Tips | - Price-sensitive information must be disclosed as soon as the company becomes aware of the essential elements of the matter at hand. If possible, the announcement must be published outside of critical trading hours (before 7:30 am or after the close of trading at 5:40 pm). If, in exceptional cases, the announcement is made during trading hours, SIX Exchange Regulation AG must be informed at least 90 minutes before publication.
- In order to remain capable of acting in the event of an IT problem, the most important recipient addresses (cf. the Directive Ad hoc Publicity) must be stored in a separate system and access to it must be secured.
- A buffer is also recommended in terms of the exact time of publication so as not to come into conflict with the above time limits (90 minutes before the start of trading) in the event of an IT problem.
- The core statements of a media release, even if this involves sensitive or negative facts, must be presented appropriately, meaning in the title, the lead or at the least on the first page.
- The telephone numbers stated in the media releases should be reachable and operational from the time the release is sent.
- Since 2021, ad hoc announcements must be flagged as such, and uploaded to Connexor and saved in an easy to find directory on the website.
