Statements to the press, prior to the publication of an announcement
NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen has reprimanded GourmetBryggeriet A/S, because the
company's management has leaked information to the press, which could be
understood in such a way that an agreement had been made, with a company
admitted to trading, and that the company's management gave information to the
press concerning the fact that later on that day an announcement would be
released, which could contribute to uncertainty in the market, without having
the information published simultaneously, in accordance with the First North
Rulebook rule 4.1 (a).
The complete decision is available in Decisions & Statements on the following

In order to ensure more transparency about the decisions from the exchange, the
exchange decided, on 1 July 2008, to publish decisions made by the exchange
concerning a reprimand or a fine, with the identity of the issuer. Sanctions of
rule breaches on First North shows from the First North Rulebook rule 7.2.1 (e)
and rule 7.1 (c). If a company, admitted to trading on First North, breaches the
rules, the exchange can give a reprimand to the company, which the exchange
shall publish. If a Certified Adviser breaches the rules, the exchange can give
a reprimand to the Certified Adviser, which the exchange can publish.
