On 5 May 2017, the SFC published new prescribed forms for disclosure of interests notifications. These new forms will replace the existing forms when filing of Part XV notifications must be done electronically from 3 July 2017 onwards. That is to say, substantial shareholders, directors and chief executives of listed corporations must submit Part XV notifications electronically with respect to their interests in securities of listed corporations.
For events triggering disclosure requirements which occur on or after 3 July 2017, filers must use the new prescribed forms (as set out in the column headed "Forms and directions effective from 3 July 2017" below) and submit them through a new Disclosure of Interests Online System (DION System) to be introduced by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX). From 3 July 2017, notifications and reports under Part XV of the 麻豆传媒 and Futures Ordinance must be filed electronically through the DION System and can no longer be submitted by hand, post, fax or email.
