9 Regulatory Environment, Rules and Reporting at SIX
In a Nutshell
Companies listed on SIX have various obligations to provide information to their investors and the public.
These obligations serve to ensure continuous transparency of listed companies for all market participants.
A distinction is made between recurring and event-related obligations.
CONNEXOR Reporting plays a central role when it comes to recurring or regular reporting obligations. CONNEXOR Reporting is the official electronic platform for submitting information to SIX Exchange Regulation AG in order to fulfill regulatory reporting obligations.
The rules governing ad hoc publicity are the most important in terms of the event-related obligations. Ad hoc announcements are also transmitted to SIX Exchange Regulation AG via CONNEXOR Reporting.
In order to comply with ad hoc publicity disclosure obligations, each issuer needs clear rules on responsibilities, including substitute arrangements. The personnel and IT infrastructure must be designed in such a way that an ad hoc announcement can be written, signed off on, and published within the shortest time frame at any time. It is recommended to have back-up scenarios, for example in case of an IT malfunction.
Finally, the issuers are responsible for defining proprietary rules and procedures regarding insider information. The companies are responsible for ensuring that the necessary control mechanisms have been installed and that criminal behavior is detected.
