On 11 November 2025, the FSC announced the draft amendments to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Foreign Issuers. We summarize below:
(1) The operational procedures for amending fundraising plans have been revised to align with the practical workflow for foreign issuers implementing such changes.
(2) To enhance the fundraising management and information disclosure for foreign issuers, it is stipulated that the issuance of new shares for acquiring assets in a spin-off may be exempt from public offering, provided that the original lead underwriter is subsequently commissioned to assess the impact on the company's finances, business operations, and shareholder equity.
(3) Primary listed (or OTC-listed) companies and emerging market companies are now permitted to issue new shares as consideration for acquiring another company's assets in a spin-off, and such issuance may be exempt from public offering.
(4) The content requirements for the annual reports of primary listed (or OTC-listed) companies and emerging market companies shall follow the same rules applicable to domestic public companies.
(5) Foreign financial institutions are now allowed to use a shelf registration for issuing plain corporate bonds through their branches, provided that the institution commits to assuming full responsibility for the bonds and its own stock or its parent company's stock has been listed on a recognized overseas securities market for a specified period.
