WallStreet is not only about thematic lectures, but most importantly about meetings, both official and unofficial, which give the investors an opportunity to directly contact issuers and capital market advisors. During the three days, numerous retail investors met with representatives of listed companies and key capital market institutions, analysts and managers to discuss determinants of the valuation of companies on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, dividend-focused investing, promising companies present on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, and stock market prospects in the second half of 2018.

Discussion panels were an important part of the conference. The invited panellists talked about topics important to the economy and its future, including the capital markets in Poland. Paweł Łapiński, Vice President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A., was one of the experts at the Saturday panel ‘Tycoons of Warsaw Stock Exchange. Board members of largest Polish stock exchange companies on the future of Polish economy.’

An inseparable part of the WallStreet conference was the Shareholding Fair attended by several dozen listed companies, including Grupa Azoty S.A. During the evening gala Grupa Azoty S.A. received an award for ‘top quality investor relations activities addressed to retail investors’.

“This is a yet another recognition for our Company’s investor relations efforts. The award’s value lies in the fact that it comes from retail investors. This year, we celebrate the tenth anniversary of our Company’s IPO. When Grupa Azoty S.A. was first listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2008, it declared its commitment to an open information policy. I am glad to see our activities being regularly recognised,” said Paweł Łapiński, Vice President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A., accepting the distinction on behalf of the Company.

“We were pleased to award the distinction for high quality of investor relations to Grupa Azoty S.A. Since the very beginning of its presence on the WSE, Grupa Azoty S.A. has been one of those companies which set the highest standards in investor relations. Thanks to the Company’s numerous communication activities, retail investors have wide access to information and can on a regular basis contact the Management Board, whether directly or by means of remote communication,’ said Bartosz Dziemaszkiewicz, Vice President of the Management Board of the Individual Investors Association, in a justification for awarding the distinction to Grupa Azoty S.A.
