FSA Listing Rules Update Course

 Location: London (Central)

The Listing Regime introduced last year has created a new type of listing for UK Official List companies and changed the requirements for many foreign listed companies.

This course examines the requirements for a Premium and a Standard Listing, and compares them to those of an AIM quotation. It also examines a number of other changes have recently been introduced including the new mineral company rules.
