On October 1, 2018 the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published an updated version of its Q&A on the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR).

On October 1, 2018 the London Stock Exchange (Exchange) published AIM Notice 54 (Notice). The notice provides feedback on AIM Notice 53 and confirms changes to the AIM Disciplinary Procedures and Appeals Handbook (Handbook).
Responses to the consultation were, on the whole, supportive of the proposed changes to the Exchange’s disciplinary and non-disciplinary procedures. As part of the changes, the new Handbook has been reformatted to make it easier to navigate with new appendices added, including indicative standard directions and timetables for disciplinary proceedings and forms for use in appeals.
The Exchange has also published an Extract to the notice which sets out consequential changes to the AIM Rules for Companies and AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers.
The revised Handbook and the changes to the AIM Rules had immediate effect, coming into force on October 1, 2018.
