JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Knight Trading Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NITE), formerly Knight/Trimark Group, Inc., unveiled today its new Web site (http://www.knighttradinggroup.com or http://www.knight-sec.com). The new site seeks to provide a more efficient communications channel for the public, particularly Knight's shareholders. The Company changed its name to Knight Trading Group on May 18, 2000, upon the approval of 99.8% of all of its voting shareholders.

"We are now Knight Trading Group. To the world, we will be known simply as Knight," said Kenneth D. Pasternak, the Chief Executive Officer and President of Knight Trading Group. "Our new name articulates our position as a single point of entry in 18,500 different U.S. equity securities and our dominant role in this country's secondary trading arena. Secondary trading is gaining more prominence in the U.S. marketplace, as evidenced by recent developments in the industry, and by the continued empowerment of self-directed individual investors."

"Our new Web site will serve investors as a source for timely and concise information about Knight," continued Mr. Pasternak. "It also will educate visitors about market structure issues, how stock orders become trades, and how after-hours trading works. People, armed with a better comprehension as to how secondary trading operates, will have a clearer understanding of the value Knight provides as one of the top liquidity centers in the global trading village. Although we have changed our corporate identity and Web site, we remain committed to our mission of providing superior execution solutions for investors' orders.
