Prospectus required for listing 

Listing requires the publication of a prospectus. Information on the drawing up prospectuses is available from our pages under Prospectuses. The most important standard adressing the publication of a prospectus required for listing is standard 5.2a, which includes FIN-FSA's key recommendations and interpretations regarding securities offerings and listing. Under Prospectuses you will find links to the Commission's Regulation on Prospectuses and other provisions underlying standard 5.2a and concerning the content and publication of the prospectus. There is also a link to our prospectus database, which contains all prospectuses approved by FIN-FSA in recent years.

FIN-FSA makes an ex ante commentary on marketing material related to listing, even though supervision of securities marketing mainly takes place ex post. Guidance and recommendations on securities marketing are included in FIN-FSA standards 5.2a and 2.2.
