The Capital Market Coach (CMC) supports companies during the admission to listing or inclusion
on the mid market in trading and is available for assistance afterwards as well. The task of market
making (market making during auction or continuous trading) may be assigned to a member of Wiener
Börse.
The following capital market actors may assume the function of CMC: Investment and
corporate finance service providers, accounting firms and attorneys-at-law. In the event certain
tasks are delegated, the CMC is under the obligation to inform Wiener Börse to whom.
If a company wants to join the mid market, it is obligated to appoint a Capital Market Coach

possible to switch the CMC.
