As a result, ESMA is proposing to remove from the current guidelines the legitimate interests for delayed disclosure connected to such protracted processes.<\/p><p>It also identifies additional legitimate interest for delaying disclosure, including situations where a public authority requests non-disclosure of inside information, where the issuer requires more time to collect information, or where the issuer is involved in several procurement processes for similar contracts.<\/p><p>ESMA proposes to eliminate\u00a0the section about the \u201cno misleading the public\u201d condition, as the Listing Act removed it from MAR. \u00a0Instead, the Listing Act requires that a delayed disclosure must not contradict the issuer\u2019s latest public announcement on the same matter.<\/p><p><strong>Next steps<\/strong><\/p><p>All interested stakeholders are invited to respond to this Consultation Paper by 29 April 2026.
