For the first time, a series of call and put warrants on gold will be listed on NextWarrants, the Euronext market segment for warrants. Call and put warrants on a Forward contract on Brent will also be launched at the same date. A liquidity-provider contract has been negociated with Société Générale to ensure liquidity in these new products1.
NextWarrants is the Euronext market segment dedicated to warrants, that was launched in April 2002. This segment was created to allow easy identification and promotion of warrants, and is backed by a dedicated electronic trading platform, NSC-Warrants. All warrants traded on Euronext’s regulated markets are listed on NextWarrants, that offers issuers, as well as retail and institutional investors, easy and direct access to a market of around 4,000 warrants. Comprehensive information on each warrant is available on Euronext’s website (www.euronext.com), including product characteristics, historical data and educational documents, and direct links to issuers’ websites.
1 For more information on the products, please refer to the prospectus available from the issuer, and Euronext Brussels Notice nr 324 dated 29 July 2004.
