SIX Swiss Exchange: New Timetable For Revision Of The Listing Regulations

Date 11/11/2008

The concentration of share trading in Zurich as resolved by SIX Swiss Exchange (Reunification Of Swiss Share Trading On SIX Swiss Exchange) also has an impact on the formulation of the listing regulations. At present, these are subject to an extensive revision. The related work is about to be completed. Given the new circumstances, the Admission Board of SIX Swiss Exchange has decided to integrate the changes resulting from the concentration of share trading in Zurich into the ongoing revision and to postpone the entry into force of the overall revised regulations until mid-2009.

However, the entry into force of one of the planned changes will be anticipated: the obligation to publish a listing notice in connection with listing of bonds and derivatives will be repealed already with effect as of 1 January 2009.
