Sebi on Wednesday decided to bring listed companies’ promoters and directors’ dealings in listed debt securities under the purview of system-driven disclosures. The stock exchanges and depositories will make necessary arrangements so that disclosures pertaining to listed debt securities along with equity shares and equity derivative instruments are disseminated on the websites of respective bourses from July 1, Sebi said in a circular.

The system-driven disclosures have already been implemented for members of the promoter group, promoters, directors, and designated person of a listed company under the insider trading norms. The disclosures pertain to trading in equity shares and equity derivative instruments — futures and options — of the listed company by such entities.

The disclosures for equity and equity derivative segments are being displayed on the exchange website under ’system driven disclosures’. It has now been decided to include the listed debt securities of equity-listed companies under the purview of the system-driven disclosures for these entities, Sebi said.
