A New Way Forward for Biotech Listings in Hong Kong | February 2018 | Briefing

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Exchange) recently announced significant reforms to attract high-growth innovative companies to list in Hong Kong. One of the most eye-catching reforms is the introduction of a new chapter (the Biotech Chapter) to the Main Board Listing Rules (the Listing Rules) to allow the listing of biotech companies that are pre-revenue. On 23 February 2018, the Exchange released a new consultation paper seeking comments on the proposed amendments to the Listing Rules relating to the Biotech Chapter.  

In this Client Briefing, we provide an overview of the listing criteria under the Biotech Chapter issued by the Exchange and what an applicant applying for a listing must demonstrate.
