WHY GO PUBLIC?
CAPITAL SOLUTIONS
For early-stage companies looking to gain access to public venture capital - or larger, established companies looking to take their business to the next level, going public may be the right fit for your company. Our two-tiered market offers financing and liquidity solutions that can be as unique as the businesses it serves.
GO PUBLIC - WAYS TO GET LISTED
There are multiple pathways to listing on TSX and TSXV.
Capital Pool Company庐 Program
The public markets can offer a number of benefits to a company. The most important benefits are access to capital and the ability to use your share capital to complete acquisitions. It can also provide liquidity to investors and help a company to compete for talent.
IPO
An initial public offering (IPO) is the traditional method of obtaining a listing on a stock exchange. First a prospectus is filed with the securities commission, followed by an application for a public listing. The prospectus provides potential investors with detailed information they need to make informed investment decisions.
Direct Listing
A company already listed on another exchange may list directly on TSX or TSXV if they are able to meet our listing standards. In addition, these issuers may be eligible for certain exemptions from our regulatory and reporting requirements if they are listed on an exchange recognized by TSX and with similar listing requirements.
Reverse Take-Over
A reverse take-over is also known as a "back door listing" or "reverse merger" of a company already listed on TSX or TSXV. This listing can be done in a number of ways, including an amalgamation or issuance of shares in exchange for other shares or assets of the issuer.
SPAC
The Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation (SPAC) program offers an alternative vehicle for listing on TSX. This is an investment vehicle allowing the public to invest in companies or industry sectors normally sought by private equity firms. In addition, it can provide an opportunity for individuals unable to buy into hedge or private equity funds the ability to participate in the acquisition of private operating companies traditionally targeted by those funds.
