Under current legislation, all issuers must disclose their financial statements on a quarterly basis. The Board of Directors, senior executives, associates and family members of a given company are restricted from trading shares of that company prior to the publishing of its interim and final financial reports, otherwise known as the “restriction period.” Any breach of the mentioned legislation may result in penalties, reputation losses, and other sanctions that could negatively impact a company and its executives.

Edaa's Dealing Restriction Service is an effective tool to safeguard companies and executives from accidentally breaching the legislation. The Dealing Restriction Service is enforced systematically by Edaa based on the issuer’s request and its corporate calendar.
