CHAPTER 1

Transparency for equity instruments

Authorisation of deferred publication
Article 7
1
The FCA shall be able to authorise market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue to provide for deferred publication of the details of transactions based on their type or size.
In particular, the FCA may authorise the deferred publication in respect of transactions that are large in scale compared with the normal market size for that share, depositary receipt, ETF, certificate or other similar financial instrument or that class of share, depositary receipt, ETF, certificate or other similar financial instrument.
Market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue shall obtain the FCA's prior approval of proposed arrangements for deferred trade-publication, and shall clearly disclose those arrangements to market participants and the public. The FCA shall monitor the application of those arrangements for deferred trade-publication and must publish an annual report on how they are applied in practice.
...
2
The FCA may make technical standards to specify the following in such a way as to enable the publication of information required under data reporting service rules (within the meaning of regulation 2(1) of the Data Reporting Services Regulations 2024):
a
the details of transactions that investment firms, including systematic internalisers and market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue shall make available to the public for each class of financial instrument concerned in accordance with Article 6(1), including identifiers for the different types of transactions published under Article 6(1) and Article 20, distinguishing between those determined by factors linked primarily to the valuation of the financial instruments and those determined by other factors;
b
the time limit that would be deemed in compliance with the obligation to publish as close to real time as possible including when trades are executed outside ordinary trading hours.
c
the conditions for authorising investment firms, including systematic internalisers and market operators and investment firms operating a trading venue to provide for deferred publication of the details of transactions for each class of financial instruments concerned in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article and with Article 20(1);
d
the criteria to be applied when deciding the transactions for which, due to their size or the type, including liquidity profile of the share, depositary receipt, ETF, certificate or other similar financial instrument involved, deferred publication is allowed for each class of financial instrument concerned.
