VANCOUVER, April 12 /CNW/ -

    
    TSX VENTURE COMPANIES

    BULLETIN TYPE: Notice to Issuers
    BULLETIN DATE: April 12, 2010

    Re: Changes to Minimum Listing, Tier Maintenance Requirements, CPC Policy
        2.4 and Other Policy Amendments - Effective June 14, 2010

    TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") is pleased to announce changes to
its minimum listing and continued listing requirements, and the CPC policy
along with various other minor policy amendments.
    The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of those changes
and amendments. The substantive changes will be reflected in amended policies.
Blackline versions of the amended policies are now available for viewing on
the Exchange's website. However, the changes and amendments will only become
effective June 14, 2010. Issuers who have filed applications prior to June 14,
2010 will be subject to the policy requirements of the Exchange currently in
effect. Issuers who submit an application on or after June 14, 2010 will be
subject to the requirements of the amendments or changes highlighted in this
bulletin.
    This bulletin will briefly describe, in the case of the new minimum
listing and maintenance requirements, the most significant changes to existing
requirements. It will also describe the amendments to Policy 2.4 and briefly
list some of the minor changes made to other policies. However, this bulletin
is not meant to be a substitute for Exchange policy. For that reason, market
participants are reminded that they will need to rely on the actual policies
(the blackline versions of which are now posted) with respect to the
substantive requirements of the amendments referred to in this bulletin.

    1.  New Minimum (Initial) and Maintenance (Continued) Listing
        Requirements:

    The amendments announced in this bulletin include new minimum listing
requirements and tier maintenance requirements. After June 14, 2010, new
minimum listing requirements will be referred to as "Initial Listing
Requirements" or "ILR", and new tier maintenance requirements will be referred
to as "Continued Listing Requirements" or "CLR".
    The Exchange believes that the implementation of ILR and CLR will result
in the simplification of listing requirements for both issuers seeking a
listing on the Exchange and for Exchange listed issuers wishing to maintain
their listings. ILR and CLR are also more relevant measures of our existing
market composition and environment. Each was determined in consultation with
the Exchange's advisory committees. ILR in particular are better suited to
non-resource issuers than the existing predecessor minimum listing
requirements. Further, ILR add consistency for all industry segments for
certain metrics such as working capital.
    The following is a brief summary of ILR and CLR which will apply to Tier 1
and Tier 2 issuers.

    (a) Initial Listing Requirements - Tier 2

    General

    The working capital metrics for Tier 2 issuers have been made consistent
for all Tier 2 industry segments.
    For working capital, a Tier 2 issuer will need to have adequate working
capital or financial resources (i) to carry out a work program or execute its
business plan, as applicable, for the 12 month period following listing as
well as (ii) $100,000 in unallocated funds.
    Public distribution requirements will be as follows: (i) public float of
500,000 shares, (ii) 200 public shareholders each holding a board lot and
having no resale restrictions on their shares and (iii) 20 % of all issued and
outstanding shares in the hands of public shareholders.

    Non-Resource Issuers

    For non-resource issuers, there will be five industry segments:
industrial, technology, life sciences, real estate and investment. In
addition, non-resource issuers in the industrial, technology or life sciences
industry segments will have the ability to select from one of (i) a net
tangible asset test ($ 750,000), (ii) a revenue test ($500,000) or (iii) an
arm's length financing test ($2 million) in order to meet what were formerly
net tangible asset tests and revenue tests. The real estate and investment
industry issuers will be able to choose from a $2,000,000 net tangible asset
or $3,000,000 arm's length financing test in order to meet ILR.
    For the industrial/technology/life science industry segments, an issuer
will need to have a significant interest in the business, property or asset.
Real estate issuers will need to have a significant interest in real property.
    With respect to business history, an industrial/technology/life sciences
issuer will need either to demonstrate a history of operations or provide
evidence of business validity. Investment issuers will need to have an
investment policy disclosed to their investors and at least 50 % of their
available funds allocated to no less than two specific investments.

