Stock Exchange Listing

/ Services / Services for Joint Stock Companies /

Pursuant to article 24 of Ukraine's 'Law on Joint Stock Companies' (No514-17 from 17.09.08), all public joint stock companies are required to register shares in the company, at a minimum, with one stock exchange in Ukraine.

Furthermore, the article states that the signing of any purchase-sale agreement of shares in a public joint stock company may only be completed on the stock exchange where the shares are listed. Therefore, the article forbids transactions with shares of public companies to be completed OTC. Issuers whose stocks are in an exchange's non-listed register and which are interested in retaining their position on the exchanges are required to list the stock, even if they are also registered on another stock exchange.

Ukraine currently has 11 trading platforms. The most active among them are the following:

• First Stock Trading System (PFTS),
• Ukrainian Interbank Currency Exchange (UICE),
• Ukrainian Stock Exchange (USE).
