yep, just another brick in the wall to be climbed. This crew (some have already been slapped down by the authorities) are hassles deluxe. However, it's a pleasure when the stock action wears them down.... and they slip into oblivion. In the meantime.... it provides amusement. It's bad that MST has to be at the point, but..... after watching him weather the storms over the last 3 years, he's up to it. Just a terrible market for ATG to get going in, but it's getting better daily. Market volumes will indicate it's return to health, and it will also show in evwap performance.

TSE TO COMPLETE ACQUISITION OF CDNX - Securities commissions grant regulatory approval JULY 31, 2001 (TORONTO) - The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) received approvals today from the Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario securities commissions which will allow it to complete its acquisition of the Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX). Closing of the transaction is expected to occur tomorrow, August 1, 2001. "This is a great day for Canada's capital markets," said Barbara Stymiest, President and CEO of the TSE. "We're thrilled and excited about moving ahead with new initiatives aimed at developing a stronger Canadian capital market, containing separate junior and senior exchanges which will operate on a complementary and co-ordinated basis, with enhanced international profile." The approvals received today are the last approvals required to permit the deal to close. At the TSE's Annual General Meeting in May, shareholders approved an amendment allowing for CDNX board members to join an expanded TSE Board. At an Annual General Meeting the same day, CDNX shareholders also approved the TSE's $50 million purchase of the junior exchange. Among the many benefits expected from the transaction are cost efficiencies realized through combining the provision of some services and a more streamlined approach to graduated listed companies from CDNX to the senior TSE market. These developments, in turn, will enhance the attractiveness of CDNX and the TSE as exchanges for issuers seeking new listings. TSE The TSE is the leading provider of market services for Canada. The TSE consistently ranks among the world's top exchanges by market capitalization and liquidity. The TSE provides issuers and investors with a well-regulated, fair and accessible marketplace. CDNX The Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX) is Canada's public venture capital marketplace providing emerging companies with access to capital while offering investors a well-regulated market in which to make venture investments. CDNX listed companies are active in mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, technology, financial services and other sectors. The exchange has offices in Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto.
