Question

How should operators of trading venue(s) and systematic internaliser(s) populate field 5 (issuer or operator of the trading venue identifier) of Table 3 of the Annex to RTS 23 and related MAR RTS and ITS in case of depository receipts?

Answer

[ESMA 70-1861941480-56 MiFIR data reporting Q&A, Q&A 2.7] Field 5 should be populated with the LEI of the issuer of the financial instrument represented by the depository receipt in line with MAR Article 3 (1) (21) [1] .   [1] For example, in case of a depository receipt on share A field 5 should be populated with the LEI of the issuer of share A and not of the depository receipt itself.
