What is PISCES

The aim is to allow unlisted companies to scale by providing liquidity and potentially reshape the shareholder base, strengthening the current core equity capital, by streamlining price clarity, the shareholder profile and the growth and income expectations.

PISCES will allow trading in unlisted shares on a defined basis yet to be developed fully. The aim is to promote the UK as a good place for fostering company growth and achieving full listed company status. The PISCES proposal is open for public consultation with HMT until 17 April 2024, with trading expected to start sometime in 2025.

PISCES has deep implications for share incentives, employee share ownership and corporate governance of these companies. It will heighten their accountability to a wider, and potentially more demanding, set of shareholders than the current founders, family companies and PE backed concerns which would otherwise be in point. It also eases the use of shares in executive compensation plans and broad-based share plans considerably, and so will help these important fast growth companies compete for high class talent against their bigger rivals.
