NZX RULES AND POLICY


Disclosure Requirements for Profile documents


During July 2020, NZX Policy consulted on proposed amendments to the Listing Rules to adjust 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 amendments to the Listing Rules were subsequently approved by the FMA and will take effect from Tuesday 3

November 2020. The market announcement with an attached marked-up copy of the Listing Rule amendments can

be found here.


NZX will also be releasing updates to the relevant Practice Notes and Guidance Notes to provide market guidance

and support these amendments.


Continuous Disclosure Guidance Note


During August 2020, NZX consulted on amendments to the Continuous Disclosure Guidance Note. The

amendments are designed to provide further guidance to Issuers on how to manage disclosure obligations in the

event that they experience a performance deviation from market expectations.


The amendments clarify that in determining whether a performance deviation is Material Information for the

purposes of the Listing Rules, Issuers should consider both the nature of market expectations, and the nature,

extent and certainty of the deviation, in accordance with the guidance provided in the Guidance Note.


NZX has now finalised the revisions to sections 3.4 and 3.5 of the guidance note and an updated version of NZX’s

Continuous Disclosure Guidance Note is available here.


Trading Conduct Guidance Note - Indications of Interest


During August, NZX Policy consulted on proposed amendments to section 4.2 of the Trading Conduct Guidance

Note in relation to conduct expectations in respect of advertising indications of interest, including that Participants

adopt the AFME/IA framework. We would like to thank those who submitted on the proposed amendments, which

are currently being considered.


Listing Rules ‘Hygiene Review’ Q4 2020


NZX Policy plans to commence the ‘Hygiene Review’ of the Listing Rules in Q4 2020. The objective of this review

is to resolve minor and technical issues that were an unintended consequence of the holistic Listing Rule review.

We hope to formally consult on the proposed changes to the Listing Rules in late Q4 2020, in the interim please

submit any proposed improvements to us, at policy@nzx.com.



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.
