OMX launches Company News Service
Today OMX's Nordic and Baltic information service, Company News Service, goes
live. The new service is tailor-made for companies on the OMX Nordic Exchange
and will improve their ability to communicate globally with investors and the
media.
The service will serve as a portal to information about companies on the Nordic
Exchange. By bringing together and integrating information from the Nordic and
Baltic capital markets, it is intended to benefit media, investors and
companies.
Company News Service is built on OMX's extensive expertise in handling
information and distributing it to the financial market. Distribution will
include more than 60,000 professional investor terminals, almost 3,000 traders
globally, and aim at a high proportion of private investors as well as the key
global and local media. All companies, regardless of size, disclosure needs,
and communications strategy will be able to use the new system to reach target
groups locally as well as internationally.
OMX's Company News Service addresses the EU's Transparency Directive as well as
the need for efficient financial communications. The EU Directive includes new
rules for distribution of price sensitive information. The final requirements
of the Directive will be implemented in all of the countries by the end of the
year.
