INVESTOR RELATIONS POLICY
PURPOSE
Kongsberg Automotive (KA) seeks to engage in an open and continuous dialogue with the financial market. The company’s Investor Relations (IR) Policy covers guidelines for the company’s contact with shareholders and the financial community.
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
According to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and the rules and procedures of the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE), KA is obligated to ensure equal treatment of financial market participants and equal opportunities to access relevant information. The main communication channels are stock exchange releases, press releases and the company's website.
KA publishes financial results on a quarterly basis according to its financial calendar which is published annually on the company’s website and on the OSE. KA will publish all information that is of significant value to the company as soon as possible, unless publication could damage/harm the company's interests or those of its partners, in which case, the company should consider whether the conditions for deferred publication may apply.
Daily communication with the financial market is handled by KA’s Head of Investor Relations and/or CFO and CEO. The dialogue with the market takes place primarily through annual reports, quarterly reports, meetings with investors and analysts, participation in important financial industry conferences, and capital markets events organized by KA, and through the company's website.
All information will be provided in English.
CONTRACT ANNOUNCEMENTS
When announcing contract awards, the company applies the following rules/threshold:
Contract with an order intake of EUR 3 million or above in estimated annual revenue shall be announced through the OSE.
In special circumstances, even if the contract does not meet the EUR 3 million estimated annual revenue threshold, but is of strategic importance to the company, for eg: contract concerning new product or technology, new customer, and/or first contract in a new region, the company holds the right to announce news through OSE notifications.
KA will also publish ‘Quarterly Award Announcement’ each quarter.
SILENT PERIOD
KA shall observe a silent period four weeks prior to the publishing of quarterly financial results. KA does not attend any investor- or analyst meetings, or financial conferences during these periods.
POINT OF CONTACT
Head of Investor Relations and/or CFO and CEO are responsible for maintaining and communicating with KA’s financial stakeholders—retail and equity investors as well as bond holders. All inquiries from financial stakeholders regarding the company must be directed to KA’s Head of Investor Relations and/or CFO and CEO.
COMPLIANCE
KA shall comply with applicable legislation and rules for companies listed on the OSE and the Oslo Børs Code of Practice for IR of 2021.
IR PRINCIPLES
Reporting to the market and contact with shareholders, investors and analysts outside general meetings are based on the following principles:
All price-sensitive information must be provided simultaneously to all market participants. This implies that statements to the stock exchange and press releases will be distributed through Oslo Børs (Oslo Stock Exchange) and to external recipients through external channels, as well as published on the KA’s website.
All presentations—quarterly and annual results, capital markets days or seminars, will be held in English and will be made public either on the same day or immediately after the events have been held. English presentations will also be available through conference calls/webcasts to ensure a broader audience. All roadshow presentations will be published on KA’s website.
Presentations used in meetings with individual investors shall not be materially different from those previously presented on KA’s company website. Nor should individual investors be given verbal information that is not shared with the overall market.
