ABEO, a designer of sports and leisure equipment, today announces that its share has been included in three French stock market indices, the CAC Small, CAC® Mid & Small and CAC® All Tradable. This decision taken by the Steering Committee for the Euronext Paris indices (Conseil Scientifique) will take effect from the start of trading on Monday 19 December 2016.

 The Committee decided to include the ABEO share in these indices as a result of its quarterly review of their composition and an analysis of share liquidity conducted by Euronext on the basis of two criteria: turnover and free float market capitalisation. Only listed companies with an annual average free-float adjusted turnover velocity of at least 20% are admitted. The achievement of this liquidity criterion is reflective of the strong attraction ABEO has held for investors, even though it has only been trading for a short period.

 “Two months after our IPO, we are delighted to see ABEO included in the CAC® indices. This promotion will help to increase our visibility among the financial community and stimulate trading in our share”, Olivier Estèves concluded.
