         NEWS RELEASE



         For Release:  IMMEDIATE



                   BANKERS TRUST AND ALEX. BROWN AGREE TO MERGE

                                       ---

         COMBINED FIRM WILL OFFER FULL RANGE OF GLOBAL INVESTMENT
         BANKING CAPABILITIES

                                       ---

         MERGER CREATES THE LEADING FINANCIAL SERVICES FIRM FOR HIGH-
         GROWTH COMPANIES



                   New York, April 6, 1997 -- Bankers Trust New York
         Corporation (NYSE: BT) and Alex. Brown Incorporated (NYSE: AB)
         announced today that they have signed a definitive agreement to
         merge.  The combined company will have strong capabilities in
         every aspect of financing and advisory services and will be the
         pre-eminent provider of these services to growing companies and
         those in rapidly changing industries.

                   Under terms of the agreement approved unanimously by
         both boards of directors, each Alex. Brown common share will be
         exchanged for 0.83 shares of Bankers Trust common stock.  Based
         on the April 4 closing price of Bankers Trust and Alex. Brown's
         primary shares outstanding, the merger will have a value of
         approximately $1.7 billion.  On that same basis, Alex. Brown
         shareholders will own approximately 20% of Bankers Trust's
         shares outstanding after completion of the merger.  The trans-
         action is expected to be tax-free to shareholders and accounted
         for on a pooling-of-interests basis.

                   "This merger is a superb fit that significantly en-
         hances the combined firms' ability to provide our clients with
         a full range of superior services around the world," said Frank
         Newman, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive
         officer of Bankers Trust.  "In a single, integrated firm, cli-
         ents will have the benefit of Bankers Trust's expertise in syn-
         dicated bank lending and high-yield bonds and Alex. Brown's
         strength in equities research and underwriting.  We will
         greatly extend our advisory capabilities by adding Alex.
         Brown's merger and acquisition franchise with dynamic growth
         companies to BT Wolfensohn's M & A franchise.  Alex. Brown's
         highly regarded services for high net worth investors offer
         significant opportunities to broaden our private banking ac-
         tivities.

                   "Alex. Brown is one of the most successful and re-
         spected investment banking firms in the country.  With this
         merger, we gain the leadership, talent and experience of
         'Buzzy' Krongard, Mayo Shattuck and some of the best and
         brightest people in this business.  By accelerating our growth
         and expanding our scope of activities, this combination will
         offer the talented people in both firms enormous professional
         opportunities in the years ahead," concluded Mr. Newman.

                   A.B. Krongard, chairman of the board of directors and
         chief executive officer of Alex. Brown, said: "We are extremely
         excited to be joining a firm whose capabilities support and
         extend our core strengths.  By combining the oldest investment
         banking firm in America with a premier global financial insti-
         tution known for innovation, we are creating an exceptional
         organization ideally positioned to serve our clients.  Above
         all, our firms share a common culture that prizes integrity,
         excellence, and commitment to client service."

                   Bankers Trust's board of directors intends to elect
         Mr. Krongard a director and a vice chairman of the board of
         Bankers Trust New York Corporation.  He would join the board
         after the merger is completed.  In addition, Mayo A. Shattuck
         III, currently president and chief operating officer of Alex.
         Brown, will be named a vice chairman of Bankers Trust New York
         Corporation.  At the most recent meeting of Bankers Trust New
         York Corporation's board of directors, Yves deBalmann, co-head
         of investment banking and head of risk management services;
         Richard H. Daniel, chief financial officer; and R. Kelly
         Doherty, head of sales and trading and the firm's Latin Ameri-
         can activities were elected vice chairmen of the Corporation.
         Mr. deBalmann and Mr. Shattuck will jointly lead the integra-
         tion of the investment banking businesses of the two firms.
         Alex. Brown's headquarters will remain in Baltimore.

                   Bankers Trust and Alex. Brown believe the combined
         firm will generate significant additions in revenue from pro-
         viding existing clients of the two firms with an expanded range
         of services and from the enhanced ability of the merged firms
         to attract new clients.  In particular, additions are expected
         in equity underwriting, trading and sales; in high yield fi-
         nance; in risk management; and in mergers, acquisitions and
         advisory services.  The firms also expect to benefit from the
         expanded range of capabilities in private banking, brokerage
         and investment management.

