Vancouver BC - March 22, 2007 - AlphaTrade.com (OTCBB: APTD) the nation's leading independent developer and producer of financial software, has agreed to a four-year extension in their sponsorship with the world's premiere bull riding organization, The Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR). AlphaTrade joined ranks with the PBR in late December 2006. Since then, the British Columbia-based company has expanded its profile to include the steadily increasing demographic of the PBR attendees and viewers. "As one of the major sports in the United States, the PBR property brings our company to a consumer group beyond our core demographic. Teaming up with the PBR has granted us the exposure we've long desired," said Penny Perfect, CEO of AlphaTrade. The partnership includes several exciting advertising and promotional programs targeted to PBR riders, fans and stock contractors, as well as provides AlphaTrade extensive brand exposure through numerous sports sponsorship elements. Along with the customary in-arena elements, arena signage and network television advertising, AlphaTrade will continue to enjoy and benefit from the PBR's web site and media guide exposure, text messaging promotions, and sole ownership of the new AlphaTrade Bull Pen - a specially designed camera cage in the middle of the arena where each Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS) event champion sits and is interviewed live as they wait in anticipation to claim each BFTS event title. The sides of the AlphaTrade Bull Pen are now branded and dressed entirely in AlphaTrade.com signage with messaging to promote AlphaTrade's lucky fan promotion in which two lucky fans at each BFTS event get to watch the final rounds of the exciting event from inside the Bull Pen. Another exciting feature of this partnership is the first-ever AlphaTrade National Champion Award Program. Up to $200,000 in bonus prize money will be awarded to the 2007 AlphaTrade National Champion, and thousands of dollars will be up for grabs for one lucky fan and one lucky stock contractor via a text messaging promotion. Stay tuned for more information via PBR's website, publications, live events and television coverage. "AlphaTrade has proven to be a great supporter of the PBR in the few months we've enjoyed their association. We are excited about the possibilities this unique sponsor brings to the PBR's family of corporate partners." appraises PBR COO Sean Gleason.
