The UK and dual-class stock-lite – Is it really even better than the real thing
In December 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) revised the Listing Rules applicable to companies listed on the London Stock Exchange’s (LSE) Main Market to permit the premium-tier listing of companies with specified weighted voting rights shares structures. The revision, broadly based upon the concept of “dual-class stock,” was premised on a desire to attract innovative, high-growth firms to the LSE. Founders would now be able to list th…

Will Listing Rule Reform Deliver Strong Public Markets for the UK
There is a general consensus that the UK needs strong public equity markets. To help to ensure Britain is well‐positioned on this front, the Financial Conduct Authority reformed the London Stock Exchange's listing regime in 2021 to foster initial public offerings (IPOs). This article outlines and evaluates these IPO‐related reforms, assessing their potential to resuscitate the UK's public equity markets. The article puts the IPO‐related reforms i…
Up the Hill and Down Again
The headline recommendation of Jonathan Hill's 2021 UK Listing Review was that dual-class shares structures be permitted on the London Stock Exchange's premium tier. The aspiration was to encourage more high-quality UK equity listings, particularly of high-growth tech-companies, for which dual-class shares are especially beneficial. Dual-class shares allow founders to list their companies, and retain majority-control, while holding significantly …
The Emperor's New Code? Time to Re‐Evaluate the Nature of Stewardship Engagement Under the UK's Stewardship Code
John Kingman's review of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) doubted the effectiveness of the UK's Stewardship Code in encouraging informed and engaged stewardship by institutional investors of the companies in which they invest (issuers). Accordingly, the FRC updated the Stewardship Code in 2020 in a final bid to prove its effectiveness and relevance, and, in particular, to enhance issuer‐specific engagement by institutional investors. The upd…
Finding the British Google
There is a dearth of British tech-companies listing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and the LSE lacks a large, innovative tech-company such as Google. The UK Government, concerned as to the loss of UK tech-companies to foreign acquirors, views the encouragement of UK tech-firm listings as a policy priority. Dual-class stock, currently prohibited from the LSE Main Market's premium-tier, allows founders to list their firms, and retain majority-…
Thinking Outside the Box – Eliminating the Perniciousness of Box‐Ticking in the New Corporate Governance Code
On 16 July 2018, a new corporate governance code was published. Like previous iterations, it applies on a ‘comply‐or‐explain’ basis, whereby companies are required to either comply with provisions or explain reasons for non‐compliance. However, the new code substantially simplified the previous version of the code in an attempt to attenuate the process of ‘box‐ticking’. Box‐ticking manifests itself firstly, by companies complying with the letter …
