OeKB as Notification Office in accordance with Sec. 23 Austrian Capital Markets Act 2019, is to be notified of all securities or investments as early as possible. These notifications to the new-issue calendar pursuant to Sec. 24 Capital Markets Act 2019 have to be made before they are offered in Austria for the first time. Public and non-public offers are subject to the notification obligation.

Changes in the notification system on 1 December 2020
With the launch of the new ESMA notification portal pursuant to Article 25 of the Prospectus Regulation, the reporting system pursuant to Section 24 of the Austrian Capital Markets Act will be adapted to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/979 on 1 December 2020 as follows:
- Inclusion of relevant issue-related data for the classification of prospectuses under the Prospectus Regulation (only relevant for notifications of issues for which a prospectus has been approved by the Austrian Financial Market Authority; i.e. home member state Austria)
- Extension by the reporting fields "final offer price" and "final amount of securities" according to Art 17 of the Prospectus Regulation
- Extension by the reporting field "prospectus reference" with a prospectus identification for a clear assignment of all reported ISINs.

Simultaneous notification of numerous issues via XML interface
If you have to notify a large number of issues, use of the OeKB XML interface may be of interest because it enables a fully automated and time-saving sending of notifications to the new-issue calendar. This minimises your efforts. The technical specification of the OeKB XML interface and the corresponding XSDs can be found at the following link:
XSDs and documentation of the OeKB XML interface
Further details can be found in the interface description and description of the XSD notification fields.
