Updated Communications and Disclosure Policy shared by OP Financial Group, OP Corporate Bank plc and OP Mortgage Bank
Based on the decisions by the Executive Board of OP Cooperative and the boards of directors of OP Corporate Bank plc and OP Mortgage Bank, OP Financial Group has updated its Group-level Communications and Disclosure Policy adopted on 16 December 2014.
This Policy update is based, for example, on the changed business names announced on 15 March 2016 and on legislative amendments. In addition to the abovementioned alterations, the most significant change relates updating the communication media in such a way that op.fi will serve as the main media for providing up-to-date information. Services on pohjola.fi (pohjola.com) previously serving as the other main media will gradually be integrated as part of op.fi. In the first stage of this change, op.fi and pohjola.fi will co-exist.
The updated Communications and Disclosure Policy is attached and is also available at op.fi > OP Financial Group > OP Financial Group > Corporate Governance > Communications and Disclosure Policy. The Policy will take effect immediately.
