Insider Management
Olvi plc complies with the insider guidelines of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd valid at each time. Furthermore, the Board of Directors of Olvi plc has confirmed the company’s own insider guidelines that supplement those issued by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd ( Guidelines for Insiders). The guidelines clarify and supplement the practices of the company and the insiders and serve as a practical tool for handling insider issues. Each insider is always personally responsible for ensuring that his or her actions comply with the regulations given in law, the Financial Supervision Authority’s standard and the insider guidelines.
