Why bother jumping through the hoops of a premium listing when they aren't going to exist soon anyway?
It is proposed that the current dual segment model employed by LSE which is comprised of the "Standard" and the "Premium" listing segments, will be abandoned in favour of a single listing category for equity shares in commercial companies (the "ESCC"). There will also be a number of separate categories for companies other than traditional commercial companies, for example, SPACs, closed-ended investment funds, and international companies incorporated outside of the EU with a primary listing somewhere other than in the UK (the "International Secondary Listings Category"), though it is expected that the vast majority of companies will transition to the ESCC category.
