8. Website availability according to MONIT24 system (2)

The aim of Stage I is to select the 10 highest-scored websites in each of the 5 categories, pass mark being 50% of the maximum score possible in Stage I. It might happen that too many websites will be marked the same score allowing to qualify – in such case the shortest response time to investor inquires will be prevailing. In case none of the companies replied within the given timeframe and did not score in this category – all the equally-marked abovementioned websites are qualified for Stage II.
