About Chi-X Canada(TM)

Operated by Chi-X Canada ATS Limited, member IDA/CIPF, Chi-X Canada is a high-performance, fully anonymous and low-cost continuous alternative trading system (ATS) for TSX-listed senior equities. Supporting a wide array of advanced order types and based on strict price-time priority, Chi-X Canada aims to provide trading efficiency and cost savings to investors and ultimately to help increase market volumes as systems of this nature have done in other markets around the world.

Based on the same technology that is currently powering Chi-X([R])Europe and developed by ATS pioneer Instinet, Chi-X Canada has an internal latency of less than one millisecond, or 1/1,000th of a second(+).

Subscription is available to any IDA-regulated investment dealer with membership in good standing in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario or Quebec. The system is accessible to members for order entry through the FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol, and market data is available as a direct feed in the CHIXMD protocol, which is similar to the ITCH protocol currently in use by other markets. Chi-X Canada will disseminate its market data at no cost. Additional pricing information will be made available before its launch. For more information, please visit the Chi-X Canada website at www.chi-xcanada.com.

(+) Internal latency, which is the system's ability to process messages in its core rather than the round trip measurement, was measured by Instinet to be 890 microseconds, or less than one millisecond. Market volatility and volume may affect actual performance.
