The creation of regulated market operators requires the prior authorisation in the form of a decree-law from the Portuguese Minister of Finance, following consultation with the CMVM. As a CSD, Euronext Securities Porto is governed by the CSDR and the Portuguese CSD Legal Framework, approved by Law 35/2018 of 20 July, along with the Portuguese Securities Code, the regulations of the CMVM and Euronext Securities Porto self-regulation.

Euronext Clearing is a central counterparty authorised by CONSOB and the Bank of Italy to provide clearing services in compliance with EMIR, which provides clearing services across a broad range of trading venues and asset classes, including equities, derivatives, commodity derivatives and fixed income products. Euronext Clearing’s activities are subject to the direct supervision and oversight of the Italian NCAs, namely the Bank of Italy, with reference to the stability and the reduction of systemic risk, and by CONSOB, with respect to transparency and investor protection. In the fulfilment of their supervisory duties, the two authorities are supported by the College of Regulators established pursuant to EMIR article 19. The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”) has been transposed domestically into the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance (d. lgs. 58/1998) and further into CONSOB and Bank of Italy Joint Regulation on Post-Trading (Provvedimento Unico sul Post-Trading of 13August 2018). The Netherlands Both Euronext N.V. and Euronext Amsterdam have licences from the Dutch authorities to operate regulated markets. This means that they are subject to the regulation and supervision of the Dutch Minister of Finance and the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (“AFM”). Since the creation of Euronext in 2000, the Dutch regulators have taken the view that the direct parent company of Euronext Amsterdam, as controlling shareholder, should be seen as co- market operator and, accordingly, also requires a licence. Pursuant to Section 5:26 Paragraph 1 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act it is prohibited in the Netherlands to operate or to manage a regulated market without a licence granted by the Dutch Minister of Finance. The Dutch Minister of Finance may, at any time, amend or revoke the licence if necessary, to ensure the proper functioning of the markets or the protection of investors. The licence may also be revoked for non-compliance with applicable rules.

Oslo Børs adopts rules for each of these markets to ensure fair and orderly trading and efficient order execution. In addition, Oslo Børs has been appointed as take-over authority pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. Oslo Børs has also delegated authority to supervise compliance with and to sanction violations of issuers’ obligation to disclose inside information pursuant to sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, cf. Section 17.1 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Regulation.
