The traditional stock exchange is no longer the only means of accessing the capital markets. By introducing the EU Listing Act, the EU is aiming to make capital market financing simpler, faster and more attractive. But will it succeed? Or will tokenized forms of financing via crypto trading platforms evolve into a serious alternative to raising capital through traditional stock exchanges? We will address these questions at our CERHA HEMPEL Legal Perspectives event "Listing Act: Raising Capital on the Stock Exchange – and Beyond".
Oliver Völkel and Volker Glas will discuss current regulatory developments and the practical implementation of the EU Listing Act together with Martin Wenzl from the Vienna Stock Exchange.
The focus will be on:
• Traditional IPOs versus the tokenization of company shares
• New developments regarding stock exchange listing
• Changes to prospectus law
• The practical implementation of the EU Listing Act
