Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Paris 23 May 2013 – NYSE Euronext (NYX) today announced the opening of EnterNext®, its marketplace for SMEs. This new subsidiary is dedicated to companies that have a capitalisation of under €1 billion and already covers over 750 SMEs listed on the regulated market of NYSE Euronext and on NYSE Alternext. With a bold strategy and a NYSE Euronext proven capacity to deliver, EnterNext®  has been designed  to facilitate the  financing requirements and  development of European SMEs that operate regionally, nationally and internationally.

Missions

EnterNext® has its own substantial resources and the full support of the NYSE Euronext group. Whilst working closely with regional economies, it has been  designed to operate on a pan-European basis.

Backed by its own teams and financial resources, EnterNext®will build upon  NYSE Euronext’s efficient market model. The new subsidiary  promotes and facilitates all offers and services currently available to SMEs and its responsibilities amongst others include:

  • Positioning the stock exchange as a source for alternative financing
  • Managing the day-to-day and grassroots relationships with issuers and listing candidates
  • Promoting SMEs to investors as an attractive asset class
  • Developing a regional and national marketing strategy
  • Defining and promoting new services and financing options such as the Initial Bond

The remaining 14 seats will be divided equally between qualified external Directors and NYSE Euronext. Candidates have been selected from the four countries in which the group operates in Europe, based on their experience and expertise with SMEs.

Working groups  across Europe have lent their support to this new marketplace. EnterNext ®believes in entrepreneurs, it brings their aspirations to life by supporting them with the resources they need to grow, and it lends fresh momentum to  entrepreneurial initiatives.
