The Exchange Feed Podcast
Season 7, Episode 1

This episode of The Exchange Feed focuses on the importance of newswires and their role in ensuring your press releases meet the Exchange's and market expectations. Subject matter experts Valérie Douville, Director, Compliance, TMX Group, and Wasim Thaha, Managing Director of Operations, TMX Newsfile, provide these key takeaways and other insights for companies to consider.

Key Takeaways

    1. Meeting Newswire standards and Exchange Expectations: While exchanges don't audit newswires, companies are expected to use reliable newswire services. Failure to do so is a breach of our Exchange policies.
       
    2. Common Mistakes and Best Practices: Common mistakes include using free services with limited reach, using a service that edits or alters company releases, or companies posting news directly to online databases without proper dissemination.
       
    3. Social Media vs. Newswires: While social media plays a role in communication, newswires remain crucial for formal disclosure due to their established trust, security, and regulatory compliance.

TSX Amendments to Original Listing Requirements

TSX continuously seeks opportunities to improve the quality and integrity of the marketplace. With that aim in mind, TSX has introduced new original listing requirements (“OLRs”) for corporate issuers seeking to list on TSX. These OLRs seek to ensure that our rules: (i) continue to reflect the current needs and expectations of Canadian and global capital market participants; (ii) provide clear and pragmatic listing requirements; and (iii) reduce the need for discretionary waivers and exemptions, thereby reducing issuer burden, while maintaining sound requirements to protect marketplace quality.
