HKEx is grateful for respondents' comments and will take them into account in reaching its conclusions about the consultation proposals and finalising the Listing Rule amendments that will implement those conclusions. Subject to the appropriate regulatory approval, HKEx plans to finalise and implement its conclusions in the second half of this year.
