There is no additional requirement, and no change to the normal listing requirements, that would apply to very large multinational companies or small companies. However, a smaller company may wish to consider whether the listing of and quotation for its securities would be more appropriate on the ACE Market (to which a separate regime applies).

Similarly, there are no industries for which the normal listing or maintenance rules do not apply, or apply in modified form, except that:

  • Additional disclosure requirements apply to a listed issuer in the business of plantation or timber, which must immediately announce to the Bursa Malaysia the production figures for each month not later than the end of the subsequent month.
  • A listed issuer which fulfils the criteria prescribed in relation to MOG related activities (in other words, if its MOG exploration or extraction activities represent 25% or more of its total assets, revenue, operating expenses or after-tax profit) must comply with additional disclosure requirements.
  • An infrastructure project corporation must immediately announce to the Bursa Malaysia any substantial variance in its earnings and cash flow projections that may have an adverse impact on its earning prospects at any time during the period of construction of the infrastructure project and for three years after operating pre-tax profits are generated.
  • An infrastructure project corporation must also announce the quarterly progress reports on its infrastructure project, not later than two months after the end of each quarter of a financial year.

There are no procedures to procure a "fast track" or expedited listing for companies. However, consultation meetings with the SC prior to submission of the corporate proposal for listing may assist in expediting the SC's review of the proposal. Separately, a company which has been listed on the ACE Market may seek a transfer of listing to the Main Market via an accelerated transfer process if it complies with the requirements prescribed by the SC.
