Euronext Introduces Standardised Listing Templates and Digital Platform to Support Companies Seeking Market Admission

(IN BRIEF) Euronext has welcomed the entry into application of key provisions of the EU Listing Act and launched a new admission framework to simplify the process for companies seeking to list on its markets. The EU legislation revises prospectus, market abuse and securities admission rules, with the aim of making European capital markets more attractive and accessible, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. Euronext is introducing ready-to-use standardised templates, including the European IPO Prospectus, European Growth Prospectus and European Follow-on Prospectus, while also revising its Information Document for Euronext Growth and Euronext Access to align it with the EU Growth Prospectus framework and reduce its length by half. The group is also launching the MyEuronext Digital Platform as a single access point for listing candidates and advisers across its markets, while strengthening admission processes through earlier engagement and AI-supported document review. The initiative supports Euronext’s broader goal of simplifying access to capital, improving cross-border investment and advancing European capital markets integration.

(PRESS RELEASE) AMSTERDAM/ATHENS/BRUSSELS/DUBLIN/LISBON/MILAN/OSLO/PARIS, 5-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Euronext has welcomed the entry into application of key provisions of the European Union Listing Act and has launched a new admission framework designed to simplify access to its markets for companies and their advisers.

The changes mark an important step for European capital markets, as the EU Listing Act begins applying measures that revise the Prospectus Regulation, the Market Abuse Regulation and the rules governing the admission of securities to European stock exchanges. The legislation is intended to make European capital markets more accessible, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises seeking growth financing.

Euronext, which operates markets in Amsterdam, Athens, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris, has long supported greater integration and harmonisation across European capital markets. In April 2025, the group introduced the European Common Prospectus to help accelerate market integration and support IPO activity across the European Union. The new framework builds on that work by aligning Euronext’s admission procedures with the simplification measures introduced under the Listing Act.

The EU Listing Act introduces several changes aimed at making European markets more attractive for issuers and investors. These include a standard threshold of €12 million below which a prospectus is not required, the adoption of English as a conventional disclosure language, the creation of a standardised prospectus format replacing national templates, and more proportionate Market Abuse Regulation rules to reduce the regulatory burden on listed companies.

Some parts of the Listing Act will still require national transposition, including provisions related to reducing the free float requirement to 10%. Euronext may already set a free float below 25% under its Rule Book, subject to a minimum of 5%, and may apply a 10% threshold where permitted by applicable legislation and national implementation.

In line with the Delegated Acts adopted by the European Commission and ahead of their entry into force, Euronext is releasing a set of ready-to-use standardised templates to support issuers and advisers. These include the European IPO Prospectus, the European Growth Prospectus and the European Follow-on Prospectus. The templates are intended to help companies navigate the simplified framework introduced by the Listing Act and support more consistent documentation across European markets.

To further streamline admission processes, Euronext is also revising its Information Document for companies seeking admission to its multilateral trading facilities, Euronext Growth and Euronext Access. The revised document will be aligned with the EU Growth Prospectus framework and will reduce the document’s length by half, helping simplify requirements for smaller and growth-stage companies.

Euronext is also launching the MyEuronext Digital Platform, a new single access point for companies seeking a listing and for their advisers across all Euronext markets. The platform is designed to streamline admission procedures, improve operational efficiency and reduce execution risk across different products and geographies.

In parallel, Euronext is strengthening its admission framework through earlier and more structured engagement with listing candidates. The group is also using artificial intelligence tools to support document review, further improving efficiency in the admission process.

Mathieu Caron, Head of Primary Markets at Euronext, said the group’s priority is to support companies at every stage of their growth journey by improving access to capital. He said the implementation of the Listing Act enables Euronext to simplify admission procedures, provide standardised templates and introduce a new digital entry point for issuers and advisers. He added that these measures will make the listing process more efficient and accessible while contributing to the continued strengthening of European capital markets.

The new admission framework reflects Euronext’s wider commitment to supporting European market integration, reducing complexity for issuers and improving cross-border investment opportunities across Europe.
