The missing "to" in the phrase "subject to"

Question

I learned that when referring one thing is subject to another thing, a "to" should always be there next to "subject" or before a which/that, etc. However, in the below language, there is no such "to", but the sentence is still correct. Can anyone tell me why? Many thanks!

"It is required to do so by law or by the regulations of any relevant
stock exchange or other regulatory authority the rules and regulations
of which he or it is subject."

It is required to do so by law or by the regulations of any relevant
stock exchange or other regulatory authority [the rules and regulations
of which he or it is subject to].

"To" is required.
In the bracketed relative clause "which" refers to "regulations of any relevant stock exchange or other regulatory authority".
We understand that "he or it is subject to those rules and regulations".
