NZX Limited – Quarterly Policy Update
Q1 2021
This section outlines the key NZX rules and policy activity over the preceding quarter.
NZX RULES AND POLICY
Listing Rules ‘Hygiene Review’ Q2 2021
NZX Policy plans to commence the ‘Hygiene Review’ of the Listing Rules in Q2 2021. 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 Q2 2021, in the interim please submit
any proposed improvements to us, at policy@nzx.com.
Trading Conduct Guidance Note - Indications of Interest
In 2020, 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. We are currently considering the
submissions received, and expect to release revised guidance in this area in May 2021.
Guidance Note - Direct Market Access
NZX Policy and NZ RegCo have been collaborating on the preparation of a new guidance note in respect of NZX’s
conduct expectations for Direct Market Access.
The draft guidance note includes a description of the process for becoming designated as a DMA Participant and
obtaining accreditation for a new DMA order entry system, along with the controls and security arrangements
Participants are required to establish when granting access to a DMA System.
The draft guidance also outlines NZX’s expectations in relation to the setting and maintenance of DMA filters,
considerations in respect of algorithmic trading conducted via DMA, and NZX’s compliance monitoring and
oversight expectations.
We hope to formally consult on the proposed guidance note in May 2021.
Derivatives Market Rules Conformance Amendments
In March 2021, NZX announced amendments to the Derivatives Market Rules that are designed to conform those
rules to the policy settings that were developed through the 2019 amendments to the NZX Participant Rules. In
addition to the amendments to the Derivatives Market Rules, NZX will also be updating the NZX Derivatives Market
Procedures and underlying forms 1 to 8.
The amendments will come into effect on 28 April 2021 and a mark-up of the amendments can be found on our
website here.
Corporate Governance Code 2021 Review
NZX intends to commence a review of NZX’s Corporate Governance Code in H2 of 2021. As issuers have
completed 2 full cycles of reporting under the Code, NZX considers that it is timely for NZX to undertake a targeted
review of certain aspects of the Corporate Governance Code.
While the scope of the review is currently being refined, NZX expects the review to focus on providing clarity
arounds NZX’s expectations in respect of: ‘comply or explain’ disclosure; independent director requirements under
recommendation 2.8; director remuneration practices under recommendation 5.1; and shareholder participation in
capital raising under recommendation 8.4. NZX will also consider developments in ESG practices and trends, with
a view to further developing the commentary on non-financial reporting.
If you have views of the matters that NZX should consider as part of this review please contact policy@nzx.com.
