,OUTCOMES
1. Apply the eligibility requirements regulating the admission of equity securities to the Official list and to
trading on the Main Market of the LSE – Look at conditions that need to be met before company can
join the main market
2. Apply the eligibility requirements regulating the admission of equity securities to AIM – this is a
different market known as alternative investment market
3. Explain some of the preliminary steps a company may need to take when preparing for an IPO and the
reasons for them – companies need to make changes before doing an IPO

CONTEXT

PRIVATE V PUBLIC COMPANIES
• Main difference is that public company can offer shares to the public
o Section 755 of the CA states that a private company cannot offer its shares to the public.
TIMELINE
• IPO Preparation – prospectus document
o Verification process – to check information is not misleading (responsibility statement)
• Once listed, continuing obligations
o Substantial transactions – requirements under Chapter 10
o Related party transaction – major shareholders, directors on both sides of transaction
o Disclosure of certain key information or inside information
o Restrictions on share dealing
o Corporate governance rules
• Once listed, secondary issues – to raise finance (after IPO company seeks a further issue of its
shares)
o Rights issues – offer to existing shareholders
o Open offers – fast
o Placings – for institutional investors
o Intermediary offers

*These methods for secondary issue all have different pros and cons in terms of timing, disclosure, cost
and accessibility of the market
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
• Companies Act 2006 – pre-emption rights
• FCA Listing rules
• Market Abuse Regulation
• Prospectus Regulation
• Admission and disclosure standards – trading of LSE
• AIM Rules
• UK Corporate Governance Code – listing rules say that must state whether have complied with this
but does not say HAVE to comply
• The Investment Association Guidelines
• Pre-emption Group Statement of principles
IPOs

• High level of compliance + regulation

*Some of the cons might be mitigated if seeking to list on AIM or standard section of MM on LSE.
*Difference between S560 CA 2006 and Chapter 6 Listing Rule definition of equity securities: the LR
definition says they are shares not limited by dividend or capital but does not include the right or the
option to subscribe to those shares.
*To note, the LR definition under Chapter 6 only applies to the premium segment of the main market

o For MM it will be sponsor
▪ Obligatory for the premium segment under Chapter 8 of Listing rules
▪ No obligation for standard segment of MM
▪ Advisor is approved, supervised and directed by the FCA
• FCA maintained a list containing 40 financial advisors who are approved and
subject to LR Chapter 8 (8.4.1 to 8.4.4 lists the roles of the sponsor)
o For AIM it will be nomad
▪ Under Rule 1 of AIM the nomad must be appointed and retained at all times of
flotation
▪ Nomad owes their responsibility to the LSE not the FCA and subject to Nomad
Rules

• Other advisors:

shares
