Impact Assessment
Market Impact: The transition from Trade for Trade to Rolling settlement is generally positive for stock liquidity. Trade for Trade segments require full upfront payment and delivery, restricting trading activity. Moving to Rolling settlement (M Group) allows for T+2 settlement cycles and potentially higher trading volumes.
Operational Impact: Trading members need to update their systems and trading protocols for this scrip. The change may attract more traders as Rolling settlement offers better flexibility compared to the restrictive Trade for Trade mechanism.
Investor Impact: Enhanced liquidity and easier trading mechanisms for existing and potential investors in WESTERN OVERSEAS STUDY ABROAD LIMITED shares.
Impact Justification
Medium importance as this affects trading mechanics for a single SME IPO stock, transitioning from restricted Trade for Trade to regular Rolling segment, improving liquidity but limited to one company