    Resource Issuers

    Initial listing requirements for Tier 2 resource issuers will remain
largely unchanged though certain changes have been made. The oil & gas
industry segments will have two sub segments under which an issuer can be
categorized: exploration or reserves.
    An oil & gas issuer's ability to meet property metrics will depend upon
whether it falls within the exploration or reserves sub segment. The latter
requiring either $500,000 in proved developed producing reserves or $750,000
in proved plus probable reserves.
    In order to meet prior expenditures and work program requirements, mining
issuers will need (i) to demonstrate expenditures of no less than $100,000 on
a qualifying property within the 36 month period preceding listing and (ii) an
initial phase work program, recommended in a geological report, of no less
than $200,000. Oil & gas issuers will need to have a $1.5 million work program
recommended in a geological report if they fall within the exploration sub
segment or, for the reserves sub segment, where proved developed reserves have
a value of less than $500,000, a work program of no less than $300,000
recommended in a geological report. Oil & gas issuers in the exploration sub
segment will also have the ability to meet property and prior expenditures and
work program metrics through a joint venture interest provided an amount of $5
million is being raised through a prospectus offering.

    (b) Initial Listing Requirements - Tier 1

    General

    New listing requirements for Tier 1 issuers have been generally structured
to provide a bridge between the Tier 2 issuer listing requirements of the
Exchange and those of the TSX. All Tier 2 industry segments have been carried
over to Tier 1 with the exception of the oil & gas sub segments. Tier 1 oil &
gas issuers will either fall into the exploration sub segment or the producing
sub segment (as opposed to the exploration or reserves sub segment).
    For the working capital metric, a Tier 1 issuer will be required to have
(i) adequate working capital or financial resources to carry out a work
program or execute its business plan, as applicable, for the 18 month period
(versus the 12 month period for Tier 2 issuers) following listing as well as
(ii) $200,000 in unallocated funds.
    Public distribution requirements will be as follows: (i) public float of 1
million shares, (ii) 250 public shareholders (versus 200 for Tier 2 issuers)
each holding a board lot and having no resale restrictions on their shares and
(iii) 20 % of all issued and outstanding shares in the hands of public
shareholders.

    Non-Resource Issuers

    Non-resource issuers in the industrial, technology or life sciences
industry segments will have the ability to select from one of (i) a net
tangible asset test ($5 million) or (ii) a revenue test ($5 million) to meet
what were formerly net tangible asset tests and earnings tests. Tier 1 real
estate and investment industry issuers will need to meet net tangible asset
metrics of $5 million and $10 million, respectively.
    As with Tier 2, a Tier 1 industrial/technology/life science industry
issuer will need to have a significant interest in the business property or
asset. A Tier 1 real estate issuer will need to have a significant interest in
real property.
    With respect to business history, Tier 1 industrial/technology/life
sciences issuers must either demonstrate a history of operations or provide
evidence of business validity. A Tier 1 investment issuer will need only to
have an investment policy disclosed to its investors.

    Resource Issuers

    For the property and reserves metric, an oil & gas issuer's ability to
satisfy Tier 1 requirements will depend on whether it falls within the
exploration or producing sub segment. If the former, $3 million in reserves
(of which $1 million must consist of proved developed reserves) will need to
be demonstrated. If the latter, $2 million in proved developed reserves must
be demonstrated. Mining issuer property requirements remain substantively
unchanged.
    The prior expenditures and work program requirements for Tier 1 mining
issuers remain substantially unchanged. Oil & gas issuers in the exploration
sub segment will need to have a $500,000 work program which work program,
based on a geological report, must be expected to increase reserves. Tier 1
Oil & gas issuers in the producing category will not need to meet any prior
expenditure or work program requirements.

