<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt"><FONT style="font-size: 11.5pt"><I>Provides Leading Edge Technology and Immediately Expands Investment Management Client Base</I></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 11.5pt"><FONT style="font-size: 12pt"><B>NEW YORK, NY&#151;February&nbsp;7, 2007 </B>- Bowne &#038; Co., Inc. (NYSE: <U>BNE</U>), a leader in
shareholder and marketing communications services, today announced it has signed a definitive
agreement to acquire the assets and operating business of GCom <SUP>2</SUP> Solutions, Inc. (GCom) for $45
million in cash. GCom is a leading provider of proprietary financial administration and reporting
software and solutions to the global investment management industry. The Company expects the
transaction to close during the first quarter and to be accretive to its 2008 results. The
transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Dave Shea, Bowne Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, &#147;This strategic acquisition enhances
our capabilities to provide innovative shareholder communication services to the growing investment
management industry. As reporting requirements become increasingly complex, customers require more
sophisticated expertise and technology, and GCom is a natural fit with our existing business.
Importantly, this acquisition supports our strategy to grow our non-transactional revenue, a key
area of focus for us.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">The market size for all of Bowne&#146;s services in the investment management industry &#150; comprising both
traditional asset management firms as well as alternative investment firms such as hedge funds and
private equity firms &#150; continues to grow, representing a market size of over $1&nbsp;billion, and
therefore presents a significant opportunity for Bowne. The addition of GCom&#146;s investment fund
customers and third party fund administrators worldwide will expand Bowne&#146;s investment management
client base significantly. Additionally, through GCom&#146;s leading edge technology solutions, Bowne
will be able to offer its clients complementary services, providing value further upstream in the
document management life cycle.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">&#147;We see a significant international growth opportunity, particularly in Europe, where more than 50%
of global registered mutual funds reside. GCom&#146;s technology, combined with our existing
capabilities, clearly provides Bowne with a competitive advantage,&#148; added Bill Penders, Bowne
President. &#147;Fund complexes already represent a significant portion of our client base, and this
acquisition extends our reach into the hedge fund industry, which has experienced tremendous growth
over the past ten years.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">With estimated annual revenue of approximately $25-$30&nbsp;million, GCom offers a robust, innovative
suite of scalable software products that provide investment administrators easy-to-use, intuitive
solutions, offering significant cost savings, while addressing their reporting and shareholder
communication challenges. GCom&#146;s flagship product, FundSuite&nbsp;SX&#174;, converts raw financial data into
effective communications, reports and filings, and its unmatched features and functionality reflect
GCom&#146;s in-depth understanding of challenges facing fund administrators. GCom operates in the
United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Luxembourg.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">&#147;GCom has differentiated itself in the marketplace by providing services and solutions based upon
leading edge technology, built around integrated input from the investment management industry
itself and GCom&#146;s close relationship with its clients,&#148; said Philip J. Kendall, GCom&#146;s Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. &#147;The synergistic aspects of this acquisition by Bowne will further
enhance this approach and accelerate its leadership position in the marketplace.&#148;


<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt">********



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Bowne has scheduled a conference call to discuss this transaction with investors on Monday,
