Document background
The Stock Exchange Agreement is a fundamental document required when a company seeks to list its securities on a Danish stock exchange. It serves as the primary contractual framework governing the relationship between the listing company and the exchange, typically Nasdaq Copenhagen. The agreement is essential for companies seeking public trading of their securities in Denmark and must comply with both Danish and EU regulatory requirements, including the Danish Capital Markets Act, Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), and MiFID II. The document covers crucial aspects such as listing requirements, trading rules, disclosure obligations, compliance monitoring, and fee structures. It is particularly relevant in the context of IPOs, secondary listings, or transfers of listing venue within Denmark. The agreement must reflect current Danish market practices and regulatory standards while ensuring alignment with broader European securities trading frameworks.
