  TSX Alpha Exchange Liquidity Provision (ALP) Program

  TSX Alpha Exchange offers two separate ALP programs – one applicable to ETFs and the other applicable to non-ETFs. Under either program, a TSX Alpha Exchange Member is eligible to receive reductions in trading fees for liquidity provided under its or its clients' Trader IDs where the combined passive traded volume on TSX Alpha Exchange for the IDs for the month exceeds the specified % of total Canadian continuous traded volume (TCCV) for the month, according to the following schedule:

  (Tiers 1 - 4)	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4
  % TCCV Target for ETFs	0.25%	0.50%	0.75%	1.00%
  % TCCV Target for Non-ETFs	0.25%	0.50%	0.75%	1.00%
  Per share reduction in liquidity providing fees for applicable security class	$0.000025	$0.00005	$0.000075	$0.0001

  (Tiers 5 - 8)	Tier 5	Tier 6	Tier 7	Tier 8
  % TCCV Target for ETFs	1.50%	2.25%	3.00%	3.75%
  % TCCV Target for Non-ETFs	1.50%	2.25%	3.00%	3.75%
  Per share reduction in liquidity providing fees for applicable security class	$0.000125	$0.00015	$0.000175	$0.0002

  Notes:

  • Measurement against TCCV targets and the application of rate reductions will be done at the ‘ALP ID Group' level.
  • Each ALP ID Group must be pre-approved by TSX Alpha Exchange, and may be comprised of one or more Trader IDs. A TSX Alpha Exchange Member may request approval for participation by its own or its client Trader IDs by submitting the required form. The form is available upon request.
  • Approval for an ALP ID Group is subject to conformance of the ALP ID Group with the following general conditions:
    1. A TSX Alpha Exchange Member may request the grouping of Trader IDs, with the exception of Trader IDs associated with a routing arrangement (RA) or a direct electronic access (DEA) arrangement with a non-registrant client.
    2. Trader IDs associated with RAs or DEA arrangements referred to in (a) may be grouped together to comprise a single ALP ID Group for an RA or DEA client where that RA or DEA client determines the posting destination for non-marketable orders sent through the respective Trader IDs, or otherwise where the Trader IDs are associated with the same underlying client.
  • Approval of an ALP ID Group automatically entitles the ALP ID Group to participate in each of the two ALP programs.
  • Applicable reduction rate is applied against all of the passive board lot volume in the applicable security class by the ALP ID Group for the month. For example, an ALP ID Group with passive board lot volume in ETFs that exceeds a stated TCCV target will receive the applicable reduction rate for all of its passive board lot volume in ETFs for the month (except where otherwise noted for unintentional crosses involving ETFs).
  • Only the ALP ID Group's passive traded board lot volume in the applicable security class on TSX Alpha Exchange will be used for calculating its % TCCV.
  • TCCV is calculated by TSX Alpha Exchange and is determined based on combined Canadian continuous passive board lot trading volume in the applicable security class, excluding intentional crosses and opening and closing auctions, during standard continuous trading hours of 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The following also applies:
    1. TCCV for ETFs will be determined based on TSX-listed ETFs.
    2. TCCV for non-ETFs will be determined based on TSX-listed and TSXV-listed securities other than ETFs, notes and debentures.

  TSX Alpha Exchange Odd Lot Dealer Trading Fees on Symbols of Responsibility:

  (Schedule 1 to the Odd Lot Dealer Agreement)

  Odd Lot Fill:

  ($0.0000) per share Rate applies to liquidity provided against auto-execution of odd lots during Post-Open Continuous Trading.

  All other trading by Odd Lot Dealers charged at the regular rates applicable to trading by all TSX Alpha Exchange Members.

  ² Other than as otherwise noted, TSX Alpha Exchange Trading Fees are GST/HST exempt.

  ³ Rates are based on share volume executed, including for executions resulting from matches through Self Trade Management. A firm-wide net credit for Post-Open Continuous trades will first be applied to offset the firm's other trading charges. Any remaining net credit will be paid out to the firm.

  ⁴ Rates applicable to ‘Retail' will apply for any Trader ID identified by the Member as an ID through which orders originating from a ‘Retail Customer' (as defined by IIROC) are sent, but will not apply for any such ID that is for a ‘DEA client' (as defined in National Instrument 23-103) unless the ‘DEA client' is a broker / dealer located in a non-Canadian jurisdiction that is acting as an "agent" for retail client order flow.
