The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has launched a consultation on amending the rules for submission and public disclosure in notifiable securities trading so that major shareholding notifications would be received and published by the authority rather than by Oslo Børs. The proposal would align the arrangement with the main rule in the Securities Trading Act. The consultation also covers delegation of authority to grant exemptions from language requirements under that act. The draft would repeal Sections 1 and 2 of the 2007 regulation, which currently assign the receipt and publication of flag notifications to Oslo Børs. Finanstilsynet links the transfer to a broader shift of tasks from Oslo Børs to the authority, including supervision of information and offer obligations and certain assessments connected to the ESAP framework. Comments on the proposal are due by Sept. 14, 2026.
