Providing stronger accountability

Saab’s shareholders are an important focus in how we develop business strategies and decisions. So we work to sustain their trust.

We keep shareholders informed about company activities, operations and results. Further, the company’s accounting follows internationally established principles and applicable stock exchange requirements.

Saab’s commitments include the following: 

Inside information

Inside information is information which is not available to the public that an investor would consider important in deciding whether to buy or sell a companies securities. Trading securities such as shares or bonds while in possession of insider information is both illegal and unethical. Saab has strict rules for the dissemination of insider information. It is not permitted to share inside information with Saab employees unless they need to know and are aware of their obligations in handling the information. 

Inside information may have considerable value for investors and is subject to legislation aiming at preserving public confidence. These laws prohibit employees, their family members and others living with them from using inside information to trade securities for their own or another’s benefit. Saab
also maintains a current list of employees and others who have access to ”inside information” as required by law. Saab’s board of directors and group management are registered as “insiders” in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations.

The manner in which information may be disclosed is also part of the listing contract with the OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm.

Disclosures

Investors and the public place high expectations on Saab’s disclosures. Saab provides financial information to the public through periodic financial statements and information on business events, such as major orders, strategic acquisitions and key staffing changes, through press releases. Saab’s disclosures comply with the OMX Nordic Exchange listing requirements and Saab’s policy for Investor Relations.
