LSEG All Share Acquisition of Refinitiv - Borsa Italiana Group
Update
Further to the announcement on 31 July 2020 regarding MTS and
Borsa Italiana group, London Stock Exchange Group plc (LSEG)
received and reviewed a number of competitive proposals from
several parties for each of MTS and the Borsa Italiana group as a
whole. LSEG confirms it has now entered into exclusive discussions
with Euronext N.V. in relation to the sale of the Borsa Italiana
group.
There can be no certainty that a transaction will result from
these discussions and any potential sale will be dependent upon the
outcome of the European Commission's review of the Refinitiv
transaction and that transaction closing in accordance with its
terms.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
