In the event that Alpha Exchange Inc. proposes to carry on listing activity in the future, Alpha Exchange Inc. will need to submit new listing rules for Commission approval. The Commission will also be considering the need to revise the terms and conditions of its order recognising Alpha Exchange Inc. to reflect the cessation of any listing activity on Alpha Exchange Inc.
