Notes to editors:
Aquis Exchange PLC is an exchange services group, which operates
pan-European cash equities trading businesses (Aquis Exchange),
growth and regulated primary markets (Aquis Stock Exchange/AQSE)
and develops/licenses exchange software to third parties (Aquis
Technologies).
Aquis Exchange is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial
Conduct Authority and France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers to
operate Multilateral Trading Facility businesses in the UK and in
EU27 respectively. Aquis operates a lit order book and does not
allow aggressive non-client proprietary trading, which has resulted
in lower toxicity and signalling risk on Aquis than other trading
venues in Europe. According to independent studies, trades on Aquis
are less likely to lead to price movement than on other lit
markets. Aquis uses a subscription pricing model which works by
charging users according to the message traffic they generate,
rather than a percentage of the value of each stock that they
trade.
Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE) is a stock market providing primary
and secondary markets for equity and debt products. It is
authorised as a Recognised Investment Exchange, which allows it to
operate a regulated listings venue. The AQSE Growth Market is
divided into two segments 'Access' and 'Apex', with different
levels of admission criteria. The Access market focuses on earlier
stage growth companies, while Apex is the intended market for
larger, more established businesses.
Aquis Technologies is the software and technology division of
Aquis Exchange PLC. It creates and licenses cutting-edge,
cost-effective matching engine and trade surveillance technology
for banks, brokers, investment firms and exchanges.
Aquis Exchange PLC (AQX.L) is listed on the Alternative
Investment Market of the LSE (AIM) market. For more information,
