The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published a policy statement (PS25/9: New rules for the public offers and admissions to trading regime) under which it sets out the rules for the new regime that will apply in respect of prospectuses. This follows the consultation process the FCA undertook via the previous publication of consultation papers CP 25/2 and CP 24/12. The Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 (POATRs) will replace the UK Prospectus Regulation (UKPR). The POATRs are generally in line with the proposals consulted on, with some modifications to reflect feedback from market participants. The new rules will come into effect on 19 January 2026.
