Responsibility for investor relations activities
The Chief Executive Officer of the company has the overall responsibility for the management of the company’s Investor Relations activities.
Principles of Communication
Brødrene A & O Johansen A/S’s financial communication with stakeholders takes place mainly through company announcements.
The company announcements are either scheduled, such as annual or interim reports, routine such as information on insider trading, or ad hoc announcements. Brødrene A & O Johansen A/S publishes all information which is considered relevant to the share price according to current legislation.
All news considered price sensitive is published through statutory company announcements before they are forwarded to other groups. The announcements are published in Danish through Intrado GlobeNewswire, and at the same time they are, to a relevant extent, forwarded to Finantilsynet (the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority). Afterwards, the announcements will as soon as possible be available on Brødrene A & O Johansen A/S’s website in both Danish and English.
Current financial statements will be sent directly to stakeholders, if they have stated their email addresses on Brødrene A & O Johansen A/S’s website under the function called ‘Subscribe to AO’s company announcements’, or if their email addresses have been listed in the company's register of shareholders.
At the company’s annual general meeting, shareholders may submit questions to the Board of Directors and exercise their influence by voting on issues on the agenda.
In a period of four weeks before scheduled announcements of annual or interim reports, Brødrene A & O Johansen A/S does not comment on any information relating to financial results or expectations, and the company’s management will refrain from holding investor meetings and the like in this period. The company will also be reluctant to arrange meetings in periods where it is dealing with matters that could result in decisions that are to be announced to the public.
