17 February 2011

LONDON, UK – 17th February 2011: Lombard Risk Management plc (LSE:LRM), a leading global provider of collateral management, liquidity and regulatory reporting and compliance solutions for the financial services industry is pleased to announce that Paul Tuson has been appointed as its Chief Financial Officer.

Paul commented: “I am delighted to have been appointed as full time CFO of Lombard Risk at what I believe to be a key phase in the Company’s development, and I look to the future with much optimism.”

Philip Stanning has joined as Group Sales Director. Philip has held senior positions in banking and other software companies, including Temenos from 1998 to 2005. At Temenos Philip was responsible for building the sales and pre-sales organisation, initially across Northern Europe and the Middle East and then globally across Asia and America, during which time revenues grew to in excess of US$160m in 2005.

Rebecca Bond returns to Lombard Risk as Group Marketing Director from FRSGlobal where she was VP Marketing in a period of growth that culminated in the firm’s trade sale to Wolters Kluwer Financial Services in late 2010. Her experience in the financial services software marketplace includes periods in senior positions at Iris Financial, Asset Control, QUMAS and most recently FRSGlobal. Her knowledge, particularly in the areas of risk and regulatory compliance, well equips her to manage corporate communications for the Lombard Risk group.

These appointments follow the strengthening of the Lombard Risk team in 2010 through the appointment of Philip Crawford as Chairman and Sherry Isenberg as Managing Director, Americas and other senior appointments.

John Wisbey, CEO, welcomed this new team on board, saying: “Successful companies in our space need outstanding people, products and services. We have great products and services, and with these three high quality appointments we have further strengthened what was already an excellent team. ”

“The Company has ambitious growth plans for the next few years and an encouraging sales pipeline. We believe that market and regulatory developments around the clearing of OTC derivatives, as well as consequent changes in the structure of the derivatives markets, are causing banks and market participants to look to upgrade their legacy collateral systems at this time. Furthermore, we expect additional mandatory expenditure on Basel III and Solvency 2 in the next two years. We believe Lombard Risk is ideally positioned to benefit from these market developments and our new appointments will be invaluable in helping us capitalise on these opportunities.”
