The update concerns takeover code exemptions for Catalist-listed issuers, which relates to equity securities and cross-border investment facilitation, but the focus is primarily on regulatory relief and administrative streamlining rather than core equity trading, issuance, or settlement activities.
Investment Services is the mandatory parent tag for Equities; the exemption facilitates cross-border investment and capital market access for equity issuers, supporting the investment services dimension.
Specialism
The update concerns regulatory relief and exemptions from takeover code requirements for cross-listed entities, which relates to market conduct and regulatory authorization frameworks, though the specific regulatory mechanism is administrative rather than substantive.
Mandatory inheritance: Authorisation is a child of Supervision, so Supervision must be raised as the secondary tag, though this update is primarily administrative in nature and lacks enforcement or substantive conduct elements.

TITLE: New Zealand Takeovers Panel Issues Exemption Notice for Catalist Public Market Issuers
BODY:
On June 16, 2026, the New Zealand Gazette published notice of secondary legislation made by the Takeovers Panel (TP). The Takeovers Code (Catalist Public Market Issuers) Exemption Notice 2026 was made on May 29, 2026, under Section 45 of the Takeovers Act 1993.
The exemption notice provides relief from takeover code requirements for issuers listed on the Catalist public market. Catalist is Singapore Exchange's growth platform for emerging companies, and this exemption recognises the specific regulatory framework and characteristics of companies operating on that market. By exempting Catalist-listed issuers from certain takeover code provisions, the TP aims to reduce regulatory duplication and facilitate cross-border investment while maintaining appropriate investor protections within the New Zealand regulatory framework.
The exemption applies to New Zealand entities with securities listed on Catalist, streamlining their compliance obligations and reducing the administrative burden of adhering to multiple overlapping regulatory regimes. This development reflects the TP's approach to accommodating international market structures and supporting New Zealand companies accessing offshore capital markets.
The secondary legislation is accessible via the New Zealand legislation website at www.legislation.govt.nz.
