On 24 September 2024, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published Primary Market Bulletin 51 (the PMB).

In the PMB, the FCA sets out feedback to its consultation in PMB 48 and subsequent changes to the Knowledge Base on the listing regime. The PMB notes that the changes to the Knowledge Base reflect not only feedback from the consultation, but also the publication of policy statement PS24/6 on 11 July 2024 and the final UK Listing Rules which came into force on 29 July 2024.

The FCA also reminds firms of (a) the deadline for commenting on its consultation on planned improvements for the National Storage Mechanism; and (b) the deadline for responding to the Financial Reporting Council’s Discussion Paper Opportunities for the future of digital reporting.
