6. (6)

7. (7)

   for a securitised derivative that relates to a single underlying instrument, the underlying instrument is suspended;

8. (8)

   for a securitised derivative that relates to a basket of underlying instrument, one or more underlying instruments of the basket are suspended; or

1The FCA will not suspend the listing of a security to fix its price at a particular level.

1An issuer that intends to request the FCA to suspend the listing of its securities will need to comply with UKLR 21.3. The FCA will not suspend the listing if it is not satisfied that the circumstances justify the suspension.
