What is Material event disclosure?

The issuer's immediate public disclosure on KAP of information and events that could affect the value of its shares or investors' decisions.

Signing a significant contract, a major acquisition, a change of management or the outcome of a significant lawsuit are typical material events. Failure to disclose developments that constitute inside information in good time can lead to administrative sanctions.
