This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)Listing rules must provide that no new securities for which an application for listing has been made may be admitted to the official list unless a prospectus has been submitted to, and approved by, the competent authority and published.
(2)“New securities” means securities which are to be offered to the public in the United Kingdom for the first time before admission to the official list.
(3)“Prospectus” means a prospectus in such form and containing such information as may be specified in listing rules.
(4)Nothing in this section affects the competent authority’s general power to make listing rules.
(1)If listing rules made under section 84 require a prospectus to be published before particular new securities are admitted to the official list, it is unlawful for any of those securities to be offered to the public in the United Kingdom before the required prospectus is published.
(2)A person who contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and liable—
(a)on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale;
(b)on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine, or both.
(3)A person is not to be regarded as contravening subsection (1) merely because a prospectus does not fully comply with the requirements of listing rules as to its form or content.
(4)But subsection (3) does not affect the question whether any person is liable to pay compensation under section 90.
(5)Any contravention of subsection (1) is actionable, at the suit of a person who suffers loss as a result of the contravention, subject to the defences and other incidents applying to actions for breach of statutory duty.
(1)The provisions of this Part apply in relation to a prospectus required by listing rules as they apply in relation to listing particulars.
(2)In this Part—
(a)any reference to listing particulars is to be read as including a reference to a prospectus; and
(b)any reference to supplementary listing particulars is to be read as including a reference to a supplementary prospectus.

(a)securities are to be offered to the public in the United Kingdom for the first time;
(b)no application for listing of the securities has been made under this Part; and
(c)the prospectus is submitted by, or with the consent of, the issuer of the securities.
(2)“Non-listing prospectus” means a prospectus submitted to the competent authority as a result of any listing rules made under subsection (1).
(3)Listing rules made under subsection (1) may make provision—
(a)as to the information to be contained in, and the form of, a non-listing prospectus; and
(b)as to the timing and manner of publication of a non-listing prospectus.
(4)The power conferred by subsection (3)(b) is subject to such provision made by or under any other enactment as the Treasury may by order specify.
