Question

Is there an obligation to update a document drawn up in accordance with Annex IX of the Prospectus Regulation (PR) in relation to a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy relating to the information included in a document?

Answer

No. Documents drawn up in accordance with Annex IX PR are not prospectuses. Therefore, Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation on supplements does not apply.
