As a result of the experience deriving from the implementation of EU Directive 2014/65 (MiFID II), the MTFs' Rules (including AIM Italia Rules) are amended with respect to provisions regulating the duration of the commitment for intermediaries that enter into a market-making agreement.

Intermediaries that carry out market-making activities are required to inform Borsa Italiana of the intention to terminate market making strategies they are carrying out under the market-making agreement; nevertheless, undertakings deriving from this agreement will terminate from the date subsequently communicated to the operator by Borsa Italiana, expunging the terms of minimum duration and notice currently envisaged.
