On 18 February 2016, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published translations of its standard form for the disclosure of home Member State by issuers under the Transparency Directive (TD).
The TD requires issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on an EU regulated market to disclose their home Member State to: their home Member State’s competent authority, all host Member States’ competent authorities and the competent authority of the Member State in which the issuer has its registered office.
The purpose of the form is to simplify the filing procedure for issuers and to provide national authorities with a consistent set of information.
