Shareholders, Analysts and Investors Euronext has an ongoing dialogue with financial analysts, shareholders and investors. Euronext investor relations team met with more than 350 investors and ESG investors in 2020, notably through conducting roadshows in seven countries (United-Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the United States, Canada) as well as virtual roadshows, and attended eleven investors conferences. Euronext is willing to continue to engage with its shareholders on a regular basis so as to enhance the knowledge of the Company and the understanding of its strategy. Prior to the IPO, on 27 May 2014, a group of institutional investors (collectively, the “Reference Shareholders”, and each a “Reference Shareholder”) purchased an aggregate percentage of the issued

and outstanding Ordinary Shares from ICE, the selling shareholder at the IPO. The Reference Shareholders (see section 6.4.1) have entered into a Reference Shareholders’ agreement (the “Reference Shareholders Agreement”) governing the relationship among the Reference Shareholders. This agreement expired on 20 June 2017 and was extended for a further period of two years commencing on 21 June 2017. On 17 June 2019, Euronext was informed that the Reference Shareholders had decided to extend an amended version of their Reference Shareholders Agreement for a further period of two years commencing on 20 June 2019. The new Reference Shareholders group from that date comprised of five of the former members and accounted for 23.27% of Euronext share capital.
