Suspension Of Trading In Euronext Shares

As a provisional measure, Euronext is suspending trading in its own shares with effect from 9.00am CET this morning. This is a precautionary action pending a verdict that is to be received later this morning from the District Court of Rotterdam, The Netherlands in the appeal procedure between Euronext N.V. and Euronext Amsterdam N.V. and the Dutch Minister of Finance related to the consolidated capital requirements.  Following an analysis of this verdict which may or may not be a final decision, Euronext will issue a statement after which trading will resume as soon as possible.
