Dual class Premium listings: no reason for the reservations?

In the UK Listing Review it is suggested that the LSE should allow companies with dual class share (DCS) structures to list on the Premium segment. In this article, we discuss this proposal. First, we discuss the arguments that are made against DCS-listings, and we give an overview of the Swedish DCS-regulation. From there, we discuss the conditions for DCS-listing recommended in the Review. We conclude that the listing conditions suggested might not only hinder DCS-structures from being useful for some companies but would risk disabling mechanisms that could counteract several of the problems that DCS-structures may cause.
