Once admitted into this Watch-list, the company will need to submit an application (upon meeting the criteria of Rule 1314) within 24 months after it was placed onto the Watch-list, failing which it might be forced to delist or trading of its shares might be suspended.

Under Rule 1314, the company will need to show :
The Watch-list rules do not apply to investment funds, real-estate investment trusts, business trusts, global depository receipts (GDRs) and secondary-listed companies listed on the Mainboard.
