FCA confirms new Listing Rules to support UK stock market growth

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has today confirmed a series of rule changes to ensure that the UK’s public markets remain a trusted and attractive place to list successful companies.

The reforms build on, a number of the recommendations made in the UK Listing Review and the Kalifa Review of UK FinTech, with the FCA seizing the opportunity to update its rules to respond to the changing nature of companies looking to list while maintaining high standards for UK public markets.

The FCA is confirming the following changes:

  • Allowing a targeted form of dual class share structures within the premium listing segment to encourage innovative, often founder-led companies onto public markets sooner and so broaden the listed investment landscape for investors in the UK.
  • Reducing the amount of shares an issuer is required to have in public hands (i.e. free float) from 25% to 10%, reducing potential barriers for issuers created by current requirements.
  • Increasing the minimum market capitalisation (MMC) threshold for both the premium and standard listing segments for shares in ordinary commercial companies from £700,000 to £30 million. Raising the MMC will give investors greater trust and clarity about the types of company with shares admitted to different markets.

The new rules become effective on December 3, 2021.

Clare Cole, Director of Market Oversight at the FCA commented on the changes:

‘We need to act to meet the needs of an evolving marketplace. These changes ensure the UK’s markets maintain their reputation for dynamism, helping support the new types of companies seeking the investment that drives economic growth and by giving investors more choice with appropriate protection.

‘Over the last few months, we have moved quickly to address areas where our rules could be improved to encourage innovation in primary markets. By taking this agile approach, we are pleased that new IPOs in 2022 will be able to benefit from the revised rules.’

    have gone downhill. If you are in the ROI on the
    same link change the flag in the very bottom corner
    to the ROI flag to obtain an 0818 number. Tbh
    Sky couldn’t warn its customers if the call offering a discount isn’t
    from them. If Sky do want to reduce my bill, then email me the details and if it’s a good offer, I’ll sign up for another two
    years. I personally, possibly like many others am wary of answering unexpected calls from 0800 numbers.
