NZX Regulation has today published a further five
"practice
notes" to provide user-friendly advice on common questions
raised by issuers and their advisors.
As with NZX's previous batch of practice notes, the notes
are designed to be a short-form practical guide to complement
NZX's existing guidance. They cover:
- releasing the results of shareholder meetings
- matters to be included in notices of meetings.
- confirming that there is generally no need for issuers to
separately announce changes to indices
- changing or replacing bonds held with NZX to secure compliance
with the Listing Rules, and
- applying for trading halts.
One key point for issuers to be aware of in relation to notices
of meeting is the requirement introduced through the new practice
note that a copy of the relevant checklist is completed and sent to
NZX Regulation together with the issuer's notice of meeting if
it requires NZX approval under Rule 6.1. While this should
