| 01 | Confidential enquiry | The line, the holding and the objective, shared through a secure channel. | Day one |
| 02 | Pricing the block | The line is sized and a price set against it; any discount reflects size and liquidity. | 1–2 days |
| 03 | Execution & print | Worked off the order book or negotiated, then printed under the exchange’s block-trade rules. | On the day |
| 04 | Settlement & disclosure | Settles on the standard cycle; any substantial-holding disclosure is sequenced around the print. | T+1 / T+2 |
Denmark equity markets.
A Denmark block trade moves a large line of Nasdaq Copenhagen-listed stock in a single negotiated transaction — off the order book, at an agreed price — so a holder can exit, or an acquirer build a position, without walking the screen. Black Haven can take the line onto its own book, giving the seller a clean, priced exit while the disclosure that follows a substantial transfer is managed around the print.
Denmark trades under the EU framework, so a block that qualifies as large-in-scale can be negotiated away from the order book and reported to the market under MiFID II, with the trade printed and made public through the exchange’s systems. How the size sits against average daily turnover matters: the OMXC25 pharmaceutical and shipping heavyweights absorb large lines readily, while First North and thin small-caps require more care on price and timing. Crossing a Capital Markets Act threshold — 5 per cent and upward — triggers notification to the issuer and Finanstilsynet, generally within four trading days, and short positions carry their own EU disclosure. Settlement runs T+2 through Euronext Securities Copenhagen.

What Is a Block Trade, and How Does One Work?
A block trade is the off-market sale of a large line of listed shares at a negotiated price, executed bilaterally and printed under exchange rules to avoid moving the open market.
Read → Block TradesHow Do You Sell a Large Block of Shares Without Moving the Price?
A large block is sold without moving the price by taking it off the open order book — negotiating off-market at an agreed price, often with a liquidity provider taking the risk, and printing under exchange block rules.
Read → DisclosureDo Block Trades Have to Be Disclosed?
Often yes. Once a significant shareholder crosses a market’s substantial-holding threshold, a block sale is generally notifiable to the regulator within a set window, with thresholds varying by jurisdiction.
