140 listed companies in Paris Midcap Event
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NYSE Euronext and CF&B Communication team up for 11th Midcap Event
22 & 23 September 2011, 8.15 am to 6.00 pm
at Palais Brongniart in Paris
Paris, 14 September 2011 - NYSE Euronext (NYX) and CF&B Communication today
announced the 11th annual Midcap Event, to take place on September 22 and 23 at
Palais Brongniart in Paris. The session is once again expected to bring together
140 companies listed on NYSE Euronext's European market and over 400 investors
from across the euro zone.
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 them.
CF&B Communication's concept is simple: its team targets the correct investors
due to its qualified database of 9.000 investors in Europe and organizes pre-
booked meetings between participating companies and fund managers, ranging from
one-on-one formats to presentations by listed companies of their business and
strategy to a group of investors. Areas are also set aside for sector or theme-
based pitches and for success stories presented by partners.
"The stock market is an outstanding tool for financing growth, especially for
the mid-size companies that play such a prominent role in driving business
development in the euro zone. When companies list, they raise capital,
strengthen their structure and enhance their profile. Placing midcaps at the
heart of our strategy is our contribution to getting the economy going again and
creating jobs," said Marc Lefèvre, Head of European Domestic Listings Coverage
at NYSE Euronext.
"We have been working with CF&B Communication for over ten years to help issuers
promote their business to the investors essential to market growth, and we're
delighted to continue," he added. "Effective communications are indispensable
for listed companies, to give investors the information and visibility they need
to take investment decisions."
Francis Bader, CEO of CF&B Communication, welcomed the opportunity to work with
NYSE Euronext: "The Midcap Event lets company management meet a maximum number
of investors in minimum time. For many fund managers who attend, it's an
opportunity to set up meetings with companies they would not otherwise see
because they don't have time. So it's a chance for them to learn about new
investment opportunities, and for company management to link up with new
shareholders."
