Latency Considerations Propagation latency The time it takes for a signal to move from one end of a communication link to another and where latency is a function of the speed of light Transmission latency How quickly a data packet can be converted into a series of signals to be transmitted on a communication link Processing latency The time it takes to act once market data has been received and transformed into an alternative representations, updating an internal order book, making the trade decisions and generating new orders Evaluate the trade-offs between ultra-low latency, scalability, variability and reliability 9
Comparison of Latency Effects on a Relative Basis over the Life Cycle of a Trade 10
Latency Considerations Less is more The number of internal applications it takes to act Hit the lit price directly from the host Direct Market Access (DMA) offerings 11

Carrier Partnerships Asia Examples NTT s PC1 Submarine Cable System Lowest latency US to Asia Through partnership educated importance of latency leading to landing station and equipment upgrades We worked closely with NTT, helping them build a strategy around PC1 Shared philosophy of improving performance for all industries to use resulting in competitive rates 19
CMEG Co-Location Center / NTT Com Partnership (Lowest Latency Gateway to Asia) Custom route built between PC1 landing station and CME Co- Location Center CMEG Co-Location Center becomes low latency gateway to Asia for all traffic East of our center Route shared with Content Providers resulting in reasonable rates for lowest latency route 20
NTT Com Asia Submarine-cable Express (ASE) NTT approves new $400m cable system to add capacity along Asia coast, partnering with local telcos CMEG collaborated with NTT to improve ASE for the financial community ASE was redesigned to withstand earthquake and typhoon damages ASE was redesigned to be the lowest latency from Japan to Singapore Combined with PC1 North, NTT can offer the lowest latency network path from CMEG Co-Location Center to Asia 21
