The Directors’ Dealing Assistant built on BRYTER helps directors and risk departments of issuers of financial instruments to determine and document envisaged stock purchases (directors’ dealings) in a fast, transparent and compliant way.

#### Background

Under Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (EU Market Abuse Regulation), directors or persons entrusted with management duties within an issuer of financial instruments must report to their competent financial supervisory authority the details of their own-account transactions for purposes of transparency. In addition, they are generally prohibited to conduct transactions in connection with the issuer's shares or debt instruments or related financial instruments during a closed period of 30 calendar days prior to the announcement of an interim or annual report. With BRYTER, you can build a tool which uses predefined criteria to determine whether such an anticipated trade is prohibited or whether a notification is required, and which steps must be taken. The user will be guided through a questionnaire. Depending on the outcome and the information provided, advice on the process of reporting to the designated recipients (i.e. any competent financial supervisory authority and/or the issuer of the financial instruments) is given. The modular logic of our [business reporting software](https://bryter.com/applications/business-reporting/) allows the questionnaire to be adapted to the user’s inputs in a scenario-based manner in order to cover a large number of cases.
