Euronext has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) as suitable for a potential acquisition of a qualifying holding in the Hellenic Exchanges.
The acquisition will include the Athens Stock Exchange (ATHEX) and its subsidiaries, the Athens Exchange Clearing house and Hellenic Central Securities Depository.
Euronext first proposed a voluntary exchange offer in the Hellenic Exchanges in October this year, after receiving regulatory clearance in Greece. The acquisition process became simplified when the HCMC introduced a more flexible framework for assessing major shareholders in key financial infrastructures.
Euronext reveals in a press release that the HCMC’s approval satisfies all conditions on the tender offer. The offer is now no longer subject to further regulatory approval and is unconditional.
The results of the tender offer will be announced on 19 November 2025.
