BIDS Trading is a registered broker-dealer and the operator of the BIDS Alternative Trading System (ATS). As the creator of the Block Trading Perfected (TM) Company Solutions, BIDS Trading brings counterparties together to anonymously trade large blocks of shares. Their aim is to resolve the classic paradox of the block trader - the need to find legitimate trading counterparties without prematurely revealing trading intentions.

The BIDS ATS is open to all qualifying broker-dealers and their institutional clients, subject to basic credit and regulatory requirements. It is not a registered national securities exchange or a facility thereof, but rather an independently managed and operated trading venue. BIDS Trading is a subsidiary of BIDS Holdings L.

P., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe). The senior management team at BIDS Trading, including President Stephen J.

Berte and VP Jim Lee, bring years of experience and expertise in equity trading markets, technology, and business management. They are committed to increasing competition and liquidity in equity trading markets around the world. With their comprehensive range of solutions and a focus on anonymity and integrity, BIDS Trading is revolutionizing the way large block trades are executed