    (c) Continued Listing Requirements - Tier 2

    Generally, Tier 2 CLR have been simplified and except for activity tests,
are consistent for all industry segments.
    A Tier 2 issuer, regardless of industry segment, will be able to satisfy
the public distribution and market capitalization tests (which have been
rolled into one category) if i) no less than 500,000 listed shares are in the
public float, ii) 10 % of listed shares are in the public float, iii) the
listed shares within the public float have a minimum market capitalization of
$100,000 and iv) at least 150 public shareholders hold at least one board lot
each, free of any resale restrictions.
    With respect to working capital, a Tier 2 issuer will be able to satisfy
the metric with the greater of (i) $50,000 and (ii) the amount required to
maintain operations and cover general and administrative expenses for a period
of 6 months.
    The assets and operations metric for Tier 2 issuers will be generally more
flexible. However, the Exchange will ultimately retain discretion to determine
eligibility in situations where the Tier 2 issuer or its principal operating
subsidiary reduces or impairs its principal operating asset, ceases or
discontinues a substantial portion of its operations or business for any
reason, or seeks protection from or is placed under the protection of any
bankruptcy or insolvency law or is placed into receivership.
    With respect to activity tests, a Tier 2 issuer's ability to satisfy these
tests will depend on whether it is a resource or non-resource issuer. Tier 2
resource issuers (mining or oil & gas issuers) will be able to satisfy their
activity tests based on either (i) their most recently completed financial
year (positive cash flow, significant operating revenue or $50,000 of
exploration or development expenditures) or (ii) the two most recently
completed financial years ($100,000 of exploration or development
expenditures). Tier 2 non-resource issuers (industrial, technology, life
sciences, real estate or investment industry segments) will be able to satisfy
their activity tests based on either (i) their most recently completed
financial year (positive cash flow, $150,000 of operating revenues or $150,000
of expenditures relating to the development of its assets or business) or (ii)
their two most recently completed financial years ($300,000 of operating
revenues or $300,000 of expenditures relating to the development of its assets
or business).

    (d) Continued Listing Requirements - Tier 1

    Tier 1 issuer CLR has been dramatically simplified. A Tier 1 issuer from
any industry segment will be able to meet CLR if it will continue to meet the
Tier 1 ILR applicable to its industry segment.

    2.  Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies

    (a) Maximum Aggregate Gross Proceeds to the Treasury of a CPC

    The maximum aggregate gross proceeds to the treasury of a CPC from the
issuance of IPO shares and all seed shares and shares issued pursuant to a
private placement is increased from $2 million to $5 million.

    (b) Minimum Total Amount of Seed Capital Raised by the CPC

    The minimum total amount of seed capital raised by the CPC through the
issuance of seed shares must be equal to or greater than the greater of (i)
$100,000 and (ii) 5% of the aggregate of all proceeds received by the CPC on
the date of its final prospectus resulting from the issuance of treasury
securities, including proceeds from the issuance of seed shares, from any
private placement securities and from IPO shares.
    The minimum seed capital contribution must be contributed by directors and
officers of the CPC.
    The additional seed shares investment requirement will only impact CPCs
that are raising more than $2 million.

    (c) Validity Period of Form 2A Personal Information Form ("PIF")

    Until now, a director or officer of a CPC had the possibility to file a
duly completed Form 2C1 Declaration, in substitution for a Personal
Information Form, as long as the director or officer had previously submitted
a PIF within the last 18 months. The period is now being extended from 18 to
36 months.

    3.  Other Policy Changes:

    The Exchange has made several minor changes to its policies to clarify and
reduce ambiguities, address various changes to securities laws which have
impacted its policies, conform to Exchange practice and to achieve greater
consistency across all policies.

    These changes include:

    -   the addition, deletion or amendment of defined terms for further
        clarity and consistency (Policy 1.1);

    -   additional guidance and clarity with respect to the acceptability of
        issuer capital structures (Policy 2.1);

    -   additional guidance for issuers incorporated or formed in non-
        Canadian jurisdiction (Policy 2.3);

    -   streamlined requirements and procedures for share certificates which
        meet STAC requirements (Policy 3.1 for example);

    -   streamlined Exchange filing procedures for issuers who have already
        filed similar materials on SEDAR (Policy 3.2 for example);

