Subject: Linux-Mandrake Community Newsletter - special IPO (2)
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 01:00:13 +0200 (CEST)
From: Mandrake Team <return@mandrakesoft.com>To: jdanield@dodin.net

Mandrakesoft is now listed on the stock exchange!

MandrakeSoft is pleased to announce that the company is now listed on the
Euronext Marché Libre. As a result of the successful Initial Public Offering,
a total of 688.480 shares were sold at 6.2 Euros each. This results in an
increase in capital of approximately 4.3 million Euros and represents 20.28%
of the company's capital after issue.

It's a big step in MandrakeSoft development and its future.

The stock will be publicly traded on Friday, August 3rd.

We would like to thank everyone who helped make the IPO a success. Now
everyone can trade Mandrakesoft shares!


There are several rules to know before buying or selling shares:

What is the Marché Libre ?
--------------------------

The Marché Libre is a non-regulated European stock market. It is a small
market with less investors & transactions than the larger markets such as
Nasdaq. There is one price determination each day at 3 PM which sets the
market price. The price cannot change more than 10% each day.


How should I trade Mandrakesoft shares?
-----------------------------------

MandrakeSoft has been assigned the Euroclear-Paris code "4477". When trading
on the Marché Libre you should always provide a "limit price" when selling or
buying shares. Because there may not be many transactions, if you don't
provide a price limit you run the risk of buying very high or selling very
low. NEVER conduct a transaction without a limit!

A PDF file which describes the market is available from Euronext:

How can I buy Mandrakesoft shares?
----------------------------------

Ask your usual broker if they accept orders for Euronext with the Euroclear
Paris code 4477.
