The Information Disclosed
Stock exchange releases report on matters and events that are significant in relation to the company’s size and scope of operations and that are deemed to have an essential influence on the stock price.
Tecnotree reports such orders it has received from its customers as are worth at least EUR 1.7 million, if the customer authorises this. Tecnotree may report on two or more normal orders in the same release, if these deals are deemed important with regard to the development of the company. In such cases there may be a delay between the orders and the publication.
The company reports corporate acquisitions when a letter of intent has been signed, if an agreement is regarded as probable. In other cases, the company will not publish a release until the final agreement has been signed.
The company releases information about appointments if they relate to changes in the Management Board of the Group or to the Board of Directors. A stock exchange release is published about significant changes in the structure or organisation of the Group.
The company issues a profit warning if, in its estimation, the trend in its financial position, the earnings forecast, or its prospects have changed fundamentally from those published previously. The company always publishes a stock exchange release if it issues a profit warning.
