The duty to publicly disclose inside information under the EU Listing Act

In December 2022, the European Commission finalised the proposal for an EU Listing Act. Last February, a final compromise was reached between the European Council and the European Parliament (this blog post is based on the text of this final compromise). The EU Listing Act aims to simplify and harmonize listings in the EU in order to make listings (and raising capital through the stock market) more attractive. The Act will make amendments to, among others, the Prospectus Regulation, the Market Abuse Regulation and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR). In this blog post, I briefly discuss the amendments to the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) regarding the duty applying to EU listed companies to publicly disclose inside information.
