The Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) has issued a consultation paper on possible changes to the structure of the ISE Listing Regime, which would bring it into line with the UK listing regime, following changes made to it by the Financial Services Authority in April 2010.

It is proposed that the ISE Primary and Secondary Markets be renamed “Premium” and “Standard” respectively. Premium listed companies would be required to comply with the ISE Listing Rules, while Standard listed companies would comply with EU Directive minimum standards only.

The ISE has invited feedback on the proposed changes by 1 July 2011 and William Fry is currently preparing its response. If you have comments that you would like us to address in our submission, please contact one of the contacts listed below.
