就上市要求提出建议
易周律师行为矿业公司提供关于香港联合交易所(「联交所」)主板及创业板的上市要求的咨询服务。联交所2010年更新了矿业公司和石油公司的上市要求。更新的要求旨在通过为投资者提供重要资料、相关和可靠信息的框架及根据全球标准整合联交所规则,鼓励更多矿业公司在香港上市。
根据《上市规则》,如果公司的主要业务(即相当于申请人及其附属公司总资产、总收入或运营成本的25%或以上的业务)(「主要业务」)是勘探及/或开采天然资源,该公司就被定义为矿业公司。现有的上市公司将被认为是矿业公司,如果其进行的主要收购是矿业或石油资产(即现有业务的25%或更多)。
矿业公司可通过满足《上市规则》第8.05条所载财务営运纪录要求之一(「往绩记录测试」)寻求上市。不能满足任何一个往绩记录测试的矿业公司(勘探和预生产阶段的公司)如可以确定董事和高级管理人员有足够的、与申请者将从事的勘探和/或开采天然资源活动相关的经验,仍有可能申请上市,申请人还须有公认报告准则确认的资源(矿产资源)或「后备资源」(石油资源)的组合,而有关组合已获合资格独立专家报告证实。申请人还须在所投资资产中占有大部分(按金额计)控制权益及对所勘探及/或开采天然资源占有足够权利,从而对勘探及/或开采天然资源的决定有足够的影响力。
