Summary of feedback received
The Knowledge Base is the UKLA’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 and Transparency Rules.
In Primary Market Bulletin No. 12[1] (November 2015), we proposed the following changes to the Knowledge Base:
The amendment of one existing procedural note
- Public offer prospectus - drafting and approval[2] (UKLA/PN/904.2)
The re-consultation of one new technical note proposed in PMB No. 11[3]
