ANTHONY ATTIA APPOINTED ASX MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CEO

ASX Limited today announces the appointment of Anthony Attia as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective from 1 September 2026.¹

Mr Attia brings close to three decades of exchange experience spanning both European and US jurisdictions. Having held senior leadership roles at Euronext, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and NYSE Euronext, Mr Attia's experience spans the full value chain of exchange operations – from primary markets and listing franchises to post-trade services including clearing, custody and settlement – positioning him well to lead a complex, integrated exchange.

ASX Chair David Clarke said: "Following a comprehensive global search process, the Board is delighted to appoint someone of Anthony's calibre. He brings deep exchange experience coupled with a proven track record of technology-enabled transformation and a clear understanding of the responsibilities that come with leading critical market infrastructure. I am confident he will build on the momentum at ASX and support the next stage of our transformation."

As Chief Executive Officer of Euronext Paris and a member of the Managing Board of Euronext from 2014 to 2021, and most recently as Euronext Global Head of Derivatives and Post Trade, Mr Attia has built a distinguished track record of leadership across global capital markets. He has led major strategic and growth initiatives while developing strong relationships with customers, regulators and market participants across several jurisdictions. Mr Attia played a central role in Euronext's transformation into a leading pan-European market infrastructure group, including overseeing the development of Euronext's proprietary trading platform, Optiq, and the expansion of Euronext Clearing into a multi-asset international clearing house.

Earlier in his career, as Senior Vice President at ICE, Mr Attia was instrumental in the carve-out of Euronext from ICE and its successful initial public offering in 2014. He also played a leading role in shaping the organisation, governance framework and technology strategy that laid the foundations for Euronext's long-term growth and development.

Mr Attia said: "I am delighted to join ASX at a pivotal moment in its transformation. There is so much potential, and I'm excited to meet everyone at ASX and to engage directly with key stakeholders in Australia's markets ecosystem. I look forward to working with the ASX Boards and the executive leadership team to further strengthen ASX's role as a steward of critical market infrastructure and to position us as a leading capital markets hub in the Asia Pacific region."

As previously announced, current ASX Managing Director and CEO Helen Lofthouse will depart on 29 May 2026. Darren Yip, current Group Executive Markets and Listings was appointed as ASX Interim CEO and will support the transition to Mr Attia later this year.

About Anthony Attia – detailed biography

Mr Attia has nearly 30 years of experience in exchange and market infrastructure businesses. He demonstrated strong leadership capabilities early in his career, joining the French Stock Exchange (Société des Bourses Françaises) in 1997, where he played an important role in the creation of Euronext through the integration of multiple national exchanges into a unified European platform.

Over the following years, he held a series of senior operational and strategic roles, including Executive Director and Head of Operations, leading market operations, client relationships and business development initiatives across several European financial centres.

Following the merger of NYSE and Euronext in 2008, Mr Attia was appointed Senior Vice President with responsibility for the design and implementation of the Universal Trading Platform, a major global integration initiative. From 2010 to 2013, he served in New York as Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of NYSE Euronext, supporting strategic alignment and organisational integration across transatlantic markets.

In 2014, Mr Attia was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Euronext Paris, where he led a period of significant transformation and growth across primary markets, listings, post-trade and corporate services activities throughout the group.

Most recently, as Global Head of Derivatives and Post Trade and a member of the Group Executive Committee at Euronext, he oversaw strategy, product development and the continued expansion of the group's clearing and derivatives capabilities across its pan-European markets.

Throughout his career, Mr Attia has been a strong advocate for innovation and for strengthening European capital markets infrastructure. He has contributed to industry governance through board positions with exchanges, clearing houses and financial market associations. He served for eight years as a Board Director of LCH SA and was also a member of the Board of Euroclear Holding. He previously served as Vice President of the Federation of European Securities Exchanges.

Mr Attia holds an engineering degree in computer science, applied mathematics and finance, and has completed executive and board education programmes at INSEAD and the University of St. Gallen.