    -   removal from Exchange policy of stock exchange takeover bid policies
        and appendices (Policy 5.5);

    -   language clarifying Exchange stock option policies generally and the
        applicability of Exchange hold periods to stock options (Policies 4.4
        and 1.1);

    -   amendments which clarify the Seed Share Resale Matrix (Policy 5.4);
        and

    TYPE DE BULLETIN : Avis aux émetteurs
    DATE DU BULLETIN : Le 12 avril 2010

    Objet : Modification des exigences minimales d'inscription, des exigences
            relatives au maintien de l'inscription dans le groupe, de la
            Politique 2.4 Sociétés de capital de démarrage ("SCD") et autres
            modifications aux politiques - en vigueur à compter du 14 juin
            2010

    La Bourse de croissance TSX (la "Bourse") annonce qu'elle a modifié ses
exigences minimales d'inscription, ses exigences de maintien de l'inscription
dans le groupe, la Politique 2.4 et qu'elle a apporté d'autres modifications
mineures à ses politiques.
    Le présent bulletin donne un aperçu de ces modifications. Les
modifications substantielles seront intégrées dans les politiques modifiées.
La version soulignée des modifications qui ont été apportées aux politiques
peut déjà être consultée sur le site Web de la Bourse, mais les modifications
ne prendront effet que le 14 juin 2010. Les émetteurs qui auront présenté une
demande d'inscription avant cette date seront assujettis aux exigences de la
Bourse actuellement en vigueur. Les émetteurs qui présenteront une demande
d'inscription le 14 juin 2010 ou après cette date seront assujettis aux
exigences modifiées dont il est fait état dans le présent bulletin.
    Le présent bulletin présente brièvement les principales modifications qui
ont été apportées aux exigences minimales d'inscription aux exigences
relatives au maintien de l'inscription dans le groupe. Il présente également
les modifications apportées à la Politique 2.4 et quelques-uns des changements
mineurs qui ont été apportés à d'autres politiques. Le présent bulletin ne se
veut toutefois pas un substitut des politiques de la Bourse. Pour cette
raison, on rappellera aux participants du marché qu'ils doivent se fonder sur
les politiques mêmes (dont la version modifiée soulignée est disponible sur
notre site Web) pour connaître les obligations substantielles découlant des
modifications dont il est fait état dans le présent bulletin.

    1.  Nouvelles exigences minimales d'inscription (inscription initiale) et
        de maintien de l'inscription :

    Les modifications annoncées dans le présent bulletin portent sur les
exigences minimales d'inscription et sur les exigences relatives au maintien
de l'inscription dans le groupe. Après le 14 juin 2010, les nouvelles
exigences minimales d'inscription seront désignées "exigences relatives à
l'inscription initiale" ("EII") et les exigences relatives au maintien de
l'inscription dans le groupe seront désignées "exigences relatives au maintien
de l'inscription" ("EMI").
    La Bourse est d'avis que l'établissement des EII et des EMI permettra de
simplifier les exigences en matière d'inscription tant pour les émetteurs qui
souhaitent s'inscrire à la Bourse que pour les émetteurs déjà inscrits à la
Bourse désireux de maintenir leur inscription. Les EII et les EMI sont aussi
un meilleur reflet de la composition et de la réalité du marché boursier. Ces
exigences ont été établies après consultation des comités consultatifs de la
Bourse. Entre autres, les EII sont mieux adaptées aux émetteurs des secteurs
autres que celui des ressources que les exigences minimales d'inscription
actuelles. De plus, les EII assurent une plus grande cohérence des critères
comme le fonds de roulement pour l'ensemble des secteurs d'activité.
    Le texte qui suit est un résumé des EII et des EMI que doivent remplir les
émetteurs du groupe 1 et les émetteurs du groupe 2.

