A significant restructuring of the UK listing regime came into effect on 29 July 2024 which included the removal of the premium and standard listing segments and the creation of a single listing category for equity shares in commercial companies. The commercial companies category is heavily disclosure-based and sits alongside other listing categories such as the shell companies, secondary listing and closed ended investment fund categories.  The UK Listing Rules sourcebook came into force to implement the changes and the Listing Rules sourcebook was revoked. In addition, the London Stock Exchange closed the High Growth segment. For further information see Practice Note: Reform of the UK listing regime—fundamentals. This checklist reflects the listing regime prior to 29 July 2024 and has been retained for reference purposes.

This checklist compares the eligibility requirements for a former premium listing, a former standard listing, an admission to the former High Growth Segment of the Main Market and admission to trading on AIM as the eligibility requirements applied immediately prior to 29 July 2024.
