In support of FTI Technology’s e-discovery consulting and services expansion, the Company has added a team of legal industry

processes and technology enhancements to quickly and cost-effectively deliver results. These enhancements will leverage existing
FTI Technology and Ringtail tools, including Bloomberg Chat ingestion, Ringtail Analytics and Ringtail Connect API.
