2.        Acceptance Period

2.1   The period of time during which the holders of ATHEX Shares (the “Shareholders”) may accept the Tender Offer by submitting a relevant written declaration of acceptance (the “Declaration of Acceptance”) to their intermediary (i.e. the bank, brokerage firm, investment services firm or other investment firm with which they cooperate) that is a certified member at the Greek Dematerialized Securities System (the “DSS Participant” and the “DSS”, respectively) through which their ATHEX Shares are registered, starts on 6 October 2025, at 08.00 am (Greek time) and ends on 17 November 2025, at 02:00 p.m. (Greek time) (the “Acceptance Period”).

2.2   Alternatively, for their own facilitation, Shareholders who wish to accept the Tender Offer may, at their own initiative, authorize their DSS Participant through which their ATHEX Shares are registered, to fill-in, sign, submit or dispatch the Declaration of Acceptance and in general to proceed with all necessary actions for the purpose of accepting the Tender Offer on their behalf. Declarations of Acceptance forms will be available through the DSS Participant throughout the Acceptance Period during business days and hours.

3.        The Tender Offer

3.1   As at the Date of the Tender Offer, no ATHEX Shares were held, directly or indirectly, by the Euronext Group.

3.2   The companies of the Euronext Group are acting in concert with the Offeror for the purposes of the Tender Offer, pursuant to article 2, case (e) of the Law. There are no other persons acting in concert with the Offeror for the purposes of the Tender Offer, pursuant to article 2, case (e) of the Law.

3.3   On 30 July 2025, the Offeror and ATHEX entered into a cooperation agreement which details the cooperation between the Offeror and ATHEX in relation to the Tender Offer (the “Cooperation Agreement”). The Cooperation Agreement provides, among others, that ATHEX will not tender the Treasury Shares in the Tender Offer.

3.4   The following members of the Board of Directors of ATHEX owning shares including CEO Ioannis Kontopoulos have provided irrevocable undertakings to tender their shares in the Tender Offer subject to the issuance of a reasoned opinion of ATHEX’s Board of Directors in favor of the Tender Offer:

NameNumber of shares held
George Handjinicolaou15,000
Ioannis Kontopoulos95,000

3.5   Other than the Cooperation Agreement and the aforementioned written statements received by the Offeror from the ATHEX directors, there are no special agreements relating to the Tender Offer or the exercise of rights arising from the ATHEX Shares to which the Offeror is a party.

4.        Consideration

4.1   In consideration for every ATHEX Share lawfully and validly tendered in the Tender Offer, and in accordance with the first clause of paragraph 1 of article 9 of the Law, Euronext offers 0.050 Consideration Share for 1 ATHEX Share (the “Offer Consideration”). The shares of the Offeror are held in book-entry form through the Central Securities Depository for the Offeror Shares (“Euronext Securities Milan”).

4.2   In the event that fractional balances of the Offeror's shares arise during the exchange, these will be paid by the Offeror based on the following formula:

the product of (x) the number of ATHEX Shares held by the investor, (y1) the volume-weighted average trading price (VWAP) of Euronext during the 1 week prior to the settlement date of the Public Offer and (y2) 0.050.

4.3   The Consideration Shares carry the right to dividends, capital returns, distributions from distributable reserves or other distributions that may be made by Euronext after the settlement date of the Tender Offer.

4.4   Euronext will assume payment of the duties levied in favor of the Hellenic Central Securities Depository S.A. (the “ATHEXCSD”) on the registration of the over-the-counter transfer of the Transferred Shares in accordance with the codified decision 18 (Meeting 311/22.02.2021) of the Board of Directors of ATHEXCSD, which would otherwise be payable by the accepting shareholders of ATHEX. Such duties amount to 0.08% and are calculated in accordance with the provisions of such decision with a minimum charge equal to the lower between €20 and 20% of the value of the transfer by any accepting shareholders per securities account.

4.5   To the contrary, it is clarified that shareholders who do not offer the ATHEX Shares they hold in the context of the Tender Offer, including those electing to receive the Cash Consideration in the context of the exercise of the Right of Squeeze-out or the Right to Sell-out, will also be responsible for all charges and taxes that are due in connection with the Tender Offer, including the duties above levied in favor of the Hellenic Central Securities Depository S.A and the Offeror assumes no responsibility nor liability in the payment of said charges and taxes. Notably, based on the letter of the circular issued by the Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue with reference number Ε.2048/2024, the transfer of the Transferred Shares to the Offeror in consideration for Consideration Shares can be excluded from the tax provided for in article 9 paragraph 2 of Law 2579/1998 in favor of the Greek State provided all conditions mentioned therein are met, which amounts to 0.10%, and is imposed on sales of shares listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, since such transfer does not constitute a sale under the abovementioned provision. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax implications of the Tender Offer that may concern them in Greece or abroad.

