In the equity market chapter, “Hong Kong Offshore New Listing Opportunities for GBA Enterprises”, Rodney briefly introduced the standard main listing requirements on the HKEX (Main Board and GEM) and the US NASDAQ Capital Market. He followed by an in-depth discussion on HKEX’s significant listing reforms targeting the biotech industry, SPACs and dual/ secondary listing regimes, as well as the new specialist technology companies listing regime proposed by HKEX in October 2022. He also explained the need of pre-IPO reorganisation and due diligence and its importance in ensuring a successful HK IPO and listing.
