The update addresses regulatory procedures for securities registration and public offerings (OPD and OPA), which are core equity issuance and trading activities under the Equities category.
Mandatory inheritance: Equities as the primary tag requires Investment Services as the secondary tag, reflecting the asset-management and securities distribution dimension of the regulatory guidance.
Specialism
The update addresses operational procedures and system availability requirements for securities registration submissions, which relates to regulatory reporting obligations and operational resilience in market infrastructure.
The guidance on system unavailability procedures and fallback mechanisms for securities registration reflects operational resilience expectations for market infrastructure, though the primary focus is on reporting procedures rather than full business continuity planning.

TITLE: Brazil's Securities Commission Issues Guidance on Securities Registration System Unavailability Procedures
BODY:
On March 12, 2026, the Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM) published Circular Letter CVM/SRE 2/2026 to provide guidance on procedures for market participants when the Securities Registration System (Sistema SRE) becomes unavailable.
The CVM's Securities Registration Superintendence (Superintendência de Registro de Valores Mobiliários – SRE) issued the guidance to clarify procedures for lead coordinators and intermediary institutions submitting registration requests for public offerings of securities distribution (Oferta Pública de Distribuição – OPD) or public share acquisition offers (Oferta Pública de Aquisição – OPA). The circular addresses procedures for electronic registration submissions across multiple scenarios, including: automatic-process OPD offerings using a pre-registration market phase (bookbuilding offerings); automatic-process OPD offerings without a pre-registration market phase; ordinary-process OPD offerings and phase transitions; ordinary-process OPA offerings; and automatic-process OPA offerings.
The CVM defines system unavailability as the inability to access the system or any issue preventing submission of electronic registration requests caused by CVM system or infrastructure failures. The authority specifies that only systemic events affecting all or the majority of system users, as identified by CVM's Information Technology teams, constitute unavailability. System unavailability is considered to have occurred when the system is unavailable during business hours and remains inoperative after 6:00 PM.
Market participants with questions regarding the Securities Registration System should contact the CVM directly: sistemasre@cvm.gov.br for OPD matters, or suporte-sistemasre-opa@cvm.gov.br for OPA matters. The full text of Circular Letter CVM/SRE 2/2026 is available on the CVM website.
