RTS: Buy-back programmes and stabilisation measures (Reg 596/2014)

This regulation sets out the technical standards for companies that want to buy back their own shares or use stabilisation measures to support their stock price. It ensures that these financial activities are conducted transparently and fairly to prevent market manipulation.

This affects publicly traded companies, investment firms, and financial supervisors. It clarifies the conditions under which companies can repurchase shares without unfairly influencing the market price.
