More than a hundred companies have left the Helsinki exchange since 2000, but around 130 have joined — the net change is positive, though without the arrivals the list would be short. The episode covers what a First North listing demands of a company, what a Certified Adviser adds, and what the SPAC structure then being trialled in Finland actually is: Husman stresses it is not a back door to the exchange, because the combined entity must meet the same listing criteria. Also discussed: the reversal in reputation of private-equity-backed listings, anchor investors and Puuilo's thirty thousand subscribers, retail allocation cuts, and high-frequency trading. Husman also names a Finnish deterrent — dividend taxation that keeps well-capitalised family companies off the exchange.", "chapters": [{"t": "00:00", "title": "A hundred leaving, 130 arriving, and the SPAC as a harness driver", "seconds": 0}, {"t": "01:00", "title": "Henrik Husman, and the third hot listing wave", "seconds": 60}, {"t": "02:06", "title": "Brady bought Nordic ID: the first First North takeover", "seconds": 126}, {"t": "03:08", "title": "What a First North listing demands of a company", "seconds": 188}, {"t": "04:42", "title": "The Certified Adviser, and moving to the main list", "seconds": 282}, {"t": "07:30", "title": "Why companies list: growth capital, a quality mark and recruitment", "seconds": 450}, {"t": "09:10", "title": "A SPAC: a company listed in order to make an acquisition, not a back door", "seconds": 550}, {"t": "11:08", "title": "The agency problem, the escrow account, and the investor's right to exit", "seconds": 668}, {"t": "13:30", "title": "A SPAC as an alternative to a private equity buyer for a target company", "seconds": 810}, {"t": "15:16", "title": "Private-equity-backed listings have beaten the index", "seconds": 916}, {"t": "18:56", "title": "Anchor investors, and Puuilo's thirty thousand investors", "seconds": 1136}, {"t": "20:28", "title": "Institutions against retail investors, and allocation cuts", "seconds": 1228}, {"t": "22:16", "title": "Ultra-fast trading, banks internalising flow, and market share", "seconds": 1336}, {"t": "25:29", "title": "Discounts in directed offerings, and the value of handcraft", "seconds": 1529}, {"t": "27:07", "title": "Why Sweden is Europe's champion in listings", "seconds": 1627}, {"t": "29:42", "title": "The stick of dividend taxation keeps family companies off the exchange", "seconds": 1782}, {"t": "31:14", "title": "First North's positive spiral, and balancing the risk level", "seconds": 1874}, {"t": "32:44", "title": "Green bonds, ESG reporting and the Green Equity Designation", "seconds": 1964}, {"t": "36:33", "title": "The Certified Adviser and the takeover code on First North", "seconds": 2193}, {"t": "38:51", "title": "A direct listing without an offering, and Spotify's example", "seconds": 2331}, {"t": "41:58", "title": "Closing words", "seconds": 2518}], "sourceTranscriptType": "none", "subtitleMethod": "none", "provenance": "Owner page assembled from YouTube metadata, the neuvottelija.fi episode record and the publisher's own chapter marks, translated one for one. The marks are genuine: twenty-one of them, with gaps from 60 to over 190 seconds, tracking the recording rather than a grid. No transcript is published here — the channel has no English caption track for this episode and the Finnish one is YouTube's automatic track. The guest runs the exchange whose products the episode describes and has an obvious interest in companies listing on it; the host works in corporate finance and advises on such transactions. Nothing here is investment advice, and the listing wave, SPAC rules and valuation environment are those of mid-2021 — the Finnish SPAC experiment did not develop as the episode anticipated.
