4 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
On 14 January 2019, Euronext launched an all-cash tender offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Oslo Børs VPS Holding ASA ("Oslo Børs VPS"). The original offer price of NOK145 per share, ie NOK6.24 billion (€625 million1 ) for all outstanding shares of Oslo Børs VPS, has been amended to NOK158 per share, ie. NOK6.79 billion (€695 million2 ) on 11 February 2019 and the acceptance period will expire on 11 March 2019 and can be extended as appropriate. The offer remains subject to conditions presented in the offer document3 and in the press release published on 11 February 20193 . This transaction would follow Euronext's recent acquisition of Euronext Dublin (formerly the Irish Stock Exchange) and would represent another key milestone in the delivery of the group's vision to build a consistent pan-European marketplace offering best-in-class capital markets services.
In 2018, Euronext has extended its scope of activity both organically and through acquisitions. Furthermore, most of the core business 2019 targets of the Agility for Growth plan have been achieved one year in advance. To simplify and improve the tracking of its performance, Euronext will now report only group performance (including selected growth initiatives and new perimeter). New midterm targets will be presented in H2 2019 as a part of the new strategic plan. In 2019, Euronext expects to limit the growth rate of its operating costs to a low single digit4 , despite the consolidation of Euronext Dublin for the full year of 20195 .
Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said:
"Euronext delivered a strong financial performance in 2018 with double digit growth in revenue, EBITDA and adjusted EPS thanks to strengthened core business and market share on cash trading at 66%. Combined with efforts on cost, Euronext was able to reach most of its 2019 targets one year in advance, confirming the Q3 2018 momentum, with a core business and selected growth initiatives EBITDA margin reaching 61.6%. In 2018, Euronext successfully welcomed Euronext Dublin teams within the Group and achieved the migration of Irish markets to Optiq trading platform early February 2019, seven months after its transition for the Group cash markets. Euronext is pursuing its European strategy with the project to acquire Oslo Børs VPS, to reach another milestone in its value creation strategy and to fulfill its mission to finance the real economy in Europe. The Group is committed to deploy its capital and to analyze further acquisitions to expand its decentralized model in Europe and diversify its revenue profile.
Euronext Group has transformed itself in the past three years, with a top line growing by around €100m thanks to combined organic and external growth. In order to fully reflect the new Group, and given that most of the 2019 announced core business targets were met one year in advance, Euronext provides a costs guidance for 2019, prior to the release of its new strategic plan later this year, that will better help our stakeholders to assess its performance. For 2019, Euronext expects a low-single digit growth of Group operating expenses (excluding D&A) compared to 2018, thanks to its continued strong cost discipline."
5 For 2018, Euronext Dublin costs were only consolidated for 3 quarters. As a reminder, the operating costs for Euronext Dublin for Q1 2018 were €5.8m

Euronext Technologies & Other revenue increased by +7.8% in 2018, to €36.1 million as the activity continued to benefit from Optiq® project work on commercial releases for international clients, as well as an increased activity in Managed Services solutions and in SFTI/Colocation services.

On 20 December 2018, Euronext announced the acquisition of 78% of the capital of Commcise, a Software as a Service ("SaaS") provider of award-winning research evaluation and commission management solutions for financial services firms, from its founders for an initial cash consideration of £27 million.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in London, with offices in New York and Bangalore, Commcise offers a unique cloud-based research commission management, evaluation and accounting solution built to meet the needs of asset managers, brokers and independent research providers.
Commcise is the only vendor which combines research funding, consumption and accounting into a single fully integrated platform. Commcise currently offers three products:
Commcise's revenue model is based on recurring software licence fees with a high level of contract renewals driven by the quality of its product and its attention to industry needs. At the end of September 2018, Annual Contract Value (ACV) stood at £3.7 million, more than 6 times the ACV generated in 2016.
Already servicing more than 500 customers including some of the world's largest asset managers, brokers and research providers across Europe, the US and Asia, Commcise's growth potential is significant both through new targeted clients and cross selling opportunities with existing customers, driven by a strong product pipeline, and the overall market trend for more transparency in research spend. Commcise benefits from regulatory trends led by the enforcement of MiFID II on execution and research unbundling and research valuation, which is driving asset managers to take ownership of their research management process.
The acquisition of Commcise reinforces the deployment of the Agility for Growth strategic plan, announced in May 2016, creating more value for Euronext clients, asset managers and broker-dealers by addressing a strong need generated by MiFID II regulation. This investment fits into the €100-150 million envelope allocated for bolt-on acquisitions and is consistent with Euronext's disciplined M&A strategy.
The complete founding team of Commcise will remain in place, continuing to grow the business while benefiting from Euronext's reach and expertise with asset managers and broker dealers with mid-term liquidity mechanisms.

