About Aquis Exchange PLC
Aquis Exchange PLC ("Aquis") is
a creator and facilitator of next-generation financial markets,
through the provision of accessible, simple and efficient stock
exchanges, trading venues and technology.
Aquis consists of four
divisions:
Aquis
Markets operates lit and dark order books, covering 16 European
markets. For its lit books, Aquis uses a subscription pricing model
which works by charging users according to the message traffic they
generate, rather than a percentage of the value of each stock that
they trade.
Aquis
Technologies is the software and technology
division of Aquis. It focuses on building better markets via the
creation and licensing of cutting-edge, cost-effective exchange
infrastructure technology and services, including matching engine
and trade surveillance solutions.
Aquis
Data generates revenue from the sale of data derived from Aquis
Markets and Aquis Stock Exchange to non-Member market
participants.
Aquis Stock
Exchange (AQSE) is a stock market
providing primary and secondary markets for equity and debt
products. It is authorised as a Recognised Investment Exchange,
which allows it to operate a regulated listings venue. The AQSE
Growth Market is divided into two segments 'Access' and 'Apex'; the
Access market focuses on earlier stage growth companies, while Apex
is the intended market for larger, more established
businesses.
Aquis is authorised and regulated by
the UK Financial Conduct Authority
and France's Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de
résolution and L'Autorité des marchés financiers to operate
Multilateral Trading Facility businesses in
the UK & Switzerland markets and in EU27
markets respectively. Aquis Exchange PLC is quoted on the
Aquis Stock Exchange and on the AIM Market (AIM) of the LSE. For
