Amendments (14)

Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 10
(10) The summary of the prospectus is a key source of information for retail investors. It should be short, simple and easy for targeted investors to understand. It should focus on the key information that investors need in order to be able to make informed investment decisions. Its content should not be restricted to any predetermined number of words. The format and content of the summary should be determined in a way that ensures comparability with other investment products that are similar to the investment proposal described in the prospectus. Therefore, Member States should attach civil liability on the basis of the summary not only if it is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent, when read together with the other parts of the prospectus, but also if it does not provide key information enabling investors to take informed investment decisions and to compare the securities with other investment products.deleted

Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 13
(13) As the prospectus can be updated by way of supplements according to Directive 2003/71/EC, there is no risk that it may become outdated. Therefore, given the time and costs of drafting and approving a prospectus, the validity period of 12 months of the prospectus, base prospectus and registration document should be extended to 24 months provided they are properly supplemented.deleted

Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 16
(16) When the prospectus is supplemented, harmonization at Community level of the time frame for the exercise by investors of the right of withdrawal of their previous acceptances would provide certainty to issuers making cross border offers of securities. To provide flexibility to issuers from Member States with traditionally longer time frame in this regard, the issuer, the offeror or the person asking for the admission to trading on a regulated market should be able to extend voluntarily the term for the exercise of that right. To improve legal certainty, the supplement to the prospectus should specify when the right of withdrawal ends.
