In the 2023 Universal Registration Document issued by Euronext N.V. on 28 March 2024, Euronext has described certain risks and risk factors, whose occurrence could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results. Those risk categories and risk factors can be found in Chapter 2 (pages 57 to 80) of the 2023 Universal Registration Document.
During the first six-months of 2024, these risk categories and risk factors did not substantially change. The Group actively manages all impacts that it is aware of and analyses potential new risks on an ongoing basis.
For the second half-year of 2024, Euronext currently considers the risk categories and risk factors as described in the 2023 Universal Registration Document to be applicable. Additional risks not known to Euronext, or currently believed not to be material, could later turn out to have a material impact on Euronext's business or financial position.

Euronext N.V. ("the Group" or "the Company") is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled at Beursplein 5, 1012 JW Amsterdam in the Netherlands under Chamber of Commerce number 60234520 and is listed at the following Euronext local markets: Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Brussels, Euronext Lisbon and Euronext Paris.
The Group operates securities and derivatives exchanges in Continental Europe, Ireland and Norway. It offers a full range of exchangeand corporate services, including security listings, cash and derivatives trading, and market data dissemination. It combines the Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris exchanges in a highly integrated, cross-border organisation. The Group also operates Interbolsa S.A. (Euronext Securities Porto), Verdipapirsentralen ASA (Euronext Securities Oslo), VP Securities AS (Euronext Securities Copenhagen) and Monte Titoli S.p.A. (Euronext Securities Milan) (respectively the Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish and Italian national Central Securities Depositories (CSDs)) and Cassa di Compensatione e Garanzia S.p.A. (Euronext Clearing), a fully owned Italian multi-asset clearing house.
The Group further owns Euronext FX Inc., a US-based Electronic Communication Network in the spot foreign exchange market, and has majority stakes in i) Nord Pool, a leading power market in Europe offering intraday and day-ahead trading in the physical energy markets, ii) MTS S.p.A., a leading trading platform for European government bonds, and iii) Global Rate Set Systems Ltd., a provider of services to benchmark administrators.
The Group's in-house IT function supports its exchange operations. In addition, the Group provides software licenses as well as IT development, operation and maintenance services to third-party exchanges.
These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issuance by Euronext N.V.'s Supervisory Board on 25 July 2024.
The following significant events and transactions have occurred during the six-months period ended 30 June 2024:
On 31 May 2024, the Group acquired 75% of the share capital of Global Rate Set Systems (GRSS), a provider of services to benchmark administrators. The consideration paid was €46.6 million. The acquisition includes an option to buy the remaining 25% interest as from 2027. For more details on the acquisition, reference is made to Note 6.
On 23 May 2024, the Group sold its 30% interest in associate Advanced Technology Solutions S.p.A. The purchase consideration comprises €0.9 million of cash, a €0.9 million receivable and a contingent receivable that is conditional to future performance levels of ATS. As the carrying amount of the investment amounted to €0.6 million, the Group recognised a €1.2 million gain on sale of associate (see Note 14).
For the determination of fair value of its direct and indirect investments in Euroclear S.A./N.V., the Group applied a weighted approach of the Gordon Growth model and recent observed market transactions, taking into account an illiquidity discount for the limited number of transactions. This valuation method resulted in a total valuation of Euroclear S.A./N.V. of €5.4 billion and to an increase in fair value of Euronext S.A./N.V.'s direct- and indirect investments of €6.5 million as per 30 June 2024. This revaluation was recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (see Note 21).
To simplify the Euronext Group structure, the Group transferred its direct ownership of the shares in Euroclear S.A./N.A. (3.53%), respectively held by Euronext NV (3.34%) and Euronext Dublin (0.19%), to Euronext Brussels on 21 June 2024. As the transaction resulted in a gain for tax purposes, the related deferred tax liability was re-qualified as current tax liability. Accordingly, the tax impacts on historical cumulative changes in value of the investment in Euroclear S.A./N.V., recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, were transferred from the fair value revaluation reserve to retained earnings within equity at an aggregated amount of €32.6 million.
On 17 May 2024, a Long-Term Incentive plan ("LTI 2024") was established under the revised Remuneration Policy that was approved by the AGM in May 2021. The LTI cliff vests after 3 years whereby performance criteria will impact the actual number of shares at vesting date. The share price for this grant at grant date was €89.80 and 205,219 Restricted Stock Units ("RSU's") were granted. The total sharebased payment expense at the vesting date in 2027 is estimated to be €16.8 million. As from the grant date, compensation expense recorded for this LTI 2024 plan amounted to €0.5 million in the income statement for the six months period ended 30 June 2024.

