Amendment 117 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) In certain cases, the prospectus or its related documents may reach massive sizes, harming the readability of the document and becoming unfit for investors to take an informed investment decision. To improve the readability of the prospectus and make it easier for investors to analyse it and navigate through it, it is necessary to set out a maximum page limit. However, such page limit should only be introduced for offers to the public or admissions to trading on a regulated market of shares. A page limit would not be appropriate for equity securities other than shares or non- equity securities, which include a broad range of different instruments, including complex ones. Furthermore, the summary, information incorporated by reference or information to be provided when the issuer has a complex financial history or has made a significant financial commitment should be excluded from the page limit.

Amendment 124 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 34
(34) Risk factors that are material and specific to the issuer and his or her securities should be mentioned in the prospectus. For that reason, risk factors are also to be presented in a limited number of risk categories depending on their nature. However, issuers should no longer be required to rank the most material risk factors, which is complicated and burdensome for issuers. To improve the comprehensibility of the prospectus and make it easier for investors to take informed investment decisions, it is necessary to specify that issuers should not overload the prospectus with risk factors that are generic, that only serve as disclaimers, or that could obscure the specific risk factors that investors should be aware of.

Amendment 137 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 62
(62) Article 18(1) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 obliges issuers and any person acting on their behalf or on their account to draw up and to keep updated a list of all persons who have access to inside information and who are working for them under a contract of employment, or otherwise perform tasks through which they have access to inside information, including advisers, accountants and credit rating agencies. Article 18(6) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, however, restricts that obligation for issuers whose financial instruments are admitted to trading on an SME growth market. Those issuers are to include in their insider lists only those persons who, due to the nature of their function or position within the issuer, have regular access to inside information. Given the availability of other existing supervisory enforcement tools, it is appropriate to use the same approach for all issuers, rather than only for issuers whose financial instruments are admitted to trading on an SME growth market.deleted

Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 65
(65) In order to avoid an undue requirement for persons discharging managerial responsibilities to report and for companies to disclose transactions which would not be meaningful to investors, it is appropriate to raise the threshold for reporting and related disclosure from EUR 5 000 to EUR 210 000, while allowing competent authorities to increase that threshold further, where justified.
