[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] The Korea Exchange announced on the 28th that it will revise the detailed enforcement rules of the listing regulations as a follow-up measure to the amendment of regulations allowing merger listings through the SPAC extinction method.
The Exchange plans to implement the revision in line with the expected amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act next month, after collecting opinions from stakeholders and investors.
