CORRECTION: NASDAQ OMX Stockholm Disciplinary Committee fines Metro
This is a correction of the announcement from 08:00 21.12.2010 CET. Reason for
the correction:
Metro International S.A. ("Metro"), the international newspaper group, announces
that the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm Disciplinary Committee ("the Committee") has
announced its decision to impose a fine of two times the annual fee paid to
NASDAQ OMX Stockholm corresponding to SEK 0.4 million.
The Committee finds that Metro has committed a breach of the disclosure rules in
the Rulebook for Issuers by giving price sensitive information selectively. In
its ruling, the Committee writes that Metro gave statements in a webcast
presenting its quarterly results on 4 February 2010 and in an interview with
Nyhetsbyrån Direkt on 18 June 2010 which must be considered as forward looking
statements, and should as such have been disclosed as prescribed in the
requirements for such statements. Metro has implemented measures to ensure
adherence with the Rulebook in the future.
