Explanatory Note

This note is not part of the notice, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This notice approves amendments to the Rules relating to reporting that participants on NZX’s equity and debt markets are required to provide to NZX confirming that they have complied with several specific requirements of the Rules. The amendments reduce the frequency of that reporting from monthly to quarterly. Capital adequacy reporting remains monthly. Similar changes are being made to the NZX Derivatives Markets Rules.

The amended Rules will become effective on a date as determined by NZX in accordance with the Rules.
