港交所(00388.HK)就推行無紙化上市進行公眾諮詢
港交所(00388.HK)旗下聯交所就建議推行無紙化上市及認購機制、網上展示文件及減少須展示文件類別諮詢市場意見,諮詢期截至今年9月24日。聯交所同時修訂指引信,要求首次公開招股申請人額外披露企業管治及環境、社會及管治(ESG)。
按上市規則現行規定,股份、債務證券及集體投資計劃的發行人須以實體印刷形式刊發上市文件。法例亦規定申請表格須與上市文件一併發出或提供。因此,申請表格亦須以同一媒介(即實體印刷形式)刊發。發行人亦須展示多類型文件的實體印刷版本以備查閱,例如重大合約、董事服務合約、專家同意函及賬目調整表等。
聯交所的建議包括,要求新上市的所有上市文件全部僅以電子形式刊發;及新上市的認購僅可透過電子渠道申請;將若干文件須展示實體版本的規定以於網上刊發的規定取代;及減少發行人須就須予公布的交易及關連交易展示的文件種類。
港交所上市主管陳翊庭表示,上市規則有關以印刷形式刊發上市文件及展示實體文件的規定已經不合時宜。互聯網的普及度和使用率的不斷上升,以及港交所的可持續和綠色倡議,再加上對致力降低成本和提升效益的承諾,推動港交所提出改革建議。特別在首次公開招股方面,市場統計數據顯示,近年投資者都傾向以電子方式遞交認購申請。
