FPPP post-mortems

The window since 11 September 2026 produced no new case in which an authority stated that a listed or recently listed company's listing-related procedures failed; one older case that had not been covered is carried here. - The FCA items published in the window address financial crime, cryptoasset regulation, consumer vulnerability and SME finance, not listing procedures or FPPP. - The FRC news index returned navigation links only, with no concluded investigation or sanction retrievable from the fetched material. - The market announcements reviewed for the window are routine trading updates, results and AGM notices; none contained an admission or restatement bearing on procedures. - If no authority has stated that the procedures fell short, the case is not eligible, however the share price behaved.

The listing-rules watch

An inside-information procedure reacts to whatever arrives, so anyone who can forge an arrival can set it off — which puts authentication inside the procedure, not beside it. - Authenticate every unsolicited approach through contact details you sourced yourself, never the ones on the letter. - Log the check in the same record as the disclosure committee's assessment, so the order is visible. - Name in advance who decides what the company says if an unverified approach becomes public.
