  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, an Alpha Member is eligible to receive reductions in TSX Alpha Exchange 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 is done at the ‘ALP ID Group' level.
  • Each ALP ID Group must be pre-approved by Alpha and may be comprised of one or more Trader IDs. An Alpha 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. An Alpha 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 nonmarketable 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.
  • The 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 percentage target receives 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 is used for calculating its % TCCV. Volume traded on Alpha-X and Alpha DRK is not included in the calculation.
  • The TCCV is calculated by Alpha 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 is determined based on TSX-listed ETFs.
    2. TCCV for non-ETFs is determined based on TSX-listed and TSXV-listed securities other than ETFs, notes and debentures.

  ² Initial application fees for new members and monthly membership fees are subject to GST/HST.

  ³ Other than as otherwise noted, Alpha Trading Fees are GST/HST exempt.

  ⁴ Rates are based on share volume executed, including for executions resulting from matches through Self Trade Management. A firmwide net credit for Post-Open Continuous trades is first applied to offset the firm's other trading charges. Any remaining net credit is paid out to the firm.

  ⁵ Rates applicable to ‘Retail' apply to 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 do not apply to any such ID that is for a ‘DEA client' (as defined in National Instrument 23103) 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.
