Euronext appoints Øivind Amundsen CEO of Oslo Børs
January 30, 2020

Pan-European stock exchange Euronext has announced that the Boards of Oslo Børs VPS Holding ASA and Oslo Børs ASA have approved the appointment of Øivind Amundsen as CEO of Oslo Børs VPS Holding and Oslo Børs.

This appointment follows Håvard S. Abrahamsen's resignation from his position as President and CEO of Oslo Børs VPS Holding and Oslo Børs. Abrahamsen will also step down from his position as member of the Managing Board of Euronext N.V.

The Supervisory Board of Euronext N.V. has subsequently nominated Amundsen as member of the Managing Board of Euronext N.V., subject to formal appointment by an Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Euronext N.V. and the usual regulatory non-objections.

Amundsen has been Euronext's Head of Listing for Norway and International Listings since Oslo Børs joined Euronext in June 2019. He joined Oslo Børs in 2010 as head of the legal department and Executive Vice President responsible for Primary Markets.

Prior to re-joining Oslo Børs, Amundsen was a partner in the law firm Selmer working on public equity capital transactions. Prior to that, he was Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs at KLP whilst he started his career as a lawyer in the legal department of Oslo Børs.
