Discover the IPO Direct Distribution Service


The IPO Direct Distribution Service provides Issuers and Global Coordinators with an on-demand and complementary service that will support Issuers and the Global Coordinators in improving the access to the retail target market by: 

  • leveraging on the client network connected to the Optiq® trading system, in order to maximise the number of intermediaries and their in-target clients for the Public Offer; 

  • benefiting from the Euronext trading and post-trading infrastructure, already used by member firms for trading activities, to handle the end-to-end retail subscription process; 

  • automatically managing the allocation in case of oversubscription;

This service does not support the price discovery process, which remains part of the bookbuilding process managed by the Issuers, the Global Coordinators and the other intermediaries and advisors involved outside the Optiq® trading system, as usual. 

In this regard, the IPO Direct Distribution Service must be considered as complementary to the standard process managed by the Issuer, its Advisors and the consortium, just to leverage on a more efficient access to the in-target retail market.
