Insider issues
Outokumpu's insider rules are based on and comply with the Guidelines for Insiders issued by the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki stock exchange. Permanent insiders with a duty to declare consist of members of the company's Board of
Directors, the Auditor in Charge, the CEO and his deputy, and other members of the Group Executive Committee.
Outokumpu maintains a public register of permanent insiders who have the duty to declare. Employees of the Group who
receive inside information on a regular basis as a result of their position or the duties they perform are registered in a
non-public register of permanent company-specific insiders. Permanent insiders must not purchase or sell securities
issued by the company in the 14 days prior to the publication of interim reports or the company's annual accounts (the
so-called "closed window").
Separate, non-public, project-specific insider registers are maintained for insider projects. Persons defined as projectspecific
insiders are those who, in the course of their duties in connection with a project, receive information concerning
the Group which, if or when realised, is likely to have a significant effect on the value of the company's publicly-traded
securities.
Outokumpu's corporate general counsel is responsible for the coordination and supervision of insider issues. For up-todate
information on holdings by Outokumpu's permanent insiders who have a duty to declare see "Permanent insiders"
