ACHIEVEMENT OF MOST OF 2019 TARGETS ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE AND SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF HIGHLY ACCRETIVE ACQUISITIONS. 2019 COST TARGET ANNOUNCED Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, London and Paris – 14 February 2019 – Euronext, the leading pan-European exchange in the Eurozone with 1,300 listed issuers, today announces its results for the full year 2018. Strong increase of Euronext performance through 2018
Achievement of most of 2019 targets of Agility for Growth strategic plan one year in advance, confirming Q3 2018 momentum
Continued business diversification through highly accretive acquisitions
Contemplated acquisitions of Oslo Børs VPS On 14 January 2019, Euronext launched an all-cash tender offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Oslo Børs VPS Holding ASA (“Oslo Børs VPS”). The original offer price of NOK145 per share, ie NOK6.24 billion (€625 million[5]) for all outstanding shares of Oslo Børs VPS, has been amended to NOK158 per share, ie. NOK6.79 billion (€695 million[6]) on 11 February 2019 and the acceptance period will expire on 11 March 2019 and can be extended as appropriate. The offer remains subject to conditions presented in the offer document[7] and in the press release published on 11 February 20193. This transaction would follow Euronext’s recent acquisition of Euronext Dublin (formerly the Irish Stock Exchange) and would represent another key milestone in the delivery of the group’s vision to build a consistent pan-European marketplace offering best-in-class capital markets services. Cost guidance for 2019 In 2018, Euronext has extended its scope of activity both organically and through acquisitions. Furthermore, most of the core business 2019 targets of the Agility for Growth plan have been achieved one year in advance. To simplify and improve the tracking of its performance, Euronext will now report only group performance (including selected growth initiatives and new perimeter). New mid-term targets will be presented in H2 2019 as a part of the new strategic plan. In 2019, Euronext expects to limit the growth rate of its operating costs to a low single digit[8], despite the consolidation of Euronext Dublin for the full year of 2019[9]. Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said: “Euronext delivered a strong financial performance in 2018 with double digit growth in revenue, EBITDA and adjusted EPS thanks to strengthened core business and market share on cash trading at 66%. Combined with efforts on cost, Euronext was able to reach most of its 2019 targets one year in advance, confirming the Q3 2018 momentum, with a core business and selected growth initiatives EBITDA margin reaching 61.6%. In 2018, Euronext successfully welcomed Euronext Dublin teams within the Group and achieved the migration of Irish markets to Optiq trading platform early February 2019, seven months after its transition for the Group cash markets. Euronext is pursuing its European strategy with the project to acquire Oslo Børs VPS, to reach another milestone in its value creation strategy and to fulfill its mission to finance the real economy in Europe. The Group is committed to deploy its capital and to analyze further acquisitions to expand its decentralized model in Europe and diversify its revenue profile. Euronext Group has transformed itself in the past three years, with a top line growing by around €100m thanks to combined organic and external growth. In order to fully reflect the new Group, and given that most of the 2019 announced core business targets were met one year in advance, Euronext provides a costs guidance for 2019, prior to the release of its new strategic plan later this year, that will better help our stakeholders to assess its performance. For 2019, Euronext expects a low-single digit growth of Group operating expenses (excluding D&A) compared to 2018, thanks to its continued strong cost discipline.”

