“EURONEXT ATHENS” (the “Company” or the “Demerging Company”), announces to the investing public that, at the meeting of its Board of Directors on 1 July 2026, it was decided to initiate the process for the demerger of the Company through the spin-off of the “Market Operator” sector concerning the operation of the regulated securities and derivatives markets, as well as the Multilateral Trading Facility and their management (the “Sector”), as currently carried out by the Company in its capacity as market operator, through its absorption by the société anonyme under the corporate name “EURONEXT ATHENS SINGLE-MEMBER S.A.”, which has been established as a 100% subsidiary of the Company (the “Beneficiary”), in accordance with the provisions of articles 54, 57 para. 2, 58-73, 83-87 of Law 4601/2019, Law 4548/2018 in conjunction with Law 5162/2024 (Part D’, articles 47-59), (the “Demerger”).
The Beneficiary is a 100% subsidiary of the Company.
In the context of the Demerger, the Company will contribute the above sector to the Beneficiary, in exchange for the issuance of shares of the Beneficiary in favor of the Company. Nevertheless, the Company will retain activities and assets that do not concern the (spun-off) activity but are related to its capacity as a listed company.
The Company will retain investor information and investor relations services, share registry maintenance services, as well as the internal audit services required by regulations and the institutional framework.
The Company will also retain its participations in other companies in accordance with what applies today.
