E-commerce industries, with an established network of specialised consultants and operators trained and prepared to offer advice and savings.

The switching economy’s turnover is worth €250 billion annually in Italy alone, €2,000 billion in Europe and over €6,000 worldwide. In 2013, as many as 63% of Italians changed at least one provider.

MyBest Group’s listing is consistent with Euronext’s strategy to assist Tech companies in developing their businesses on a larger scale through capital markets. Euronext is the primary venue for Tech SMEs in Europe with nearly 350 issuers, representing a total market capitalisation close to €70 billion, and over 750 active tech investors.

The €2 million bond issued in 2015 was converted with a 30% discount on the listing price and a 12-month lock-up period.

The €3 million bond issued in 2017 was converted with a 15% discount on the listing price and without a lock-up period.

Fabio Regolo, CEO of MyBest Group, said: “We are proud to reach a new milestone for the company. By joining Euronext Growth, MyBest Group will improve its visibility and multiply the possibilities to develop its business in Europe, and allow Italian customers to switch their utilities providers taking advantage of the upcoming market liberalisation. The success of this operation is a step towards meeting new challenges for the group.”
