About Aquis Exchange
Aquis Exchange PLC and its subsidiaries are an exchange services
group, which operate a pan-European cash equities trading
businesses (Aquis Exchange), a growth and regulated primary market
(Aquis Stock Exchange/AQSE) and develop/license 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/Switzerland and in EU27 respectively. Aquis Exchange operates
lit and dark order books, covering 16 European markets. For its lit
books, Aquis Exchange 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
and does not allow aggressive non-client proprietary trading, which
has resulted in lower market impact and signalling risk on Aquis
Exchange than other trading venues in Europe.
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 is quoted on the Aquis Stock Exchange and on
