Thomas
Weisel Partners Group, Inc. (“Registrant”) announced today that it would

affiliate. Thomas Weisel Partners is pursuing its legal remedies in
connection with these departures. Discovery Research, a subscription-based
research product, was produced out of Thomas Weisel Partners’ office in Mumbai,
India. Thomas Weisel Partners intends to continue to conduct other
business and operations through its Mumbai, India office.
