What type of companies and securities can list on TOKYO AIM?
We welcome the listing of companies — whether from Japan, greater Asia, or indeed anywhere in the world — that require risk capital. No particular industry sector is deemed unsuitable for listing. The listings could take several forms, perhaps entailing common stock, classified stock, or trust beneficiary certificates. Paragraph (1) of Regulation 43 for Companies defines “Securities” as the 12 types of securities listed therein, and it is these 12 types that we consider to be within the scope of listing of these regulations. However, if considering listing the more uncommon types of securities within this definition, please contact TOKYO AIM early on. Convertible bonds and other bond-like instruments are not appropriate for TOKYO AIM as our systems cannot support such securities. TOKYO AIM will accommodate the needs of professional investors and other market participants in an actively by maintaining a flexible and disciplined market.
