Today, the FCA published new rules that mark a significant shift from the UK listing regime that has been in place for over 30 years. These reforms consolidate the UK listing regime into a single listing category, making it easier for companies to qualify for a listing and reducing the ongoing obligations for listed companies. Effective from 29 July 2024, these changes aim to make the UK a more attractive market for IPOs and secondary listings. Read our summary of the 10 key takeaways on how the new listing regime will impact: 1️⃣ Companies considering an IPO or a secondary listing in London 2️⃣ Companies already listed in London 3️⃣ Investment banks acting as a listing sponsor on UK transactions Find out more about the implications of these changes below 👇
