London – Reuters subsidiary Instinet yesterday issued the following statement. Reuters has an 83% shareholding in Instinet.

Instinet statement:

Instinet announces expiration of Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period

NEW YORK, August 26, 2002 – Instinet Group Incorporated (Nasdaq: INET) today announced that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, in connection with Instinet’s proposed acquisition of Island Holding Company, Inc., expired without a formal request from the Department of Justice for additional information, which is commonly referred to as a ‘second request’.

Instinet’s acquisition of Island remains subject to other regulatory approvals and approval by stockholders of Island at a meeting scheduled for September 10, 2002.

About Instinet
