The Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) issued Circular 3/2021 to amend the reporting models for directors' remuneration and corporate governance of listed companies, transposing EU Directive 2017/828 on long-term shareholder engagement. The amendments introduce new disclosure requirements regarding deviations from remuneration policies, the link between pay and sustainable long-term performance, and the introduction of loyalty voting shares. Additionally, the circular updates definitions for related-party transactions, mandates disclosure of directors' external roles and other remunerated activities, and abolishes corporate governance reporting obligations for non-listed entities issuing regulated market securities.
