An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Bank of Russia updated the requirements for the admission of securities to organized trading. The draft regulation is based on well-established practices that have developed in the market.

It is proposed to introduce a minimum volume of initial stock placements for listing quotations. The share of shares in free circulation will depend on the size of the issuer’s equity.

Issuers planning to go public must engage at least two independent analysts to assess the fair value of the company. After the offering, they should obtain stock ratings from two credit rating agencies.

The new listing rules will enshrine best practices of corporate governance. In particular, the document describes the criteria for the independence of board members, defines the proportion of independent directors, and lists mandatory committees, and so on.

In addition, all important information for investors will be consolidated. On their websites, exchanges will post issuer and security cards, as well as a calendar of upcoming public stock offerings.
