CHICAGO, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of HyperFeed Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: HYPR) ("HyperFeed"), a company that provides Exchange Grade Technology enabling firms to gain direct access to a wide range of market data, data distribution and benchmarking tools, resolved today to file a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code").

As previously reported on HyperFeed's current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2006, by letter dated November 7, 2006, Exegy Incorporated ("Exegy") informed HyperFeed that it was terminating a Contribution Agreement among Exegy, HyperFeed and PICO Holdings, Inc. dated August 25, 2006. As reported in the November 8, 2006 8- K, HyperFeed disputes Exegy's right to terminate the Contribution Agreement and plans to vigorously defend its rights thereunder through all available legal means. Also, as reported, HyperFeed was relying on the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement to finance its current and future capital needs and operating costs. The Board of Directors of HyperFeed has determined that, as a result of Exegy's actions to terminate the Contribution Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby, existing and anticipated capital resources, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, assets related to discontinued operations, and financing from PICO, which is currently the Company's only source of financing, will not be sufficient to fund its operations on a going concern basis. In connection with the planned Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing, HyperFeed will cease all business activity and operations. Upon filing of the petition, the court will appoint a bankruptcy trustee who will be responsible for the wind-up of the business.
