PARIS, January 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Thierry Ehrmann, the founder and CEO of Artprice, is pleased to announce to shareholders and the market that ARTPRICE.COM shares have been admitted to the 'Long Only' compartment of NYSE Euronext's Deferred Settlement Service (SRD) where they will be listed as of 24 February.

The SRD mechanism was created in 2000 after the discontinuation of the Monthly Settlement market. Simple to use and framed by strict prudential rules, the system has been a major success, attracting a large number of companies. In this system, investors communicate their order to their financial intermediary who transmits it to the regulated market. In the 'Long Only' segment of the SRD, the order is executed and then delivered three days later to the financial intermediary, who finances the transaction (purchase) in cash until the end of the month.

The SRD label will enhance the visibility of the ARTPRICE.COM shares and improve their liquidity by giving a new category of investors access to the shares.