    a) Exigences relatives à l'inscription initiale - Groupe 2

    Généralités

    Les critères en matière de fonds de roulement que doivent remplir les
émetteurs du groupe 2 ont été uniformisés dans tous les secteurs d'activité du
groupe 2.
    Au chapitre du fonds de roulement, l'émetteur du groupe 2 devra disposer
d'un fonds de roulement ou de ressources financières suffisants (i) pour
mettre en œuvre un programme de travail ou pour exécuter son plan d'affaires,
selon le cas, pendant les 12 mois suivant son inscription et (ii) des fonds
non affectés de 100 000 $.
    Les exigences relatives à la répartition des titres dans le public seront
les suivantes : (i) l'émetteur a un flottant de 500 000 actions, (ii) 200
actionnaires publics détiennent chacun un lot régulier et leurs actions ne
sont assujetties à aucune restriction relative à la revente et (iii) 20 % de
toutes les actions émises et en circulation sont détenues par des actionnaires
publics.

    Émetteurs des secteurs autres que celui des ressources

    Pour les émetteurs des secteurs autres que celui des ressources il y aura
cinq secteurs d'activité : industrie, technologie, sciences de la vie,
immobilier et placement. De plus, les émetteurs des secteurs de l'industrie,
de la technologie ou des sciences de la vie pourront choisir parmi les
critères suivants celui qu'ils rempliront pour répondre à l'ancien critère de
l'actif corporel net : (i) avoir un actif corporel net de 750 000 $, (ii)
avoir des produits d'exploitation de 500 000 $ ou (iii) avoir obtenu un
financement sans lien de dépendance de 2 millions de dollars. Les émetteurs
des secteurs de l'immobilier ou du placement pourront choisir entre remplir le
critère de l'actif corporel net de 2 millions de dollars ou celui du
financement sans lien de dépendance de 3 millions de dollars afin de
satisfaire aux exigences relatives à l'inscription initiale.
    Les émetteurs des secteurs de l'industrie, de la technologie ou des
sciences de la vie devront détenir un intérêt appréciable dans le bien ou
l'actif de l'entreprise. Les émetteurs du secteur de l'immobilier devront
détenir un intérêt appréciable dans un bien immobilier.
    Au chapitre des activités antérieures, les émetteurs des secteurs de
l'industrie, de la technologie ou des sciences de la vie devront présenter
leurs antécédents d'exploitation ou fournir une preuve de la validation de
leur entreprise. Les émetteurs du secteur du placement devront avoir une
politique en matière de placement connue des investisseurs et affecter au
moins 50 % de leurs fonds disponibles à au moins deux placements déterminés.

    Émetteurs du secteur des ressources

    Les exigences relatives à l'inscription initiale pour les émetteurs du
groupe 2 demeurent essentiellement inchangées. Les quelques modifications
apportées concernent notamment le secteur du pétrole et du gaz, qui sera
divisé en deux sous-secteurs : exploration et réserves.
    La capacité d'un émetteur du secteur du pétrole et du gaz de remplir les
critères relatifs aux propriétés dépendra du sous-secteur auquel il
appartient. Le sous-secteur des réserves exige des réserves prouvées mises en
valeur et exploitées de 500 000 $ ou des réserves prouvées et probables de 750
000 $.
    Pour satisfaire aux exigences relatives aux dépenses antérieures et au
programme de travail, les émetteurs du secteur des mines devront (i) démontrer
qu'ils ont engagé des dépenses d'au moins 100 000 $ dans une propriété
permettant l'inscription au cours des 36 mois qui ont précédé l'inscription et
(ii) avoir un programme de travail dont la phase initiale a nécessité des
dépenses d'au moins 200 000 $, ainsi qu'il est recommandé dans un rapport
d'étude géologique. Les émetteurs du secteur du pétrole et du gaz faisant
partie du sous-secteur de l'exploration devront avoir affecté au moins 1,5
million de dollars à un programme de travail, ainsi qu'il est recommandé dans
un rapport d'étude géologique ou, s'ils font partie du sous-secteur des
réserves, avoir affecté au moins 300 000 $ à un programme de travail, ainsi
qu'il est recommandé dans un rapport d'étude géologique, si la valeur des
réserves prouvées mises en valeur est inférieure à 500 000 $. Les émetteurs du
secteur du pétrole et du gaz qui font partie du sous-secteur de l'exploration
pourront également répondre aux critères des dépenses engagées dans la
propriété, des dépenses antérieures et du programme de travail en détenant une
participation dans une coentreprise et en ayant réuni la somme de 5 millions
de dollars dans le cadre d'un placement par prospectus.

