(Updates with company response in paragraph 3)
Dec 15 (Reuters) - Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd (HKEX) CEO Nicolas Aguzin is set to leave the company, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Aguzin, whose contract is set to end in May, will not be around for another term, the report said, adding that the terms of his exit remained unclear as it is not certain yet if he would exit immediately or complete his tenure.
HKEX declined to comment on the report.
Bloomberg News reported on Sunday that HKEX was considering extending Aguzin's contract until May 2025, citing people familiar with the matter.
Aguzin took the helm at HKEX in May 2021, having been recruited from JPMorgan Chase & Co. He succeeded Charles Li, who had held the position for more than a decade.
