BBX Conferences
BBX is pleased to announce a series of educational conferences to be held in Boston (June 5-6, 2003), San Francisco (July 24-25, 2003) and Chicago in September 2003 (specific date TBD) designed to assist companies planning to apply and list on the BBX. The day and a half conference at each location will offer expert advise on topical issues such as:
new audit committee requirements pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley,
how to draft an effective Audit Committee charter,
a primer on the mechanics of short selling and how the BBX will govern the practice of short selling,
new requirements for public dissemination of material news, and much more.
The conferences will also include a vendor fair to give companies an opportunity to meet with firms that provide services to OTCBB and BBX companies.

Issuer Conference Call
Over 500 people participated in last month's issuer conference call, which provided an update on BBX's implementation schedule, an overview of issuer services, and a question and answer forum. The next BBX conference call will be held on Monday, May 5, 2003 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time and will focus on the BBX listing qualifications. A member of NASDAQ's Listing Qualifications Department will also be available to answer specific questions on any of the BBX listing standards or the application process.

BBX Applications
As mentioned in the previous update, BBX Listing Applications will be available in June 2003. The BBX will then plan to begin accepting applications immediately, subject to SEC approval. Application kits will be sent to all OTCBB companies, as well as all individuals who have requested to be on the BBX mailing list. In addition, the application kit will be available on the BBX Web site. All forms will be available in PDF format so they can be printed, filled out, and forwarded to BBX. An email will be sent in June with a link to these forms.
