EU Follow-on prospectus and EU Growth Issuance prospectus
Issuers wishing to use the EU Growth Issuance prospectus or the EU Follow-on prospectus may prepare their prospectus on the basis of the relevant annexes (IV–VIII) introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/2809 (EU Listing Act) of 23 October 2024, amending the Prospectus Regulation, MAR and MiFIR. These annexes provide a high-level overview of the mandatory content of the prospectus.
Additionally, the new wording of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 - including the annexes as adopted by the European Commission - provides direction on the specific information to be included. As ESMA clarified in its statement of 18 February 2026, it is advisable that issuers and their legal advisers take into account the more detailed requirements set out in the annexes adopted by the Commission. The AFM’s prospectus team is available for practical questions regarding the submission of an EU Growth Issuance or EU Follow-on prospectus at service.prospectus@afm.nl.

Annex 29 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 contains a list of specialised issuers for which additional information must be included in the prospectus.
