Prospectus (Directive 2003/71/EC) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2012

These regulations amend the Prospectus Directive, which sets rules for public offerings of securities. The goal is to ensure investors have sufficient information to make informed decisions when buying shares or bonds. This affects companies issuing securities and investors in the financial markets. It aims to harmonize rules across the EU, making it easier for companies to raise capital and for investors to access opportunities.
