On Jun. 27, POL EXC set new rules for NC Focus qualifying companies.
POL EXC introduced new rules for qualifying companies for the NC Focus segment.
Main Points
The changes consist in increasing the weight of market criteria and criteria supporting liquidity, shortening the time after which debutants can be qualified to this segment.
Increasing the required level of capitalization, introducing the criterion of the minimum level of free float and the obligation to trade at least 50% of all ordinary bearer shares.
The changes' aim is to support the liquidity of companies present in this segment and increase its elite status compared to other segments of the NewConnect market.
Companies whose shares are classified in the NC Focus segment will have the benefit of a coverage by the stock exchange's Analytical Coverage Support Program (PWPA).
The fifth edition of this Program will start at the beginning of Jul. 2025 with main goal to increase the availability of analyses for medium-sized, less liquid listed companies.
I.e., listed on the WSE Main Market and for the NC Focus segment and bond issuers from the Catalyst market, and consequently enable informed investment decisions.
Based on a reliable, independent source of information about the market and issuer.
Effectiveness
The first qualification according to the new rules will take place on Sep. 26, 2025.
