Euronext Successfully Transfers Its Portuguese Derivatives To New Trading And Clearing Systems - Cash And Derivatives Markets Migration Completed In Lisbon

Euronext has today successfully migrated its Portuguese derivatives products onto the Euronext trading and clearing technology systems: LIFFE CONNECT® and CLEARING 21®, respectively. The transfer was made on schedule.

The migration of Lisbon derivatives products onto LIFFE CONNECT®, the world's most advanced derivatives trading platform, and CLEARING 21®, a real time clearing and netting system, is a major step in creating a single market for all Euronext derivatives products, making cross-border trading cheaper and easier.

The harmonization of Euronext technologies will be fully achieved in 6 months with the transfer of the Dutch derivatives products on LIFFE CONNECT®.

Jean-François Théodore, Chairman of the Managing Board and CEO of Euronext said: "With the successful migration of our Portuguese derivatives products on our harmonized trading and clearing systems we have achieved an additional step to deliver to our customers the leading cross-border market they are requesting. This migration is the last but one before the transfer in six months of the Dutch derivatives products on LIFFE CONNECT® ".
