The Oslo Børs Shares & Voting Rights assists investors in complying with their regulatory obligations when it comes to mandatory and voluntary offers and disclosures of large shareholdings.
Important changes in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and the Stock Exchange Act came into force 1 January 2008. The changes affect areas such as mandatory and voluntary offers and disclosure of large shareholdings.
The definition used for number of shares is as follows:
- For Norwegian companies (registered with a ‘NO’ prefixed ISIN code): the number of shares registered in The Register of Business Enterprises*
- For foreign companies (registered outside Norway): the total number of shares in the company regardless of which security registry the shares are registered
The number of shares is updated on the basis of public disclosures from the listed companies.
