Background & Purpose

Smaller companies often struggle to find enough money to grow. By allowing them to list shares with different voting values, the goal is to make it more attractive for these companies to enter the stock market.

The Decision

The parliament decided that trading platforms (MTF) are no longer allowed to reject companies just because they use shares with different voting rights.

Does this affect you?

  • Small and medium-sized companies: These businesses get better access to risk capital as they can now list on more platforms without changing their share structure.
  • MTF trading platforms: These platforms must change their internal rules to ensure they do not discriminate against companies with multiple voting rights.

In Practice

  • Companies can now list on MTF platforms even if they have shares with different voting power.
  • Trading platforms must update their rules to accept these companies.
  • It becomes easier for small and medium-sized businesses to attract new investors.
  • The new rules apply across all of Sweden starting in December 2026.
