Supervision release 26 November 2015 – 47/2015

Changes in FIN-FSA regulations and guidelines on the securities market

As from 26 November 2016, FIN-FSA revokes guideline 8/2013 on notification of significant holdings and voting. On the same day, changes in guideline 6/2013 on securities offerings and listings enter into force together with changes in regulations and guidelines 9/2013 on takeover bid and the obligation to launch a bid. The changes come as a result of the Act amending the Securities Markets Act (1278/2015), which also enters into force on 26 November 2015. 

​In future, FIN-FSA will publish practical guidelines on disclosure of significant holdings and voting (the notification of major holdings) on its website. A new standard form for notification of major holdings, answers to frequently asked questions (in Finnish) and examples of notification situations (in Finnish) are already available on the website.
