Securities Lending
Do I need to notify changes in my shareholding according to the requirements in the Companies Act and Securities and Futures Act, if I am a substantial shareholder participating in securities lending?
Substantial shareholders who take part in securities lending arrangements are exempt from the substantial shareholding notification requirements under the Securities and Futures Act subject to certain conditions. However, if you are a director of a listed company, in accordance with the Securities and Futures Act you will need to disclose any change in your interest in the securities of the company within 2 business days of the change in interest. Do consult your professional adviser on your legal reporting obligations.
