Notes to Editors

About Aquis Exchange

Aquis Exchange PLC is an exchange services group, which operates pan-European
cash equities trading businesses (Aquis Exchange), growth and regulated
primary markets (Aquis Stock Exchange/AQSE) and develops/licenses exchange
software to third parties (Aquis Technologies).

Aquis Exchange is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct
Authority and France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers to operate
Multilateral Trading Facility businesses in the UK and in EU27 respectively.
Aquis operates a lit order book and does not allow aggressive non-client
proprietary trading, which has resulted in lower toxicity and signalling risk
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 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 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.
AQSE, which used to be known as NEX Exchange Ltd., was acquired by Aquis in
March 2020 from CME Inc. The AQSE Growth Market is divided into two segments
'Access' and 'Apex', with different levels of admission criteria. The Access
market focuses on earlier stage growth companies, while Apex is the intended
market for larger, more established businesses.

Aquis Technologies is the software and technology division of Aquis Exchange
PLC. It creates and licenses cutting-edge, cost-effective matching engine and
trade surveillance technology for banks, brokers, investment firms and
exchanges.

Aquis Exchange PLC (AQX.L) is listed on the Alternative Investment Market of
the LSE (AIM) market. For more information, please go to  www.aquis.eu
