### Question

How should field 15 (maturity date) and field 24 (expiry date) of Table 3 of the Annex to RTS 23 and related MAR RTS and ITS be populated, if these dates are non-trading dates, e.g. a weekend or a bank holiday?

***

### Answer

\[ESMA 70-1861941480-56 MiFIR data reporting Q&A, Q&A 5.3\]

The maturity date/expiry date defined by the issuer or the prospectus of the financial instrument should be used. No adjustment should be made to the next or previous working day for the purpose of instrument reference data reporting.