The Group has prepared these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union. These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2023, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union ("EU"). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
The principal accounting policies and critical accounting estimates and judgments applied in the preparation of these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2023, except for (i) the adoption of new and amended standards effective as of 1 January 2024 and (ii) taxes on income in the interim periods which are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings in each tax jurisdiction.
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period, but did not have a material impact on the Group's Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements:
A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2024, which the Group has not applied in preparing these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as of and for the year ended 31 December 2023, the (potential) impact for a number of these new standards and amendments were mentioned. No updates on these mentioned new standards and amendments are to be reported in these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segments are reported in a manner consistent with how the business is operated and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The chief operating decision maker of the Group is the Extended Managing Board. The organisation of the Group reflects the high level of mutualisation of resources across geographies and product lines. Operating results are monitored on a group-wide basis and, accordingly, the Group represents one operating segment and one reportable segment. Operating results reported to the Extended Managing Board are prepared on a measurement basis consistent with the reported Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss.

(h) The Group sold its 30% investment in ATS Advanced Technology Solutions S.p.A. on 23 May 2024 (see Note 14).
(i) LiquidShare S.A. was liquidated in January 2024.
The following acquisitions occurred during the six months period ended 30 June 2024.
On 31 May 2024, the Group acquired 75% of the share capital of Global Rate Set Systems (GRSS), a provider of services to benchmark administrators. The purchase consideration for the 75% stake was \$50.4 million, or €46.6 million. The acquisition includes an option to buy the remaining 25% interest as from 2027.
The Group has acquired GRSS to further diversify and strengthen Euronext's index franchise, positioning the Group as a leading player for calculating and administrating Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) indices. The acquisition contributes to the growth of Euronext's fixed and subscription-based revenue.
Details of the purchase consideration, the preliminary net assets acquired and preliminary goodwill are reflected in the tables below.
Purchase consideration:
| In thousands of euros | Fair Value |
|---|---|
| Cash paid | 46,551 |
| Total purchase consideration | 46,551 |
The preliminary purchase price allocation yielded the following results:

| Net identifiable assets acquired | 5,231 |
| Less: non-controlling interest | (1,308) |
| Add: Goodwill | 42,628 |
| Total purchase consideration | 46,551 |
(a) The valuation of the net identifiable assets acquired had not been completed by the date these interim financial statements were authorised for issuance by Euronext N.V.'s Supervisory Board, as the transaction was closed shortly before the reporting date. Therefore, all line items except for 'cash and cash equivalents' are subject to subsequent fair value adjustments, with a corresponding adjustment in Goodwill, within the one year measurement period after acquisition.
The goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies and other benefits from combining the assets and activities of GRSS, with those of the Group. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. See Note 17 for the changes in goodwill as a result from the acquisition.
The fair value of trade and other receivables was €0.5 million, and included €0.1 million of trade receivables, which is not materially different to the gross contractual amount. None of the trade receivables have been impaired and it is expected that the full contractual amounts can be collected.
The Group has chosen to recognise the non-controlling interest at the proportionate share of the net assets acquired. As such, noncontrolling interest on acquisition amounted to €1.3 million (25% of €5.2 million).
From the date of the acquisition, GRSS has contributed €0.7 million of revenue and €0.3 million of net profit to the Group. If the acquisition would have occurred on 1 January 2024, consolidated revenue and consolidated net profit (attributable to the shareholders of the Company) for the six months ended 30 June 2024 would have been €793.1.million and €283.6 million respectively.

| Included in cash flow from investing activities | (38,456) |
| Net cash flow on acquisition | (39,649) |
Acquisition related costs of €1.2 million were expensed and recognised in 'non-underlying' other operational expenses.

