For more than one and a half years we have been able to offer the listed companies to webcast their presentations through our stockwise.tv, and starting from Tuesday we will make a TV studio available for these presentations. It is becoming more and more important for the listed companies to communicate to and with the financial markets in order to be exposed more in the awareness of the investors. Sound and picture are factors that are particularly important to make often difficult messages comprehensible, and the TV media is a natural development of teleconferences.
Senior vice president Peter Belling says: " The vision of our website www.xcse.dk is that it is a digital meeting point between the Danish listed companies and the investors. This is why we have currently expanded the extent of the information from the listed companies. For the purpose of supporting the companies' investor relations activities further, we have established a TV studio from which the companies can present their accounts, strategies and so forth to investors and analysts in an easy and cost-effective way. The companies have been given better terms to work under as our communication channel - StockWise.tv now has its own studio here at the Exchange with all the technical facilities. As the companies will begin using StockWise.tv more, we will be contributing to increasing the equal distribution of the information, which may help democratise the decision making process, which will benefit private investors in particular".
On Tuesday, NeuroSearch will be the first company to transmit from the TV studio via StockWise.tv, where NeuroSearch will submit its accounts for the first quarter of 2002.
Henrik Moltke, who is responsible for NeuroSearch's investor relations activities says: "It is important for us to communicate as closely and directly as possible, and this is most feasibly done by using sound and picture as opposed to the written word alone. Furthermore, it is a good signal that we can submit our messages through a channel which is made available by the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The framework increases credibility and helps emphasise the seriousness of the messages."
See the introduction to NeuroSearch's presentation with CFO Flemming Pedersen now, and follow the actual presentation live on Tuesday 21 May at 15.00 on the Internet on the Exchange's website www.stockwise.tv.
