The decision to list a company is made by Stockholmsbörsen´s Listing Committee. A member of the committee shall not participate in handling a case if the member faces a conflict of interest, that is, if there is any circumstance in which the member´s impartiality could be challenged.
Kerstin Hessius, President of Stockholmsbörsen, is a member of the Listing Committee. Prior to the Committee´s handling of the case regarding the listing of Intrum Justitia, Kerstin Hessius announced that she had a conflict of interest because her husband, Johan Hessius, had been a deputy member of the Board of Intrum Justitia. Accordingly, she did not participate in the Listing Committee´s handling of the case.
The investigation regarding the erroneous financial reporting at Intrum Justitia´s British subsidiary is handled entirely by Stockholmsbörsen´s surveillance function.
