Monthly Fee - The monthly maintenance fee is due on the first business day of each month the Company is listed. The first monthly fee will be due on the first day of the month following the listing date. No fee will be applied to the period between the listing date and the first monthly fee. In the event of suspension or delisting, no portion of the fee will be refunded. Each listed issuer will be assessed a monthly fee calculated as a percentage of its daily average market capitalization for the first 9 months of the previous calendar year. The first monthly fee for a Listed Issuer will be the minimum base fee of $875. Subsequent monthly fees will be calculated using the daily average market capitalization between the listing date and the second monthly fee.
For companies with restricted shares listed and one or more classes of convertible multiple voting shares outstanding, market capitalization will be calculated as if all shares had been converted to the listed class.
