在《上市规则》中,联交所对信息披露规则的规定采用了一般规定结合具体规定的模式(一般披露责任+具体披露责任),一般披露规则规定了信息披露的基本原则和概括要求,而具体披露规定则明确了在特定事项下的信息披露规则。
本摘要亦根据《上市规则》的规定模式,对相关的披露规则进行了简要分类。
一、信息披露的一般规定【基于《上市规则》第13.05条-13.10条】(一)信息披露的原则1、信息披露持续责任的目的及披露的原则。
本章所载涉及信息披露的持续责任,旨在确保发行人在《上市规则》第13.09条所述情况下,实时公布有关数据。
指导性的原则是:凡预期属股价敏感的数据,均须在董事会作出决定后实时公布。
在公布数据之前,发行人及其顾问必须严守秘密。
【第13.05条】2、一般披露责任与具体披露责任的关系。
第十三章所规范的披露责任是在遵循《上市规则》第13.09条的一般性的原则下,为发行人提出的向其证券持有人及公众披露资料的特定要求。
基于此,该章所提出的特定情况并不可取代《上市规则》第13.09条所载的一般披露责任,无论如何也不会减省发行人根据《上市规则》第13.09条所应负的责任。
【第13.06条】3、董事对信息披露的责任。
为遵循第十三章所规定的与信息披露有关的持续责任,发行人的董事必须确保不会在一方没有掌握股价敏感资料而另一方则管有该等资料的情况下进行买卖。
【第13.07条】4、联交所所对信息披露的自由裁量权。
为了使信息披露维持在高水平,交易所可在认为必要时,要求发行人发表进一步的资料及向其施加额外的规定,但在施加任何并非一般对发行人实施的规定前,有关发行人可作出申述。

公司应按照《证券法》和相关法律法规的要求,编制并披露年度报告、中期报告、季度报告,以及其他有关重大事项的及时报告。
同时,公司还应制定并严格执行内幕信息管理制度,以保障投资者的合法权益。
三、内幕交易管理第c.14段明确规定了内幕交易的禁止,要求上市公司的高级管理人员、董事会成员、监事会成员、核心技术人员等相关人员不得利用未公开信息进行交易。
同时,上市公司有责任建立健全的内幕信息管理制度,加强对内幕信息的监控和防范,确保市场公平公正。
四、市场操纵规定第c.14段还涉及到对市场操纵行为的规定。
上市公司及其相关人员不得参与操纵证券市场的行为,不得散布虚假信息或进行不当宣传,确保市场信息的真实性和公正性。
同时,上市公司应配合相关监管部门的调查和核实工作,积极维护市场秩序和投资者利益。
五、处罚措施第c.14段对于违反上市规则的行为也做了相应的处罚措施规定。
一旦发现证券市场的违法违规行为,监管部门将依法采取相应的处罚措施,包括但不限于警告、罚款、停牌、撤销上市等措施,以维护市场秩序和投资者的权益。
六、总结第c.14段是上市规则附录十中关于证券上市的重要规定之一,主要着重于信息披露、内幕交易管理和市场操纵等方面。
上市公司应严格按照该规则的要求,及时披露相关信息,建立健全的内幕信息管理制度,防范市场操纵行为。

其次是盈利能力要求,企业需在过去三年中有稳定的盈利能力。
企业还需满足流通性要求、财务指标要求等。
二、公司治理联交所非常重视公司治理,在上市规则中也对公司治理方面有相应要求。
企业需要确保合理、有效且透明的公司治理机制,包括独立董事制度、内部控制和风险管理机制等。

In this regard, the listed issuer must determine whether or not to consult its fi nancial, legal or other professional advisers. Listed issuers or advisers which are in any doubt as to the application of the requirements in this Chapter should consult the Exchange at an early stage.14.06 The transaction classifi cation is made by using the percentage ratios set out in rule 14.07.The classifi cations are:—(1) share transaction — an acquisition of assets (excluding cash) by a listed issuerwhere the consideration includes securities for which listing will be sought andwhere all percentage ratios are less than 5%;(2) discloseable transaction — a transaction or a series of transactions (aggregatedunder rules 14.22 and 14.23) by a listed issuer where any percentage ratio is 5% ormore, but less than 25%;(3) major transaction — a transaction or a series of transactions (aggregated under rules14.22 and 14.23) by a listed issuer where any percentage ratio is 25% or more, butless than 100% for an acquisition or 75% for a disposal;(4) very substantial disposal — a disposal or a series of disposals (aggregated underrules 14.22 and 14.23) of assets (including deemed disposals referred to in rule14.29) by a listed issuer where any percentage ratio is 75% or more;(5) very substantial acquisition — an acquisition or a series of acquisitions (aggregatedunder rules 14.22 and 14.23) of assets by a listed issuer where any percentage ratiois 100% or more; and(6) reverse takeover — an acquisition or a series of acquisitions of assets by a listedissuer which, in the opinion of the Exchange, constitutes, or is part of a transactionor arrangement or series of transactions or arrangements which constitute, anattempt to achieve a listing of the assets to be acquired and a means to circumventthe requirements for new applicants set out in Chapter 8 of the Exchange ListingRules. A “reverse takeover” normally refers to:(a) an acquisition or a series of acquisitions (aggregated under rules 14.22 and14.23) of assets constituting a very substantial acquisition where there is orwhich will result in a change in control (as defi ned in the Takeovers Code) ofthe listed issuer (other than at the level of its subsidiaries); or(b) acquisition(s) of assets from a person or a group of persons or any of his/theirassociates pursuant to an agreement, arrangement or understanding enteredinto by the listed issuer within 24 months of such person or group of personsgaining control (as defined in the Takeovers Code) of the listed issuer (otherthan at the level of its subsidiaries), where such gaining of control had not beenregarded as a reverse takeover, which individually or together constitute(s)a very substantial acquisition. For the purpose of