asknet demonstrates usual transparency in new Basic Board segment of Deutsche Börse Frankfurt

Deutsche Börse Frankfurt has reorganized the open market quality segments effective as of March 1, 2017. The Entry Standard, previously home to asknet shares, is to be replaced by the Scale segment and the Basic Board. With the Scale segment specially created for stock corporations with higher market capitalization than currently offered by asknet, asknet AG shares will be traded on the Basic Board from March 1, 2017. The company has always exceeded the requirements in the segment in which its shares are traded. asknet will also voluntary exceed the requirements for the new Basic Board quality segment on the Deutsche Börse Frankfurt open market and continue to publish figures for the first three and nine months of the year. asknet has been working with a research specialist for a number of years already with the aim of increasing transparency with shareholders and has been publishing reports on directors’ dealings on a voluntarily basis for some ten years. As a result, the new requirements which entered into force as part of the Market Abuse Regulation on July 3, 2016 do not represent any kind of challenge for the company.

asknet AG will continue to pursue an active investor relations strategy and participate in investor and shareholder events moving forward. Tobias Kaulfuss, CEO of asknet AG, has already presented the company to the Frankfurt financial market at the DVFA spring conference and the equity forum this year. Regular roadshows round off asknet’s investor relations activities. The company will once again present itself to a broad range of investors in 2017 with the Deutsche Börse Frankfurt equity forum in the fall.
