The Argentina Securities Commission comprehensively revised disclosure requirements for capital markets participants, refining the entities and obligations covered while reducing administrative burdens. The reform expands the material events regime to expressly cover annual and interim financial statements and circumstances that could significantly affect issuers’ capacity to pay securities. Certain reporting thresholds rise from 10% to 15% to focus disclosure on events with greater economic relevance. The changes clarify disclosure duties for public equity issuers and the scope of shareholding reports, centralize filings through the Financial Information Highway and extend certain reporting deadlines from 10 to 15 business days. They also broaden confidentiality duties for issuers, placement agents and other primary offering participants, and require cooperation with supervisory reviews before a formal investigation begins. Revised suitability rules allow professional experience to demonstrate competency, simplify incompatibility and registration procedures, and set a uniform two-year validity period for examinations and registrations.