determining whether theacquisition(s) constitute(s) a very substantial acquisition, the lower of:(A) the latest published figures of the asset value, revenue and profi ts asshown in the listed issuer’s accounts and the market value of the listedissuer at the time of the change in control, which must be adjusted inthe manner set out in rules 14.16, 14.17, 14.18 and 14.19, as applicable,up to the time of the change in control; and(B) the latest published figures of the asset value, revenue and profi ts asshown in the listed issuer’s accounts and the market value of the listedissuer at the time of the acquisition(s), which must be adjusted in themanner set out in rules 14.16, 14.17, 14.18 and 14.19, as applicable,is to be used as the denominator of the percentage ratios.Note: Rule 14.06(6) will apply irrespective of whether any general offerobligations under the Takeovers Code have been waived.Percentage ratios14.07 The percentage ratios are the fi gures, expressed as percentages resulting from each of thefollowing calculations:—(1) Assets ratio — the total assets which are the subject of the transaction divided bythe total assets of the listed issuer (see in particular rules 14.09 to 14.12, 14.16,14.18 and 14.19);(2) Profits ratio — the profits attributable to the assets which are the subject of thetransaction divided by the profi ts of the listed issuer (see in particular rules 14.13 and14.17);(3) Revenue ratio — the revenue attributable to the assets which are the subject of thetransaction divided by the revenue of the listed issuer (see in particular rules 14.14and 14.17);(4) Consideration ratio — the consideration divided by the total market capitalisation ofthe listed issuer. The total market capitalisation is the average closing price of thelisted issuer’s securities as stated in the Exchange’s daily quotations sheets for thefi ve business days immediately preceding the date of the transaction (see in particularrule 14.15); and(5) Equity capital ratio — the nominal value of the listed issuer’s equity capital issued asconsideration divided by the nominal value of the listed issuer’s issued equity capitalimmediately before the transaction.Note: The value of the listed issuer’s debt capital (if any), including any preference shares, shall not be included in the calculation of the equity capital ratio.Listed issuers must consider all the percentage ratios to the extent applicable for classifying a transaction. In the case of an acquisition where the target entity uses accounting standards different from those of the listed issuer, the listed issuer must, where applicable, perform an appropriate and meaningful reconciliation of the relevant fi gures for the purpose of calculating the percentage ratios.14.08 The table below summarises the classification and percentage ratios resulting from thecalculations set out in rule 14.07. However, listed issuers should refer to the relevant rules for the specifi c requirements.Transaction Assets Consideration Profi ts Revenue Equityratio type ratio ratio ratio ratio capital Share transaction less than 5% less than 5% less than 5% Less than 5% less than 5%Discloseable 5% or more 5% or more 5% or more 5% or more 5% or moretransaction but less than but less than but less than but less than but less than25% 25% 25% 25%25%Major transaction 25% or more 25% or more 25% or more 25% or more Not applicable– disposal but less than but less than but less than but less than75%75% 75%75%Major transaction 25% or more 25% or more 25% or more 25% or more 25% or more– acquisition but less than but less than but less than but less than but less than100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Very substantial 75% or more 75% or more 75% or more 75% or more Not applicabledisposalVery substantial 100% or more 100% or more 100% or more 100% or more 100% or moreacquisitionNote: The equity capital ratio relates only to an acquisition (and not a disposal) by a listed issuer issuing new equity capital.Assets14.09 Where the asset being acquired or disposed of constitutes equity capital, the listed issuermust take into account the matters