New capital for a publicly listed company without a prospectus – New regulations

13.03.2019 Publications

What are the new regulations regarding capital injections for publicly listed companies ?

21 July 2019 will bring the coming into force of European Parliament and Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, which will supplant the EU rules hereuntil in force and trigger substantial changes of national law, especially – in the Polish context – of the legislative Act regarding public offering.[1] Draft amendments to the Act regarding public offering are presently at the review and consultation stage[2], and their adoption is tentatively scheduled for Q2 2019. In its wake, we expect to see a number of executory and delegated instruments regulating specific issues associated with the issue prospectus and other documents involved in the public offering process. To make a long story short, we are facing a major change of securities law, one which will pose a considerable challenge for lawyers as well as for securities issuers. The objectives of these changes include implementation of a uniform legal regime governing prospectus-based public offerings throughout the EU and affording small and medium-sized enterprises easier access to capital, among other measures by increasing the threshold offering value beyond which an issue prospectus is mandated and by introducing new types of issue prospectus: a universal registration document for entities which effectuate frequent issues, a simplified prospectus for secondary issues, and an EU development prospectus for small and medium-sized enterprises. Regulation 2017/1129 does not require transposition into the Polish legal system and shall apply directly as of 21 July 2019.
