Disclosure of Interests in Shares (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1994
These Regulations amend Part VII of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 (“the 1986 Order”) which imposes an obligation to disclose certain interests in shares comprised in certain issued share capital of public companies. Exemptions from that obligation, contained in that Part and in the Listed Companies (Disclosure of Share Interests) (Exclusions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1979 (S.R. 1979 No. 229) are amended or superseded. In some cases the changes made are because continuance of certain exemptions in their present form would be incompatible with Council Directive 88/627/EEC on the information to be published when a major holding in a listed company is acquired or disposed of (OJ No. L348, 17.12.88, p. 62).
