Paris, April 18, 2011 - Next 26th and 27th April the 6th Edition of the Paris 'Smallcap Event' will take place. This event will gather over 70 listed companies from the NYSE Euronext zone, of which market capitalization does not exceed €500mio, as well as close to 200 institutional investors. One of the key objectives of this edition is to promote micro caps listed on NYSE Euronext, who do not have many opportunities to meet fund managers. So as to draw investors' attention on these companies, every top executive will be able to hold a pitch, during which fund managers will find out about companies' strategies and objectives then investors will have the opportunity to meet in one-to-one those of interest to them. NYSE Euronext will actively support this event. Arkeon Finance, Atout Capital, Invest Securities and Simon Associés will back up the companies present.
