In order to ensure timely and adequate disclosures by the listed companies, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) proposed a detailed set of norms for listed companies. According to the proposed norms, listed companies will have to disclose price sensitive information within a day along with the reasons for such developments. Any information that impacts company's assets and liabilities and financial condition and influence investor decisions could be considered as price sensitive.
The SEBI’s draft notified that listed companies would have to inform stock exchanges about all events which are material in nature, price sensitive and have bearing on overall business performance. The market regulator further stressed that in cases where the disclosures are made after one day, listed entity shall, along with such disclosure provide suitable explanation for delay in making disclosure. Besides, companies are required to make periodic disclosures on the associated material developments till such time the matter is resolved. As per the SEBI’s draft note, a listed company will have to explain and give reason for change in key managerial personnel, including resignation. The company is also required to disclose the appointment of a director.
SEBI has sought to define material transactions to make sure that price sensitive information is dispersed to stock exchanges on a timely basis. The move came after considering that laxity and liberal interpretations by firms has resulted in inadequate disclosure levels in the securities market.
