During the first quarter of 2020, the Group entered into binding agreements to sell its 7.74% minority stake in Algomi Ltd. to BGC Partners. The transaction is expected to close in the course of 2020. The Group expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $3.0 million from the sale of its minority stake.

Covid-19 outbreak The recent and emerging outbreak of Covid-19 is causing high market uncertainty which has led to high volumes in the first quarter of 2020. However, if the situation continues to deteriorate, the impact of the pandemic on the markets could be detrimental. Governments around the world and in most Euronext countries have implemented or announced unprecedented monetary and fiscal responses. Those measures are aimed at avoiding or mitigating the consequences of a potential downturn, however their duration, scope and effectiveness remain uncertain. Currently the market sentiment has led to high volatility and volumes on the market positively impacting Euronext’s trading revenues. However, as the Covid-19 pandemic may push the global economy into a recession in the longer term, trading revenues may suffer from loss of volume. The uncertainty may also impact other business lines, notably the Listing business, which may see a decrease in IPOs. The ultimate severity of the Covid-19 pandemic is very uncertain and therefore the Group cannot reasonably estimate the impact it may have on its financial statements at this stage.
