The ISS Canary Wharf Classic, which will take place at the spectacular East
Wintergarden in London between 22 & 26 March 2010, has received an early boost as
Canary Wharf Group plc joins renowned facilities services management company, ISS,
in partnering the event for another two years.

The Canary Wharf Classic has renewed its association with title sponsor ISS through to the
2011 tournament, whilst also extending its ongoing partnership with Canary Wharf Group plc
who have confirmed use of the East Wintergarden venue for this duration. The event, which
draws an affluent city audience, has proved to be an attractive proposition for companies
looking to engage the corporate sector and following demand for sponsorship opportunities,
has released additional partnership packages.

The tournament, run by events company Eventis and fronted by legendary squash player
Peter Nicol MBE, has always been a popular sporting occasion in the City and, having
enjoyed record early ticket sales, looks set to sell out once more. Interest in other available
associations, which include the travel and hotel categories, has been equally promising and
further underlines the event’s prestigious standing.

Eventis Director, Peter Nicol MBE, points to the ISS Canary Wharf Classic’s broad appeal as
the foremost reason for the event’s continued success, saying, “With the tournament now
moving into its seventh year, it has become a focal point both within the global squash
calendar and as a unique event within one of the world’s top business centres. Canary
Wharf’s accessibility allows corporate guests, the London public and core squash fans alike to
enjoy East Wintergarden’s intimate yet electric atmosphere whilst the venue’s grandeur and
the tournament’s pedigree attracts the world’s top players every year.”

Canary Wharf plc Arts and Events Manager, Lucie Moore, added, “We are very pleased to
renew our association with the ISS Canary Wharf Classic and look forward to another event
as successful as it has been in previous years.”

The ISS Canary Wharf Classic will again feature an array of the world’s top squash talent,
having hosted eight of the top ten players in 2009. In a highly charged final, Australian twotime
World Champion David Palmer beat Sheffield’s former world number two James
Willstrop to thwart his attempt at a third successive Championship title.

Current British number one Nick Matthew will be amongst the favourites to take victory in
London having had a disappointing outing at last year’s meeting. Matthew finished 2009 in top
form having fully recovered from injury to take his third successive PSA World Tour Super
Series Final. After winning the World Games in July, the current world number two lifted the
British Open trophy for the second time in September and followed it up with the Qatar
Classic title in November.

Remaining tickets for the 2010 ISS Canary Wharf Squash Classic are on sale via
