Accell Group announced that its shares will be included in the Midcap index (AMX) of Euronext Amsterdam beginning March 24. The AMX index is made up of 25 medium-sized listed companies on Euronext Amsterdam. It is the first time the Accell Group enters the AMX index since the company's listing in 1998, when it went public. The company has been part of the Amsterdam Small Cap Index (AScX) since 2008. The inclusion in the Midcap index is expected to raise the company profile among investors due to a positive effect on the liquidity of its shares, partly because the stock now also becomes attractive for institutional investors who only trade in funds that are included in the AEX and/or AMX, the company said. The composition of the Midcap is reviewed by Euronext Amsterdam annually in March based on the free float adjusted market capitalization of the listed companies. At the end of February, the total market capitalization of the Accell Group amounted to around €350 million. Accell Group's turnover increased from €149 million in 1998 to €849 million in 2013. Growth has been realized on an autonomous basis as well as through acquisitions.
