Euronext N.V. today announced a proposal to the holders of its £ 250 million 5.125% Notes due 2009 to insert a call option at gilt flat for an early redemption of the Notes. Euronext seeks through this proposal to gain flexibility to possibly restructure or refinance its debt at lower cost in the future. Should the proposal be approved, Euronext will have until 30 June 2007 to exercise the call, should it wish to do so.
Approval of the proposal will be sought by way of extraordinary resolution to be considered and if thought fit approved in a meeting of holders expected to be held on 19 March 2007. The Proposal is not being made in any jurisdictions in which it would not be in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdictions.
