PICO EXPANDS ITS ASIA-PACIFIC (APAC) FOOTPRINT INTO AUSTRALIA

NEW YORK, August 31, 2021 - Pico, a leading provider of mission critical
technology, data and analytic services for the financial markets community,
continues its global expansion efforts by launching its colocation services in
the Australian Liquidity Centre (ALC) for access to the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX) and Chi-X Australia (located in Equinix SY2).

Operating from its new Sydney base, Pico will support clients in accessing this
important market, with ASX among the top 20 exchanges globally by market cap,
and with dark mid-point matching for best execution. Pico will provide dedicated
and shared infrastructure options, comprehensive infrastructure procurement,
connectivity, and hosting, all supported by on-site engineering and data center
management expertise. In addition to ASX and Chi-X market data, Pico will offer
tailored technology solutions based on its global market data services.
Furthermore, through Pico’s ASX connectivity, clients can access more than 60
dual-listed stocks of New Zealand’s top companies.

“We are delighted to extend the reach of our globally comprehensive technology
solutions to Australia – including our Layer 1 ultra-low latency connectivity –
which is available to market participants trading on the Australian Securities
Exchange,” said Roland Hamann, Chief Technology Officer & Head of APAC at Pico.
“With the continued increase in electronic trading across all asset classes,
market participants now require global access and connectivity to all liquid and
electronic markets. Our global expansion efforts remain focused on supporting
clients to move fast, access new markets and to harness new opportunities.”

Opening in Australia marks yet another milestone in Pico’s rapid APAC expansion,
having recently added China to its global footprint. With support from local
teams, Pico now serves electronic trading participants across the APAC region,
with comprehensive connectivity and venue presence across APAC in Singapore (SGX
and SG1), Hong Kong (HKEx and HK5), Japan (JPX, CC2 and TY3), the Republic of
Korea (KTY and BUSAN) and Taiwan (TWSE and BQ).

Pico has built a cloud infrastructure for financial markets participants with
mission critical exchange connectivity spanning 50+ data centers traversing all
key global market centers in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Its resilient
proprietary network, PicoNet™, is a globally comprehensive, low-latency and
fully redundant network connecting all major financial data centers with access
to major public cloud providers. This allows Pico the technical capability to
offer any financial market data anywhere to its clients for true borderless
trading. The combination of Pico’s global infrastructure and data services with
its analytics and machine intelligence solution, Corvil Analytics, contributes
to clients being equipped with cutting-edge solutions to meet ever-changing
market conditions.

Pico/Athena

agreement for a business combination with FTAC Athena Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq:
FTAA), a special purpose acquisition company. Upon closing of the transaction,
the combined company will operate as Pico. The transaction reflects a pro forma
enterprise value for the combined company of approximately $1.4 billion. The
business combination, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of both
Pico and FTAC Athena, is targeted to close in early 2022, subject to stockholder
approvals and other customary closing conditions.
