“The OMX Disclosure & News Service is yet another step to improve the services on the Nordic Exchange. We are creating a hub of information which will increase the visibility for Nordic and Baltic companies and improve the transparency for private and professional investors on the Nordic Exchange,” says Hans-Ole Jochumsen, President of Information Services & New Markets.
President of the Tallinn Stock Exchange Kaidi Oone says: “Our customers will experience a user friendly service of high quality. Customers can be confident that the service fulfils the regulatory disclosure obligations coming from the European Union’s Transparency Directive valid as of January 2007.”
OMX has signed a letter of intent to partner with PR Newswire, the world’s most experienced and well respected regulatory and media distribution company. The aim of this partnership is to enable OMX customers to reach targeted media and investors on a global scale.
Lisa Ashworth, Managing Director of PR Newswire Europe is delighted about the customer opportunity this partnership will bring: “PR Newswire’s core competencies are global disclosure and media distribution. We look forward to supporting OMX in offering their customers the most comprehensive distribution network available to the Nordic and Baltic companies.”
OMX will also be able to service the OMX-listed companies that have a secondary listing in the U.S, U.K or other markets with specific distribution obligations, as well as being able to service their wider global investor and media communications.
The new product structure is not expected to have a significant impact on short term earnings and financial results in OMX.
