Corporate actions

Euroclear Finland Ltd has a role in corporate actions relating to securities incorporated in the book-entry system and updates the number of each issued accordingly under an agreement with the company or its issuer agent. Often a corporate action requires an entry in the Trade Register, and this must be taken into account in the execution schedule.   

We undertake the actions required relating to security owners’ book-entry accounts together with the issuer agent and the account operators. The mechanism of executing a corporate action in the book-entry system depends on the schedule, the technology with which the action is executed and the number of shareholdings subject to the corporate action.

A forthcoming corporate action should be discussed with us before it is announced.

Issuer agent
An issuer agent is an issuer’s manager, who acts in the Equity market system and to whom has been assigned special responsibilities and who has been accepted by Euroclear Finland. An issuer can appoint one issuer agent per corporate action.

An issuer agent has to have a status of an account operator or a status of an agent of an account operator accepted by Euroclear Finland.
