The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets
("AFM") has revised its brochure on
insider trading. The primary amendment concerns the obligation of
insiders to notify transactions in financial instruments issued by
their own institution to the AFM.
At the time the Financial Markets Supervision Act
("FMSA") was drafted, this notification
requirement did not apply to an issuing institution established in
the Netherlands which has issued financial instruments admitted to
trading on a system in a non-member state comparable with a
regulated market or multilateral facility. The Financial Markets
Amendment Act 2012 has remedied this omission, which explains why
the AFM amended its brochure on this point.
