Entities Listing on HKEX Series – Post Offset LSP Issue and Guidance for Listed Companies (archived session) (ESEMEF350L01) In 2025, Hong Kong reclaimed the top global position in terms of IPO funds raised, reaching nearly HKD 286 billion, marking a 63% increase from 2024. The Hong Kong IPO market rebounded strongly in 2025, driven by measures to encourage listings by leading mainland enterprises, the streamlined listing process for large A-share listed companies and improved market liquidity and valuations with the return of international funds to Hong Kong. Out of 117 IPOs that recorded in Hong Kong in 2025 – a more than twofold rise (227%) that positioned the city at the forefront globally - 113 were Main Board companies listing, along with one listing by introduction, two de-SPAC, and one on GEM. The Main Board was dominated by companies in retail, consumer goods and services, information technology and telecommunications services, as well as healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Notably, 8 companies raised HK$10 billion or more, collectively accounting for more than 50% of the total IPO funds, demonstrating strong market enthusiasm for large IPOs. This Series of e-seminar will cover a wide range of topics, including capital market updates, IPO audit requirements, and valuing innovation for Chapters 18A and 18C companies. Sessions will also address updates on Hong Kong and China tax regulations, including the implementation of Pillar Two, regulatory requirements for listed company transactions, and cybersecurity. In addition, the program will explore the latest trends in technology and AI, AI governance, and managing data and cyber risks in Hong Kong. Climate-related disclosure requirements, post-offset LSP issues, and guidance for listed companies will also be discussed. Each session will highlight key points of the listing rules, guidance letters, listing decisions, and other relevant rules and regulations, supported by examples from published prospectus and circulars. Speakers will also share their practical experience on specific topics and common application issues, providing valuable insights for participants. The abolition of the MPF offset mechanism in May 2025 redefines LSP compliance and accounting in Hong Kong. This e-seminar offers essential guidance for Listed Companies. Topics include: - The regulatory foundation - timeline and impact on LSP calculations and reporting
- Operational challenges from both corporate and auditor perspectives
- Practical solutions for selecting valuation providers and new digital tools
- Critical review skills to validate assumptions and ensure compliant, transparent assessments
