Corporate Law Roundtable

There is significant concern about the state and well-being of the UK’s equity capital markets. Last
year at LSE’s Revitalising the FTSE seminar, we explored the role of regulation in the decline of the
FTSE, with a particular focus on Listing Rule Reform. In May of this year the FCA proposed more
wide-ranging Listing Rule reform which significantly extends the scope for current premium listed
companies to opt-out of Listing Rules which UK institutional investors and other market actors
have long held dear.
