GEM wants YOUR views!
26th June 2000
Time for you to get involved! After a barrage of criticism from Webb-site.com and
others about the way in which GEM was waiving its own listing rules, on 11-Mar-00
the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and Stock Exchange of Hong
Kong (SEHK) made a joint
announcement,
setting out new proposals and promising a market consultation exercise. That
consultation paper (PDF format) is now with us.
One of the major problems in the past has been that public investors have been under-represented in these consultations (as well as on
the listing committees which make the rules). Listed companies and their
advisers by nature normally prefer minimum disclosure and minimum barriers to
their use of the market, and it is their views that have carried the most
weight.
Now using the power of the internet, you can make a difference. So if you have an interest in improving investment returns and
protection of minority shareholders' interests, then make your views heard.
Click on the links below. Hurry - the deadline for submissions is this Friday
30-Jun-00.
Your views will be transmitted to the SEHK and a copy will go to
Webb-site.com. We will not publish your details but we may summarise the
overall views of our readers.
