Future version: Effective from 04 Jan 2027
The Exchange determines an applicant’s compliance with listing requirements. An applicant may consult the Exchange to resolve specific issues prior to the submission of an application. Unless the Exchange prescribes otherwise, the following sets out the usual main steps in the process for satisfying the Exchange that listing requirements have been complied with:—
(1) The applicant submits (to the Exchange) one copy of the listing application. The listing application comprises the prospectus, offering memorandum or introductory document prepared in compliance with Rules 312 to 313 and, the supporting documents set out in Rule 314. The prospectus, offering memorandum or introductory document which forms part of the listing application must be in final form;
(2) The Exchange considers whether the application satisfies the listing requirements and will decide whether to issue an eligibility-to-list letter for listing (with or without conditions). Listing will not be permitted until all terms and conditions set out in the eligibility-to-list letter have been satisfied;
(3) Where a prospectus, offering memorandum or introductory document is required to be issued, the applicant submits a final copy to the Exchange. Where the document is required to be lodged, the applicant also lodges the document with the relevant authority. The document that is lodged should not be materially different from the document on which the eligibility-to-list letter was issued, and the applicant must submit a written confirmation to the Exchange to this effect. If there are material differences, the Exchange may withdraw the eligibility-to-list letter;
(4) The Exchange will inform the applicant of any further information that is required to be disclosed prior to commencement of trading. The applicant decides whether to include this information in its prospectus, offering memorandum or introductory document, or to make pre-quotation disclosure through an announcement to the Exchange. Pre-quotation disclosure must be made not later than the market day before commencement of trading of the debt securities; and
(5) On satisfaction of the conditions expressed in the eligibility-to-list letter, the issuer's debt securities will be listed and quoted on the Exchange.
