Funkwerk AG is committed to a high level of transparency and open communication with its shareholders and the public. The Securities Trading Act contains regulations on the publication of confidential, non-public information, ensuring that all shareholders and the public receive relevant information quickly and simultaneously. Funkwerk AG can only implement the legal provisions if all employees of the Funkwerk Group cooperate.
This policy sets out the behaviour for external communication, supplements the Insider Trading Policy, and must be observed by all employees to avoid legal violations.
Confidentiality must be maintained regarding all internal matters of the Funkwerk Group that have not been publicly announced. This includes, for example, details of organisation, business, research and development processes, and internal reporting figures.
All external enquiries, which do not concern publicly known internal matters of the Funkwerk Group, must be forwarded to the Management Board or the Investor Relations department. Only these parties are authorised to communicate non-publicly known information externally.
Advertising for our products and services is fully permitted. Product information, data sheets, and trade fair appearances are in the public domain. Company data published in business and quarterly reports, annual financial statements, ad hoc announcements, press releases, or other company brochures can also be passed on by any employee at any time.
Information about business developments that have not yet been published is generally confidential and not intended for external communication.
Names of visitors to the premises, which could trigger speculation about Funkwerk's strategic plans, are to be treated confidentially.
Business matters should not be discussed in places where third parties can overhear, such as public lifts, lobbies, restaurants, on aeroplanes, in taxis, etc.
Exercise caution when using mobile phones in public or when speaking loudly, if third parties can overhear you in your surroundings.
Be careful when using email, as this communication medium can easily reach unauthorised recipients.
False or misleading information must not be communicated either directly or indirectly, internally or externally.
When being entered into the insider list, the utmost discretion must be observed regarding the disclosure of any received insider information, both internally to colleagues and externally to third parties. The information obtained within the scope of the insider transaction is strictly confidential and neither intended for internal nor for external communication.
Rumours and speculation concerning the Funkwerk Group must be reported immediately to a member of the Investor Relations department.
This list is illustrative and not exhaustive. Each individual case must be assessed in accordance with the general primary rule. In case of doubt, please contact the Investor Relations department.