4.6   It should be noted that an Accepting Shareholder who elects to receive Consideration Shares, or the financial intermediary (e.g. bank, brokerage firm, investment services firms, investment firm or other type of custodian) with whom such Accepting Shareholder cooperates, will have to inform, prior to the end of Acceptance Period, the Euronext Securities Milan participant with whom such shareholder has a direct or indirect relationship, of the receipt of the Consideration Shares through Euronext Securities Milan at the time settlement of the Tender Offer is completed. If it is not so informed, the said participant may reject the receipt of such shares, or the delivery thereof to such participant on behalf of the relevant Accepting Shareholder might not be possible.

5.        Information Circular

5.1   Beginning on 6 October 2025 and for the whole duration of the Acceptance Period, printed copies of the Information Circular will be available, free of charge, at any of the branches of Eurobank S.A. in Greece. In addition, the Information Circular will also be available through (i) the HCMC website

(ii)        the        ATHEX        website

(), (iii) the website of Eurobank () and (iv) the website of the Offeror ().

5.2   Further information about the acceptance of the Tender Offer can also be obtained through the dedicated helpline of the Offeror in Greece during Greek business days and hours by calling in Greece the following numbers:

7.        Prerequisite and Conditions

7.1   Completion of the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions and minimum number of shares:

(a)        the        approval        of the        HCMC in relation        to        the        direct change of control of ATHEX;

(b)        the        approval        of the        HCMC in relation        to        the        indirect change of control of ΑΤΗΕΧClear;

(c)        the        approval        of the        HCMC in relation        to        the        indirect change of control of ATHEXCSD;

(d)        the        approval        of RAEWW and the HCMC in        relation to the change of control of ATHEX due to its

participation in Hellenic Energy Exchange (“HenEx”) and EnEx Clearing House (“EnExClear”);

(e)   the approval of the HCMC in relation to the acquisition by the Euronext Reference ShareholdersI of an indirect qualifying holding between 20% and 50% of ATHEX, ATHEXCSD and ATHEXClear; (together with (a)-(e), the “Conditions”); and

(f)   no later than the end of the Acceptance Period, at least 38,759,500 ATHEX Shares, corresponding to at least 67% of ATHEX’s total voting rights whose exercise is not subject to suspension, shall have been lawfully and validly tendered to the Offeror (the “Minimum Number of Shares”). This condition may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Law.

If (i) the Minimum Number of Shares is not fulfilled as at the end of the Acceptance Period and/or (ii) the Conditions are not satisfied, the Tender Offer will ipso jure lapse, and have no legal effect, and the ATHEX Shares which will have been tendered to the Offeror will be returned to their holders.

The Offeror may revoke the Tender Offer if (i) a competing offer, as provided by the Law, has been submitted, or (ii) subject to the HCMC’s approval, if an unforeseen change in circumstances beyond the control of the Offeror occurs that makes the Tender Offer particularly onerous.

The declarations of acceptance which are submitted cannot be revoked, unless a competing offer, as provided by the Law, has been submitted, in which case the accepting shareholder will be entitled to exercise a revocation right.

8.        Right of Squeeze-out - Right to Sell-out

8.1   If, at the end of the Acceptance Period, Euronext holds at least 52,065,000 ATHEX Shares representing at least 90% of ATHEX’s voting rights in accordance with the Law (the “Relevant Threshold”):

(a)   Euronext will initiate the squeeze-out procedure under the Law to cause any remaining holders of Company Shares to transfer those ATHEX Shares to Euronext, in accordance with the Law (the “Right of Squeeze-Out”); and

(b)   holders of ATHEX Shares who have not accepted the Tender Offer will be entitled, within a period of three (3) months from the publication of the results of the Tender Offer, to exercise the right to sell-out, in accordance with the Law (the “Right to Sell-Out”).

