Summary

The directive overhauls the EU prospectus regime to simplify and reduce costs for companies raising capital, especially SMEs and frequent issuers, while maintaining investor protection. It introduces a lighter disclosure regime, a universal registration document for frequent issuers, and a simplified prospectus for secondary issuances.
