4.4 Share Classes and Major Shareholders

4.4.1 REFERENCE SHAREHOLDERS 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 of 33.36% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares from the ICE, the selling shareholder at the IPO, at €19.20 or a 4% discount to the Offer Price (€20.00). This group of Reference shareholders was comprised of Novo Banco, BNP Paribas S.A., BNP Paribas Fortis S.A./N.V., ABN AMRO Bank N.V. through its subsidiary ABN AMRO Participaties Fund I B.V., ASR Levensverzekering N.V. (a company of the ASR Nederland group), Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, Bpifrance Participations, Euroclear S.A./N.V., Société Fédérale de Participations et d’Investissement / Federale Participatie- en Investeringsmaatschappij , Société Générale and BancoBPI Pension Fund represented by BPI Vida e Pensões – Companhia de Seguros , S.A. The Reference shareholders

had entered into a reference shareholders agreement (the “Reference shareholders Agreement”) governing the relationship among the Reference shareholders. On 13 June 2017, Euronext was informed that the Reference shareholders had decided to extend an amended version of their agreement dated 3 June 2014, which was due to expire on 20 June 2017 and which was extended for a further period of two years commencing on 21 June 2017. Eight of the initial Reference shareholders adhered to the extension, now accounting for 23.86% of Euronext’s share capital. The new Reference shareholders Group has agreed to a new lock-up period of two years commencing on 21 June 2017 and expiring on 20 June 2019. The Supervisory Board representation of the Reference shareholders will be maintained, as the Reference shareholders, acting jointly, will retain their right to nominate one third of the Supervisory Board seats.
