Foreign Exempt Issuers

A company that is already listed on a recognised foreign exchange may be eligible for Foreign Exempt issuer status

This is an effective method to achieve a secondary listing which offers international companies a new source of capital from the New Zealand market, greater brand credibility and increased liquidity with new investors

A Foreign Exempt issuer can efficiently access the New Zealand capital market without further compliance requirements by meeting their home exchange obligations

An additional NZX listing will provide you with:

• Access to an ongoing New Zealand capital base that will enable growth
• A liquidity platform for existing shareholders to realise returns
• Enhanced efficiency due to disciplined governance and reporting requirements
• Greater brand awareness and bolster the value proposition in the New Zealand market
• Potential eligibility to NZX market indices
