MEETING NOTICE AND CLAIM OF THE VOLATILITY

E 'to the shareholders that the legal system places restrictions for the protection and the obligation of reporting financial information that the company must perform.


I draw inspiration from what was written by Elizabeth Corvi on shareholders in his book "Business Communication and Investor Relations" to add some of my considerations.


Shareholders are stakeholders apparently homogeneous and require different information needs. Moving it to their sub, you can find two different classes of interests: the majority shareholders and minority shareholders. To

majority shareholders compete the fundamental role of establishing and implementing business strategies, therefore, they are also responsible for producing most of the business information issued. It follows then that the need for information by the controlling shareholders is almost irrelevant to the political viability of communication, both when the majority shareholders of the company and the leaders do not match (as in the public company, designed as large-cap) is for informational asymmetries that may occur that facilitate the top management of the company, as the majority shareholders, play a special role, they can always request and obtain additional information.

The extraction of the majority shareholders may be financial or industrial nature.

  • Shareholders Financial are those who fall into the category of institutional investors (investment banking, venture capital, funds, etc). If the shareholders' financial investment policy will be long-term will not create problems of information asymmetry as the objectives of the company and the objectives of its shareholders will tend to coincide as these are aimed at maximizing the value of economic capital. If the investment policy will be rather short period, the shareholder will be seeking as much information as possible.
The financial disclosure required by shareholders will be an informative and highly technical specialist with a high rate of information flow.

  • are industrial shareholders, who generally through an industrial enterprise as another control group logic.
Again communication is important for the minority shareholders and not those of the majority.

The Minority Shareholders
may instead express very different information needs. Even among the minority shareholders can find categories of shareholders, financial or industrial action, but mostly you will find small shareholders or HNWIs.
For this class of shareholders, will be relevant to the investment philosophy, which characterized the distinction between shareholders more or less interested in the affairs of companies (shareholders active and dormant shareholders), and between shareholders with long-term vision (drawers) and shareholder-speculators .

Given that the financial reporting to shareholders, whether majority, minority or to any third party should always be set to greater transparency, when the minority shareholder plays an active role, it is essential by those who control the company, reports set of absolute transparency and honesty in order to obtain not only consent, but cooperation and trust.
Shareholders' d ormienti "(or cassettes) will be more interested in profitability will be limited in time and therefore to receive dividends or be attracted to the Capital Gains achievable by higher values \u200b\u200bof the shares they held over time. When their goal rather than short term they fall into the category of minority shareholders, so-called "speculators" thus manifesting a request for confidential information on corporate developments to exploit opportunities in Borsa nals.
While speculation is useful to provide liquidity to Tit stock oils,
excessive speculation can lead to deviant phenomena that can produce negative effects for the company over the long term.
Therefore, while the demand for information from shareholders speculators will not be "interesting" for the company, the information needs of shareholders' sleeping-drawer "should be indulged and satisfied by the establishing a direct relationship with them as this class of shareholders is an important factor of stability in ownership and title. The small shareholders in fact, if properly informed and believe will suit all faithfully business development through the subscription of capital increases, and as operators of the primary market (new issues) and secondary, are, by their conduct, the most significant signal of intrinsic credibility and validity of the listed company.

The financial disclosure requirements that a listed company has been entrusted are therefore primarily intended to inform and protect small shareholders and third parties.

WHY' HNWI INVESTORS FOR THE COMPANIES 'FINANCIAL COMMUNICATION

A good IR program for small cap companies should avoid (or minimize) the speculative investors and focus not only on institutional investors who manage small-cap funds, investors also HNWI (High Net Worth Individual) because it reveals, for the Company, a solid foundation and an investment vital.


HNWIs are fundamental to 'increase shareholder value:


1. In fact, tend to retain possession of the shares for a period longer than the institutional investors thus creating the most stable portion of the base of shareholders;


2. In the case of financial market instability HNWIs will help the company to support the stock price and keep it stable;


3. Will be the first to increase their stake in the company by buying more shares, in the case of capital increase, if the company knows how to demonstrate the ability to pursue programs and to increase the corporate value for shareholders;

The most effective way to get in touch with HNWIs is by managers of large estates who work for a long time with high net worth individuals.

In a complex field and segmented with numerous players with skills profiles, investment capacity and a variety of management, create a list of retail brokers is hard and can be dispersed to those who are not familiar with the market Financial and its segmentation.

An IR Consultant can facilitate this process.

SMALL CAP VALUE CREATION AS A FACTOR OF SMALL AND MEDIUM in the after market CAPS


Financial communication has emerged in recent years, as instrument of listed companies, especially small and medium size (small and medium caps) in order to improve, strengthen or correct their visibility and establish their credibility in the financial market, with the primary aim of positively influencing recipients of the communication (and thus the economic and financial community), and these produce a change of attitude.

Financial communications consist of all communications made by the company about the evolution of the income and financial, strategic choices, to improve relations with the financial community, an accurate, timely and consistent information.


