    The CSSF is the competent authority for the application of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC (the “Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129″) and the Law of 16 July 2019 on prospectuses for securities (the ” Prospectus Law”) which implements certain provisions of Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 and provides for other requirements covering the national prospectus regime.

    Prospectuses prepared in accordance with Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 may benefit from a single European passport, which means that a prospectus, once approved for the purpose of an offer to the public or an admission to trading on a regulated market, will be accepted throughout the European Economic Area.

    Exemption under the Prospectus Law

    Article 4 of the Prospectus Law implements the option foreseen by Article 3 (2) of Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 by exempting offers to the public of securities whose total consideration in the European Union is less than € 8,000,000, this limit being calculated over a period of twelve months, from the obligation to publish a prospectus, such exemption being linked to a number of conditions. Thus, it is in particular required to publish an information note for offers to the public of securities whose total consideration in the European Union is greater than or equal to € 5,000,000, this limit being calculated over a period of twelve months.

    Publication of prospectuses
