Stockholm, July 13, 2017 — The Disciplinary Committee of Nasdaq Stockholm has found that CybAero AB (“CybAero” or “the Company”) has breached the Nasdaq First North Rule Book (“the Rule Book”) in several respects and, accordingly, has imposed a fine on CybAero amounting to three annual fees, corresponding to an amount of SEK 341,890.
The Disciplinary Committee has determined that CybAero did not fulfill its disclosure obligations on a number of occasions. For example, information issued by press releases on January 17 and June 2, 2014 about two orders from Chinese customs and AVIC, respectively, is regarded as directly misleading since the particular risks associated with the orders were not disclosed.
As a result of the Company’s breaches of the regulations, the Disciplinary Committee has also made the assessment that CybAero did not have the required organization or the required resources for information disclosure.
The Disciplinary Committee takes a very serious view of the breaches by the Company and finds that the market will have been damaged as a result of these. The Disciplinary Committee has thus decided that the sanction should be a fine corresponding to three annual fees.
A more detailed description of the case and the Disciplinary Committee’s ruling is published on:

About the Disciplinary Committee The role of Nasdaq Stockholm’s Disciplinary Committee is to consider suspicions regarding whether Exchange Members or listed companies have breached the rules and regulations applying on the Exchange. If the Exchange suspects that a member or a listed company has acted in breach of the rules and regulations, the matter is reported to the Disciplinary Committee. Nasdaq Stockholm investigates the suspicions and pursues the matter and the Disciplinary Committee issues a ruling regarding possible sanctions. The sanctions possible for listed companies are a warning, a fine or delisting. The fines that may be imposed range from one to 15 annual fees. The sanctions possible for Exchange Members are a warning, a fine or debarment. Fines paid are not included in the Exchange’s business but are attributed to a foundation supporting research in the securities market. The Disciplinary Committee's Chairman and Deputy Chairman must be lawyers with experience of serving as judges. At least two of the other members of the Committee must have in-depth insight into the workings of the securities market. Members: Former Supreme Court Justice Marianne Lundius (Chairman), Supreme Court Justice Ann-Christine Lindeblad (Deputy Chairman), Company Director Erik Einerth, Company Director Stefan Erneholm, Company Director Anders Oscarsson, Lawyer Wilhelm Lüning, Company Director Jack Junel, MBA Ragnar Boman, MBA Carl Johan Högbom, Lawyer Patrik Marcelius and Authorized Public Accountant Magnus Svensson Henryson.
