London, 11 January 2017 – EDI's new WCB

basis, its evolution and all its descendant’s cost basis & evolution up to
the current date. This service includes all events that affect cost basis and
the number of units. The WCB information is delivered
via FTP, either via exchange or on a portfolio basis.
The following is a
full list of events are covered by the WCB service:
| Bonus | Capital Reduction | De-Merger | Dividend |
| Merger | Rights | Security Swap | Takeover |
| Capital Call | Consolidation | Distribution | DRIP |
| Return of Capital | Rights (Transient) | Subdivision |
Jonathan Bloch, CEO of Exchange Data International said “EDI has been developing a series of analytical products based on our core data sets of security reference and corporate actions data. We are now pleased to launch Worldwide Cost Basis which will serve as a foundation for any capital gains calculations in any jurisdiction. Without this information, any capital gains tax calculation would be inaccurate as the security could have changed since its purchase”.
