ETN Listing Guidebook [Regarding Usage] ・This "ETN New Listing Guidebook" explains an outline of listing examination, timely disclosure, and delisting criteria and procedures when listing an ETN (Exchange Traded Note) issued by a corporation/vehicle which uses a Japanese Depositary Receipt (JDR) scheme on Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. * Please refer to the Securities Listing Regulations, Section 4, Chapter 4 "ETNs (Rule 941 – Rule 956)", etc. for details regarding ETN listing rules, listing examination criteria, timely disclosure criteriadelisting criteria, etc. ・This guidebook provides an outline of the rules when applying for listing of a JDR which has an ETN as a trust asset (beneficiary certificate). The term "ETN-JDR" generally refers to such JDRs in this guidebook, whereas "ETN" generally refers to the ETNs which are trust assets to such JDRs. ・The contents of trust agreements shown in this guidebook are examples, and do not indicate that trust agreements with differing contents will be deemed to not meet the listing examination criteria. ・The trust agreement contents contained in this guidebook were determined through discussions and mutual understanding between trust banks, financial instruments business operators (securities companies), securities depository centers, and other experts. Therefore, trust agreements with differing contents may require additional explanation during listing examination or adjustment with related parties in advance. ・Depending on the legal system and industry practices in the ETN's home country (the country or region of the ETN's creation or which contains the foreign financial instruments exchange on which the ETN is listed or continuously traded), the method of composition or contents of disclosure may differ. As a result, the legal system and industry practices of the home country will be considered when applying listing regulations, such as listing examination criteria. *Because listing rules differ for the listing of JDRs which have a "foreign stock" or a "foreign ETF" as a trust asset (beneficiary certificate), please consult with TSE separately. 1 ETN Listing Guidebook (Ver.10) Copyright ©2021 Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc.
