Amending instrument recorded in the amendment notes of the CMA Technical Service Fees (CMA Decision No. 32/Chairman of 2018). The CMA has consolidated its changes into that text and keeps this instrument in its archive of amending regulations.

Summary

Chairman's Resolution No. 29/Chairman of 2023 is listed in the CMA Rulebook as an amending instrument of the CMA Technical Service Fees (Chairman's Resolution No. 32/Chairman of 2018), issued and effective on 8 May 2023. The CMA does not publish its text; its change appears only in the consolidated fee schedule.

According to the amendment notes, it added to the remarks on the fee for registering bonds and sukuk for listing an exemption: companies listing green and sustainability-linked bonds and sukuk do not pay the registration fee charged by the Authority for requests filed in 2023. The ordinary fee on that item is an AED 2,000 application fee and 0.01% of the issue value, capped at AED 30,000. The exemption was extended to requests filed in 2024 by Resolution 15/Chairman of 2024; the consolidated schedule records no further extension.

Who it applies to

Companies that registered green or sustainability-linked bonds or sukuk for listing on a UAE market with requests filed during 2023.

Key provisions

In practice — how Polaris handles it

We mention this exemption when a client's group considered a green or sustainability-linked issue and wants to know what the CMA charged at the time. Polaris is not licensed by the CMA and does not arrange issues; we explain the approvals needed, form and administer the issuing vehicle, coordinate with the licensed advisers and the CMA portal, and budget from the current consolidated schedule.