    b) Exigences relatives à l'inscription initiale - Groupe 1

    Généralités

    Les nouvelles exigences relatives à l'inscription pour les émetteurs du
groupe 1 ont été conçues de manière à établir une transition entre les
exigences relatives à l'inscription pour les émetteurs du groupe 2 de la
Bourse et celles de la TSX. Tous les secteurs d'activité du groupe 2 ont été
reproduits dans le groupe 1, à l'exception des sous-secteurs du secteur du
pétrole et du gaz. Les émetteurs du secteur du pétrole et du gaz du groupe 1
feront partie soit du sous-secteur de l'exploration, soit du sous-secteur de
la production (à la différence des sous-secteurs de l'exploration et des
réserves pour les émetteurs du groupe 2).
    Au chapitre du fonds de roulement, un émetteur du groupe 1 sera tenu (i)
d'avoir un fonds de roulement ou des ressources financières suffisants pour
mettre en œuvre un programme de travail ou exécuter son plan d'affaires,
selon le cas, pendant les 18 mois suivant l'inscription (comparativement à 12
mois pour les émetteurs du groupe 2) et (ii) des fonds non affectés de 200 000
$.
    Les exigences relatives à la répartition des titres dans le public seront
les suivantes : (i) l'émetteur a un flottant de 1 million d'actions, (ii) 250
actionnaires publics (contre 200 pour les émetteurs du groupe 2) détiennent
chacun un lot régulier et leurs actions ne sont assujetties à aucune
restriction relative à la revente et (iii) 20 % de toutes les actions émises
et en circulation sont détenues par des actionnaires publics.

    Émetteurs des secteurs autres que celui des ressources

    Les émetteurs des secteurs autres que celui des ressources faisant partie
des secteurs de l'industrie, de la technologie ou des sciences de la vie
pourront choisir parmi les critères suivants celui qu'ils rempliront pour
répondre à l'ancien critère de l'actif corporel net ou à celui des produits
d'exploitation: (i) avoir un actif corporel net de 5 millions de dollars ou
(ii) avoir des produits d'exploitation de 5 millions de dollars. Pour les
émetteurs du groupe 1 des secteurs de l'immobilier ou du placement, l'actif
corporel net doit être respectivement de 5 millions de dollars et de 10
millions de dollars.
    Comme pour les émetteurs du groupe 2, les émetteurs des secteurs de
l'industrie, de la technologie ou des sciences de la vie devront détenir un
intérêt appréciable dans le bien ou l'actif de l'entreprise. Les émetteurs du
groupe 1 du secteur de l'immobilier devront détenir un intérêt appréciable
dans un bien immobilier.
    Au chapitre des activités antérieures, les émetteurs du groupe 1 des
secteurs de l'industrie, de la technologie ou des sciences de la vie devront
présenter leurs antécédents d'exploitation ou fournir une preuve de la
validation de leur entreprise. Dans le cas des émetteurs du groupe 1 du
secteur du placement, il suffit d'avoir une politique en matière de placement
connue des investisseurs.