8.2   The consideration offered for each ATHEX Share regarding both the Right of Squeeze-Out and the Right to Sell-Out, is, at the election of the holder:

(a)        Consideration Shares held in book-entry form through Euronext Securities Milan; or

(b)        the cash consideration of €5.98 for each ATHEX Share (the “Cash Consideration”).

8.3   The Cash Consideration meets the criteria of the fair and reasonable consideration, according to article 9 of the Law, since:

(a)   it exceeds the VWAP during the six months preceding the Date of the Tender Offer, where in this case the VWAP of ATHEX Shares during the six months preceding 30 July 2025, is €5.9770

(b)   the Offeror or any persons acting on its behalf or in concert with the Offeror did not acquire ATHEX Shares during the twelve (12) months preceding the Date of the Tender Offer

(c)   a valuation is not required for ATHEX based on the provisions of par. 6 of article 9 of the Law, as none of the conditions referred to therein are met, namely:



- no sanctions have been imposed by the Board of Directors of the HCMC for manipulation that took place within the 18-month period preceding the Date of the Tender Offer,

  • during the six (6) months preceding the Date of the Tender Offer, (i) transactions in ATHEX Shares have been carried out on the Athens Stock Exchange on more than three-fifths (3/5) of the operating days of the relevant market, and specifically, they amounted to 100% of them and (ii) transactions that have been carried out on ATHEX Shares exceed ten percent (10%) of the total shares of ATHEX, and specifically, they amounted to 39% of them.
  • The reasonable and fair consideration as determined by the criteria of paragraph 4 of Article 9 of the Law, exceeds eighty percent (80%) of the accounting value per share, based on the data of the average of the last two published financial statements of Law 3556/2007, on a consolidated basis.

8.4   If the Relevant Threshold is reached or exceeded at the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offeror expects that the Right of Squeeze-out process will be completed within four to eight weeks after Closing. The Offeror intends to apply for the commencement of unconditional listing and trading on Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Brussels, Euronext Lisbon and Euronext Paris of any Offeror Shares which may be issued as consideration in connection with the Right of Squeeze-out as soon as practicable following completion of the Right of Squeeze-out process.

8.5   If the Relevant Threshold is reached or exceeded at the end of the Acceptance Period, the Right to Sellout will automatically expire upon completion of the Right of Squeeze-Out. As a result, the Offeror expects that completion of the Right to Squeeze-out process will precede the completion of the Right of Sell-out process.

9.        Delisting of the ATHEX Shares from the ATHEX

9.1   If, following completion of the Tender Offer or after the exercise of the Right of Squeeze-out or the Right to Sell-out, as the case may be, the Offeror holds at least 95% of ATHEX’s voting rights, the Offeror intends to request the convocation of a General Meeting of the Shareholders to resolve upon the submission of an application to the HCMC requesting the delisting of the ATHEX Shares from the Athens Stock Exchange, in accordance with article 17 paragraph 5 of Law 3371/2005, at which (General Meeting) the Offeror will exercise its voting rights in favor of such resolution.

9.2   If the percentage of the ATHEX Shares which will be eventually tendered ranges between 67% and below 90%, the ATHEX Shares will continue to trade on the ATHEX.

The Offeror Shares have not been and will not be registered in Japan pursuant to Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended, the "FIEA") in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements since the offering constitutes the private placement to qualified institutional investors only as provided for in "i" of Article 2, Paragraph 3, Item 2 of the FIEA.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The information contained in this announcement does not purport to be full or complete. The exact dates of the Tender Offer may change.

This announcement contains forward-looking statements which are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time and relate to, amongst others, the business activities and certain plans and objectives that Euronext has in respect of the ATHEX Group and the Euronext Group. In some cases, the forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “may”, “hope”, “might”, “can”, “could”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, “intends” and the negative of these terms accordingly. There are many factors (for instance, without limitation, commercial, operational, economic, political and financial), as a consequence of which the actual results and the actual developments may potentially substantially differ from the plans and the objectives of Euronext and the ATHEX Group set out in this announcement. As such, Euronext and the ATHEX Group evolve in a highly competitive landscape and rapidly changing environment, where new risks and uncertainties not specifically described herein this announcement may emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties.

Although Euronext believes that, as of the date of this announcement, the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, Euronext cannot assure you that future events will meet these expectations. Moreover, neither Euronext nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. After the date of this announcement, unless Euronext is required by applicable law to update these forward-looking statements, Euronext will not necessarily update any of these forward-looking statements to conform them either to actual results or to changes in expectations.
