Directors’ service contracts Effective October 4, 2021, the Listing Rules will be amended to replace the requirement that issuers display the aforesaid documents for physical inspection, with the requirement for such documents to be published online – on both the HKEx’s website and the issuer’s website – for the same period of time as they are currently required to be available for physical inspection. REDUCTION OF THE TYPES OF DOCUMENTS ON DISPLAY Presently, the Listing Rules require issuers to obtain shareholders’ approval for certain notifiable transactions and connected transactions. The issuer must issue a circular for the transaction in question and make available certain documents for inspection.
