mark-ups of the changes ASX is making to the existing versions of the following Listing Rule Appendices (these were not included in the consultation package):
Subject to the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals, with two exceptions, the final rule changes and all of the revised Listing Rule Appendices and Guidance Notes above will come into effect on 1 December 2019.
The first exception is the changes to Listing Rule 1.1 condition 13 and Listing Rule 12.6 to require the person who has been appointed by an entity to be responsible for communication with ASX in relation to listing rule matters to have completed an approved education course and examination covering listing rule compliance matters. To allow more time to complete the development of ASX’s online education course and examination, ASX has decided to push back the transition date for these particular rule changes to 1 July 2020.
The second exception is the changes to the Appendix 4C and Appendix 5B quarterly cash flow reports, which will come into effect for the quarter beginning 1 January 2020 and ending 31 March 2020.
Listed entities with any questions about the rule and guidance changes should direct them to their ASX listings adviser.
2. Free national roadshow on Listing Rule reforms and update on CHESS replacement
ASX will be conducting a national roadshow in October/November 2019 to inform listed entities and other interested stakeholders about the Listing Rule reforms mentioned above. ASX will also take the opportunity to update listed entities on progress with CHESS replacement including timing, features and benefits both on "day one" and in the future.
The dates, venues and registration links for the roadshow events are listed below. If you have questions please contact ASX at asxerp@asx.com.au.
