1. Introduction and purpose
The purpose of this Policy is to describe the key principles that the Company follows in its investor communication and financial reporting and when communicating with its shareholders and other capital market parties, media, and other stakeholders.
In its communication and disclosure, the Company complies with the applicable EU and Finnish legislation, such as the EU Market Abuse Regulation (the “MAR”), the rules and guidelines of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd, the regulations and guidelines of the European Securities Markets Authority and the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority as well as the Company’s internal policies and guidelines.
The key principles of the communication and disclosure of the Company are timeliness, consistency, impartiality, and transparency.
The purpose of the Company’s investor relations function is to support the fair value of Verkkokauppa.com’s financial instruments by providing the financial market with consistent, correct, relevant, and reliable information on the Company to ensure that capital market participants have transparent and clear picture of the Company, its operations, objectives, strategy, and financial situation. The aim is to guarantee that all market participants receive the information that the Company communicates simultaneously.
Verkkokauppa.com discloses inside information that directly concerns the Company by means of a stock exchange release as soon as possible unless the disclosure of inside information is delayed. In accordance with the MAR, Verkkokauppa.com may on its own responsibility delay disclosure of inside information to the public provided that all the following conditions are met:
• immediate disclosure is likely to prejudice the legitimate interests of the Company;
• delay of disclosure is not likely to mislead the public; and
• the Company is able to ensure the confidentiality of the information.
The Company shall assess on a case-by-case basis whether the aforementioned conditions for delaying disclosure are met. If all the conditions listed above are not met, the Company must publicly disclose the inside information as soon as possible by means of a stock exchange release.
