Cash box placing definition What does Cash box placing mean? A cash box placing is a capital-raising structure used to issue shares quickly while relying on the non-cash consideration exception to statutory pre-emption rights. It is a market term, not defined in legislation. Typical steps: the issuer incorporates an spv subsidiary; an investment bank subscribes for the SPV’s preference shares, funded from a placing of the issuer’s equity securities with institutional investors (placees).

Major changes to the UK prospectus framework took effect on 19 January 2026. The updated regime for public offers of securities and for admissions to trading in the UK is contained in the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024, SI 2024/105 (the POATRs), together with the FCA sourcebook, The Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market (PRM). The UK Prospectus Regulation and the FCA Prospectus Regulation Rules have been revoked. These reforms aim to streamline fundraising and markedly cut the instances when a company must produce an FCA-approved prospectus for a subsequent share issue, and in the UK reduce prospectus requirements accordingly.

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
