Helpful Guides & FAQs
Have questions about SRD II & LEI? Here are some quick answers to common questions.
What is the Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II)?
SRD II is an EU regulation designed to strengthen the position of shareholders and reduce short-term excessive risk-taking by companies. It revises the 2007 directive to improve transparency between companies and investors, ensuring that issuers can identify who their shareholders are.
Why is an LEI required for Shareholder Identification?
SRD II mandates that data exchanged between intermediaries and issuers must be “machine-readable” and standardized. The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is the only globally recognized code that provides verified data (name, address, registration status) in a format that satisfies this technical requirement instantly.
The deadline was September 2020. Is it too late to register?
No, it is not too late, but it is urgent. The regulation is now fully active. If you do not have an LEI, you may face blocked transactions or be unable to fulfill mandatory transparency reporting. You should register immediately to ensure you are compliant with current laws.
Which entities are required to have an LEI under SRD II?
The regulation applies to a broad range of financial intermediaries. This includes Central Securities Depositories (CSDs), asset managers, investment managers, institutional investors, and proxy advisors. If you are an intermediary facilitating shareholder identification or an institutional investor disclosing equity strategy, you need an LEI.
How does the LEI work with SWIFT and payments?
Under SRD II, identification messages often use the ISO 20022 standard, which is compatible with SWIFT payment processes. By integrating your LEI into these messages, you ensure “assured identity validation” at the point of payment, significantly reducing the risk of fraud and transaction errors.
