history
Foundation and expansion
The company was founded on September 22, 2000 as a holding company under Dutch law through the merger of the Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris stock exchanges. At the beginning of 2002, Euronext expanded through the merger with the Portuguese exchange Bolsa de Valores de Lisboa e Porto (BVLP) and the takeover of the London futures exchange London International Financial Futures and Option Exchange (LIFFE). After that, Euronext was the largest cross-border exchange in Europe.
Merger with the New York Stock Exchange
On June 1, 2006, Euronext had agreed to merge with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Euronext shareholders received 0.98 NYSE shares for each Euronext share, plus an additional EUR 21.32 in cash. The shareholders of both stock exchanges and the supervisory authorities have given their consent.
An Extraordinary General Meeting of Euronext had been called for December 19, 2006. Here the merger was finally decided. The merger created the first transatlantic exchange on April 4, 2007. The new holding company was called NYSE Euronext and had a market capitalization of around 15 billion euros. It owned the Dutch Euronext NV from 2007 to 2014 as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Spin-off from the New York Stock Exchange and IPO
Immediately after the NYSE Euronext was taken over by the Intercontinental Exchange in November 2013, it became known that Euronext would be spun off from NYSE Euronext, albeit without LIFFE . The reason for this decision is the opinion of the Intercontinental Exchange that the European stock exchanges are not part of the core business. Thus, the merger was reversed after seven years. Euronext went public on June 20, 2014 on the stock exchanges in Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels; Lisbon will follow at a later date. The issue price for the 42.25 million shares placed and thus around 60 percent of the capital was set at EUR 20 per share. A group of institutional investors such as ABN Amro and BNP Paribas hold a further 33.36 percent , as the sale of Euronext was subject to the condition that at least 25 percent of the shares remain with the old owner for at least three years, or alternatively, the sale of the share to an investor was possible. The Intercontinental Exchange retains a minority stake of around 7 percent. The proceeds from this IPO amount to 842 million euros. On the first day of trading, the Euronext share closed 2 percent below the issue price, but was at times up to 5 percent lower. Nevertheless, all of the shares offered were successfully placed. The market capitalization of Euronext was around 1.4 billion euros at the time of issue .
