Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/789 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 on disclosure of inside information in protracted processes and delay of disclosure
The European Commission adopts Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/789 to supplement Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 by establishing a non-exhaustive list of final events or circumstances in protracted processes that trigger the obligation to disclose inside information. The regulation specifies the precise moments for disclosure across various corporate actions, including mergers, capital increases, and regulatory approvals, while defining the governing bodies responsible for such decisions. It also provides a list of situations and communication types to help issuers and emission allowance market participants assess whether delayed disclosure of inside information contrasts with previous public announcements. This regulation enters into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
