Deutsche Börse Group has reached an agreement to acquire the remaining 20 percent minority stake in ISS STOXX from General Atlantic. The purchase is based on a pre-agreed, peer-based multiple approach, valuing the deal at €1.1 billion, representing 20 times ISS STOXX’s adjusted EBITDA. The payment will be made in two tranches: €731 million due in February 2026 and the remainder in March 2026. Following the completion of this transaction, expected by the end of March 2026, Deutsche Börse Group will fully own ISS STOXX, enhancing its strategic flexibility and integration of ISS STOXX’s data, analytics, and index capabilities. The company expects the transaction to have a low single-digit positive impact on its cash EPS in the first year of full ownership and to maintain its long-term AA group rating.
