Chapter 6 of the Listing Rules sets out the Exchange's requirement for suspension and withdrawal of listing on the Exchange. In February 2000, amendments were made to Chapter 6 to provide for the Exchange to direct resumption in securities that are already suspended. Consequently, the Exchange has amended various rule references to Chapter 6 in rules 15A.87, 19A.12 and Practice Note 17, paragraph 2.4 of the Main Board Listing Rules.

The above rule amendments will apply with immediate effect. Reprinted pages of the Exchange Listing Rules will be distributed in due course. The revised rules will also be available for viewing on HKExs website at http://www.hkex.com.hk from 5 September 2001.
