PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS SUCCESSFULLY LISTS US$300 MILLION BOND NOTES ON THE BAHAMAS INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE (BISX)

Friday, June 18, 2010

The Bahamas International Securities Exchange (BISX) announced today that the Government of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas has successfully completed the secondary listing process for its US$300 Million 6.950% Notes due 2029 (“the Notes”). As a result, the Notes have been added to the roster of securities listed on the Exchange. The Notes will be listed on BISX under the symbol BAH29.

The Notes will maintain a Secondary Listing status on the Exchange, with the primary listing for the Notes being on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, therefore, the Notes will not trade over BISX. As is customary with Secondary Listings, the primary responsibility for regulatory reporting matters will rest with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

Ian Fair, BISX’s Chairman commented on the Government listing stating, “This is a very positive move on the part of the Government and we are grateful for their support of BISX. This is a goal we have had for a long time and is another milestone achieved in our development”

Speaking about the listing Keith Davies, the BISX Chief Executive noted: “We believe that this is a very positive step for the Exchange, we have a long held belief that Bahamas Government Registered Stock (BGRS) should be listed on what is effectively the national stock exchange of The Bahamas.”

This listing also represented the first BISX listing to take place under Section 9 of the BISX Rules – Secondary Listings. Speaking about the Secondary Listing Facility of BISX, Mr. Davies noted: “I believe that our Secondary Listing Facility is an interesting option for a certain type of security, specifically securities that are listed on another exchange but that wish to retain ties to The Bahamas. Securities listed in this fashion would be primarily regulated by their primary exchange, the securities would not be traded over the exchange, rather BISX would report the securities’ closing price from their primary listed exchange.”

Mr. Davies went on to note: “One of the things that we have tried to develop at BISX is offering a variety of listing options that meet the varied needs of issuers in our market. We are excited by this first ever debt listing by the Government of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, and we eagerly await the day when all Bahamian Government debt is listed and traded in The Bahamas on BISX.”

NOTE: Attached to this message is the BISX Formal Notice for the Government of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas Notes. This notice advises the public of the securities to be listed on the Exchange and the symbol of the listed securities.

BISX PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

The Bahamas International Securities Exchange (BISX) is pleased to announce that with effect from April 19, 2010 BISX has been designated by the United Kingdom’s HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as a “recognised stock exchange” under section 1005 (1) (b) of the Income Tax Act 2007. As a result of this development, securities admitted to trading and listed on BISX will meet the HMRC interpretation of ‘listed’ as set out in Section 1005 (3) (a) and (3) (b) Income Tax Act 2007. Under this designation, BISX will also be regarded as a recognised stock exchange for Inheritance Tax purposes.

BISX attained this designation after undergoing a rigorous application process that involved the Exchange satisfying HMRC that BISX met the requirements set out by HMRC in order to be designated as a recognised stock exchange. Speaking about the designation of BISX, BISX Chairman, Ian Fair noted: “I am very pleased that BISX has satisfied the requirements of HMRC in order to be designated as a recognised stock exchange. I believe that this is a significant achievement for BISX that sends a strong message to the international community that BISX is an organization that maintains rules, operating procedures and standards that are acceptable to the international community.”

The BISX Chief Executive Officer, Keith Davies also commented on the HMRC designation stating, “May 2010 marked the tenth year of market operations for BISX and our Company continues to make positive strides in the development of capital markets in The Bahamas. We realize that no stock exchange operates in a vacuum, therefore, it is important to ensure that your regulatory regime remains acceptable both within and outside of your jurisdiction.”

Mr. Davies continued by stating, “BISX is also presently pursuing other international recognitions that we believe will add value to the Exchange and to our membership, and we will continue to keep the Bahamian capital markets informed as we add new recognitions that may assist the country in remaining internationally competitive.”

The BISX CEO also explained that the HMRC designation as a recognised stock exchange will permit the Exchange to attract new business streams in the form of mutual fund listings and other specialized product listings that would benefit from being listed on an Exchange with the HMRC designation.
