A company that has satisfied the requirements for any class of its securities to be admitted to the Official List maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). A listed company is subject to the Listing Rules. While to be listed, equity shares must be admitted to trading on a UK regulated market, such as the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE), to be listed all other securities must be admitted to trading on a market for listed securities of a recognised investment exchange (RIE) (LR 2.2.3R).

An AIM company is not a listed company because its securities are not admitted to the Official List.
