  • Circular

    • 14A.46

      The listed issuer must send a circular to its shareholders:

      (1) at the same time or before the listed issuer gives notice of the general meeting if the connected transaction is to be approved by shareholders in a general meeting; or
      (2) if no general meeting is to be held, within 15 business days after publication of the announcement. The listed issuer may apply for a waiver from this requirement if it requires additional time to prepare the circular.

      Note: See rules 14A.69 and 14A.70 for the content requirements.

    • 14A.47

      If the listed issuer expects a delay in distribution of the circular by the date previously announced (see rule 14A.68(11)), it must announce this fact, the reason for the delay and the new expected date of distribution of the circular as soon as practicable and in any event before the original despatch date.

    • Supplementary circular or announcement (14A.48)

      • 14A.48

        If the listed issuer is aware of any material information relating to the connected transaction after it has issued the circular, it must publish this information in a supplementary circular or announcement at least 10 business days before the date of the general meeting to consider the transaction. The meeting must be adjourned by the chairman or, if that is not permitted by the listed issuer's constitutional documents, by resolution to that effect if it is necessary for the compliance with the 10 business day requirement. (See rule 13.73 for the factors that the listed issuer should consider when deciding whether to issue a supplementary circular or announcement.)
