The ECM Directory fees chargeable to the companies are ECM Directory admission fee and ECM Directory annual fee. ECM Directory admission fee is charged on application basis for admission to the ECM Directory over the nominal value of the shares subject to application. The companies whose shares are included in the ECM Directory shall be charged an ECM Directory annual fee for each year their shares are included in the ECM Directory. The ECM Directory annual fee shall not be charged for the year in which the ECM Directory admission fee is paid.
If the company's shares are excluded from the ECM Directory, such fees are not refundable. If a company which had been delisted from the ECM Directory applies for re-inclusion of its shares in the ECM Directory, and the application is accepted by the Executive Council, it shall be charged an ECM Directory admission fee.
Companies pay 0.01 percent fee on admission to the ECM Directory, and ¼ of 0.01 percent in the following years over the nominal value of their shares included in the ECM Directory. However, ECM companies are exempt from these Exchange fees until 2013.
