During 2017, no Supervisory Board member acted as a delegated Supervisory Boardmember, nor was any Supervisory Boardmember involved in Euronext’s management. As far as Euronext is aware, there were no transactions in which there were conflicts of interest with the members of the Supervisory Board that were of material significance to Euronext and/or to any of its subsidiaries during the 2017 financial year. Euronext’s Articles of Association provide for an indemnity for each present or former member of the Managing Board and each present or former member of the Supervisory Board against all costs, charges, losses and liabilities incurred by them in the proper execution of their duties or the proper exercise of their powers in any such capacities in the Company including, without limitation, any liability incurred in defending proceedings in which judgment is given in their favour or in which they are acquitted, or which are otherwise disposed of without a finding or admission of material breach of duty on their part, other than cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence ( opzet of grove nalatigheid ). The Supervisory Board is supported by Euronext N.V.’s Company secretary, Paul Theunissen. Euronext N.V.’s registered address serves as the business address for all members of the Supervisory Board , being Beursplein 5, 1012 JW, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Three members of the Supervisory Board, namely Koenraad Dom, Lieve Mostrey and Franck Silvent, were proposed by the Company’s Reference shareholders, who as a group hold more than ten percent of the Company’s shares. The Company regards these three members of the Supervisory Board as non-independent within the meaning of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.The background of the presence of three non-independent members in Euronext’s Supervisory Board is related to the wish of Euronext College of Regulators for Euronext to have a number of stable, long- term shareholders. Dutch law requires large Dutch companies to pursue a policy of having at least 30% of the seats on both the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board held by men and at least 30% of those seats held by women. Euronext qualifies as a large Dutch Company and does not meet these gender diversity targets with respect to the Supervisory Board, as two of the nine members are women. This is partly related to historical circumstances and partly to the sectors in which Euronext is active. Euronext will continue to promote gender diversity within its Supervisory Board by striving to increase the proportion of female members by taking into account all relevant selection criteria including, but not limited to, gender balance, with regard to future appointments.
