Abu Dhabi’s stock exchange has requested all listed companies on the exchange to make an immediate disclosure of relevant information that may impact investors’ decisions. The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) asked companies to review their financial and operational exposure and to ensure timely disclosure of any developments that may affect market participants.

Listed companies have to provide accurate and relevant information as part of their disclosure obligations under ADX rules, especially during moments of heightened uncertainty.

The exchange said listed companies must confirm that their core business operations continue without material interruption, and that their liquidity, cash flow and access to funding remain sufficient to support ongoing operations.

They must also confirm that there are no undisclosed adverse financial, operational or other developments that could reasonably influence investor decisions, and that appropriate governance, risk management and business continuity plans are in place and fully operational.

Where no material impact exists, issuers are encouraged to confirm operational continuity to support market transparency.

ADX emphasised that all disclosures must be submitted through its official Disclosure System before being shared through any other channel. Statements must be accurate, balanced and non-misleading, and include a forward-looking disclaimer noting that assessments are based on currently available information and may be revised as circumstances evolve.

Two-day closure

On Sunday, the UAE’s Capital Market Authority (CMA) announced that the UAE’s main markets – ADX and Dubai Financial Market (DFM) – will close on the following two days as a precautionary measure in light of the regional escalations.  Both reopened on Wednesday, with trading resuming as normal.
CMA said that it will continue to closely monitor developments and take all necessary regulatory measures to protect investors and maintain orderly market conditions. Investors and market participants are urged to follow official announcements from the Securities and Commodities Authority, ADX and DFM for any further updates.
