We offer a rapid review and approval same-day service for certain documents. Learn more about the submission and content requirements.
The Listings Department offers a same-day service (SDS) for the review and approval of most types of ‘routine’ supplementary prospectuses (SPs) and supplementary registration documents (SRDs) relating to non-equity (ie debt) documents.
The SDS is not available for a non-equity supplement:
- That exceeds 5 pages in length.
- That triggers a requirement for additional Annex disclosure cross-reference lists (e.g. if it contains pro forma financial information).
- Where there is no significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy (see PRM 10.1.7R).
Should you be in any doubt over whether a document qualifies for SDS, please submit it to us promptly (and in any case before the deadline below). We will contact you as soon as is possible to discuss whether it can be handled on a same-day basis.
SDS relies on accurate completion of the submission requirements below, and supplements to be prepared in a form consistent with our Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market (PRM) sourcebook and relevant published guidance. We will contact you as soon as possible if, upon receipt of your submission, we believe additional or amended information is required before we can approve your supplement.
All supplements (regardless of submission type) should comply with our Technical Note Primary Market /TN/605.5[1] relating to amendments to existing terms and conditions, drafting amendments or any amendments to any offer period or the offer amount; in particular, it is not possible to seek to add new securities to an existing prospectus or listing particulars.
SDS service for valid prospectuses approved under the UK Prospectus Regulation
If we approved a prospectus before 19 January 2026, and it remains valid after 18 January 2026, the existing UK Prospectus Regulation (UKPR) requirements for supplementary prospectuses continue to apply.
Issuers can still use the SDS service. However, when submitting between 19 January 2026 and 18 January 2027, issuers will need to confirm if they're seeking approval of any supplementary prospectus under the prospectus regime pre-19 January 2026 and that the pre-19 January 2026 prospectus remains valid.
Whether UKPR-approved prospectuses will be valid from 19 January 2026 will depend on the specific circumstances of the case and issuers may wish to consider seeking legal advice.
The saving provisions are in regulation 48 of the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 (POATR) and there are various transitional provisions contained in PRM and the UK Listing Rules.
When submitting a supplementary prospectus in reliance on the POATR saving provisions, use the UKPR forms[2].

Confirmation of receipt
When you have submitted a document, you will receive our electronic confirmation of receipt. A member of staff will contact you after we’ve reviewed the document to inform you we have approved it or that we cannot approve it in its current state.
