Not listed so am not sure of the exact provisions of the UK Company ( or Irish annexes)
However am aware that to be listed in the UK companies issuing shares must:
- Be satisfied that the information given to the exchange is correct complete and not misleading.
- If the issuer (company) becomes aware that information does not meet the previous requirement
- It should immediately notify the exchange.
So technically they ought be truthful but lack of regulatory oversight is commonplace and therefore not often enforced.
