Nasdaq First North

Nasdaq First North is regulated as a multilateral trading facility, operated by the different exchanges within Nasdaq Nordic. It does not have legal status as an EU regulated market. Companies on Nasdaq First North are subject to the rules of Nasdaq First North and not the legal requirements for admission to trading on a regulated market. The risk in such an investment may be higher than on the main market.

Certified Adviser

Landsbankinn Corporate Finance has been Alvotech’s Certified Advisor in the preparation and execution of the listing. Landsbankinn holds an operating licence to operate as a commercial bank under the Icelandic Act on Financial Undertakings, No. 161/2002, and is regulated by the Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland. Landsbankinn is approved by Nasdaq Iceland as a First North Certified Adviser. Alvotech has chosen to be fully exchange-monitored after admittance of the shares to trading, meaning that it will not have a Certified Adviser on a continuous basis.
