FASTWEB (Milan, MTAX: FWB) announces its Calendar of Company Events for the year 2009.
The Company intends to apply article IA.2.17.2 subsection 2 of the Instructions accompanying the Rules of the Markets organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and hence will not present documents relative to the second and fourth quarters of the year.
According to the revised version of the Code of Internal Dealing, approved by Fastweb¡¦s Board of Directors on 4 November 2008, the Company introduced black out periods which are aligned with those set forth by its parent company Swisscom. Black out periods are the periods during which certain persons must abstain from carrying out transactions on company shares or related financial instruments. In line with Swisscom, Fastweb also introduced quiet periods during which it will abstain from communicating information on periodic financial results to analysts and investors before the approval of such results. As with Swisscom, the quiet periods coincide with the black out periods.
