As of 3 July 2016, most of the current Dutch market abuse rules as laid down in the Act on the Financial Supervision (
Wet op het financieel toezicht) will lapse and be replaced by the European Market Abuse Regulation (No 596/2014) (
MAR).
MAR differs in a number of ways from the current regime. This will involve a number of changes for listed issuers, including in relation to areas such as disclosure of inside information to the market, maintenance of insider lists and disclosure of/restrictions on dealings by directors and persons discharging managerial responsibilities.
