• No securities of the Applicant are traded on a market place as defined in National Instrument 21-101 Marketplace Operation;

Each of the Decision Makers is satisfied that the test contained in the Legislation that provides the Decision Maker with the jurisdiction to make the decision has been met and orders that the Applicant is deemed to have ceased to be a reporting issuer.
