About First North:

A company can join NASDAQ OMX First North regardless of the country of origin or industry sector. A key factor for success is that there is investor interest for the company's share.

First North is regulated as a multilateral trading facility, operated by the different exchanges within NASDAQ OMX Nordic. It does not have the legal status as an EU-regulated market. Companies at First North are subject to the rules of First North and not the legal requirements for admission to trading on a regulated market. The risk in such an investment may be higher than on the main market.
