Admission document meaning

In March 2018, Euronext acquired the Irish Stock Exchange plc, which then joined Euronext’s federal structure and now trades as Euronext Dublin, with Ireland recognised as one of Euronext’s six core countries. Euronext is the foremost pan-European marketplace in the Eurozone, operating across Belgium, France, Ireland, The Netherlands, Portugal and the UK. Its mission is to energise pan-European capital markets to fund the real economy, uniting buyers and sellers in venues that are transparent, efficient and dependable. What are the rules applicable to listing debt securities on Euronext Dublin? Euronext Dublin—EU Regulated Market The Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) is the competent authority responsible for reviewing and approving a prospectus (Prospectus) for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (PR). The PR prescribes the relevant annex items to be included in a prospectus, depending on the issuer’s profile and the nature of the transaction. The European Union (Prospectus) Regulations 2019 (the Irish Regulations) took effect on 21 July 2019, replacing the prior Irish Prospectus (Directive 2003/71/EC)...

This Practice Note serves as an initial guide to listing debt securities on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). It outlines the ideas of listing and admission to trading, and centres on the main markets for listing debt instruments. It does not aim to detail every applicable requirement and provides links to relevant resources for further reading. It also excludes disclosure requirements and ongoing continuing obligations. Principal markets for debt securities listings The LSE operates several markets, but the venues commonly used for debt capital market listings are: the Main Market the International Securities Market (ISM) the Professional Securities Market (PSM) (Note: From 19 January 2026, the PSM is closed to new admissions) In addition, the LSE runs two markets tailored to particular segments of the debt securities space: the Order book for Fixed Income Securities (OFIS) the Sustainable Bond Market Listing or admission to trading––what is the difference? ‘Listing’ means admission of...

STOP PRESS: The UK’s prospectus framework still derives from the EU Prospectus Regulation, preserved in domestic law after Brexit as the UK Prospectus Regulation. As part of wider reforms to the UK capital markets and to strengthen the UK’s appeal as a listing venue, this regime has been under review. As a result, the UK Prospectus Regulation will be superseded by the Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations 2024 (the POATRs), with the detailed admission-to-trading requirements to be set out in the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) admission rules. The FCA issued its final rules (PS25/9) on 15 July 2025, and they will apply from 19 January 2026. On 17 October 2025, the FCA published Primary Market Bulletin 58 which, among other points, gives guidance on the timing and approval of prospectuses (and supplementary prospectuses), and confirms the removal of Listing Particulars as an admission document, within the new framework. For further information on the key elements of the new POATRs framework relevant to the debt capital markets, see:...

This Practice Note outlines the key features of a private company limited by shares. It also explains the principal differences from public companies limited by shares, and why this structure might be selected as the preferred business vehicle rather than another UK company form. What is a private company limited by shares? A private company limited by shares is a distinct legal person, separate from its members. Ownership rests with members through their shareholdings, while directors run the company in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) and the company’s constitutional document, the articles of association. This is a widely adopted vehicle. The Companies House public register records over five million limited companies, of which more than 95% are private companies limited by shares. The other UK company types available under the CA 2006 are: public companies limited by shares—see Practice Note: Public companies limited by shares private companies limited by guarantee, which are primarily used by charities and other not-for-profit...
