NewConnect
Key Events
On 26 June, new regulations of the NewConnect market came into force in implementation of the market reform announced early this year aimed at enhancement of the quality of the market. As a result, the requirements for issuers on the market were made stricter and a segmentation of issuers was introduced in order to improve their transparency.
The segmentation of NewConnect companies first announced on 27 June 2012 allows for classification of companies in segments NC Lead (the leading companies segment, as before) as well as NewConnect High Liquidity Risk and Super High Liquidity Risk. The HLR segment includes companies whose free-flow capitalisation is less than PLN 1 million. Companies whose average share price is less than PLN 0.10 or share price volatility is more than 10 percent (quarterly average in either case) are classified in SHLR. The SHLR segment also includes shares of companies in bankruptcy. Classification of a company in the HLR segment entails removal of its shares from NewConnect indices while classification in the SHLR segment additionally results in transfer of the issuer’s shares to the single-price auction system.
