Paris

Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Paris, 18 September
2012– NYSE Euronext (NYX) and CFB Communication
today announced that the 12th annual Midcap Event will take
place on September 24 and 25 at Palais Brongniart in Paris.
It will bring together 150 companies listed on the European
market of NYSE Euronext and 400 institutional investors from
around Europe.

The MidCap Event was created in 2000 to promote links
and exchanges between listed companies, assisted by the
brokers that track them, and fund managers likely to invest
in their securities.  Now held each year, its high
profile makes it a particularly attractive option in today’s
tough economic environment: French and other European fund
managers are keen to meet a maximum number of company heads
in a minimum amount of time, while company leaders welcome
the opportunity to present their strengths and growth
potential to investors.

Highlights of these two exceptional days include:
o   One-on-one meetings between
companies, investors and partners;
o   Company presentations of business
lines and strategies;
o   Sector and theme-based pitches and
presentations.

“We’re very proud of our 12-year partnership with CFB
Communication and the opportunities it gives us to promote
growth in both supply and demand – from listed companies as
well as investors looking for investments,”said
Marc Lefèvre, Head ofEuropean Business
Development and Client Coverageat NYSE Euronext.
“Communicating effectively is indispensable for listed
companies, since this gives investors the information and
visibility they need to take investment decisions. At NYSE
Euronext, we’ve worked for years to create an attractive,
sound and reliable environment in which companies can
consolidate their existing financial resources and raise the
fresh capital they need.”

Francis Bader, Chairman and CEO of CFB Communication,
welcomed the opportunity to work with NYSE Euronext: “We are
delighted to work with NYSE Euronext, as we have over the
past twelve years, to give shape to Europe’s top event for
listed companies and institutional investors. This is one of
15 events that CFB Communication organizes each year across
Europe, and is a particularly efficient way to bring company
heads together with fund managers in today’s very tough
economic environment. NYSE Euronext’s support for these
initiatives is decisive in facilitating access to capital for
businesses in the region.”