    Émetteurs du secteur des ressources

    Au chapitre des propriétés et des réserves, la capacité d'un émetteur du
secteur du pétrole et du gaz à satisfaire aux exigences du groupe 1 dépendra
du sous-secteur auquel il appartient. S'il fait partie du sous-secteur de
l'exploration, l'émetteur doit démontrer qu'il dispose de réserves de 3
millions de dollars (dont des réserves prouvées et mises en valeur d'au moins
1 million de dollars). S'il fait partie du sous-secteur de la production,
l'émetteur doit démontrer qu'il dispose de réserves prouvées et mises en
valeur de 2 millions de dollars. Les exigences au chapitre des propriétés pour
les émetteurs du secteur des mines demeurent essentiellement inchangées.
    Les exigences au chapitre des dépenses antérieures et du programme de
travail pour les émetteurs du groupe 1 du secteur des mines demeurent
essentiellement inchangées. Les émetteurs du secteur du pétrole et du gaz qui
font partie du sous-secteur de l'exploration devront avoir un programme de
travail d'au moins 500 000 $, ainsi qu'il est recommandé dans un rapport
d'étude géologique, qui devrait accroître les réserves. Les émetteurs du
groupe 1 du secteur du pétrole et du gaz qui font partie du sous-secteur de la
production n'ont aucune exigence à remplir au chapitre des dépenses
antérieures et du programme de travail.

    c) Exigences relatives au maintien de l'inscription - Groupe 2

    En règle générale, les exigences relatives au maintien de l'inscription
pour les émetteurs du groupe 2 ont été simplifiées et sont les mêmes pour tous
les secteurs d'activité, sauf à l'égard des activités.
    Quel que soit son secteur d'activité, un émetteur du groupe 2 sera en
mesure de répondre aux critères de répartition des titres dans le public et de
capitalisation boursière (qui ont été réunis en un seul critère) si i) il
compte au moins 500 000 actions inscrites faisant partie du flottant, ii) le
flottant représente au moins 10 % des actions inscrites, iii) les actions
faisant partie du flottant représentent une capitalisation boursière d'au
moins 100 000 $ et iv) au moins 150 actionnaires publics détenant au moins un
lot régulier, sans restriction relative à la revente;.
    Un émetteur du groupe 2 devra avoir un fonds de roulement suffisant, soit
(i) au moins 50 000 $ ou, si celle-ci est plus élevée (ii) la somme requise
pour poursuivre l'exploitation et couvrir les frais généraux et administratifs
pendant 6 mois.
    Les critères à remplir au chapitre de l'actif et de l'exploitation seront
généralement plus flexibles pour les émetteurs du groupe 2. Toutefois, la
Bourse se réserve le droit d'établir si l'émetteur du groupe 2 respecte
toujours les exigences relatives au maintien de l'inscription dans les cas où
celui-ci ou sa principale filiale en exploitation réduit ses principaux actifs
d'exploitation, interrompt ou abandonne une partie importante de ses activités
ou de son entreprise pour quelque raison que ce soit, demande la protection de
toute loi en matière de faillite ou d'insolvabilité ou est placé sous la
protection d'une telle loi ou est mis sous séquestre.
    Les critères que doit respecter l'émetteur du groupe 2 au chapitre des
activités dépendent du secteur auquel il appartient. Les émetteurs du groupe 2
du secteur des ressources (mines et pétrole et du gaz) rempliront les critères
relatifs aux activités (i) s'ils ont inscrit des flux de trésorerie positifs,
des produits d'exploitation significatifs ou des dépenses d'exploration ou de
mise en valeur de 50 000 $ au cours de leur plus récent exercice terminé ou
(ii) s'ils ont inscrit des dépenses d'exploration ou de mise en valeur de 100
000 $ au cours de leurs deux derniers exercices terminés. Les émetteurs du
groupe 2 des secteurs autres que celui des ressources (industrie, technologie,
sciences de la vie, immobilier ou placement) rempliront les critères relatifs
aux activités (i) s'ils ont inscrit des flux de trésorerie positifs, des
produits d'exploitation de 150 000 $ ou des dépenses de 150 000 $ liées au
développement de leurs actifs ou de leur entreprise au cours de leur plus
récent exercice terminé ou (ii) s'ils ont inscrit des produits d'exploitation
de 300 000 $ ou des dépenses de 300 000 $ liées au développement de leurs
actifs ou de leur entreprise au cours de leurs deux derniers exercices
terminés.

    d) Exigences relatives au maintien de l'inscription - Groupe 1

    Les exigences relatives au maintien de l'inscription pour les émetteurs du
groupe 1 ont été considérablement simplifiées. Un émetteur du groupe 1 faisant
partie de n'importe quel secteur d'activité pourra satisfaire aux exigences
relatives au maintien de l'inscription s'il continue à remplir les exigences
relatives à l'inscription initiale pour les émetteurs du groupe 1 qui
s'appliquent à son secteur d'activité.

