Dennis Dijkstra, CEO, commented:

“We are delighted to have completed this strategic investment in shape Q. We have seen first-hand the positive impact that RfQ platforms have had on off-exchange trading and are confident that this will also benefit the physical energy and environmental commodities markets. This investment is aligned with our overall strategic ecosystem approach and ESG ambitions as well underscoring our longstanding commitment to driving electronification and transparency in financial markets.“

Massimo Noto, shape Q Co-founder, added:

“Flow Traders‘ strategic investment will allow shape Q to advance our product and feature development and roll out. We remain convinced that energy trading suffers from a technology gap which creates an opportunity for an OTC RfQ electronic marketplace.

Efficiencies are net, before tax and on a run-rate basis, i.e. taking into account the full-year impact of any measure to be undertaken before the end of the period mentioned. The expected operating efficiencies and cost savings were prepared on the basis of a number of assumptions, projections and estimates, many of which depend on factors that are beyond Flow Traders’ control. These assumptions, projections and estimates are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and actual results may differ, perhaps materially, from those projected. Flow Traders cannot provide any assurance that these assumptions are correct and that these projections and estimates will reflect Flow Traders’ actual results of operations.
