More specifically, Euronext Chief Executive Stephane Boujnah told reporters during a press conference in Athens, “If the offer is not successful, we will not complete it and will walk away.” Furthermore, Boujnah said the group has strong confidence in Greece’s economic trajectory and, if the tender offer succeeds, plans to enhance ATHEX’s appeal by encouraging Greek shipping companies listed abroad to return to the domestic market.
