Dates of consultation
June 2016, March 2017
Summary of feedback received
The Knowledge Base[3] is the FCA’s repository of non-handbook commentary that has the status of formal FCA guidance. It consists of a series of short procedural and technical notes published in PDF form and ordered by topic. The notes relate to aspects of the Listing Rules, Prospectus Rules and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
We have made the following changes to the Knowledge Base, which we proposed in PMB No. 16[4] and PMB No. 17[5]:
The addition of one new procedural note
- Substitution of issuer of debt securities[6] (UKLA/PN/911.1)
The amendment of two existing technical notes
- Shareholder obligations[7] (UKLA/TN/543.3)
- Identifying and managing conflicts[8] (UKLA/TN/701.3)
Response to feedback
We received feedback on our proposals relating to four of these notes. We summarise the feedback received in Primary Market Bulletin No. 18.
