On February 3, 2012, the TSX announced the adoption of amendments to Parts I, IV and VI as well as Appendix H of the TSX Company Manual (the “Amendments”). As discussed in a previous post, the Amendments introduce a Due Bill initiative which will help “improve the accuracy and timeliness of the valuation reporting of clients’ holdings when securities undergo certain material corporate events”.
The TSX did not receive any comments in response to its Request for Comments issued on December 22, 2011 and has not made any changes since that publication. The Ontario Securities Commission has approved the Amendments.
Although the Amendments became effective on February 3, 2012, Due Bills will not be used by the TSX until the Due Bill process is implemented by CDS. A public notice will be issued at that time.
