Nasdaq Welcomes Ellex Raidla as a Certified Adviser on Tallinn First North Market

Tallinn - June 7, 2021

Nasdaq announces that Ellex Raidla Law Firm has been granted the status of the
Certified Adviser on Nasdaq Tallinn First North Market. 

Nasdaq First North Market is tailored to support smaller, growing companies
that want to raise capital and get the visibility and credibility of being a
public company. For investors, First North offers an opportunity to invest in
companies that are at an earlier stage of their growth. 

The certified adviser's role is to guide growth companies through the
application process and ensure that the companies fulfil all the requirements
of First North rules on a continuous basis. 

"The addition of one of Estonia's leading law firms to First North's advisers
list is a recognition for both the First North market and the companies
striving to that market," said Kaarel Ots, CEO of Nasdaq Tallinn. 

"I have been waiting for a long time for First North to become more active as a
venue for raising capital and trading," said Gerli Kivisoo, a partner at Ellex
Raidla Law Firm. "In my opinion, First North is a very good format for an
Estonian-sized market where the medium and small-sized companies are the
engines of the economy. Now's the time - First North is becoming more and more
popular and interest in the opportunities of this market has increased
significantly among both issuers and investors. I dare to say that this is a
growing trend and First North market is the place to be today," Kivisoo added.
