3 November 2016: Steven Hijink chairs symposium about "Doorwerking van voorschriften van jaarrekeningenrecht in het ondernemingsrecht"

Short Reads - In onze Corporate Update van 6 februari 2020 bespraken wij de inwerkingtreding van de Wet tot implementatie van de Herziene aandeelhoudersrechtenrichtlijn (“SRD II”) (“Implementatiewet”) op 1 december 2019. De bepalingen over de identificatie van aandeelhouders, de uitwisseling van informatie met aandeelhouders en de facilitering van (stem)rechten treden op 3 september 2020 in werking.

Articles - As of 10 March 2021, many financial market participants and financial advisers will be subject to new disclosure obligations following the entry into force of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) on 29 December 2019. The SFDR sets rules on transparency with a view to promoting both the integration of sustainability risks into investment processes and disclosures to investors.

Short Reads - Financial institutions may outsource critical or important functions to cloud service providers (“CSPs”). On 25 February 2019 the European Banking Authority (“EBA”) provided guidelines (the “EBA Guidelines”) laying out the framework for outsourcing arrangements. The EBA Guidelines require institutions to have a comprehensive, documented and sufficiently tested exit strategy (including a mandatory exit plan) when they outsource critical or important functions.

Roundtable - Stibbe presents an online roundtable meeting on Thursday 2 July 2020 (11:00-12:00) focusing on the Renewed Sustainable Finance Strategy.
