To list on the NSX it is required that a Nominated Adviser is
appointed to assist the issuer with the admission procedure and
compliance with ongoing obligations under the NSX Rules. This
sections explains in detail the role of the advisers and other steps to
be taken in order to list securities on the NSX.
Eligibility
The appointed adviser can only be a registered NSX Nominated Adviser.
Eligible organisations are stockbrokers, banker, lawyers, accountants or
other professionals experienced in corporate finance.
Their Role
The Nominated Advisers role is to help the issuer’s board with the
application process by ensuring that the directors have been guided and
advised on their responsibilities and obligations under the NSX rules.
The Nominated Adviser also will explain the NSX rules to the board
although specialist may be needed to cover areas of the rules that fall
outside of the adviser’s range of expertise.
Because the directors are responsible for compliance with the NSX’s
rules, it is essential that they are confident that they understand
their responsibilities and have taken the steps required to ensure the
information in the application for listing is complete and correct.
At the time of admission, the nominated adviser will confirm to the NSX
that the issuer has complied with the relevant rules.
Once the securities are admitted to the market, the nominated adviser
needs to be available at all times to guide and advise the issuer and
provide further assistance as needed.
