Recital 40
(40) Risk factors that are material and specific to the issuer and its securities should be mentioned in the prospectus. For that reason, risk factors are also to be presented in a limited number of risk categories depending on their nature. However, to ease the burden for issuers, the requirement to rank the most material risk factors should be replaced by a requirement to list, in each category, the most material risk factors in a manner which is consistent with the assessment undertaken by the issuer. To make the prospectus more comprehensible and make it easier for investors to take informed investment decisions, it is necessary to specify that issuers should not overload the prospectus with risk factors that are generic, that only serve as disclaimers, or that could conceal specific risk factors of which investors should be aware.
