The principal purpose of the Law is to transpose Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 on the harmonisation of transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, as amended, notably, by Directive 2013/50/EU of the European</p>\n<p>Parliament</p>\n<p>and</p>\n<p>the</p>\n<p>Council</p>\n<p>October</p>\n<p>2013</p>\n<p>(the</p>\n<p>“Transparency Directive”). We also draw your attention on Grand-ducal Regulation of 11 January 2008 implementing the Law, as amended by Grand-ducal Regulation of 10 May 2016 3 (the “Grand-ducal Regulation”). This Grand-ducal Regulation transposes Commission Directive 2007/14/EC of 8 March 2007 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of certain provisions of the Transparency Directive, as amended by Directive 2013/50/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 (the “Implementing Directive”). This circular sets out and specifies the regulatory framework that follows from the Law and the Grand-ducal Regulation. 4 1. Introduction Pursuant to the Transparency Directive, the issuers that are governed by that directive are required to provide ongoing and periodic information which the directive defines as “regulated information”. The scope of that term is defined in point 3 of this circular.</p>\n<p>The text above is the opening of the document; the PDF carries the whole.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.cssf.lu/en/Document/circular-cssf-22-799/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Document page</a>, <a href=\"https://www.cssf.lu/wp-content/uploads/cssf22_799eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">PDF</a>.
