Question

What happens if a person has made a disclosure before 15.30 but, because of regulatory checks or other issues outside the person's control, the disclosure is not published until after that time?

Answer

[ESMA70-145-408 SSR Q&A, Q&A 9.3] The person has met its obligation under the Short Selling Regulation by making the disclosure by no later than 15.30h local time even if the notification is published by the competent authority or the operator of the central website supervised by the competent authority at a later point.
