Pursuant to Sect.32 Börsengesetz [BörsG, German Stock Exchange Act], securities to be traded at a stock exchange on a Regulated Market have to be admitted to listing and included by the management board of the respective stock exchange. The admission is an authorization under public law granting the right to use the stock trading systems. Therefore the admission procedure is governed by public law and the admission to trading on the Regulated Market is an administrative act.

Pursuant to Sect. 32 Paragraph 3 BörsG the company is entitled to the admission to its securities, if such securities meets the requirements set forth in Article 35 of the Regulation (EC) No. 1287/2006 and complies with the provisions serving the purposes of investors’ protection and safeguarding of orderly stock exchange trading pursuant to Sect. 34 BörsG. Article 35 of the Regulation (EC) No. 1287/2006 provides for the free tradability of securities and defines whether a security is considered tradable in a fair, orderly and efficient manner. This is the case if, among other facts, the securities are sufficiently wide-spread and if information for their evaluation is available. These aforementioned and additional requirements are reviewed pursuant to the Börsenzulassungs-Verordnung [BörsZulV, German Stock Exchange Admission Regulation]. Employing the legal authorization contained in Sect. 34 BörsG, the regulator determined in detail the requirements for admission to the Regulated Market in the Stock Exchange Admission Regulation. The following aspects, above all, are checked according to the BörsZulV in the course of the admission procedure:

• minimum amount and minimum quantity of securities
• duration of the issuer’s existence
• legal basis of the securities
• tradability of the securities
• denomination of the securities
• obligation for admission of all securities of the same category or issue
• print layout of the securities
• sufficient spreading of the securities

The admission procedure is initiated by an electronic application for admission. The admission of securities to the General Standard is to be provided by the issuer of the securities. It is possible to represent the issuer by authorizing a third party (e.g. group company, service provider, bank, consultant, law firm).

The application for admission must be signed by the applicant and submitted via the electronic eListing platform, with proxy permissive, and supplemented by adequate documents/records to furnish necessary evidence. Sect. 48 Paragraph 1 BörsZulV explains the General Standard application’s necessary contents. It has to state name and registered offices of the company as well as class and amount of the securities to be admitted to trading.

The documents to be submitted are listed in Sect.48 Paragraph 2 BörsZulV. Therefore, the application for admission of securities to the Regulated Market must be attached specifically:

• Extract from commercial register
• Company Memorandum / Articles of Association
• PRIIPs-KID / Key Information Document
• Proof of securitization
• Sales Prospectus/ Prospectus (Approval, notification)
• Approval of the fund/sub-fund by the competent Financial Supervisory Authority (ETFs)
• Evidence of the notification of the sub-fund by the competent Financial Supervisory Authority (ETFs)
• Final Terms (ETN/ETC)
• Corporate resolutions

If necessary for assessing that the admission requirements are met, further documents must be submitted to the Management Board of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as requested.
