On September 9, the Toronto Stock Exchange announced the adoption of amendments to its Company Manual to create a harmonized Personal Information Form and a harmonized Declaration to be used by it and the TSX Venture Exchange. Changes to the forms are not considered material, and consist of minor drafting changes. The amendments have been approved by the OSC and came into force on September 9.

The TSX will, however, continue to accept PIFs and Declarations in the previous form until December 31, 2011, provided that all of the required information, identification and notarization are included. After that date, the new forms will be required.