It is therefore a process to coordinate and integrate the corporate communication flows and distribution of information about the activities and the events that may affect the course (price sensitive events) as a result, investments, future projects, M & A, corporate finance transactions, etc.; process that aims to improve the image, understanding and transparency of the activities of the Company issuer against those who can then invest in the title, whether institutional investors (sell-side or buy-side) or retail investors.


As in all communication processes, including financial reporting is at the base will cause a positive change in the recipients of the communication, in the case of listed companies: the community economic viability. Measurable change on the basis of the position taken by the recipients of the communication as a result of messages received (an increase of coverage of a security, increased trade, increased number of publications on the title ... ... ..). Where then the communication is ineffective, there were errors and / or interference in the process of communication tasks that must be rectified as soon as possible. In fact there is no proper communication when it does not positively influence the message recipient in the latter producing a change of attitude in favor of the issuing company.


Securities Italian small and medium caps are characterized by low capitalization and low floating market, which discourages investment and influence of institutional investors, and these in turn have a propensity to invest funds in small and medium caps among the lowest in Europe. For institutional investors, followed by a medium or small cap is equivalent, and in some cases more difficult and costly, which follows a large cap: it takes expert analysts, industry knowledge, lack of studies for the small caps sector of international and everything has the same complexity and cost more than a society of greater equity. The majority of small caps in fact operates in niche markets. The trend to investment in large caps is also affected by increased demand for these securities and the availability of high floating market transaction volume necessary to trade more and more adequately profitable for institutional investors. We should add that in Italy the number of specialized collections on small cap is quite small and that they are frequently perceived by operators as securities with a greater appetite for risk and with still greater economic alea. In this context, the selection for investment in small and medium-sized companies also specialize in institutional investors becomes very strict and the choices are often influenced not only by the performance company, by particular characteristics of attractiveness. Therefore does not prove easy for small and medium caps emerge in the Italian stock exchange with consistent performance that will lead to enhancing the reputation and value of the securities. The small and medium sized companies as it felt the urgent need for greater visibility to be included in selective investment choice for investors.


The after-market financial communication (communication to the financial market after listing) thus becomes the key differentiator strategic corporate policy directly to the financial community whose primary focus should be: loyalty, establish that is, a solid relationship of trust with the public so as to increase the value of the company and its competitiveness on the market. The purpose of financial reporting in the IPO is to inform the market that the issuer's future performance, based on intrinsic characteristics of the company and its field of membership, and on the basis of the results obtained in the past, are reasonably expected to order to obtain the correct perception of the market and hence the exact position in the list without making wrong assessments that drastically penalize the company and its shareholders. While communication with the after-market is designed to develop and strengthen the relationship created being placed updating market participants on the activities of the company, future projects, the relevant facts, etc.. creating strong relationships of trust with the financial community in full compliance with transparency rules imposed by the regulatory authorities and market management. The after-market communication, especially in times of recession is a fundamental tool to monitor and stabilize the consensus of the financial community and / or rectify the negative opinion (or not adhering to the characteristics of society) which it could have earned on a company and ensure the company later, the possibility of returning to the market as a means financing of future corporate finance transactions (such as new capital gains). All this to reduce the possible gap or institutional market, develop a greater visibility of the Company to reduce the volatility of the stock and broadening the range of coverage.
transparency and continuity in the communication involved in the company's help in times of greatest difficulty, that is when corporate performance is not particularly positive, and the financial market has, however, need to be informed. It 'important to manage information accurately and know how and when to communicate. Investors reasonably not penalize the course of the title even after a quarterly negative if they were loyal to a line of business conduct that has always favored a transparent communication excellent, attentive and timely. There are many listed companies in Italy that are still at a delicate stage: to move from communication due (mandatory) to the voluntary financial reporting that provides greater breadth of communication, frequency and quality of information, diversity of instruments used. The notification requirement are not sufficient to ensure proper positioning and appeal of the title, or to ensure viability of the community an 'in-depth information about the company and the operation mechanisms of corporate and / or its market, which are guaranteed by the direct contact between the company and financial sources, information that becomes of prime importance for the investment decision. For a statement of excellence and then, today's disclosure requirements are not enough: we must do more and better than the others, otherwise, after the initial enthusiasm of the IPO is likely to weaken the interest and allow you to see your analyst " chasing "to another company. Therefore, the continued success of a title on the stock market small cap and medium passes through the definition of a relevant strategy, extended to minority shareholders, the synthesis of joint synergies between the Company, the market and Specialist communications company, which examines the nature of the license, market segments and sub-market, highly specialized, both nationally and internationally.


Imperative of after-market communication is therefore to establish an ongoing relationship with the financial community through a structured communication plan, which seeks to create measurable added value for the company and its shareholders, which properly positions the title positive effect on the financial market and the financial community, producing a change in this favorable towards the company can build a relationship of trust between the listed company and investors: they are institutional investors or retail investors.
