As part of its commitment to create effective communication channels and improve and encourage the ongoing communication between companies listed on the main market of QSE and the investor community, QSE will introduce a set of minimum requirements for investor relation practices (the 'IR Rules') that will become effective on 01 October 2019.

The IR Rules consist of a number of base line provisions which will be introduced as a new section in the QSE Rulebook (Part 8: Investor Relations), see Appendix 1, and further mandatory requirements as provided for in this Market Notice.

In summary, as from 01 October 2019, each company listed on QSE (the 'Issuer') will be required to:

• i) appoint an Investor Relations Officer (the “IRO”);

• ii) create and maintain a dedicated investor relations section on its website, and,

• iii) publish an investor presentation and hold at least one investor conference call after publication of its annual, semi-annual and quarterly reports.
