Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE), the Company's primary listings market for SMEs
Aquis is pleased to announce that Liberum, Panmure Gordon, Peel Hunt and Zeus Capital have joined Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE) as corporate advisors, meaning these institutions are now able to prepare applications and assess the suitability of companies for admission to the AQSE Growth Market. This represents a further endorsement of the Company's aim to develop the exchange into the home of growth companies, and brings the total number of corporate advisers to AQSE to 28.
There is a strong IPO pipeline for 2021, including the listing of Samarkand Group. The cross-border eCommerce technology and retail group announced on 8 February its intention to float on AQSE, demonstrating our ability to compete with other UK exchanges in the IPO market.
As part of its strategy to transform the UK listings space, Aquis has also been participating in the UK Listings Review chaired by Lord Hill. This review was launched in November 2020 by the Chancellor, as part of a plan to strengthen the UK's position as a leading global finance centre.
The Aquis Stock Exchange rulebook changes implemented in December 2020 have been operating in practice for a number of weeks, with new admissions to the Apex market required to publish a growth prospectus, facilitating private investor participation in Apex IPOs.
