In c2963 disseminated May 2, 2013 at 13:03e, please note that the paragraph under the heading "Alberta Exempt Market Industry Committee (AEMIC)" has been revised. The National Exempt Market Association (NEMA) would like to retract and extend an apology to our members and the entire industry for an error that was made in their news release for incorrectly indicating that the Alberta Exempt Market Industry Committee (AEMIC) was formed as a partnership with securities regulators. To clarify AEMIC is an independent industry initiative that was formed for the purpose of discussing industry related issues including: securities regulations, governance and best practices of the exempt market industry. The committee is not formed, in any partnership or related to any securities regulator as stated in the original release. The headline of the release has also been revised. Corrected copy follows:
