The Communiqué on the Public Disclosure of Material Events (Serial: VIII, No: 54) was amended on 23 October 2010. In light of the amendment, it was made mandatory for listed companies to make public disclosures of debt instrument offers only in cases where debt securities are issued to the public with a prospectus. Accordingly, it has been provided that there is no public disclosure requirement in private placements and offers made only to qualified investors. Furthermore, the Communiqué Regarding the Public Disclosure of Material Events by the Public Companies Whose Capital Market Instruments are not Traded on an Exchange (Serial VIII. No: 57) has been amended, excluding private placements and sales to qualified investors out of scope of said Communiqué for such public companies.
