NZX Publishes NXT Guidance Notes

Date 02/02/2015

NZX today published the following guidance notes to assist companies and their advisors in the interpretation of NXT’s Market Rules and, where applicable, the NZX Participant Rules:

- Listing as a NXT company 
- Key Operating Milestones 
- NXT Disclosure Framework 
- Trading Halts & Suspensions 
- Migration to NZX Main Board 
- Eligibility to trade on NXT Market 
- NXT Advisors

NXT is a new market built for small and mid-sized businesses, and differs from other markets operated by NZX. In particular, NXT listed companies operate under a new disclosure regime and are required to appoint a NXT Advisor for a minimum period of three years, unless a shorter period is approved by NZX.

NZX Head of Policy and Legal Robyn Dey commented: “The guidance notes intend to provide additional support to companies and their advisors as they familiarise themselves with a new set of obligations outlined in NXT’s Market Rules and the NZX Participant Rules.”

The guidance notes are available at https://nxt.co.nz/pages/market_integrity
