NORWAY - New listing opportunities with Oslo Axess

In May, new listing requirements will be implemented on the Oslo stock exchange. Oslo stock exchange received the concession to establish the new market place in 2006, responding to the need in the market for additional listing opportunities besides the main listing and the OTC-market. With the establishment of Oslo Axess, the listing rules for the main listing (OSBX) will be stricter. Additionally, the main listing and the SMB-list will from now on be one listing.
