By concluding securities transactions, the company committed the offence of market manipulation as the relevant buy orders were given with the objective of stabilising the share price and in particular to increase the share price. The purpose of Article&nbsp;15 MAR is to protect investors, promote market integrity and to increase capital market confidence. The penal order is not final.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Update: 31.03.2025<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amber Immobilien- und Beteiligungsverwaltungs GmbH has lodged an appeal to the Federal Administrative Court (BVwG; Bundesverwaltungsgericht) against the FMA&rsquo;s penal order.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Update: 19.09.2025<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its ruling dated 12.09.2025, the Federal Administrative Court (BVwG; Bundesverwaltungsgericht) reduced the fine imposed to EUR 104,000.
