    According to the Finnish Act on Trading in Financial Instruments, a stock exchange shall have transparent and non-discretionary rules and procedures that provide for fair and orderly trading as well as objective criteria for the efficient execution of orders. The stock exchange rules and any amendments thereto shall be confirmed by the Ministry of Finance if the rules fulfill the requirements and are deemed likely to ensure reliable and equal trading. Through the issuer rules, Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd carries out the conditions which are set forth by the legislator.

The trading is arranged on the Official list and on the regulated market (Prelist and SPAC segment) in accordance with the Nordic Member Rules.
