Insider Issues

F-Secure complies with insider legislation, including the EU Market Abuse Regulation “MAR”, the rules and regulations of the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority, as well as Nasdaq Helsinki’s Guidelines for Insiders. F-Secure has established its own insider policy to complement the regulation and guidelines above.

F-Secure maintains a list of all persons who have regular access to the company’s financial information. Due to the sensitive nature of financial information, persons having access to financial information before publication of an interim financial report or a year-end report shall be subject to a thirty (30) day trading restriction prior to publication of such a report (“Closed Period”).
In addition, F-Secure maintains a project-specific insider list of persons that have access to inside information that has been subject to delaying of disclosure in accordance with MAR.

F-Secure has decided not to establish a permanent insider list. All persons who have access to project-specific inside information shall be included in a project-specific insider list.

Persons discharging managerial responsibilities at F-Secure comprise members of the Board of Directors, the CEO and other members of the Leadership Team. These persons have a duty to notify F-Secure and the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority of every transaction on their own account relating to financial instruments of F-Secure within three business days. The company publishes these notifications as a stock exchange release in accordance with MAR. All releases published on managers’ transactions are available on the company’s website.

Closed window

All persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them are prohibited from trading in F-Secure’s financial instruments 30 days prior to the publication of financial reports. Additionally, project-based insiders are never entitled to trade in shares, options, or other securities during the duration of an insider project before F-Secure has notified the insider that the trading restriction has ended.

Silent period

The silent period starts 30 days before the publication of the company's result. No meetings or other discussions with the investor community or the media will be arranged during this period.
