As of 1 April 2025, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (the Norwegian FSA) is the competent authority for the Norwegian take-over regime and the supervisory authority for the ongoing disclosure obligation and delayed disclosure of inside information and supervision of share-buy-backs and stabilisation under the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), taking over from Euronext Oslo Børs.

Norwegian Depositary Receipts ("NDRs") have been available as financial instruments in Norway since 2020. NDRs are a cost efficient and practical alternative to shares for accessing the Norwegian equity market.

We are pleased to announce that Wikborg Rein has assisted Svelland Capital (UK) Ltd and the Edmond de Rothschild Group with the secondary listing on Euronext Oslo Børs of the Euronext Amsterdam listed EdR Certified Origin Physical Gold PLC, which issues gold securities structured as Exchange Traded Certificates (ETCs).
