Date: 9/1/2010

NEW YORK, September 1, 2010 –- NYSE Euronext (NYX) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, NYSE Arca, today began trading Barclays ETN+ S&P VEQTOR™ ETN (Ticker: VQT) . The ETNs are linked to the S&P 500® Dynamic VEQTOR™ (Volatility Equity Target Return) Total Return Index which is calculated, maintained and published by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P” or the “index sponsor”).

The Barclays ETN+ S&P VEQTOR™ ETN seek to provide investors with broad equity market exposure with an implied volatility hedge by allocating its notional investments among three components: equity, volatility and cash. The equity component of the Index is represented by the S&P 500® Total Return Index™ (the “S&P 500 TR”) and the volatility component of the Index is represented by the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ Index TR (the “Short-Term VIX TR” and together with the S&P 500 TR, the “Constituent Indices”).

The S&P 500 TR is intended to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets, and the Short-Term VIX TR seeks to model the return from a daily rolling long position in the first and second month CBOE Volatility Index® (the “VIX Index”) futures contracts.
