Publication of measures

(1) BaFin publicly announces on its website immediately enforceable measures it has taken under sections 15a to 19, insofar as this is warranted, weighing the interests concerned, to remedy or prevent abuses. For measures that are not final, the following notice must be added: "This measure is not yet final." Where a remedy has been lodged against the measure, the status and outcome of the remedy proceedings must be announced.
(2) Where BaFin has indications that 1. an offeror publicly offers asset investments although a) these provide for an obligation to make additional contributions, contrary to section 5b, b) no sales prospectus has been published, contrary to section 6, or c) the sales prospectus is no longer valid under section 8a, or 2. a sales prospectus was published before its approval, contrary to section 8, BaFin may publicly announce this circumstance on its website.
(3) BaFin refrains from an announcement under subsection (1) or subsection (2) where the announcement would materially endanger the financial markets of the Federal Republic of Germany or of one or more states of the European Economic Area. BaFin may also refrain from an announcement where an announcement could have adverse effects on the conduct of criminal, regulatory-fine or disciplinary investigations.
(4) The announcement under subsections (1) and (2) may contain only such personal data as is necessary to identify the offeror or issuer. The announcement must be deleted at the latest after five years.
