Information of the CMA notification office on the
Launch of the ESMA notification portal in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation and
the related changes to notifications under Section 24 of the Austrian Capital Markets Act
(December 2020)
Background:
The notification portal of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (Prospectus Regulation, PVO) and the delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/979 became operational in December 2020. National competent authorities (NCAs) are required to submit to the ESMA notification portal for this purpose all data required under the delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/979 regarding issues for which they have approved prospectuses (classification data). To this end, the Financial Market Authority (FMA) uses, inter alia, the issue-related data reported to the issuance calendar of the CMA Notification Office. The Notification Office has adjusted the reporting data according to the requirements of the ESMA notification portal.
The following information is intended to give offerers who report their issues to the CMA Notification Office's issuance calendar pursuant to Section 24 of the Austrian Capital Market Act a simple overview of which of their offerings are covered by the changes and which offerings remain unaffected:
Notifications or offers affected by the amendments
Only offers of securities issued under a prospectus previously approved by the FMA under the Prospectus Regulation are affected by the amendments.
The main amendments are:
- Changes to the notification data according to ESMA classification
The reporting form of the CMA Notification Office has been adapted accordingly for reporting these offers.
- Omission of the filing of Final Terms with the FMA
Furthermore, final terms relating to offers made under a base prospectus are deemed to have been filed with the FMA once they have been uploaded to the CMA Notification Office in the course of a notification. In this case, it is no longer necessary to separately file the Final Terms with the FMA.
Notifications or offers not affected by the amendments
For all other notifications of offers, i.e. for all offers not made under a prospectus approved by the FMA under the Prospectus Regulation, there will be no changes compared to the previous reporting system under Article 24 of the Austrian Capital Markets Act (exemption: data field "related prospectus ID" was inserted). This includes offers notified from other countries, offers exempt from prospectus requirements and offers issued under a CMA prospectus.

Your advantages:
You can comply with your notification obligation in a way that suits you.
