NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Criteo (NASDAQ: CRTO) ("Criteo" or the "Company"), the global commerce intelligence platform, today announced its inclusion in the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes. As announced by MSCI, the inclusion will take effect as of the close of November 30, 2026.

Criteo

Following the completion of the Company's redomiciliation to Luxembourg, this inclusion marks a significant capital markets milestone for Criteo and strengthens its public-market profile. Within the broader MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes series, Criteo is expected to be included in several global and U.S. indexes. This is expected to increase Criteo's visibility within the institutional investment community and create an opportunity to broaden its shareholder base over time.

"Criteo's first inclusion in MSCI indexes represents a significant step in our evolution as a public company, and we believe an early benefit of our redomiciliation process," said Connor McGogney, Chief Financial Officer of Criteo. "We remain focused on disciplined execution and advancing our global commerce intelligence platform strategy to drive long-term shareholder value."

MSCI is a global index leader, providing indexes widely tracked by global institutional investors and passive funds as investment benchmarks. Following Criteo's redomiciliation to Luxembourg, the subsequent transfer of its legal domicile from Luxembourg to the U.S. is expected to be completed on January 1, 2027, subject to shareholder approval and other customary conditions.