In the period from 30 June 2027 to 30 July 2028, the Group has the right to acquire all of the remaining shares of the other minority shareholders. This right to acquire the remaining 25% minority stake by the Group meets the definition of a derivative financial instrument (call option). Since the exercise price (normalized EBITDA x multiple) is best proxy for fair value, the value of this call option is zero at initial recognition (i.e. the strike price equals the price of the underlying). The Group will continue to monitor this instrument over its lifetime and will recognise any future change in value through profit or loss.
In addition, during that same period, if the minority shares are sold to a third party, the Group has the obligation to compensate for any variance between the exercise price and a lower actual third party price offered. Whenever the value of the expected exercise price is lower than fair value, a negative value for the option will be recorded.
Substantially all of the Group's revenues are considered to be revenues from contracts with customers.
The Group's power trading revenue is closely correlated to seasonal fluctuations caused by higher energy demands in winter versus lower energy demands in summer. The Group's other revenue streams are not subject to significant seasonality patterns, except that there are generally lower trading volumes and listing admissions during the summer period. Trading volumes are subject to market volatility.
Set out below is the disaggregation of the Group's revenue from contracts with customers for the six months ended 30 June:

Income recognised in the CCP clearing business executed by Euronext Clearing includes net treasury income earned on margin and default funds, held as part of the risk management process.
For the six months period ended 30 June 2024, net treasury income through CCP business amounted to €25.5 million and is the result of gross interest income of €423.9 million, less interests paid on clearing members' margin and default fund as treasury expense, which amounted to €398.4 million (see Note 21.2.6). In a context of positive interest rates, the Group realized total interest earnings from Central Bank and LCH deposits of €422.2 million and a net treasury income from financial assets of €1.7 million.
Other income generally consists of income that is earned from non-operating activities. In addition, the comparative period included transitional income from services provided by Borsa Italiana Group to London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to facilitate the transition of ownership following the acquisition of Borsa Italiana Group.
Transitional Service Agreements ("TSAs") were established, providing for temporary services rendered to or received from LSEG. Each individual service was priced separately, generally on a fixed fee basis, based on actual usage or mutually agreed service levels. The agreements were established on arm's length basis.
Services rendered to LSEG primarily included technology and various ancillary services. All such services to LSEG were transitional and, accordingly, the related income from LSEG phased out during the first six months of 2023.
Expenses for services received from LSEG under these agreements were recognised in other operational expenses (see Note 10). These services were phased out after the migration of Borsa Italiana Group to Euronext trading platform Optiq® was completed during the first six months of 2024.

(a) Clearing expenses consist of the fees paid to LCH SA for services received under the Derivatives Clearing Agreement.
(b) Other expenses include marketing, taxes, insurance, travel, professional membership fees, corporate management and other expenses.
Underlying other operational expenses include expenses for services received from LSEG under the TSA agreements, which include the use of operational systems and infrastructure, as well as certain market data, hosting, connectivity and other services. The services received from LSEG were phased out after the migration of Borsa Italiana Group to Euronext trading platform Optiq® was completed during the first half of 2024. For the six months period ended 30 June 2024, approximately €0.6 million of transitional costs were recognised (for the six months period ended 30 June 2023, approximately €2.8 million).
In the comparative period, Non-underlying other operational expenses primarily comprised (i) the termination and migration fees of approximately €36.0 million related to the termination of the Derivatives Clearing Agreement with LCH S.A., (ii) cost incurred to integrate the Borsa Italiana Group activities with those of the Group and (iii) costs related to acquisitions that change the perimeter of the Group (see Note 11).

