DAYTON, Ohio, April 19, 2006 - LexisNexis U.S., a leading provider of information and services solutions, today announced the introduction of the LexisNexis Advertising Red Books Global Brand Guide (http://redbooks.com/Nonsub/purchase.asp), a two-volume printed directory containing an index to more than 180,000 brands and a listing of the 25,000-plus companies that own them. Through this reference guide a user can easily cross-reference brands with their parent companies and vice versa.

Using this tool, researchers are able to pinpoint the information they need while decreasing the hours normally spent on research. The guide's company listing section contains an alphabetical listing of companies that own brands, and if they report to a parent organization. The brand and product index provides a short description of the brand, trade name, product or slogan.

"With today's high volume of mergers and acquisitions, business leaders, investors and professional researchers are seeking new tools to track brand ownership," said Tim Fusco, vice president of publishing operations for LexisNexis Corporate and Federal Markets. "By providing them with a cross-referencing tool on brand ownership, LexisNexis helps business leaders efficiently locate the information they need to make well-informed decisions that are critical to their business."
