This Practice Note looks at the regulatory information services regime through which an issuer whose transferable securities are admitted to trading on a UK regulated market (issuer) must disseminate regulated information to the public. In particular, it looks at the role of the regulatory information service (RIS) and primary information provider (PIP) and outlines the key continuing obligations, the approval process and supervisory regime for a PIP.

What is regulated information?

Regulated information is all information which an issuer, or any other person who has applied for the admission of financial instruments to trading on a regulated market without the issuer's consent, is required to disclose under:

  1. the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR), or

  2. articles 17 to 19 of Retained Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (UK Market Abuse Regulation), or

  3. the UK Listing Rules (UKLR)

This includes inside information, financial results and disclosures of trading in shares.

Regulated information must be disseminated in a manner which ensures that it is capable of being disseminated to as wide
