As a result of such admission of bmp’s shares to public trading in Poland, bmp may now apply for listing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. From November 19, 2004, bmp became subject to Polish law disclosure requirements and is obliged to publish all its ad hoc and periodic reports required under German law also in Polish translations for dissemination in Poland. bmp’s shares were admitted to public trading in Poland based on the European “single passport” procedure which allows companies to use the prospectus approved in one EU member state as an offering document in another EU member states without the need to seek additional approval. bmp is the first foreign company that relied on the “single passport” procedure in seeking admission of its securities to public trading in Poland. Subject to approval of bmp’s application by the Warsaw Stock Exchange, bmp will most likely be the third foreign company listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
