Transparency StandardsTailored access to the capital market |
With different transparency standards, the stock exchange uses the scope available to it to create tailored legal frameworks for access to the capital market – beyond the market segments regulated by public law. Issuers in General Standard and Prime Standard fulfill the highest European transparency requirements and gain all the advantages of a full listing. In Prime Standard, issuers must fulfill international transparency requirements that go beyond those of General Standard. Entry Standard provides small-to-medium-sized companies, in particular, with an easy, fast and cost-efficient way to include their shares in exchange trading. Domestic and international companies whose shares are included in exchange trading in the Open Market for the first time and are subject to less stringent formal requirements can benefit from their inclusion in the First Quotation Board.  Since 17 April 2007 the new Listing and Trading Segment Deutsche Börse REITs offers companies with REIT status a first class entry point to the European capital market. |
