What is the definition of traded company?
Traded company means a company any shares of which carry rights to vote at general meetings, and are traded on a regulated market in an EEA state by or with the consent of the company. This means that private companies whose shares are traded on a regulated market without the consent of the company are not covered by the provisions of the Directive. Regulated markets in the UK include the London Stock Exchange main market and the listed elements of PLUS, but not AIM.
