NYSE Said to Choose JPMorgan, Societe Generale for Euronext IPO

NYSE Euronext, the bourse operator being acquired by IntercontinentalExchange Group Inc., has tapped JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Societe Generale SA to help arrange the initial public offering of its European equity operations, four people with knowledge of the matter said.

A stake in the Euronext unit, which controls markets in Paris, Lisbon, Brussels and Amsterdam, may be sold next year, said the people, asking not to be named because the information isn’t public. The sale could raise about 750 million euros ($1 billion), though the final size of the deal hasn’t been determined yet, two of the people said.
