SUP 17.5 Reportable transactions

SUP 17.5.1R

A 'reportable transaction' is a transaction of a type identified in SUP 17.5.4, except:

  1. (1)

    stock or bond lending and borrowing, repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements;

  2. (2)

    asset trading transactions, including novation, assignment and sub-participation; and

  3. (3)

    issues, market allotments and syndications which are not dealt in on a regulated market.

SUP 17.5.2G

For a list of regulated markets see SUP 17 Annex 5.

SUP 17.5.3G

In general, transactions, other than those in derivative products, between the issuer of an instrument and the first taker as principal are not reportable transactions. However, if an instrument is already dealt in on a regulated market, all secondary issue transactions are reportable if the new issue ranks equally with those already in issue and the issue is already admitted to trading on 1or listed on a regulated market. All secondary market transactions carried out on or off exchange, before or after the instrument is issued, are reportable. In addition, for a firm which is not a personal investment firm or an investment management firm (essentially BCD credit institutions and securities and futures firms), reportable transactions include transactions in some instruments which are not traded on a regulated market at all - for example the instrument concerned might only be traded over the counter or through a trading facility such as Ofex.
