The notes cover aspects of, among others, the UK Listing Rules,[2] Prospectus Regulation Rules[2] and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules[3].

The information aims to help issuers, sponsors and practitioners interpret these rules.

Amending the following existing technical note:

• Primary Market/TN/710.2 – Sponsor Services: Principles for Sponsors[3]

Adding the following new technical note:
