Zuckerberg and Sandberg are listed as witnesses in eight-day Meta trial

FCA simplifies fundraising rules for listed firms

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced major reforms designed to simplify fundraising rules for listed companies, aiming to reduce costs and boost the City of London's global competitiveness. The most significant change is raising the threshold for requiring a prospectus from 20% to 75% of a company's existing share capital, effective from January. This move is expected to save businesses around £40m annually. However, the change has faced pushback from some industry groups, who fear it could reduce transparency and harm investor confidence. The FCA said that during consultations, some trade bodies had argued for the threshold to be raised to only 33% and voiced concern that "a higher threshold may result in information asymmetry between issuers and investors and create legal uncertainty, eroding the stability and reputation of UK markets." The reforms are part of broader efforts to revitalise the UK stock market and support economic growth.
