Euroclear has entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire Uptevia, a French corporate trust services provider.
Through Uptevia, Euroclear says it will add specialist issuer capabilities and reinforce its position in the French market, complementing its existing market infrastructure and post-trade services across key European markets, including Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the Nordics and the UK.
Uptevia is currently jointly owned by BNP Paribas and CACEIS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Crédit Agricole.
Euroclear says the proposed acquisition marks a step in its strategy to broaden its issuer services capabilities and support companies throughout their capital markets journey.
Uptevia will bring capabilities in issuer services, including register management, general meetings, employee share plans and complex corporate action support.
The firm says Uptevia will continue to serve its clients, while receiving the long-term commitment of Euroclear as a prospective shareholder.
Valérie Urbain, CEO of Euroclear, notes: “The proposed acquisition supports our ambition to develop a broader pan-European issuer services proposition, aligned with the Savings and Investments Union objectives, helping us better serve issuers across both equity and debt capital markets while preserving the strengths that have made Uptevia successful.”
