The European Commission has introduced revised implementing technical standards for insider list formats under the Market Abuse Regulation, significantly reducing administrative burdens by removing several personal data fields and extending simplified formats to all issuers. These changes, which entered into force on 5 July 2026, require issuers to update their insider list templates while maintaining core compliance obligations for tracking individuals with access to inside information.

The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1291 (the “Implementing Regulation“) entered into force on 5 July 2026, introducing a revised set of implementing technical standards on insider list formats and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1210.

The amendments, introduced as part of the Listing Act’s objective of reducing administrative burdens, remove a number of personal data fields and extend the alleviated insider list format (previously available only to SME growth market issuers) to all issuers required to maintain insider lists under the Market Abuse Regulation (“MAR“).

Background

An insider list is a record that issuers and any legal person acting on their behalf or on their account are required to draw up and maintain of all individuals who have access to inside information, whether under a contract of employment or through otherwise performing tasks that give rise to such access, such as advisers, accountants, or credit rating agencies.
