LONDON, February 10, 2003 - Loan Pricing Corporation (LPC), a Reuters company, is pleased to announce significant enhancements to its market-leading, web-based DealScan database. European loan market users now have a new user interface, additional functionality, new search capabilities and new reporting capabilities, all designed specifically for the European user. These enhancements have been developed in direct response to business and productivity requirements specified by the key players in the European loan market.

DealScan is the world's pre-eminent source for comprehensive, reliable and actionable information on the global commercial loan market. It contains detailed terms and conditions on over 131,000 loan and bond transactions, including current and historical structure and pricing data. The new and improved database release is part of LPC's ongoing and broader efforts to deliver the most timely, comprehensive and relevant loan data, news and analytic product solutions to its global client base.

Nigel Pavey, Director Global Loans of Barclays said, "We have worked with LPC globally for many years and they continue to respond to our information needs with products that facilitate easy access to real-time data, news and analytics." He added, "This database launch will provide our European users with searching and reporting capabilities designed specifically for financial professionals operating within the European market."

"As the European loan market continues to grow so does its need for a quick, easy to access and web-based deal tool like DealScan," said Bill Petrunik, LPC's Managing Director of International Business. "Our goal with this project was to listen to our European customers and come up with a revamped product aimed at increasing productivity, and according to our customers, we have succeeded," he added.

Working in collaboration with the European loan market, LPC determined that the new DealScan features and functionality would considerably improve European users' business operations and productivity. DealScan now includes single-click access to reports and company news, daily updates through the web, an improved on-line help system, a reorganized menu and classification system, and more powerful search capabilities.
