October 4, 2016 (TORONTO) – TSX Company Services today announced an agreement with Ipreo, a leading global provider of financial services technology, data and analytics. TSX Company Services has teamed up with Ipreo to offer Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) issuers the in-depth analysis and dynamic functionality they need to build and execute their IR strategies, including Ipreo's global investor identification and targeting, IR workflow tools and buy-side perception studies.

"In an increasingly complex and diverse marketplace, an effective investor relations program can enable a listed issuer to communicate their growth strategy, differentiate itself in the eyes of investors and position their company for long-term success," said Loui Anastasopoulos, Managing Director, TSX Company Services, Equity Capital Markets, Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ. "More importantly, in support of the TSXV Revitalization Program, TMX's initiative to invigorate Canada's public venture market, this agreement also includes a service package tailored to the specific needs of TSXV companies. We remain committed to working closely with our issuers of every size and in every stage of development in pursuit of new ways to deepen the value we provide for our clients."

"Ipreo's longstanding presence and commitment to the Canadian marketplace is further strengthened and enhanced by the agreement with TSX Company Services. We are excited to work with the TSX team to engage with its listed companies of all sizes to support and optimize their investor relations efforts," said Chris Taylor, EVP, Thought Leadership & Partnerships, Ipreo.

To celebrate the agreement, Kevin Marcus, President and COO, Ipreo, will join Lou Eccleston, CEO, Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ, this morning at 9:30 a.m. to open the market.
