Shareholder Rights Directive II

The Shareholder Rights Directive II (i.e. Directive (EU) 2017/828, or the “SRD II”) aims to encourage long-term shareholder engagement.

To achieve this objective, the SRD II bears various obligations for the professionals involved in the process of investment on EU Listed Companies shares.

Phase 1 - June 2019: Contract and Communication Set

The policies and reports required by the SRD II vary depending on the role of the professional in the process of investment in EU Listed Companies shares.
The guiding principle here is to make available relevant information on the way investment is managed.

Phase 2 - September 2020: Exchange Of Information

Retail and private banking, custodian activities, asset management, life insurance, etc…: all the stakeholders involved in the process of investment in EU Listed Companies shares must be ready
to exchange mandatory messages from 3 September 2020. The information to share relates to the identification of the shareholders, the organization of corporate events, and the voting instructions and confirmations, in both directions.
