TSX Guide to Original Listings Requirements

TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE 22 Part V – Other Requirements (i) Listing Representations If an applicant would like to include a statement in its preliminary prospectus, draft prospectus or other offering document that an application has been made to list its securities on TSX, a draft of such document must be provided to TSX for review prior to being filed. Please refer to Staff Notice 2018-0001 for more details. (ii) Reserving a Stock Symbol As per Staff Notice 2018-0005, applicants may request, in writing and directed to the applicable listings manager, a specific stock symbol when applying to list. Upon confirmation from TSX of the allocated symbol, the symbol will remain reserved for an initial period of 90 days, and upon request in writing by the applicant, such period may be extended for up to two additional 90-day periods, for an aggregate maximum period of 270 days. At the end of the 270-day period, the reserved symbol will automatically be released and may not be reserved by or for the same applicant for a period of 10 days, after which the applicant may apply again to request the same symbol, subject to availability. The applicant is responsible for requesting an extension in writing before the end of any reservation period. If a reservation is not extended by the applicant by the end of any reservation period, the symbol will be released. (iii) Obtaining a CUSIP Number and Depository Eligibility at CDS A CUSIP number (Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures) is a standard system of securities identification and securities description that is used in electronically processing and recording securities transactions in North America. A CUSIP number uniquely identifies a Canadian or American security and its issuer. A CUSIP number is required for all securities listed on TSX. As a service bureau to the Canadian financial industry, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) coordinates the assignment of ISIN and CUSIP numbers with CUSIP Global Services. CUSIP numbers may be requested here, using the ISIN Issuance webbased service provided by CDS. As a condition of listing, applicants will be required to provide TSX with a CUSIP number confirmation for each of their listed securities, which can be obtained here by requesting an Unqualified Letter of Confirmation from CDS. Applicants must confirm that their listed securities are eligible for clearing and settlement with CDS.
