Abstract
One of the ways of financing enterprises in Poland may be obtaining proceeds from the issue of shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, in particular, through the initial public offering (IPO). The attractiveness of this type of financing is determined by many factors, of which legal regulations are important. The purpose of this article is to analyse and assess the impact of the most important regulatory changes on the attractiveness of initial public offerings on the WSE. In the first place, the new rules in the area of public offerings, which have a direct impact on the perception of IPOs as a form of corporate financing, are examined. In the second, the legal changes concerning the functioning on the stock exchange market, which also indirectly affect the companies’ decisions to enter the stock exchange, are investigated. Finally, the significance of legal changes for the IPO market in Poland is presented. The new regulations on public offerings do not restrict access to the stock exchange market, while changes in the sphere of a company’s functioning on the stock exchange may be perceived by issuers as a significant nuisance, discouraging companies from making a decision to list their shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