                   The combined company expects to achieve annualized
         expense savings of approximately $80 million resulting from
         elimination of redundant operations within 12 months of close.
         At closing, Bankers Trust expects to recognize a one-time
         charge of approximately $80 million for restructuring and re-
         lated costs.  Bankers Trust believes the transaction will be
         accretive to earnings per share in the second year after close.

                   In connection with the transaction, Alex. Brown
         granted Bankers Trust an option, exercisable under certain con-
         ditions, to acquire shares representing 19.9% of Alex. Brown's
         outstanding shares.  Bankers Trust has granted Alex. Brown an
         option to purchase up to 10% of Bankers Trust's outstanding
         stock, exercisable under certain conditions.

                   The merger, which is expected to be completed by the
         fourth quarter of 1997, is subject to customary closing condi-
         tions, including certain regulatory approvals and shareholder
         approvals.

                   Bankers Trust is the seventh largest U.S. banking
         company with assets of $120 billion and has offices in more
         than 55 countries with over 15,000 employees.  Through its sub-
         sidiaries, which include Bankers Trust Company, BT Securities
         Corporation and Bankers Trust International PLC, the firm pro-
         vides investment banking, risk management, sales and trading,
         investment management and transaction processing services to
         more than 11,000 clients worldwide.

                   In 1996, Bankers Trust ranked as the third largest
         underwriter of high yield debt rated single-B and below and was
         the second largest arranger of highly leveraged syndicated
         loans.  Bankers Trust has more than $220 billion of assets un-
         der management for institutions, individuals, and families
         worldwide.  It provides custody services for approximately $1.5
         trillion of client assets.

         22 offices in 13 states and the District of Columbia, and rep-

         to the company's principal office in Baltimore, Alex. Brown has
         offices in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Chi-
         cago, Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

                   Alex. Brown has approximately 100 equity analysts
         covering more than 800 stocks, with more than 1,000 institu-
         tional clients and 115,000 high net worth clients.  In 1996,
         Alex. Brown ranked as the largest underwriter of initial public
         offerings in terms of number of transactions and the fifth
         largest underwriter by dollar value.  The firm was the largest
         underwriter of common stock of technology companies, based on
         the number of transactions, and the fourth largest underwriter
         based on dollar value of transactions.  In healthcare, Alex.
         Brown was the third largest underwriter of common stock in
         terms of number of transactions, and the fourth largest under-
         writer based on dollar value.  Alex. Brown has $12.5 billion of
         assets under management.

                   This news release contains estimates of future oper-
         ating results for both Bankers Trust New York Corporation and
         Alex. Brown Incorporated.  These estimates constitute forward-
         looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securi-
         ties Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which involve significant
         risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially
         from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements.
         Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not
         limited to: (1) expected cost savings from the merger cannot be
         fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (2)
         revenues following the merger are lower than expected; (3) com-
         petitive pressures among financial institutions increase sig-
         nificantly; (4) costs or difficulties related to the integra-
         tion of the business of Bankers Trust and Alex. Brown are
         greater than expected; (5) general economic conditions, either
         nationally or in the states in which the combined company will
         be doing business, are less favorable than expected; and (6)
         legislation or regulatory changes adversely affect the businesses
         in which the combined company would be engaged.

         FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION                                    
         _______________________________________________________________

         This presentation contains estimates of future operating
         results for both Bankers Trust Company and Alex. Brown
         Incorporated.  These estimates constitute forward-looking
         statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities
         Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which involve significant risks
         and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially from
         the results discussed in these forward-looking statements.
         Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not
         limited to:  (1) expected cost savings from the merger cannot
         be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame;
         (2) revenues following the merger are lower than expected; (3)
         competitive pressures among financial institutions increase
         significantly; (4) costs or difficulties related to the
         integration of the business of Bankers Trust and Alex. Brown
         are greater than expected; (5) general economic conditions,
         either nationally or in the states in which the combined
         company will be doing business, are less favorable than
         expected; and (6) legislation or regulatory changes adversely
         affect the businesses in which the combined company would be
         engaged.
