NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen has reached a decision in the case concerning possible disclosure of price sensitive information involving A.P. Møller – Mærsk and SEB Enskilda.
NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen has towards A.P. Møller - Mærsk found no basis for concluding, that the company did pass price sensitive information and hence the exchange did not find reason to conclude that the company did breach the rules of the exchange.
However, the exchange does raise a strong criticism of the fact that a meeting between a person with responsibility for Investor Relations, having potential access to price sensitive information, and a professional analyst could result in such misunderstandings that a market update contained wordings and information that could convey to the reader the understanding that non-public price sensitive information was disclosed.
