BLACKHAWKS, CHICAGO BOARD OPTIONS EXCHANGE ENTER CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP; CBOE To Be Exclusive "Presenting Sponsor" Bell ringing video now available! CHICAGO, June 7, 2008 - The Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) today announced a multi-year agreement establishing CBOE as the "presenting sponsor" of the Chicago Blackhawks. "The Blackhawks are very proud to have the Chicago Board Options Exchange as our presenting partner," said John McDonough, Chicago Blackhawks President."This exclusive sponsorship will maximize exposure for both the Blackhawks and for CBOE as the largest options exchange in the U.S." As part of the sponsorship, two premier-location "CBOE seats," which will be situated on the glass at center ice, between the Blackhawks and visiting team player benches, will be auctioned for each home game. "CBOE is delighted to share in the excitement surrounding our own hometown hockey team," said CBOE Chairman and CEO William J. Brodsky."Having exclusive 'presenting sponsor' recognition across all of the Blackhawks' promotional avenues was a very appealing proposition, and the CBOE seats being auctioned off are sure to be among the hottest tickets in town." To kick off the agreement, Blackhawks officials and alumni Stan Mikita, Denis Savard, Bobby Hull and Tony Esposito will visit CBOE's trading floor on Tuesday, July 8, to ring the Opening Bell.Media are invited to attend the bell-ringing ceremony at 8:30 a.m.Although there will be no formal press conference, officials will be available following the bell-ringing ceremony and tour of the floor to briefly answer questions about the sponsorship.

In March, CBOE and the Chicago Cubs unveiled a plan to launch the first-ever auction of 70 Chicago Cubs home game season tickets as well as front-row seating behind home plate in conjunction with a naming-rights partnership between the two organizations.The Blackhawks partnership is similar, offering integrated marketing components, including extensive in-stadium and external promotion.The "CBOE seats" will be auctioned, similar to the Cubs' ticket auction, through www.chicagoblackhawks.com and via the CBOE's website at www.cboe.com.
