The new Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) takes effect on 3 July 2016. While many aspects of the new market abuse regime are similar to the existing UK regime, there are some important and substantive changes. Issuers who have not already done so will need to review their existing policies and procedures as soon as possible.
This note is intended to give a brief overview of some of the key changes under the new market abuse regime as it applies to issuers.
