Focusing on the Main Board Listing Rules, Hong Kong Listed Companies: Law & Practice explains what the key rules require and how those requirements fit into practice in the context of the underlying policy behind the rules. The step-by-step approach taken by the authors - both experienced corporate finance lawyers in Hong Kong - features case studies, diagrams and flowcharts to illustrate the rules and give examples of their application. The presentation details the ins and outs of the main issues arising from such aspects as the following: the process and documentation required to get a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; ongoing obligations of listed companies under the Listing Rules; and ongoing obligations of listed companies and their shareholders under other relevant legislation, primarily the Securities and Futures Ordinance (such as market misconduct and disclosure of interests). As a practical, quick and easy-to-use guide to how the rules and legislation relating to listed companies apply, this is the ultimate guide. In addition to its usefulness as a standard reference, ready to consult at a moment''s notice, it will be of enormous value as a guide to in-house counsel, company secretaries, and other practitioners and students who require an understanding of the legal background and practical application of the rules and legislation that apply to listed companies.
