Note to subscribers for the amendments to the rules governing the listing of securities on the Growth Enterprise Market (the "GEM Listing Rules")

Update No. 27

September 2008

Dear Sirs,

Minor Rule amendments  

We enclose reprinted pages of the GEM Listing Rules. The reprinted pages incorporate the final versions of those minor amendments set out for public exposure in the “Combined Consultation Paper on Proposed Changes to the Listing Rules” published by the Exchange in January 2008 which remained to be implemented. These include amendments to reduce further the numbers of hard copies of documents which issuers are required to provide to the Exchange under the GEM Listing Rules.

We also enclose the filing instructions.  

Coming into effect

The amendments will become effective on 1 September 2008.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited
