Following recent market speculation, Euronext confirms that consolidation discussions regarding a transformational combination are progressing rapidly with a number of parties. It is very clear from moves across the exchange industry that the process of global consolidation is well underway, and Euronext is committed to playing a leading role in these developments.

As stated in our press release of April 3rd, Euronext is committed to identifying and pursuing the best consolidation transaction for its shareholders and stakeholders. The Managing Board is actively assessing the different options as they evolve, and the Supervisory Board will review the status of discussions when it meets prior to the Annual General Meeting on May 23rd. Euronext will outline the most attractive options to shareholders at the AGM, with the goal of finalising an agreement as soon as practicable thereafter.
