Listing Rule Amendments

ASX has released details of proposed listing rule amendments. The changes are outlined in an Overview Document (PDF 116KB) with a separate Exposure Draft  (PDF 551KB) setting out drafting amendments in mark-up. 

Changes include:

• Corporate governance reporting obligations for new listings
• Oil & Gas reserve and resource reporting
• Management agreements
• Miscellaneous amendments

The amendments are the result of rule reviews ASX has conducted over the past 18 months. Included in this rule amendment package are amendments and deletions identified as part of ASX's Listing Rule Overlap and Listing Rule Discretions projects, announced in December 2005.

Invitation to Comment

To a large extent, these proposed amendments are of a minor or technical nature, or have been the subject of prior consultation. However, ASX specifically invites comments on its proposed changes to the regulation of management agreements (listing rule 15.16), which have not previously been released for public consultation.

ASX invites submissions on any of the proposed listing rule amendments and draft Guidance Notes by Friday 20 July 2007. Please include any qualitative or quantitative information to support your comments.
