Following a subsequent market consultation exercise regarding corporate WVR beneficiaries that was conducted in 2020, HKEx concluded that it would, as an interim measure, permit Greater China Issuers that were already listed on a Qualifying Exchange and controlled by a corporate WVR beneficiary on or before 30 October 2020 to be treated as Grandfathered Greater China Issuers for the purposes of listing in Hong Kong, and thus could undertake a listing on HKEx without changing their WVR arrangements. This position has now been formalized in the amended Listing Rules.
