Mission

Investor Relations shall provide the public with accurate, comprehensive and timely information to form a good basis for making decisions related to the valuation and trade of the Smartoptics share. The aim of providing such information is to reduce investors’ risk and the volatility of the Smartoptics share, contributing to a pricing of the share that reflects the company’s underlying values and future prospects.

Information

Smartoptics main communication channels are stock exchange releases, press releases and its own web pages (https://www.smartoptics.com/) in order to secure that the same information is made available to all audiences simultaneously. Although Smartoptics holds regular meetings for analysts, investors, journalists and employees, all material new information is first published on the stock exchange and on Smartoptics’ web pages. Smartoptics will provide a consistent level of information regardless of whether the news is positive or negative.

Authorizations

Smartoptics’ spokespersons to the financial markets (investors, analysts and financial media) are the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or others authorized by these. Questions from investors and financial analysts to other Smartoptics employees shall be referred to the Chief Financial Officer.

Reporting dates and silent periods

Smartoptics publishes quarterly financial results according to its financial calendar. The calendar is published annually on Smartoptics’ web page and to the stock exchange. Ahead of announcing its quarterly results, Smartoptics exerts caution with regards to information communicated externally. The company’s representatives will during this period not comment on matters related to the company’s general financial performance for the current or previous, non-disclosed quarter to minimize the risk of unequal information in the marketplace. The so-called “silent period” starts the first day after quarter end and lasts until the quarterly report is published.

Compliance

SmartOptics shall comply with relevant regulations for companies listed on the Euronext Growth and the EU’s Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). Smartoptics complies with the Oslo Børs Code of Practice for IR of 1 July 2019.