| Dividend income | — | 5,089 |
| Total | — | 5,089 |
During the six months period ended 30 June 2024, no dividends were received from Euroclear S.A./N.V. or Sicovam Holding S.A. During the comparative period, only dividends were received from Sicovam Holding S.A.
On 23 May 2024, the Group sold its 30% interest in associate Advanced Technology Solutions S.p.A. The purchase consideration comprises €0.9 million of cash, a €0.9 million receivable and a contingent receivable that is conditional to future performance levels of ATS. As the carrying amount of the investment amounted to €0.6 million, the Group recognised a €1.2 million gain on sale of associate.
The comparative period included a settlement payment of €0.2 million related to the finalisation of the sale of MTS Markets International Inc. at end of 2022.
The above gain and loss are reflected as non-underlying item in the condensed interim consolidated statement of profit or loss (see Note 11).
Generally, the share of net profit /(loss) of associates and joint ventures was contributed by associate LCH SA. As the Group sold its 11.1% interest in LCH SA on 6 July 2023, only the comparative period included a material share of net profit /(loss) of associates and joint ventures of for €6.6 million.
Income tax expense for the interim period is recognised by reference to management's estimate of the weighted average income tax rate expected for the full fiscal year, with the exception of discrete "one-off" items which are recorded in full in the interim period.

18
The underlying effective tax rate increased from 25.0% for the six months ended 30 June 2023 to 26.8% for the six months ended 30 June 2024.
The total effective tax rate increased from 24.6% for the six months ended 30 June 2023 to 26.9% for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The increase in effective tax rate is largely explained due to a one-off tax benefit resulting from goodwill step up in Italy as well as the receipt of non-taxable dividends (Sicovam Holding S.A.) and profits from associate LCH S.A. in H1 2023, that were all not received in H1 2024.

(a) The weighted average number of shares takes into account the weighted average effect of changes in treasury shares during the year.
The impact of share plans is determined by the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average quarterly market price of Euronext's shares) based on the fair value (measured in accordance with IFRS 2) of any services to be supplied to Euronext in the future under these plans. There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares between the reporting date and the date of authorisation of these financial statements.

(a) The Senior Unsecured Note #1 is carried at amortised cost and was adjusted for fair value movements due to the hedged interest rate risk until 3 May 2022.
On 3 May 2022, the Group terminated its interest rate swap agreements which were formally designated and qualified as fair value hedges of Senior Unsecured Note #1. On termination, the Group cash settled the swap agreements and the hedge relationship was discontinued.
As from the moment of discontinuation of the fair value hedge, the accumulated fair value adjustments of Senior Unsecured Note #1 will be amortised to profit or loss based on a recalculated Effective Interest Rate over the remaining term of Senior Unsecured Note #1. The accumulated fair value adjustments amounted to a negative €2.1 million as per 30 June 2024 (€3.3 million as per 31 December 2023).
As the Senior Unsecured Note #1 will mature in April 2025, it was transferred to current borrowings in the first half-year of 2024.

Concerning the valuation process for fair value measurement categorised within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Group's central treasury department collects and validates the available level 3 inputs and performs the valuation according to the Group's valuation methodology for each reporting period. The fair value estimates are discussed with-, and challenged by the Group Finance Director and the Chief Financial Officer. Periodically the values of investments categorized in "level 3" are validated by staff with extensive knowledge of the industry in which the invested companies operate. Although valuation techniques are applied consistently as a principle, Management, upon advice from the Group's valuation experts, may decide to replace a valuation technique if such a change would improve the quality or the reliability of the valuation process.
For measuring fair value of its long-term investments in unlisted equity securities in Euroclear S.A/N.V. and Sicovam Holding S.A., the Group applied a weighted approach, using both the Gordon Growth Model (with return on equity and expected dividend growth rate as key non-observable parameters) and recent observed market transactions taking into account an illiquidity discount for the limited number of transactions. In addition, for measuring the fair value of Sicovam Holding S.A, the Group applied an illiquidity discount as an unobservable input for which a sensitivity impact of +10%/(-10%) would amount to a decrease or (increase) of €8.3 million in the fair value (2023: €8.2 million).
The key assumptions used in the Gordon Growth Model valuation model are shown in the tables below. The sensitivity analysis shows the impact on fair value using the most favorable combination (increase), or least favorable combination (decrease) of the unobservable inputs per investment in unlisted equity securities.

