Combined penalty payments imposed on three natural persons for late notification of managers’ transactions
The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has imposed a combined penalty payment for several omissions on each of Pekka Jalovaara, Jarmo Halonen and Ahti Paananen. They had failed to notify the issuer and the FIN-FSA within the deadline about transactions conducted on their own account. A transaction notification must be made promptly and no later than three business days after the date of the transaction. The late notifications relate to the position of Jalovaara, Halonen and Paananen as managers at BBS-Bioactive Bone Substitutes Plcj.
The notification obligation is based on the EU’s Market Abuse Regulation. The purpose of the regulation is, among other things, to increase transparency regarding transactions conducted by individuals discharging managerial responsibilities at an issuer, prevent market abuse, provide information to investors and facilitate supervisory activities by the authorities.
In these cases, the duration of the delays varied from approximately two months to more than eight months. A combined penalty payment for several omissions, payable to the State, has been imposed on each of the individuals in question. The amounts of the combined penalty payments were based on a comprehensive assessment which took account especially of the nature, extent and duration of the omissions. Cooperation with the FIN-FSA to resolve the situation was taken into consideration as a factor reducing the amounts of the combined penalty payments.

Betydande fastighetsrisker in den finansiella sektorn i Finland – starka buffertar skyddar mot riskerna8.1.2025 08:30:00 EET | Pressmeddelande
Läget och utvecklingen i fastighetsbranschen har väsentlig betydelse för det finansiella läget och riskerna i den finansiella sektorn i Finland, då banker, försäkrare och fastighetsfonder har betydande exponeringar mot fastighetssektorn. En svagare utveckling än väntat i omvärlden och fastighetsbranschen skulle således kunna öka kredit-, placerings- och likviditetsriskerna betydligt. De finansiella aktörerna i Finland har dock buffertar mot fastighetsrisker, vilket stärker aktörernas riskhanteringsförmåga.
