The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published revised listing rules on July 11, 2024. These set out a simplified listings regime with a single category and streamlined eligibility for those companies seeking to list their shares in the U.K. This represents a major overhaul of the listing rules to align the U.K.’s regime with international market standards. The aim was to ensure that investors would have the information they need to make decisions about their money while maintaining appropriate investor protections to hold the management of the companies they co-own to account.
