In conjunction with this determination, the HKSE last week published its Israel country guide, available here. This landmark approval makes the HKSE a viable alternative for Israeli companies considering a foreign IPO. We note that the HKSE’s approval is currently limited to foreign listed Israeli public companies and Israeli private companies seeking a listing on the HKSE. It does not extend to Israeli public companies with a listing or proposed listing on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. We have worked closely with the HKSE to obtain Israel’s approval as a listing jurisdiction and would be happy to speak with you further about the applicable securities laws and regulations for listing in Hong Kong.
