NGM has obstructed FI's supervision of the operations in several ways. Major owners, board members and the CEO have all been involved. Furthermore, the company has not been able to maintain a functioning and independent market surveillance. It has given special treatment to its own parent company, which is detrimental to the confidence in the securities market. Through its actions, NGM has squandered FI's trust and confidence to operate an exchange.
NGM has six months to terminate its operations both as an exchange and MTF. Trading can continue in all financial instruments in the meantime. During the winding-up period, the companies at NGM Equity shall be considered as listed companies until an alternative solution has been found.
FI has decided to stop trading in shares in NGM Holding in order to provide the market with time to gather information on the withdrawal.
FI has also decided that Bo Lundevall, personally or through Investment Stångsundet and Contact Marketing, is no longer allowed to exercise a significant influence over NGM Holding.
