CP26/14: Changes to information flows for UK equity IPOs
The Financial Conduct Authority proposes amending COBS 11A.1.4FR to remove the 7-day waiting period between the publication of an approved registration document or prospectus and connected research. The proposals also seek to remove COBS 11A.1.4BR through COBS 11A.1.4ER, which currently mandate that syndicate banks share the same information with unconnected analysts as they do with their own research analysts. Additionally, the paper addresses a technical issue in amendments made to COBS 12.2.21R regarding the transfer of MiFID Organisational Regulation rules. These changes apply to prospective issuers, investment banks, independent research providers, and other intermediaries involved in the UK equity IPO process.
