provide relevant content and investor relations experts covering key boardroom issues throughout the year.

“NIRI is pleased to bring the investor relations perspective directly to corporate board members through this new knowledge partnership,” said NIRI President and CEO Jeffrey D. Morgan. “We recognize the involvement of Corporate Board Member with sitting board members and appreciate its vested interest in the investor relations (IR) function’s role in the board/shareholder relationship and with regard to future trends. We believe that new Dodd-Frank corporate governance rules and the NYSE Rule 452 amendment really highlight the need for a closer board/IR link, and this knowledge partnership on ‘This Week in the Boardroom’ will clearly benefit both board members and IR professionals in that regard.”

“With all the regulation, nonbinding votes, and the need to know who your shareholders are, investor relations and shareholder communications has taken center stage,” said Corporate Board Member President TK Kerstetter. “This relationship lets us address those issues head-on during the show with knowledge partners who are actually practicing experts in the field.”

“This Week in the Boardroom” shows are available on the Boardroom Channel of http://www.boardmember.com/, on http://www.niri.org/ and on http://www.nyse.com/.
