business on equity exchanges globally.’

in the European equities marketplace, so we are delighted that they have selected to become
part of the Aquis Exchange eco-system. With our unique subscription pricing model and rule

market impact, Aquis Exchange is one of the most liquid and cost-effective venues in Europe

About Aquis Exchange and Aquis Technologies:
Aquis Exchange Limited is an exchange services group, which operates a pan-European cash equities trading
exchange (Aquis Exchange) and develops and licenses exchange software to third parties (Aquis Technologies).
Aquis Exchange is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority to operate a Multilateral Trading
Facility. The Aquis MTF 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 operates a lit order
book and does not allow aggressive non-client proprietary trading, thus toxicity and signalling risk is lower on Aquis
than other trading venues in Europe. According to independent studies, trades on Aquis are less likely to lead to
price movement than on other lit markets.
Aquis Technologies is the software and technology division on Aquis Exchange Limited. It creates and licenses costeffective matching engine and market surveillance technology for banks, brokers, investment firms and exchanges.
