Temporary relief for Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange issuers extended

    TORONTO, March 26 /CNW/ - To assist listed issuers during these difficult
market conditions, Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange are
extending certain measures granting temporary relief from some of their policy
requirements. The temporary relief, which was put in place in November 2008,
will remain in effect until September 30, 2009.
    Toronto Stock Exchange has extended the remedial review period for
delistings from a maximum of up to 120 days to up to 210 days. TSX Venture
Exchange's temporary relief measures include: adding flexibility in how
existing continued listing requirements are applied to listed issuers;
extending the time within which Capital Pool Companies(R) can complete their
qualifying transactions, and allowing the minimum issuance price per security
in certain transactions to be less than $0.05 (but not less than the market
price).
