Allotment of shares and disapplication of pre-emption rights—listed company—checklist

Allotment of shares and disapplication of pre-emption rights—listed company—checklist STOP PRESS: A significant restructuring of the UK listing regime came into effect on 29 July 2024, which included the removal of the premium and standard listing segments and the creation of a single listing category for equity shares in commercial companies. The commercial companies category is heavily disclosure-based and sits alongside other listing categories such as the shell companies, secondary listing and closed ended investment fund categories. A new UK Listing Rules sourcebook came into force to implement the changes and the previous Listing Rules sourcebook was revoked. For further information see Practice Note: Reform of the UK listing regime—fundamentals. This Checklist reflects the listing regime as it was prior to 29 July 2024. The allotment and issue of shares is governed by statutory rules, which differ according to the type of company which is proposing the allotment (private or public, listed or unlisted) and whether that company has a single or multiple classes of shares. This checklist sets out...

What are the options for emergency equity fundraisings for listed companies in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic?

What are the options for emergency equity fundraisings for listed companies in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic? With the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continuing to cause significant economic turmoil, many listed companies may need to raise funds quickly through equity capital fundraisings. Equity fundraisings can be split into two different types: pre-emptive offerings and non-pre-emptive offerings. In a pre-emptive offering, such as a rights issue or an open offer, shareholders are given the opportunity to subscribe in the fundraising pro-rata to their existing shareholdings. In a non-pre-emptive offering, such as a placing, shares are offered to selected investors and this will see the holdings of existing shareholders in the company diluted. The key types of secondary fundraisings which a listed company may consider in an emergency situation are discussed below. Placing In a placing, shares are usually offered to a selected group of institutional investors for cash. The placing is generally structured so that it falls within one of the exemptions from the requirement to publish...

What is the regime on costs for an application to vary a school fees order? Do Calderbank or without prejudice save as to costs letters have any use? CPR 44.2(2) provides that if the court decides to make an order about costs, the general rule is that the unsuccessful party will be ordered to pay the costs of the successful party (costs will ‘follow the event’), but the court may make a different order. The rule under CPR 44.2(2), ie that costs follow the event, is expressly excluded from family proceedings by the Family Procedure Rules 2010 (FPR 2010), SI 2010/2955, 28.2(1). FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, 28.1 provides that the court may at any time make such order as to costs as it thinks just. The general rule, and starting point, under FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, 28.3(5) is that in financial remedy proceedings the court will not make an order requiring one party to pay the costs of another party.