The Group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. For these instruments the fair values approximate their carrying amounts, except for non-current borrowings which fair value amounts to €2,658 million as per 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: €2,683 million).
As per 30 June 2024, trade and other receivables included €36.1 million (31 December 2023: €76.9 million) of Nord Pool power sales positions and trade and other payables included €60.7 million (31 December 2023: €118.3 million) of Nord Pool power purchases positions. The decrease is the result of lower energy prices at end of June 2024.
For the six months period ended 30 June 2024, net treasury income from CCP clearing business is earned from instruments held at amortised cost or fair value as follows:
CCP clearing business financial assets and liabilities are offset and only the net amount is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The following tables show the offsetting breakdown by products:

Credit risk
In its role as CCP clearer to financial market participants, the Group's CCP guarantees final settlement of transactions acting as buyer towards each seller and as seller towards each buyer. It manages substantial credit risks as part of its operations including unmatched risk positions that might arise from the default of a party to a cleared transaction.
Clearing membership selection is based upon supervisory capital, technical and organisational criteria. Each member must pay margins, computed and collected at least daily, to cover the exposures and theoretical costs which the CCP might incur in order to close out open positions in the event of the member's default. Margins are calculated using established and internationally acknowledged risk models and are debited from participants' accounts through central bank accounts and via commercial bank payment systems. Minimum levels of cash collateral are required. Non-cash collateral is revalued daily but the members retain title of the asset and the Group only has a claim on these assets in the event of a default by the member.
Clearing members also contribute to default funds managed by the CCP to guarantee the integrity of the markets in the event of multiple defaults in extreme market circumstances. Amounts are determined on the basis of the results of periodic stress testing examined by the risk committees of the CCP. Furthermore, the Group's CCP reinforces its capital position to meet the most stringent relevant regulatory requirements applicable to it, including holding a minimum amount of dedicated own resources to further underpin the protective credit risk framework in the event of a significant market stress event or participant failure.
An analysis of the aggregate clearing member contributions of margin and default funds across the CCP is shown below:
| In thousands of euros | 30 June 2024 | 31 December 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Total collateral pledged | ||
| Margin received in cash | 14,202,800 | 15,381,233 |
| Margin received by title transfer | 1,153,792 | 987,595 |
| Default fund total | 5,384,196 | 5,154,917 |
| Total collateral on the statement of financial position (a) | 20,740,788 | 21,523,745 |
| Total member collateral pledged | 20,740,788 | 21,523,745 |
(a) The counterbalance of the total collateral on the statement of financial position is included in the line 'other payables to clearing members' in the table at Note 21.1
Investment counterparty risk for CCP margin and default funds is managed by investing the cash element in instruments or structures deemed 'secure', including through direct investments in highly rated, 'regulatory qualifying' sovereign bonds and supra-national debt, investments in tri-party and bilateral reverse repos (receiving high-quality government securities as collateral) in certain jurisdictions and deposits with the central bank of Italy. As per June 2024 the margin and default funds were mainly deposited with the Central Bank of Italy. The small proportion of cash that is invested unsecured is placed for short durations with highly rated counterparties where strict limits are applied with respect to credit quality, concentration and tenor.

