Listed companies may have an extensive stream of news about the transactions, or ‘deals’, that they enter into. In addition to the mandatory disclosure of market-sensitive information about material ‘deals’, they may also voluntarily publish press releases about non-material ‘deals’. The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) has carried out an analysis of the number and types of ‘deals’ published by listed companies under its supervision and of their materiality. In the process, the FSMA also examined the extent of the financial information that these press releases contain. Given that investors need to be able to understand their impact, the presence of financial information is always an aspect to which the FSMA pays close attention in its supervision of the information disseminated by listed companies.
