We are delighted to be hosted by Q4 for this webinar to discuss the need for clear and consistent communications during this period of crisis
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is without precedent. Many listed companies’ ability to give accurate guidance to the market is substantially effected or even made impossible in light of the unpredictable developments. The Danish Supervisory Authorities (Finanstilsynet) has opened up for the possibility of suspending guidance during these extraordinary times. But it also opens up for a lot of other questions and considerations on how to keep the market properly informed whether or not guidance has been suspended. Obviously, there are circumstances where guidance should be suspended, but on balance it leaves investors with no “guidance” and possible quite abrupt challenges to the Company’s important stakeholders during the time of suspension. Is there an alternative? Suspension in certain segments, wider ranges for guidance or ‘sunset’ provisions related to suspension, if any.
We have invited the below panel to discuss the difficult choice many listed companies are facing. There will be time and opportunity to ask questions during this webinar.
