An Embargo Agreement restricts when and how specific information can be shared with the public or other parties. Under Danish law, these agreements are commonly used by companies releasing sensitive financial data, research institutions announcing scientific findings, or government bodies managing market-sensitive information.

The agreement sets clear rules about who can access the information, when they can share it, and what happens if someone breaks these rules. Danish regulators take these agreements seriously, especially when they involve stock market data or trade secrets covered by the Danish Securities Trading Act. Breaking an embargo can lead to significant fines and legal consequences.

Use an Embargo Agreement when releasing sensitive information that needs controlled timing and distribution. Danish companies often need these agreements for quarterly earnings releases, major corporate announcements, or research publications where coordinated disclosure is crucial. They're particularly important for listed companies complying with NASDAQ Copenhagen's disclosure requirements.

These agreements prove valuable when working with journalists, analysts, or research partners who need advance access to prepare thorough coverage or analysis. Danish universities and research institutions frequently use embargoes to manage the release of scientific findings, ensuring accurate reporting while maintaining competitive advantages and intellectual property rights.

An Embargo Agreement differs significantly from a Confidentiality Agreement in several key aspects, though both deal with controlling sensitive information. While both documents protect information, they serve distinct purposes under Danish law and are used in different situations.

• Timing Focus: Embargo Agreements specifically control when information can be released, usually for a short, defined period. Confidentiality Agreements protect information indefinitely or for longer terms
• Purpose: Embargoes manage coordinated public releases, while Confidentiality Agreements prevent any unauthorized disclosure
• Typical Users: Embargoes are common with media, stock exchanges, and research institutions. Confidentiality Agreements are used more broadly across all business relationships
• Enforcement Approach: Embargo breaches often result in immediate public consequences and loss of future access, while confidentiality breaches typically lead to legal damages claims
