Notice of Commission Approval – Amendments to Universal Market Integrity Rule 6.6 – Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC)

The Ontario Securities Commission approved amendments to IIROC Universal Market Integrity Rule 6.6. The Amendments confirm that the provision of price improvement by a Dark Order is not required if the order that it executes against is an odd-lot order. The Amendments help ensure that requirements respecting the execution of odd-lot orders are applied in a consistent manner on all marketplaces that support the execution of odd-lot orders. A copy of the IIROC Notice was also published on our website at http://www.osc.gov.on.ca.