    2.  Politique 2.4 Sociétés de capital de démarrage

    (a) Produit brut maximal total levé par une société de capital de
        démarrage ("SCD")

    Le produit brut total maximal revenant au capital de la SCD tiré de
l'émission des actions visées par le premier appel public à l'épargne et de la
totalité des actions de lancement et toutes actions émises par voie de
placement privé, est augmenté de 2 000 000$ à 5 000 000 $.

    (b) Montant minimal des capitaux de lancement

    Le montant total des capitaux de lancement que la SCD doit mobiliser au
moyen de l'émission des actions de lancement doit être au moins égal à la plus
élevée des valeurs suivantes : (i) 100 000 $ ou (ii) 5% du total du produit
obtenu par la SCD à la date de son prospectus définitif par suite de
l'émission de titres sur son capital autorisé, ce qui comprend, notamment, le
produit de l'émission d'actions de lancement, de tout placement privé et le
produit du premier appel public à l'épargne.

    a)  La souscription minimale d'actions de lancement requise selon i) ou
        ii) ci-dessus doit être réalisée par les administrateurs et
        dirigeants de la SCD.

    L'exigence relative à la souscription d'actions de lancement additionnelle
ne touche que les SCD qui prévoient levés des montants supérieurs à 2 000 000
$.

    (c) Période de validité du Formulaire de renseignements personnels
        ("Formulaire" 2A)

    Jusqu'à maintenant, un administrateur ou dirigeant d'une SCD avait la
possibilité de déposer une Déclaration ("Formulaire 2C1") en substitution du
dépôt d'un Formulaire 2A, dans la mesure où l'administrateur ou le dirigeant
avait soumis dans les 18 mois précédents un Formulaire 2A. Cette période est
maintenant prolongée de 18 à 36 mois.

    3.  Autres modifications aux politiques :

    La Bourse a apporté plusieurs modifications peu importantes à ses
politiques afin de clarifier les ambiguïtés, de tenir compte des changements
apportés aux lois sur les valeurs mobilières qui ont une incidence sur ses
politiques, de se conformer à ses pratiques et d'assurer une meilleure
cohérence dans l'ensemble de ses politiques.

    Ces modifications concernent ce qui suit :

    -   l'ajout, la suppression ou la modification de termes définis pour une
        plus grande clarté et une meilleure cohérence du texte (Politique
        1.1);

    -   l'ajout d'indications et de précisions relativement à l'acceptabilité
        des structures du capital des émetteurs (Politique 2.1);

    -   l'ajout d'indications pour les émetteurs constitués sous le régime
        des lois d'un territoire étranger (Politique 2.3);

    -   la simplification des exigences et des procédures pour les
        certificats d'actions répondant aux critères de la Securities
        Transfer Association of Canada (Politique 3.1 par exemple);

    -   la simplification des procédures de dépôt auprès de la Bourse pour
        les émetteurs ayant déposé des documents similaires sur SEDAR
        (Politique 3.2 par exemple);

    -   le retrait des politiques et des annexes relatives aux offres
        publiques d'achat en bourse des politiques de la Bourse (Politique
        5.5);

    -   la clarification des politiques de la Bourse concernant les options
        d'achat d'actions en général, notamment l'applicabilité aux options
        d'achat d'actions des périodes de conservation imposées par la Bourse
        (Politiques 4.4 et 1.1);

    -   la clarification des restrictions relatives à la revente des actions
        de lancement (Politique 5.4);

    -   la clarification de divers formulaires, notamment le formulaire 4B -
        Avis de placement privé et le formulaire 4C - Formulaire
        d'inscription des souscripteurs qui sont des personnes morales.
