NYSE Euronext announced on May 23, 2013 the opening of EnterNext, a new subsidiary dedicated to companies that have a capitalisation of under €1 billion, which already covers over 750 SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) listed on the regulated market of NYSE Euronext and on NYSE Alternext.
Although it is not a new market segment, and may not be compared to the London Stock Exchange’s AIM (Alternative Investment Market) for instance, 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:
Governance
EnterNext has adopted an open governance structure, with a 15-member Board of Directors headed by a newly appointed Chairman and CEO. The remaining 14 seats will be divided equally between qualified external Directors and NYSE Euronext nominees. Candidates have been selected from the four countries in which the group operates in Europe, based on their experience and expertise with SMEs.
The appointed Chairman and CEO of Enternext is Eric Forest, current head of Oddo Corporate Finance’s Equity Capital Market business. He is also in charge of Corporate Broking activities at Oddo Corporate Finance.
