15 Companies Moved From Nasdaq Europe To Euronext Brussels

From today on Algo Vision Plc⁽¹⁾, a company under UK law formerly listed on Nasdaq Europe, is listed on Euronext Brussels.

With this new transfer, Euronext Brussels welcomed a total of 15 companies having made the move from Nasdaq Europe.

Five of them had decided at an early stage to have a secondary listing on Euronext Brussels in order to offer their investors in the Eurozone a more transparent and more liquid trading platform:

Ubizen: 28/9/2000
Global Graphics: 17/4/2001
Melexis: 17/5/2002
Innogenetics:11/12/2002
Icos Vision: 4/6/2003

Ten additional international companies have made the move since Nasdaq Europe announced on 26 June 2003, to discontinue its activities on 30 November. These transfers were facilitated by the Minister of Finance and by the Banking and Finance Commission, allowing those companies to make the move without issuing a new prospectus and without costs, in a spirit of continuity of their listing:

Olivier Lefebvre, Executive Vice-President and Member of the Managing Board of Euronext, said: "The transfer to Euronext of the companies listed on Nasdaq Europe which started long before the announcement of the closing of that market, is a strong indicator that the Euronext cross border model is the right one, including for smaller companies. Indeed, it combines the virtues of a home market and the international dimension of the largest equity market in the eurozone."
