ASX continues to refine proposed changes to admission requirements

In an earlier post, ASX to take a harder line on early stage IPOs, we highlighted some of the key changes proposed by ASX to the admission requirements for a listing on the exchange.

The ASX consultation process for the proposed amendments closed on 24 June 2016, with the changes initially anticipated to take effect from 1 September 2016.  The transition date has, however, been delayed to 19 December 2016 following extensive industry feedback to ASX.

The level of feedback perhaps reflects a concern that the changes, if adopted, are likely to have a significant impact on small cap IPO candidates and back-door listings.
