New segments on NewConnect

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the 23.06.2016 dn the Warsaw Stock Exchange adopted Resolution No. 646 / 2016 on segmentation rynkuNewConnect and the rules and procedure of classification of these segments. The decision confirms the interest in the management of the Warsaw Stock Exchange NewConnect market and attempts to improve. There should therefore be a concern that the new leadership WSE does not attach importance to the market for small companies.

Surely, the intention of the resolution is to show which companies are worthy of investment, and not only in the financial and economic sphere but also in compliance with the obligations of information and accuracy of reporting. Since the beginning of the end of May WSE companies excluded 12 3 including only passed on a regulated market. A lot of penalties and the suspension was due to the failure to execute or to communicate its periodic reports. In the resolution, the company, which encountered again on the penalty kwaliifшkuja not the most attractive segment

On the other hand, the evaluation criteria established companies and assigned to the segment NewConnect Focus require annual growth in sales, profit and dividend payment. The company rapidly increasing market share or investments will not enter the NewConnect and the Focus can be an interesting investment. What is true is required only 5 7 criteria. Not paid attention to the liquidity of the shares. The resolution comes into force on July 4 2016 year. Time will verify the correctness of the criteria. We believe that the time will force further changes.

The adoption of the resolution is an action in the right direction as far as it will encourage investors to return to the market, we will soon see. Below the most important parts of the resolution 646 your evaluation.
