Is your company applying for listing? 

The Securities Markets Act (SMA) obliges issuers of securities subject to public trading to disclose decisions and other factors materially affecting the value of the company's securities. In connection with the listing, the company's disclosure obligation includes the relevant prospectus and the subsequent disclosure of periodic and ongoing information.

Here we have included links to the pages on the FIN-FSA website covering subject areas that a company applying for listing should study well in advance.

In addition to statutory obligations, listed companies must comply with the rules of the stock exchange. The guidance and information of Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Ltd (Helsinki Stock Exchange) on services offered to companies applying for listing are available on the website of the stock exchange.

A company applying for listing must be prepared to fulfil its statutory disclosure obligation from the date on which the company submits its listing application to the stock exchange. The information disclosed by a listed company must be timely, consistent and reliable. Factors related to the disclosure obligation are often reflected in other listing conditions, such as the fulfilment of qualitative listing requirements, the company's obligation to apply the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or the corporate governance of the company.
