Topic Information obligations for issuers General information
Article from Issuer Guidelines published by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority
Section 50 of the WpHG governs the publication obligations of domestic issuers in the case of changes in the law relating to the relevant respective securities as well as in the case of the bond issues. In addition, the publication obligation is established in respect of information published in a third country. The manner and language of the publication are governed by the general requirements to which section 22 of the WpAV refers (IV.6.1, IV.6.2). For the language in which information under section 50 (1) sentence 1 no. 3 of the WpHG is published, section 22 of the WpAV provides an option to publish the information only in English. In addition to publication, the information must also be transmitted to the Company Register for storage and BaFin must be notified of the publication (IV.6.4, IV.6.5).
