Summary of feedback received
The Knowledge Base[1] 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 Regulation Rules and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

- Schemes of arrangement[5] (FCA/PN/913.1)
The deletion of one existing procedural note:
