NYSE Euronext (NYX) has selected J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
(JPM) and Societe Generale S.A. (GLE.FR) to arrange an initial
public offering for Euronext, NYSE's European stock-market
division, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday on its website, citing
four people with knowledge of the matter.
The size of the deal has not been set, although it could raise
about $1 billion, two people told Bloomberg.
NYSE Euronext late last year agreed to be acquired by
IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE) for about $8.2 billion.
A spokeswoman for NYSE Euronext in London declined comment to
Bloomberg. A spokeswoman for ICE said the company would not comment
"except that we remain focused on securing the final regulatory
approvals in Europe." Officials at J.P. Morgan and Societe Generale
also declined comment to Bloomberg.
