Article 1 Determining liquid markets for shares
(Article 2(1)(17)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014)
1. For the purposes of Article 2(1)(17)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014, a share that is traded daily shall be considered to have a liquid market where all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the free float of the share is:
(i) not less than EUR 100 million for shares admitted to trading on a regulated market;
(ii) not less than EUR 200 million for shares that are only traded on MTFs;
(b) the average daily number of transactions in the share is not less than 250;
(c) the average daily turnover for the share is not less than EUR 1 million.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1(a), the free float of a share shall be calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares by the price per share, excluding individual holdings in that share that exceed 5 % of the total voting rights of the issuer, unless those holdings are held by a collective investment undertaking or a pension fund. Voting rights shall be calculated by reference to the total number of shares to which voting rights are attached, regardless of whether the exercise of the voting right is suspended.
