On 1^st of June 2012, the new procedure has been launched to comply with the communications requirements set out by articles 16, 20, 23 and 27 and 34bis2 of the Issuers' Regulations.

The management/sicav companies that intend to file the offer documentation are therefore bound to use exclusively the online procedure made available by Consob and accessible through the use of special identification codes.

These are the same codes already issued to the intermediaries and used to transmit data and documents required by Consob resolution No. 17297 of 28 April 2010 (reporting obligations for supervised subjects).

Once the transmission is completed, the system automatically generates the protocol number, as well as the receipt certifying acceptance by the institution.

Starting from 1st of March 2022, for CIS already subject to the PRIIPs Regulation (reserved AIFs), the acquisition of the KID and the related structured data can be carried out through the DEPROF System,
whose manual has been updated to reflect this alternative method of acquisition. E.U. Alternative Asset Managers and SICAVs will be able to access it, using the credentials already assigned by Consob when registered in Italy.
