NYFIX, Inc. Announces $12.6 Million Private Placement


New York, NY June 30, 2006: NYFIX, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NYFX). NYFIX, Inc. (“NYFIX” or “the Company”), a leader in technology solutions for the financial marketplace, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with certain clients of a large, Boston-based institutional investor for the purchase of common shares of the Company. The offering will raise gross proceeds of $12.6 million before expenses. The Company is issuing shares of its common stock to pay placement agent fees of 6% of the gross proceeds. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur on July 5, 2006.

Under the terms of the agreement, NYFIX will sell 2.713 million shares of common stock at a price of $4.65 per share, which represents a discount of approximately 3% to the closing price of NYFIX common stock on June 29, 2006. The shares will be issued in a private placement transaction under Regulation D of the Securities of Act of 1933.
 
The shares of common stock sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States without a registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. NYFIX has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued in the private placement once NYFIX becomes current in its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.

The proceeds from the transaction will be used for general corporate purposes, including ongoing working capital needs, investments in technological infrastructure and increasing the capital in the Company’s regulated broker-dealer subsidiaries.
