Forthcoming Changes To The UKLA Helpdesk

Introduction

The FSA has published the third edition of Primary Market Bulletin, its newsletter for primary market participants, which deals with the practical implications of forthcoming changes to the UKLA Helpdesk, which are due to come into effect from Monday 1 October 2012.

Background

In its first edition of Primary Market Bulletin, the FSA set out the results of its review of the UKLA Helpdesk telephone service, carried out as part of the FSA's 2010 Market User Survey. The scope of the UKLA Helpdesk review covered the technical advice that the FSA provides on the Prospectus and Listing Rule and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("DTRs") via the Equity, Debt and Company Monitoring helpdesk options.