| Clearing member cash - other banks | 1,736 | 2,001 |
| Total clearing member cash (b) | 13,819,326 | 15,995,132 |
(a) The CCP other financial assets are included in the line 'Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income' in the table at Note 21.1. (b) The total clearing member cash is included in the line 'Cash and cash equivalents of clearing members'' in the table at Note 21.1.
Distress can result from the risk that certain governments may be unable or find it difficult to service their debts. This could have adverse effects, particularly on the Group's CCP, potentially impacting cleared products, margin collateral, investments, the clearing membership and the financial industry as a whole.
Specific risk frameworks manage country risk for both fixed income clearing and margin collateral and all clearing members' portfolios are monitored regularly against a suite of sovereign stress scenarios. Investment limits and counterparty and clearing membership monitoring are sensitive to changes in ratings and other financial market indicators, to ensure the Group's CCP is able to measure, monitor and mitigate exposures to sovereign risk and respond quickly to anticipated changes. Risk Committees maintain an ongoing watch over these risks and the associated policy frameworks to protect the Group against potentially severe volatility in the sovereign debt markets.
The Group's CCP sovereign exposures at the end of the financial reporting period were:
| In thousands of euros | 30 June 2024 | 31 December 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sovereign investments | |||
| Italy | 30,660 | 14,899 | |

| Netherlands | — | — | |
| Belgium | 16,788 | 28,857 | |
| Total for all countries (b) | 85,181 | 126,370 |
(a) 'EU Central' consists of supra-national debts.
(b) The total sovereign investments include the investment portfolio of CCP clearing business assets as disclosed in the line 'Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income' in the table at Note 21.1.
The Group's CCP must maintain a level of liquidity (consistent with regulatory requirements) to ensure the smooth operation of its respective markets and to maintain operations in the event of a single or multiple market stress event or member failure. This includes the potential requirement to liquidate the position of a clearing member under a default scenario including covering the associated losses and the settlement obligations of the defaulting member.
The Group's CCP maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents and has access to intraday central bank refinancing (collateralized with ECB eligible bonds) along with commercial bank credit lines to meet in a timely manner its payment obligations. As at 30 June 2024, the Group's CCP had €440 million credit lines granted by commercial banks serving as liquid recourse to mitigate liquidity risks according to EMIR regulation. None of the credit lines had been used as of 30 June 2024.
Revised regulations requires the CCP to ensure that appropriate levels of back-up liquidity are in place to underpin the dynamics of a largely secured cash investment requirement, ensuring that the maximum potential outflow under extreme market conditions is covered (see credit risk section). The Group's CCP monitors its liquidity needs daily under normal and stressed market conditions. Where possible, the Group employs guaranteed delivery versus payment settlement techniques and manages CCP margin and default fund flows through central bank or long-established, bespoke commercial bank settlement mechanisms. Monies due from clearing members remain the clearing members' liability if the payment agent is unable to effect the appropriate transfer. In addition, the Group's CCP maintains operational facilities with commercial banks to manage intraday and overnight liquidity.
In line with the investment policy and the regulatory requirements, the Group's CCP has deposited the default funds and margin mainly at the Central Bank of Italy as per 30 June 2024. The default funds and margin were partially invested in government bonds, with an

average maturity of below 12 months, as per 30 June 2024. Even though these financial assets are generally held to maturity, a forced liquidation of the investment portfolio could lead to losses and lack of required liquidity.

