In the context of the 9th Annual Capital Link Forum under the overall topic: "Greece Delivering Results: Investment and Business Opportunities in Greece Today" that is going to take place in New York City, on Friday November 9th, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange in cooperation with Capital Link organizes on Thursday, November the 8th, 2007 a ceremony in honor of Greece. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) also organizes a breakfast during which the Minister of Economy & Finance, Mr. Alogoskoufis, the Chairman of the Athens Exchange, Mr. Capralos, Greek companies listed in NYSE as well as all companies participating in the "9th Annual Capital Link Forum" will be honoured.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is also going to leave the "Opening Bell" of the November 8th, 2007 trading day to Minister of Economy & Finance, Mr. Alogoskoufis, a day celebrated as "Greek Day at NYSE".

Opening Bell ceremony at the Historic Hall of the New York Stock Exchange receives significant promotion internationally given its live broadcasting by all TV channels.

During the Opening Bell ceremony, Minister Alogoskoufis will be accompanied by Mr. John Papathanassiou, Deputy Minister of Economy & Finance, Mr. Capralos, Chairman of the Athens Exchange, members of the Greek delegation, businessmen and top executives of Greek listed companies in NYSE. In particular:

Mr. Iordanis Aivazis, - Chief Operating Officer, Hellenic Telecommunications Organization (NYSE: OTE), Ms. Angeliki Frangou, - Managing Director, Navios Maritime Holdings (NYSE: NM), and Mr. Nikolas P. Tsakos, CEO of Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN) Limited (NYSE: TNP), Mr. Dimitris Melissanidis, Founder of Aegean Oil, (NYSE: ANW), Mr. Harry David of Coca Cola (HBC NYSE CCH).

The "Greek Day at NYSE" has been established during the past three years in honour of Minister Alogoskoufis and in recognition of the continuously increasing number of Greek interest companies which are being listed on the NYSE. It also is being organised in the context of the Annual Invest in Greece Forum by Capital Link, which is managing Investor Relations for 20 listed shipping companies.

It is important to emphasize the increasing number of Greek interest shipping companies that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange as well as on other main American Stock Exchanges. Greek shipping honours Greece internationally, and in parallel Greek shipping companies have thousands of American shareholders, both institutional and private investors, via their listing on American Stock Exchanges. Indirectly, through shipping, Greece is increasingly going under the periscope of US business, banking, and investor circles, attracting their attention to the capabilities and prospects of the Greek economy and to the role of Greece as a gateway to international corporations which focus on the markets of South-East Europe and the Middle East.
