Aquin Group is now Princeton Financial® Systems

New company name emphasises extended global strategy and accelerated integration

Princeton, NJ ‐ 20 November 2008 Aquin Components GmbH operates under the company name Princeton

Financial Systems GmbH with immediate effect, following the acquisition of Aquin Components by Princeton

Financial Systems LLC (PFS), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation in October 2008. The international subsidiaries

of former Aquin Components GmbH in London, Paris and Zurich will also change their names to Princeton Financial

Systems Ltd. (in United Kingdom), Princeton Financial Systems France SAS (in France) and Princeton Financial

Systems Schweiz GmbH (in Switzerland).

With the combined company, Princeton Financial Systems offers all of its clients a greatly expanded product and

service offering, with an extended geographical reach. Princeton Financial Systems will continue all operations in the

previously existing Aquin offices. The Managing Directors of Aquin and their teams remain with Princeton Financial

and will continue to support previously provided products and services, as well as introduce new value added

offerings available as a result of the transaction, including a global 24/7 support model.

Götz Bernhardi, Managing Director of Princeton Financial® Systems GmbH and former CEO of Aquin Components

GmbH said, "The new name creates a strong global brand supporting the business. It also emphasizes Princeton

Financial’s commitment to build one integrated company. Princeton Financial’s PAM® fund accounting solution

complements Aquin’s compliance, data management, reporting and NAV reconciliation solution portfolio and allows

us to better compete in the global marketplace by providing a more comprehensive offering with reduced

integration risk."
