FINANCIAL PRODUCT TRADING

NZX’s Financial Products Trading Policy restricts directors and employees trading in NZX’s securities in blackout periods around the release of NZX’s financial results. The policy also requires directors and employees to obtain the General Counsel’s consent before trading in NZX’s securities.

Because NZX is a licensed market operator and a fund manager, the policy also requires senior managers, employees involved in the supervision of NZX’s markets and certain employees involved in NZX’s funds management operations to obtain the NZ RegCo CEO’s consent before trading in financial products quoted on a market operated by NZX (other than NZX’s securities).
