The Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority issued Decision No. 132 of 2017 to amend the Egyptian Exchange's listing and delisting rules. The decision establishes mandatory minimum capital, profitability, and free-float thresholds for Egyptian companies seeking initial listings, while providing alternative compliance mechanisms for firms that fail to meet primary financial criteria. It further mandates enhanced post-listing disclosure obligations, including annual performance comparisons against independent valuations and underwriter business plans, and clarifies procedures for re-listing delisted securities and foreign share listings.
