4. Funds include exchange traded funds, managed funds, listed investment companies and trusts.

5. "Other" securities include options, warrants and options quoted on the NZX Main Board (NZSX).

6. Please note these operational statistics are based on NZX’s internal records, which are unaudited.
Differences may arise between this data and that disclosed in subsequent audited financial statements.

Differences may also arise between this data and the previously reported data due to rounding and classification restatements.

NZX RULES AND POLICY


NZX Policy is currently consulting in respect of proposals to amend the disclosure settings for direct listings to:

• remove the requirement for prospective financial information to be included in a Profile, and

• introduce a framework for NZX Foreign Exempt Issuer applicants, to allow NZXR to prescribe the nature

and content of Profiles for such applicants, through templates designed on a jurisdictional basis.

The consultation paper in respect of these proposals is available here

. We invite you to provide your views on the

proposals raised in this paper by emailing a written submission to policy@nzx.com. The final date for submissions

is 31 July, 2020.

The proposed ‘Hygiene Review’ of the Listing Rules, will be deferred until later in 2020. We are conscious of the

current strains on many Issuers due to COVID-19, and this deferral is intended to enable Issuers to better

participate in the review. The objective of this review is to resolve minor and technical issues that were an

unintended consequence of the holistic Listing Rule review. In the interim, we welcome you to submit any

proposed improvements or comments on the revised Listing Rules to us at policy@nzx.com.


NZX Policy is currently considering submissions received in response to the consultation on the introduction of the

Mid-Point Order Book, an anonymous unlit order book, which NZX intends to make available in 2021, due to the

effects of COVID-19.





NOTES

The metrics are derived from NZX’s internal records.

1. Trading halts imposed routinely, for example on release of price-sensitive information or in the context of

corporate actions are excluded.

2. Details of waivers granted by NZX are released to the Market, and available on https://nzx.com/ and through i-

Search except where the decisions are confidential.

3. NZX will commence an investigation when it identifies a possible breach of rules.
