Euronext announced that Luis Laginha, Chairman and CEO of Euronext Lisbon and Interbolsa and member of the Managing Board of Euronext NV, has resigned and will step down from his role as CEO. This departure was agreed mutually based on Luis Laginha's desire to pursue other professional interests. He will continue to fulfil his responsibilities until the shareholders' meetings of both entities have taken place on 22 February 2016.

Until such time as this recruitment process is finalised, Isabel Ucha, currently member of the Board of Euronext Lisbon and Director of Local Market Development, will be appointed interim CEO of Euronext Lisbon and a member of the Euronext NV Managing Board while holding this interim position.
