Press Release Press release Luxembourg, 4 July 2011 INTERIM REVISION OF THE LUXX INDEX Following the end of the first half of 2011, there was no change to the companies that are included in the LuxX index of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

  • Commission De Surveillance Du Secteur Financier
    COMMISSION ANNUAL DE SURVEILLANCE REPORT DU SECTEUR 2009 FINANCIER Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier 110, route d’Arlon L - 2991 LUXEMBOURG Tel.: (+352) 26 251-1 Fax: (+352) 26 251-601 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.cssf.lu Cut-off date: 1 March 2010. The reproduction of the annual report is authorised, provided the source is acknowledged. Design: metaph Printed by: Imprimerie Centrale PREFACE After the shock of the financial crisis in autumn 2008 which affected the Luxembourg financial centre, 2009 started in an atmosphere of suspense. Ultimately, that year finished with results which seem, at first glance, to suggest a return to a normal situation. The depositors’ and investors’ trust gradually returned and the actors of the financial sector started to spread again their activities. The financial markets in particular were revived, which generally allowed the different types of undertakings for collective investment, including specialised funds, SICARs, pension funds and securitisation vehicles to rake in new money and to observe a growth of their investment. However, the profits which the banks registered again give a deceptive image of good health which cannot sustain when carrying out a more in-depth analysis. The profits mainly result from unusually high interest rate margins at the beginning of the year, from a slight decrease in operating costs and from the purely accounting effect registered following the partial offset of capital loss which had been incurred during the peak of the crisis. Thus, if the 2009 results justify in themselves a certain feeling of relief given the prevailing fears at the beginning of the year, they still do not offer a solid basis for a sustainable growth in 2010 and after.

    CHAPTER X SUPERVISION OF SECURITIES MARKETS SUPERVISION OF SECURITIES MARKETS 1. Approval of prospectuses for securities relating to offers to the public or admissions to trading on a regulated market 2. Takeover bids 3. Mandatory squeeze-out and sell-out of securities 4. Supervision of issuers of securities of which the CSSF is the competent authority 5. Enforcement of financial information 6. Supervision of markets and market operators 7. Investigations and cooperation SUPERVISION OF SECURITIES MARKETS 1. APPROVAL OF PROSPECTUSES FOR SECURITIES RELATING TO OFFERS TO THE PUBLIC OR ADMISSIONS TO TRADING ON A REGULATED MARKET 1.1. Application of the Prospectus Law Unlike in 2012, there were no great changes in the regulation applicable to prospectuses for securities in 2013. Indeed, only the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 759/2013 of 30 April 2013 amending Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 as regards the disclosure requirements for convertible and exchangeable debt securities was published. Following the entry into force of the law of 3 July 2012 transposing Directive 2010/73/EU and amending the law of 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities (Prospectus Law), some issuers have benefited from a grandfathering clause in relation to the adaptation of the update of their base prospectus to the new regulation until the end of June 2013. A lot of these issuers did not wait until the end date of June 2013 to submit their first base prospectus under the new regulation but had already submitted their draft base prospectus in March 2013 so as to avoid being under pressure if an unexpected event occurs due to the changes to be made pursuant to the new regulation.

  • Seeking Opportunities for Bigger Impact: Climate Performance in the Benelux CDP Benelux Climate Change Report 2014
    1 Seeking opportunities for bigger impact: Climate Performance in the Benelux CDP Benelux Climate Change Report 2014 On behalf of 767 investors with assets of US$92 trillion. Report writer Scoring Partner 2 Key messages Out of the 142 companies that were invited to respond to the CDP in the Benelux, only 44% responded, but these represented a market 1 capitalization of over 95%. Climate reporting has become the norm among major Benelux companies, but is not yet common practice among other stock-listed companies. The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the Benelux companies in this analysis has remained largely unchanged since last 2 year – 334 million metric tons CO2e. Companies have been taking measures to reduce emissions, but the overall effects have been offset by increases due to other factors such as increasing business activities or adverse weather conditions. The Benelux companies with best climate performance are among the global leaders, but the average performance has decreased, shifting 3 from B to C. Eight Benelux companies received an A band for climate performance, and can be considered Climate Performance Leaders, but the gap with the pack is large. The eight Climate Performance Leaders set higher ambition levels and 4 stricter targets. All Climate Performance Leaders have targets, and 88% have absolute targets, while few than half of the other companies do. Climate Performance Leaders invest in climate initiatives that make 5 business sense as well as reduce emissions. The majority (55%) of emissions reduction investments of Climate Performance Leaders pay back within 3 years, while this is only 47% across the other group of companies.
