Prime Standard is a market segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange that lists German companies which comply with international transparency standards. The requirements are higher than in General Standard which is regulated by law. 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.
