AMF: Statement on proposed Euronext and NYSE combination

05 December 2006

The Chairmen’s Committee of the Euronext regulators confirmed that it is not objecting the proposed combination of Euronext and the NYSE. However, the final prior approval decision will be conditional to, and dependent on, the regulators receiving satisfactory assurances/commitments in specific areas and agreement on final documentation.

The Euronext regulators are also finalising a draft Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission. This MoU will be signed if and when the proposed combination receives the required approvals from competent authorities, and the Offer is declared unconditional.
