About
[English-only Programme] Specifically designed for directors of Hong Kong listed companies, this course provides a practical overview of the regulatory and governance issues arising from digital asset-related activities under the Hong Kong Listing Rules and HKEX Guidance Letter HKEX-GL122-26. You will learn how the Listing Rules apply to digital asset investments, treasury activities, tokenisation projects and related fundraising, including key issues concerning continued listing suitability, sufficiency of operations, cash company rules, reverse takeovers, notifiable and connected transactions, aggregation and shareholder approval requirements. Through practical scenarios and selected market precedents, this course aims to help directors identify regulatory red flags, challenge management proposals and make properly informed board decisions before entering into material digital asset-related activities. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with a clear framework for assessing the business rationale, Listing Rules implications, disclosure obligations and governance controls associated with digital assets, helping your board manage innovation within an appropriate compliance and risk management framework. 1 CPD point (for about 1-hour training) will be given for completing this module.
