Elsewhere, Euronext shareholders unanimously voted in favour of its Borsa Italiana acquisition from the London Stock Exchange Group which took place on 20 November.
It was acquired for just over €4.3 billion as part of Euronext’s long-term strategy of becoming a pan-European market infrastructure powerhouse.
The Milan-based bourse, which is Italy's only exchange, earned €464 million revenue last year and Euronext hopes it will “play a key role in the future operations, strategy and governance” of its expanded group, as its largest revenue contributor.
