Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB, series A
Atlas Copco AB, series A

The launching of the Swedish Shares List will not affect the listing of the shares of TeliaSonera and Nordea. They will remain on the Main List of the Helsinki Exchanges.
The trading with Swedish equities will be carried out as 'other organized trading' as regulated in the Finnish Securities Market Act. Thereby, the listed companies´ duty to disclose will follow Swedish legislation and the Rules of the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
The investors will be able to get information on the listed companies via the internet on the companies' home pages as well as through other public sources of information on Swedish listed companies.
Market information on the transactions made with Swedish equities on Helsinki Exchanges will be distributed in the same manner as with Finnish listed equities.
A direct link between the HEX-operated Finnish Central Securities Depository, APK, and the Swedish central securities depository, VPC, was opened in June. The link enables barrier-free cross-border portfolio management and efficient clearing and settlement management.
All members of the Helsinki Exchanges automatically have the right to trade on the Swedish Shares List.
Trading will take place in euro, and the trading hours will be same as for Finnish equities.