The Group's CCP faces interest rate exposure through the impact of changes in the reference rates used to calculate member liabilities versus the yields achieved through their predominantly secured investment activities.
In the Group's CCP, interest bearing assets are generally invested in secured instruments or structures and for a longer term than interest bearing liabilities, whose interest rate is reset daily. This makes investment revenue vulnerable to volatility in overnight rates and shifts in spreads between overnight and term rates. On daily basis the interest rate risk associated to investments is monitored via capital requirements.
The Group's CCP has an investment policy, mitigating market risks. The Group's CCP investments have an average duration of around one year and are generally held until maturity. Losses will not materialise unless the investment portfolio is liquidated before maturity or in an event of portfolio rebalancing before maturity. In case of a forced liquidation of the CCP's financial investment portfolio before maturity to provide necessary liquidity, the CCP may face higher interest rate exposure on its financial investment portfolio. The interest rate exposure of the investment portfolio is predominantly at fixed rates (only a negligible part is at floating rates) at the amounts and maturities as disclosed at Liquidity risk above. As per 30 June 2024, an increase/decrease of the rate by 100 basis points would have an increasing/decreasing impact on the investment portfolio market value of €0.4 million or 0.22%.
The Group has related party relationships with its associates, joint ventures and key management personnel. The nature of the related party transactions did not significantly deviate from the nature of transactions as reflected in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023. Transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation. The interests in group companies are set out in Note 5.
During the first six months of 2024, the following mutations in the Group's key management personnel have occurred:
On 15 May 2024, at the Annual General Meeting, Simon Gallagher was appointed as Member of the Managing Board of Euronext N.V. with immediate effect. On 18 June 2024, the Group announced that Simone Huis in 't Veld decided to resign as CEO of Euronext Amsterdam and as Member of the Managing Board of Euronext N.V., with effect from 1 September 2024. Rene van Vlerken was nominated as her successor, pending shareholders' and regulatory approvals.
On 15 May 2024, at the Annual General Meeting, Manuel Ferreira da Silva, Diana Chan and Rika Coppens retired as Members of the Supervisory Board of Euronext N.V., with immediate effect. At that same meeting, Fedra Ribeiro, Muriel De Lathouwer and Koen Van Loo were appointed as Members of the Supervisory Board of Euronext N.V., with effect from the date on which regulatory approval will be granted.
With the exception of the above, there were no other changes in key management personnel during the six months period ended 30 June 2024. Other arrangements with key management have remained consistent since 31 December 2023.
The Group is involved in a number of legal proceedings or activities in the ordinary course of Euronext's business where risks have arisen which are not reflected in whole or in part in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Set out below are the legal proceedings that had changes in status, compared to what has been reported in Note 38 "Contingencies" of the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
In the court case between Euronext Amsterdam and approximately 120 retired and/or former Euronext Amsterdam employees, united in an association ("VPGE"), the Higher Court released its final verdict on 9 Jul 2024. In its final verdict, the Higher Court has ruled in favor of Euronext on all grounds.
On 23 November 2023, an incorrect sales order was submitted by a market participant to Nord Pool AS, resulting in a negative energy price for the day-ahead market in the Finnish bidding zone, creating a significant loss for the market participant. Market participants are contractually responsible for the submission of their orders.
On 3 June 2024, a claim letter was received from the market participant for financial restitution and damages in connection to the trading in the day-ahead market in the Finnish bidding zone on 23 November 2023. The Group identified the claim as a contingent liability, but deems an obligation resulting in the outflow of resources following this incident not likely. No provision has been recognised in connection with this case.
No event occurred between 30 June 2024 and the date of this report that could have a material impact on the decisions made based on these condensed interim financial statements.

The Company Management hereby declares that to the best of its knowledge:
Amsterdam, 25 July 2024
Stéphane Boujnah Giorgio Modica Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board Chief Financial Officer

To: the Shareholders and Supervisory Board of Euronext N.V.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2024 and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 of Euronext N.V. (or hereafter: the "Company") based in Amsterdam. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as endorsed by the European Union.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise of:
We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standard 2410, 'Het beoordelen van tussentijdse financiële informatie door de accountant van de entiteit' (Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity). A review of interim financial information in accordance with the Dutch Standard 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the 'Our responsibilities for the review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements' section of our report.
We are independent of Euronext N.V. in accordance with the Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assuranceopdrachten (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore we have complied with the Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).
We believe the assurance evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
The Managing Board is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as endorsed by the European Union. Furthermore, the Managing Board is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the review in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate assurance evidence for our conclusion.
The level of assurance obtained in a review engagement is substantially less than the level of assurance obtained in an audit conducted in accordance with the Dutch Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the review, in accordance with Dutch Standard 2410.
