Maßnahmen von Unternehmen gegen unberechtigte Short-Sell-Attacken

In recent years, companies that are listed at the German stock exchange such as Wirecard or ProSieben have increasingly become victims of short selling attacks, so that their share prices have fallen massively within a very short period of time.
This work examines such attacks comprehensively on the basis of the applicable Capital Markets Law and makes a significant contribution to clarify the complex and yet unresolved issue of how companies themselves are able to react effectively to such attacks and which precautionary measures have to be taken in this regard. For this, I evaluated several case studies and particularly focused on the Investor Relation efforts of these companies.
