Beijing Stock Exchange opened public consultation on amendments to its Listing
Review Rules, proposing changes to the simplified listing procedure. Revisions
would: (1) alter the bidding/price-discovery process for simplified issues and
clarify the board’s timing for determining issue price and target investors; (2)
amend the simplified-procedure negative list so cases involving intermediaries
would carry public reprimand or stronger disciplinary measures as the minimum
sanction, rather than unspecified internal disciplinary penalties.
