A company whose shares are listed both on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (H shares) and on the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchange (A shares). Under Main Board Listing Rule 19A.04, 'H shares' means shares of a PRC issuer (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) that are listed on the Exchange and does not require an A-share listing; A+H shares are therefore a subset of H shares, and not every H share is an A+H share. This site's A+H list follows the preset 'AH shares' filter on the HKEX securities prices page. Basis: Main Board Listing Rule 19A.04.
