ESMA updates guidance in transparency directive

EU financial regulationThe European Securities and Markets Authority has published a new version of its questions and answers concerning the 2004 Transparency Directive. New in this edition are two points:
  • Where's "home": Determination of the home member state for third country issuers in case of delisting and admission to trading in another member state – the home state of the issuer remains the jurisdiction even if the issuer delists at home and lists in another member state.
  • Agents and rights: Designation of an agent for the exercise of financial rights – issuers have to provide a service for home-country securities holders to exercise their financial rights even if the company is listed abroad. But the agent providing such a service needn't be resident in the home country.

In all, the document deals with 18 questions.
