Euronext: regulatory approval to takeover VP Securities

(CercleFinance.com) - Euronext says that it has received approval from the Danish financial supervisory authority to acquire 100% of the capital of VP Securities, the Danish central securities depository, which is the only condition for the deal to be completed.


The pan-European stockmarket group points out that it has already secured broad support from VP Securities' existing shareholders, who have already committed to tendering around 90.7% of the shares to its offer.

Euronext's offer for VP Securities' remaining shares remains open until the end of August. It then plans to launch a squeeze-out procedure for the shares that have not been tendered.
