About this event

In recent years, leading global stock exchanges including Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Tokyo and Shanghai's STAR market have permitted issuers to list with dual class share structures to encourage more tech and other high-innovation company listings. Then, at the end of 2020, the UK government commenced a consultation on the possibility of loosening the London Premium Listing sector's characteristic hostility to weighted voting structures. Against this backdrop, is it now time for the ASX to consider following suit and reforming its longstanding one share/one vote rule with respect to Australian listed companies?
