“EURONEXT ATHENS” (the “Company” or the “Spun-off Entity”) announces to the investing public that, at the meeting of its Board of Directors on July 1, 2026, it was decided to initiate the process of demerging the Company through the spin-off of the “Market Operator” business segment, which pertains to the operation of regulated securities and derivatives markets, as well as the Multilateral Trading Facility, and the management thereof (the “Division”), as currently exercised by the Company in its capacity as market operator, through its absorption by the public limited company under the name “EURONEXT ATHENS SINGLE-MEMBER S.A.”, which has been established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Beneficiary”), in accordance with the provisions of Articles 54, 57(2), 58–73, 83–87 of Law 4601/2019 and Law 4548/2018, in conjunction with Law 5162/2024 (Part D, Articles 47–59), (the “Demerger”).
The Beneficiary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
As part of the Spin-off, the Company will contribute the aforementioned business segment to the Beneficiary in exchange for the issuance of shares of the Beneficiary to the Company. Nevertheless, the Company will retain activities and assets that do not pertain to the (spun-off) business but are related to its status as a publicly traded company.
The Company will retain its investor relations and investor information services, share registry services, as well as the internal audit services required by regulations and institutional provisions.
The Company will also retain its equity interests in other companies in accordance with current provisions.
The completion of the Spin-off is subject to the receipt of all required corporate, regulatory, and other approvals, including, where applicable, the approvals of the competent corporate bodies of the Company and the Beneficiary, the completion of the required publications and registrations with the General Commercial Registry (GEMI), as well as the receipt of any required approvals or permits from the competent supervisory authorities.
The Company will inform the investing public, in accordance with applicable law, of any material developments regarding the Demerger process.
