The company’s insider administration complies with the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and Nasdaq Helsinki’s rules, which are supplemented by the company’s own insider guidelines. The Company’s insider guidelines apply to the company, Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs) within the company, and those employees of the Company who have access to inside information or who have otherwise become aware of inside information. In addition, these insider guidelines apply on a contractual basis to other persons acting for or on behalf of Auroora when they perform tasks through which they have access to inside information.
Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs) within the company and any permanent insiders defined by the company may not carry out transactions involving Auroora’s financial instruments, either directly or indirectly, for their own account or for the account of a third party during a closed period (closed window)., which always begins 30 days prior to the publication date of the company’s financial statements release, half-year financial report and the company’s regularly published three- and nine-month interim reports, and ends at the time of publication of the group’s interim report, half-year financial report or financial statements release (closed period).
In accordance with the insider guidelines of Nasdaq Helsinki, Auroora determines that persons who have participated in the preparation, drafting, review or disclosure of the company’s financial reports may not carry out transactions involving Auroora’s financial instruments for their own account or for the account of a third party during the closed period referred to in the preceding paragraph.
The company’s Chief Financial Officer acts as the insider officer and is responsible for insider administration duties. He or she is also responsible for maintaining insider lists. Practical tasks relating to insider lists and the management of inside information are carried out by a person designated by the insider officer.
The Chief Financial Officer or a deputy designated by him or her is responsible for managing the trading restriction applicable to management and closely associated persons, as well as the notification and disclosure obligations relating to transactions.
The Chief Financial Officer of the company or a person appointed by him/her prepares the insider lists and keeps them up to date in electronic form. In addition to project-specific insider lists relating to individual items of inside information (project-specific insider lists), Auroora may prepare a supplementary section covering permanent insiders (permanent insiders). The permanent insider list includes only those persons who, due to their duties, are deemed to have continuous access to all inside information concerning the company. Auroora enters in a project-specific insider list those persons who have inside information relating to the project, including any external advisers and experts. The insider lists are not public and are not made available for public inspection.
Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs) within the company and their closely associated persons must notify all transactions carried out for their own account in respect of the company’s shares, debt instruments or derivatives or other related financial instruments to the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA). The notification obligation applies to transactions carried out on any trading venue or outside trading venues. Auroora maintains a list of persons discharging managerial responsibilities and of persons and entities closely associated with them.
Notification of a related-party transaction must be made without delay and no later than the third business day after the date of the transaction. Notifications must be made to the company and to the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority in accordance with the instructions issued by them.
Auroora has a whistleblowing channel through which it is possible to submit anonymous reports of suspected breaches of financial market regulations and provisions.
In accordance with MAR, Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities at Auroora and their close associated persons must notify the company and the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority of any transactions they have made with Auroora’s financial instruments.
The notifications shall be made to Auroora Group Plc and the FIN-FSA promptly and no later than three business days after the date of the transaction (T+3).
