Regulations amending Finansinspektionen’s rules on trading venues and prospectus language

Finansinspektionen issued regulations amending its rules on trading venues to establish specific language requirements for issuer disclosures and prospectus preparation. The amendments mandate that issuers disclose information in Swedish or English depending on their home Member State status and trading venues, while allowing English prospectuses for non-EEA entities or those choosing Sweden as their home state. These changes, which entered into force on 1 July 2012, also grant Finansinspektionen the authority to require Swedish translations of summaries for non-Swedish prospectuses and to grant individual exemptions.