referred to in rules 14.25 to 14.32 when calculating the amount of total assets which are the subject of the transaction.14.10 Where the equity capital to be acquired or disposed of by the listed issuer is listed on theMain Board or GEM, the total assets which are the subject of the transaction must be adjusted in the manner set out in rules 14.16, 14.18 and 14.19.14.11 Where a listed issuer which is a property company, shipping company or aircraft companyacquires or disposes of properties, vessels or aircraft respectively, the aggregate value (on an unencumbered basis) of the properties, vessels or aircraft (as the case may be) being acquired or realised will be compared with the total assets of the listed issuer which must be adjusted in the manner set out in rules 14.16, 14.18 and 14.19 or the latest published valuation (on an unencumbered basis) of the properties, vessels or aircraft (as the case may be) if such valuation is published after the issue of accounts of the listed issuer, where appropriate.14.12 Where the transaction involves granting an indemnity or guarantee or providing fi nancialassistance by a listed issuer, the assets ratio will be modifi ed such that the total value of the indemnity, guarantee or fi nancial assistance plus in each case any monetary advantage accruing to the entity benefiting from the transaction shall form the numerator of the assets ratio. The “monetary advantage” includes the difference between the actual value of consideration paid by the entity benefiting from the transaction and the fair value of consideration that would be paid by the entity if the indemnity, guarantee or fi nancial assistance were provided by entities other than the listed issuer.Profi ts14.13 Profits mean net profits after deducting all charges except taxation and before minorityinterests and extraordinary items (See also rule 14.17). In the case of an acquisition or disposal of assets (other than equity capital) through a non wholly-owned subsidiary, the profits attributable to the assets acquired or disposed of (and not the listed issuer’s proportionate interest in such profi ts) will form the numerator for the purpose of the profi ts ratio.Revenue14.14 “Revenue” normally means revenue arising from the principal activities of a companyand does not include those items of revenue and gains that arise incidentally. In the case of any acquisition or disposal of assets (other than equity capital) through a non wholly-owned subsidiary, the revenue attributable to the assets being acquired or realised (and not the listed issuer’s proportionate interest in such revenue) will form the numerator for the purpose of the revenue ratio (See also rule 14.17).Consideration14.15 When calculating the consideration ratio:—(1) the value of the consideration shall be the fair value of the consideration determinedat the date of the agreement of the transaction in accordance with applicableaccounting standards adopted for the preparation of the listed issuer’s annual fi nancialstatements. Normally, the fair value of the consideration should be the same asthe fair value of the asset which is the subject of the transaction. Where there is asignifi cant disparity between the fair value of the consideration and the fair value ofthe asset, the listed issuer must use the higher of the fair value of the considerationand the fair value of the asset as the numerator of the consideration ratio;(2) where a transaction involves establishing a joint venture entity or other form of jointarrangement, the Exchange will aggregate:—(a) the listed issuer’s total capital commitment (whether equity, loan orotherwise), including any contractual commitment to subscribe for capital; and(b) any guarantee or indemnity provided in connection with its establishment;Note: Where a joint venture entity or other form of joint arrangement isestablished for a future purpose, for example to develop a property,and the total capital commitment cannot be calculated at the outset,the Exchange will require the listed issuer to recalculate the relevantpercentage ratios at the time when that purpose is carried out.
