mid market

The mid market represents the market segment of Wiener Börse AG that as of 18 June 2007 offers companies with low capital requirements the option of raising capital through the capital market. The mid market contains stocks (also ADCs – Austrian Depositary Certificates) that are admitted to listing on the Official Market or Second Regulated Market or admitted to trading in the Third Market and of those companies agree to fulfill more stringent reporting, quality and disclosure requirements. An essential feature is the function of Capital Market Coach, who supports the company.

The admission criteria and ongoing obligations are specified in the Mid Market Rules (PDF-File 57 KB).
