ARCHIVED: This archived Practice Note offers background reading on the Model Code and is provided for information only. Following the implementation of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation), the FCA removed the Model Code. From 3 July 2016, the Chartered Governance Institute (previously called ICSA), alongside the GC100, the QCA and other market participants, issued a guidance note and a series of specimen dealing codes for use by listed and quoted companies.

For what constitutes a ‘loan relationship’, and the other dealings and arrangements that, while not ‘loan relationships’, are still brought within the loan relationships rules, see Practice Note: Loan relationships—what are they? This Practice Note sets out how such profits and losses are calculated and then recognised for corporation tax purposes.

This note is for information only and concentrates on the Model Code formerly set out in the Listing Rules, issued by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which a company with a premium listing of equity shares was previously required to follow.

This precedent memorandum outlines the processes to be observed by a listed company and its subsidiaries when transacting in the company’s securities. Its aim is to support the company in meeting its duties under the UK Market Abuse Regulation (Assimilated Regulation (EU) 596/2014) and to confirm that appropriate systems and procedures exist to help persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMRs) and other staff within the company and its subsidiaries fulfil their responsibilities under the company’s Dealing Code and the UK Market Abuse Regulation. This precedent arises from an industry‑led creation of codes, guidance and best practice produced by The Chartered Governance Institute (formerly known as ICSA: The Governance Institute), GC100, the Quoted Companies Alliance and other market participants. Additionally, the memorandum addresses dealing processes across the company and its subsidiaries, associated clearance requirements and potential refusal circumstances.
