Wiener Börse at a glance:

One of the oldest continuously operating exchanges in the world. A focused index with significant concentration in banking, insurance, oil and gas, and infrastructure. The Austrian disclosure regime carries a distinctive step structure that differs from most EU peers.

On the Wiener Börse specifically, eligibility turns on where the name sits in a concentrated market. ATX, ATX Five and ATX Prime constituents — heavily weighted to banks, insurers, oil-and-gas and infrastructure — carry the free float and daily turnover that support a higher loan-to-value; Standard Market and Direct Market Plus lines are financed more selectively. Trading runs on the Xetra T7 system, and shares settle T+2, which fixes when the pledge is perfected. Net short positions are disclosable under the EU short-selling regime, a useful read on where the market itself sees liquidity and pressure in a given name.

The principal regulatory reference on Wiener Börse is Stock Exchange Act Section 130. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.
