This higher standard includes quarterly reporting in German and English, application of international accounting standards (IFRS/IAS or US-GAAP), publication of a financial calendar, staging of at least one analyst conference a year and ad hoc disclosure also in English.

All companies listed in DAX, MDAX, TecDAX and SDAX have to belong to Prime Standard.
