PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP

Description of the Business

TOTAL MONEY RAISED (€ BN)

European Tech Hub for SMEs Euronext launched in 2017 the opening of new offices in five European cities outside its core markets – in Germany (Frankfurt, Munich), Italy (Milan), Spain (Madrid) and Switzerland (Zurich) – to assist Tech companies in developing their business on a greater scale through capital markets. Euronext had identified the four target countries to set up and roll-out dedicated offers to attract Tech SMEs on Euronext markets with the aim to become the number one exchange for European Tech SMEs in continental Europe. With 336 listed Tech SMEs and mid-tier firms representing a total market capitalization of €64 billion, Euronext is already the leading quotation provider in continental Europe for technology stocks. In view of the growth potential, financing needs and specific features of tech companies, Euronext believes that it can expand its services to include new innovative companies based – among others – in the four target countries. Euronext has set up a salesforce of six FTEs to sell a unique value proposition to Tech SMEs in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. In 2018, Euronext will deploy two new programs specifically for European Tech SMEs:  get to know your investors: following their listing, companies will benefit from in-house market intelligence services for six months. The services will be tailored for their business and will help them develop a better understanding of their investor base;  Trade & Leverage: following their listing, companies will benefit from investor access initiatives sponsored by Euronext, such as equity research, investor events and forums. Market leading providers will be pre-selected to offer the best results and services at the best price. The Techshare programme will also be deployed in the four new countries in September 2018.

New Initiatives In 2017, Euronext has launched new initiatives for family businesses. The aim is to encourage them to view financial markets as a source of financing, a governance and transmission tool, a way to enhance their visibility and a mean of raising their profile with investors. Today, 229 family businesses are listed on Euronext markets, representing a total market capitalisation of €1,060 billion. This includes 153 SMEs with a total market capitalisation of €44 billion. Family-owned SME stocks benefit from increased assistance in several areas. This includes European roadshows to meet investors, improved financial analysis coverage through the Morningstar programme and Euronext Family Business index®, a new European index with ninety component companies in the four countries covered by Euronext. Finally, FamilyShare, a dedicated programme offering support and coaching to unlisted family businesses, will be set up across Euronext markets and tailored to the specific needs of each country. This unique pan-European initiative is designed to familiarise family-owned businesses with capital markets, both equity and bonds, giving them the information they need to bring their companies to the market. Agility for Growth Initiatives In May 2016, Euronext announced its strategic plan “Agility for Growth”. On this occasion, Euronext announced to focus on six growth initiatives in selected segments, two of which concern the Listing business.
