What is the role of NYSE Euronext in regulating listed companies?

NYSE Euronext does not have a direct regulatory role in overseeing listed companies. Instead, its primary responsibility is to provide a transparent and secure marketplace for these companies to trade their securities. As a leading global exchange operator, NYSE Euronext ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and best practices, including corporate governance standards set by relevant authorities. Listed companies are subject to the oversight of various regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States or their respective national regulatory bodies. NYSE Euronext collaborates with these regulators to facilitate compliance and ensure fair and efficient markets. Additionally, the exchange operator assists listed companies in meeting their disclosure obligations by providing timely and accurate dissemination of market information.
