The Notification Office acts as a depository for the prospectuses to be issued in compliance with the Capital Markets Act (CMA), the Stock Exchange Law (SEA), the Investment Fund Act and Real Estate Investment Fund Act.
The Notification Office examines prospectuses, submitted as required for the admission to the stock exchange and a public offering of securities and investments as defined in the Capital Markets Act section 1 para 1 fig 3 and 4, whether the liability of drawing up a prospectus has been formally complied with. A further task is the safekeeping of the prospectuses for a period of 15 years from the date of submission of the prospectus. This ensures preservation of evidence in case of possible future compensation claims.
Depository
The prospectus has to be sent in a timely manner with all required signatures to the Notification Office, so that it is received on the day of its publication at the latest. For both, Investment Funds and Real Estate Investment Funds the simplified prospectus and the full prospectus signed by the investment fund management company and the modifications of or amendments to the same have to be sent to the Notification Office.
For investment funds the simplified prospectuses are to be replaced by KIIDs (Key Investor Information Documents) as of 1 September 2011. For existing investment funds a transition period ending on 1 July 2012 is defined in Investment Fund Act section 195.
