Insider management
The Company maintains project-specific insider lists for individual insider information, listing those individuals who have access to the same insider information. The term project refers to confidential, identifiable set of measures or an arrangement prepared by the Company, which in the Company’s view is inside information, and the disclosure of which the Company has decided to postpone in accordance with its information policy. The company assesses, on a case-by-case basis, whether the prepared case or arrangement should be considered a project.
Project-specific insiders are persons who are involved in the preparation of a project or who are aware of a project considered confidential which, if carried out, could affect the value of the security. Into the list of projects are recorded those persons who, on the basis of a work or other agreement, receive inside information about the project, as well as other persons to whom the Company provides inside information about the identified project (such as the Company’s advisors, authorities and the unlisted company that is the counterparty to the transaction).
Insider lists are not public. However, information from insider lists is available to the Financial Supervisory Authority for supervision of securities markets.

Persons recorded in the project list are prohibited from trading in the company’s securities until the project expires or is made public.
Trading by a person in management position or another person subject to a trading restriction during a closed window may be permitted in certain situations by decision of the Board of Directors. The prohibition of the misuse of inside information applies when deviating from the trade restriction.
