The Swiss Exchange Listing Rules

The Swiss Exchange (SIX) has established Listing Rules that govern the listing of instruments (shares, bonds, derivatives, ETFs, etc.) and define ongoing obligations for issuers, such as the obligation to publish price sensitive information (ad hoc publicity), the reporting of management transactions and requirements as to financial reporting, and corporate governance. Written by expert practitioners, this commentary covers the SIX Listing Rules article by article, taking into count the last partial revision - which entered into force on March 1, 2014 - and the relevant SIX directives, circulars, and decisions. The commentary provides comprehensive guidance for Swiss and foreign issuers that want to list or are already listed on SIX, as well as their respective advisors, such as domestic and foreign investment banks, financial advisors, law firms, public relations, or investor relations firms.
