1. Introduction
As part of the ongoing reference data reporting obligations under the European Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) and the European Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), trading venues are required to submit the LEI code of the issuers of traded securities to the competent authorities – in this case, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
The abbreviation LEI stands for Legal Entity Identifier and refers to a 20-character alphanumeric code that ensures the globally unique identification of legal entities in the international financial market.
2. Required actions
As a rule, the LEI must be applied for by the issuer and must be renewed or extended annually. If the issuer fails to renew it, the LEI status changes and the LEI code may no longer be accepted for regulatory reporting obligations.
3. Details
Both the initial issuance and the renewal of a LEI are carried out at national level by a registration organization (Local Operating Unit/LOU) accredited by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF).
The LEI code of an issuer and its current status are publicly available on the GLEIF website at https://search.gleif.org.
Reference data reports for issuers with the LEI status “inactive” (Entity Status) and “retired” (Registration Detail Status) are rejected by ESMA. As a result, once Deutsche Börse AG becomes aware of this, the inclusion of the relevant security in the Open Market will be terminated and trading is ceased. No action on the part of the applying Specialist is required for this.
