Diversified Market Offering In 2017, Euronext has changed its market names for easier identification and definition of its listing and service offering towards issuers:  the Free Market and Easynext became Euronext Access;  alternext became Euronext Growth;  Euronext (compartments A, B and C) remains the Group’s regulated market, and operates with no changes;  Euronext opened a new compartment called Euronext Access+, within Euronext Access. Designed for both start-ups and SMEs, Euronext Access+ will help them make a smooth transition and acclimatization to other Euronext markets, notably in terms of investor communications and transparency. This new compartment, which is part of Euronext Access, is a springboard to other Euronext markets. Companies admitted to trading on Euronext Access+ will be given additional assistance and their shares will benefit from greater visibility.