11 Fév 2019 | Sequana Medical lists on Euronext Brussels |
![]() |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Capital raised through IPO will enable the execution of Sequana Medical’s strategy Brussels, 11 February 2019 – Belgian-based medtech company Sequana Medical NV (ticker symbol: SEQUA) today began trading on Euronext Brussels (Compartment C) with an initial market capitalisation of approximately €107.2 million. This transaction demonstrates the attractiveness of Euronext as the leading stock exchange for European biotech and medtech companies. With this operation, Sequana Medical joins a large franchise of 89 life science companies (52 biotech and 37 medtech companies) currently listed on Euronext’s markets, representing a total market capitalisation of €22 billion per 31 January 2019. Sequana Medical NV is a commercial stage medical device company focused on the development of innovative treatment solutions for the management of liver disease, heart failure, malignant ascites and other fluid imbalance disorders. Sequana Medical's first product is the alfapump®, a fully implantable, programmable, wirelessly-charged, battery-powered system. It has been approved in Europe for the treatment of liver refractory ascites and malignant ascites and has shown a strong performance in multiple clinical studies and over 650 implants. The alfapump® has recently been granted breakthrough device designation by the US FDA. The Company is also developing alfapump® DSR (Direct Sodium Removal), a novel and proprietary approach to the treatment of volume overload in heart failure for which a first-in-human study is ongoing. Founded in Switzerland in 2006, Sequana has established its new corporate headquarters in Ghent, Belgium, in order to benefit from Belgium’s attractive healthcare ecosystem and ultimately to list on Euronext Brussels, one of the most dynamic stock exchanges in Europe for life sciences IPOs. With an initial reference price set at €8.5 per share, Sequana Medical’s initial market capitalization stands at €107.2 million. Ian Crosbie, Chief Executive Officer of Sequana Medical, said: "We are very pleased with the successful closing of our IPO on Euronext Brussels, which is renowned for being very supportive of high-quality listings in the healthcare space. The funds raised will support our commercial and clinical development with the goal to make the alfapump® and alfapump® DSR available to a broader patient group and address important unmet medical needs. We would like to thank all of our existing shareholders and our new investors for their support in making this transaction a success and we are looking forward to entering this exciting new phase for our Company." To mark Sequana Medical’s first trading day, Ian Crosbie, Chief Executive Officer of Sequana Medical, rang the bell to open the markets in Brussels today. About Sequana Medical Sequana Medical's alfapump® is a fully implantable, programmable, wirelessly-charged, battery-powered system that is CE-marked for the management of i) refractory ascites (chronic fluid build-up in the abdomen) due to liver cirrhosis and ii) malignant ascites (with a life expectancy of six months or less). The number of patients with liver refractory ascites is forecast to increase dramatically due to the growing prevalence of NASH (Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis). Over 650 alfapump® systems have been implanted and since April 2018, the alfapump® has been included in the EASL (European Association for the Study of the Liver) clinical practice guidelines for decompensated cirrhosis. In January 2019, the FDA has granted Breakthrough Device designation for the alfapump® for the treatment of liver recurrent or refractory ascites. The alfapump® MOSAIC North American IDE feasibility study in patients with liver refractory or recurrent ascites has been completed and results were presented at the AASLD (American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases) annual meetings in October 2017 and November 2018. The alfapump® has not yet received regulatory approval in the U.S. The alfapump® is one of the first safe and effective, long-term alternatives to large-volume paracentesis which is a lengthy, invasive and painful procedure, only providing short-term symptomatic relief, requiring hospital visits and placing a significant burden on the healthcare system and patient quality of life. By automatically and continuously moving ascites to the bladder, where the body eliminates it naturally through urination, the alfapump® prevents fluid build-up and its possible complications, improving patient quality of life and nutrition, and potentially reducing hospital visits and healthcare costs. The alfapump® DirectLink technology allows clinicians to receive pump performance information and more effectively manage patients treated by the alfapump®. Sequana Medical is developing the alfapump® DSR, built upon the proven alfapump® platform, to deliver a convenient and fully implanted system for Direct Sodium Removal ("DSR") therapy, a novel and proprietary approach for the management of volume overload in heart failure. Data from animal studies presented at EuroPCR 2018 and HFSA 2018 indicate that DSR therapy is effective and safe. A first in human study for DSR therapy is ongoing. Treatment of volume overload in diuretic-resistant heart failure patients is a major clinical challenge. There are an estimated one million hospitalisations due to heart failure in the U.S. each year, of which 90% are due to symptoms of volume overload. The estimated cost of heart failure-related hospitalisations in the U.S. is $13 billion a year. Sequana Medical is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium and investors include NeoMed Management, LSP (Life Science Partners), VI Partners, BioMedPartners, Capricorn Venture Partners, Entrepreneur's Fund, Salus Partners, Newton Biocapital, PMV and SFPI-FPIM.

Julie Sinnamon, CEO of Enterprise Ireland said, “Enterprise Ireland’s ambition is to grow the number of Irish businesses of scale, as a back-bone of the economy. Access to appropriate and adequate sources of strategic finance to fund each stage of growth, is essential. We are pleased to collaborate with Euronext on the ‘IPOready programme’ to help demystify the IPO journey and equip business owners with the knowledge and skills to raise funds on the Irish and/or international stock exchanges. We look forward to working with Euronext on future IPOready programmes and to more Irish IPO success stories.” Padraic Clarke, CFO of Atlantic Therapeutics said, “I would recommend the IPOready programme to any growing Irish company looking to access significant finance as a critical strategic enabler of their growth. Even if an IPO is not the ultimate source of that finance, the learnings that I took away from the programme are relavent to any fundraising situation, and were of benefit to Atlantic Therapeutics in our recent equity fundraising. IPOready has provided us a fantastic opportunity to meet other companies in a similar position and to learn from their experiences as well as providing contacts with potential advisors and investors for the future.” Laurence Flavin, CFO of Finance Ireland, said “We were delighted to be part of the IPOready programme. It was a natural step in the progression of a high growth business like Finance Ireland, as Ireland’s largest non-bank lender. The programme put us in a positive environment with companies of a similar DNA and gave us access to the expertise and resources needed in considering the suitability of an IPO for our business in the future. We would strongly recommend the programme to other companies with a track record and growth ambitions.” Orla O’Gorman, Head of Equity Listing, Euronext Dublin said, “Congratulations to the fantastic, ambitious, companies graduating from our #IPOready programme.

Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, London and Paris - 28 December 2018 - Euronext, the leading pan-European exchange, announces today that it has raised its commitment from 49.6%, as announced on 24 December 2018[1], to 50.6% of Oslo Børs VPS Holding ASA ("Oslo Børs VPS") outstanding shares in the context of the tender offer to be launched. This 50.6% commitment is comprised of irrevocable pre-commitments from Oslo Børs VPS shareholders to tender 45.5% of the outstanding shares, and share purchases performed by Euronext, representing a further 5.1% of the capital (2,193,000 shares). Exceeding the 50% of total outstanding shares threshold shows the interest from Oslo Børs VPS shareholders for Euronext's offer to be launched, satisfying one of the conditions required for its completion and strengthening Euronext's confidence on its successful outcome. In this end, Euronext will continue to feed into a constructive dialogue with all Oslo Børs VPS stakeholders. As a reminder1, as part of the contemplated transaction, Euronext would, as soon as practical, launch a NOK 6.24 billion (€625m[2]) all-cash offer for the outstanding shares in Oslo Børs VPS, the Norwegian Stock Exchange and national CSD operator, at NOK 145 per share. This represents a 32% premium on Oslo Børs VPS's closing price on 17 December 2018[3] and 34% on Oslo Børs VPS's 3-month volume-weighted average share price. Euronext's offer will be subject to certain customary conditions including a short due diligence period, minimum acceptance threshold of 50%, regulatory approvals and a favourable vote of Euronext shareholders. There can be no certainty that a transaction will be completed. The company undertakes no obligation to update the market on the discussions. Euronext will communicate material information, if any, in due course.

20 Déc 2018 | Euronext acquires Commcise |

ACQUISTION OF 78% OF SAAS COMPANY TO COMPLEMENT EURONEXT SERVICES OFFERING WITH RESEARCH AND COMMISSION MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR BUY-SIDE AND SELL-SIDE Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, London and Paris – 20 December 2018 – Euronext, the leading pan-European exchange in the Eurozone, today announces the acquisition of 78% of the capital of Commcise, a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) provider of award-winning research evaluation and commission management solutions for financial services firms, from its founders for an initial cash consideration of £27 million. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in London, Commcise offers a unique cloud-based research commission management, evaluation and accounting solution built to meet the needs of asset managers, brokers and independent research providers. Commcise is the only vendor which combines research funding, consumption and accounting into a single fully integrated platform. Commcise currently offers three products:
Commcise’s revenue model is based on recurring software licence fees with a high level of contract renewals driven by the quality of its product and its attention to industry needs. At the end of September 2018, Annual Contract Value (ACV) stood at £3.7 million, more than 6 times the ACV generated in 2016. Already servicing more than 500 customers including some of the world’s largest asset managers, brokers and research providers across Europe, the US and Asia, Commcise’s growth potential is significant both through new targeted clients and cross selling opportunities with existing customers, driven by a strong product pipeline, and the overall market trend for more transparency in research spend. Commcise benefits from regulatory trends led by the enforcement of MiFID II on execution and research unbundling and research valuation, which is driving asset managers to take ownership of their research management process. The acquisition of Commcise reinforces the deployment of the Agility for Growth strategic plan, announced in May 2016, creating more value for Euronext clients, asset managers and broker-dealers by addressing a strong need generated by MiFID II regulation. This investment fits into the €100-150 million envelope allocated for bolt-on acquisitions and is consistent with Euronext’s disciplined M&A strategy. The complete founding team of Commcise will remain in place, continuing to grow the business while benefiting from Euronext’s reach and expertise with asset managers and broker dealers with mid-term liquidity mechanisms. Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said: “The acquisition of Commcise demonstrates our commitment to increasing our value proposition for all our customers. Capitalising on its track record of delivering new value-added services to issuers, Euronext is addressing the needs of the buy-side and sell-side communities with ways of simplifying their business and efficiently managing research procurement and commissioning across the globe. The acquisition is consistent with our disciplined approach to M&A and our Agility for Growth strategic plan, with the goal of serving Euronext’s client base through a broader range of services. “ Amrish Ganatra, Chief Executive Officer of Commcise, said: ”Euronext’s acquisition of a majority stake in Commcise underlines the leading position we have already achieved in our market. The senior management team of Commcise is very excited by the next stage of growth and the opportunities we can realise as part of Euronext. We are fully aligned with Euronext’s strategy of delivering value to customers across the buy-side, sell-side and corporate communities. Euronext already has an impressive eco-system which Commcise will complement to the benefit of the customers of the combined group and a growing set of new business partners.”