Nicolas Rivard is charged with bringing together Euronext's broad data capabilities to drive a new strategy that will better organise and monetise its ever increasing dataset and accelerate growth of Euronext index franchise. He will leverage innovation and new technology development to deliver value to our clients and partners.

On 24 December 2018, Euronext announced it had approached the Board of Directors of Oslo Børs VPS Holding ASA ("Oslo Børs VPS") to seek its support for a €625m cash tender offer for all the outstanding shares of Oslo Børs VPS, the Norwegian Stock Exchange and national CSD operator, headquartered in Oslo. On 14 January 2019, Euronext published the offer document for its previously announced all-cash tender offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Oslo Børs VPS for NOK 6.24 billion (€625m1 ). The offer document is available on Euronext's website, www.euronext.com2 .
Following an invitation to consider an acquisition of shares in Oslo Børs VPS organized by a group of its shareholders, Euronext has already secured support for the offer from Oslo Børs VPS shareholders representing 50.5% of the total number of outstanding shares through irrevocable binding pre-commitments to tender shares in the context of the offer (45.2%), and share purchases(5.3%). These irrevocable undertakings remain valid regardless of any competing offer that has been or may be made in the context of this transaction until 31 August 2019. In addition, 22 shareholders decided to strengthen their commitment to support Euronext's Offer by extending the deadline for their irrevocable pre-commitments to the end of December 2019. Together with Euronext, as of 11 February 2019, these shareholders already represent around 38% of the share capital.
The original offer price of NOK145 per share, ie NOK6.24 billion (€625m3 ) for all outstanding shares of Oslo Børs VPS, has been amended to NOK158 per share, ie. NOK6.79 billion (€695 million4 ) on 11 February 2019, in order to demonstrate its willingness to share the benefits of this transaction with Oslo Børs VPS shareholders, the majority of whom supports Euronext's offer and to continue the dialogue with the minority of Oslo Børs VPS' shareholders who have not yet committed their shares to Euronext. The acceptance period of the tender offer commenced on 14 January 2019, will expire on 11 March 2019 and can be extended as appropriate.
The offer is subject to fulfilment or waiver of certain conditions, including but not limited to minimum acceptance level of at least 50.01 % of Oslo Børs VPS outstanding shares (including shares already held by Euronext), condition which is already met, regulatory approvals, short confirmatory due diligence, a favourable vote from a majority of Euronext shareholders and completion of the transaction before 31 December 2019.
Euronext submitted its suitability application to Finanstilsynet concurrently to the launch of its Offer and has regular dialogue with all relevant parties. Euronext is authorised to operate regulated markets in Belgium, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom, and believes that its strategic ambition would preserve and strengthen the Norwegian financial market ecosystem.
Euronext is confident that the transaction can be completed during the course of Q2 2019 within the customary regulatory approval period in Norway according to applicable laws and regulations.
Euronext is determined to acquire Oslo Børs VPS and remains committed to a constructive and continuous dialogue with Oslo Børs VPS shareholders, Board and management as well as the wider Norwegian ecosystem. Euronext's Reference Shareholders have also confirmed their joint support to Euronext for this transaction.
Euronext aims to leverage Oslo Børs VPS's strong domestic position and international excellences to support its ambitions to become a leading market infrastructure in the Nordics. Euronext's ambition is to work together with all market participants to deliver a more competitive, innovative and dynamic Oslo Børs VPS for the benefit of its clients, its employees and the wider Norwegian financial community.
Euronext is a family of six local exchanges in Europe with the technology, the financial means and the resources needed to power the capital markets financing the real economy. Continuity, local governance and decentralised decision-making are the key principles of Euronext's model, as demonstrated by the Irish Stock Exchange joining the Euronext family in 2018.
Euronext's decentralised model will allow Oslo Børs VPS to preserve its local footprint, management and vibrant local market, and to support its ambitions by leveraging the strengths of an agile European exchange Group.

Euronext notes that the Board of Oslo Børs VPS decided and announced on 4 February 2019 to irrevocably support a competing offer, regardless of terms, and has not indicated at any point to Euronext that it would welcome a revised offer. Euronext has however been encouraged by widespread support for its project for Oslo Børs VPS following dialogue with a large number of relevant market participants in Norway, and remains keen to continue engaging with all key stakeholders in Oslo Børs VPS, including its management, board of directors and the local financial ecosystem.
