The closing of the purchase contract of July 10, 2007 was successfully executed today upon completion of the repurchase program of the Fininfo shares by the Financière Jeulin. This expansion of its product and service portfolio will enable Telekurs Financial to significantly improve its market position in several European countries, particularly in France and Scandinavia, advancing it to third place in Europe among financial information providers. The next step will involve the integration of the two companies.

As announced in July, Financière Jeulin will merge all activities of the “Knowledge Management” business in a new company called Altares and will retain Finifo equities within IDÉ.
