How is a listing on NYSE Euronext London different from a listing in Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels or Lisbon?
The key difference is the governing regulatory authority. An international issuer listed on NYSE Euronext London would have its listing and ongoing obligations supervised by the UKLA as the competent regulator. For an issuer listed in Amsterdam, it would be the AFM, and for an issuer in Paris, the AMF. This is the main difference between each of the NYSE Euronext entry points. One very important thing to remember is that all shares and depositary receipts, regardless of their entry point, are traded on the same European platform and central order book. This provides international issuers with equal opportunity to attract the broadest possible investor base, whichever location they choose to enter NYSE Euronext.
