Disclosure and Reporting Regulation 2018 (VMV 2018)
The Austrian Financial Market Authority issued the Disclosure and Reporting Regulation 2018 to standardize how issuers with Austria as their home Member State publicly disclose and submit regulated information under the Market Abuse Regulation. The regulation mandates written ex ante notifications containing specific disclosure wording and contact details, while requiring simultaneous electronic dissemination through approved systems like Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg to ensure broad public access. It establishes minimum submission standards guaranteeing communication integrity and security, specifies media formatting requirements such as recognizable subject keywords, and officially repeals prior VMV provisions upon its 3 January 2018 entry into force.
