Draft law simplifying Belgian rules applicable to listed companies
A draft Belgian law will ease certain rules for listed companies.
Key changes include:
- Delayed disclosure of inside information: FSMA justification only when requested.
- Rights issue marketing materials: prior FSMA approval no longer needed - just notification.
- Shareholders’ meeting notices: no more publication in the Belgian Official Gazette or a national newspaper.
The law will take effect ten days after publication in the Belgian State Gazette, once approved.
