Euronext lowers its IPO price

Euro bourse prepares to go public...

NEWS Euronext, formed by the merger of the Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris stock exchanges, yesterday set its floatation price in a move which sees it raise E400m (£238m). Pricing itself at the bottom of a E24 to E27 (£14 to $16) price range, the IPO means the company will be valued at E2.8bn (£1.7bn)when trading starts today, on its own exchange. It is now likely to court other European exchanges, with funds available for acquisitions, if necessary.
