The IPE has for some time been conducting a technology review with the objective of securing for the Exchange a world-class electronic trading capability. As part of this process the IPE has been evaluating a number of third party technology providers. The technical assessment phase of this process is now complete and the nature of the long-term relationship with technology providers is now being explored. These relationships could involve a technical services agreement and, possibly, an equity investment in IPE Holdings plc.
When these exploratory discussions are completed IPE Members will be fully consulted before any decision is taken.
