	In accordance with the process for the Review and Approval of Rules and Information Contained in Form 21-101F1 and the Exhibits Thereto attached as Appendices to its recognition orders (the Protocol). CNSX Markets Inc. (CSE) has proposed, and the Ontario Securities Commission and British Columbia Commission have approved significant changes (the “Amendments”) to CSE Listing Policies (Policies) to introduce resale restrictions on listed securities issued by Listed Issuers.

	Summary of the Amendments

	On February 20, 2025, CSE published <a href="https://thecse.com/notice/notice-2025-002-proposed-amendments-to-cse-listing-policies-notice-and/">Notice 2025-002</a> – Proposed Amendments to CSE Listing Policies – Notice and Request for Comments. With the implementation of these Amendments, CSE will introduce resale restrictions (or “Holds”) on all prospectus-exempt issuances of listed securities, excluding issuances by NV Issuers, which is consistent with the treatment of “non-venture” issuers on other exchanges in Canada.

	The Amendments make the CSE’s existing practice of using discretion to impose terms and conditions relating to resale restrictions on the issuance of shares more transparent. The Amendments also provide a framework through which Holds will be applied to listed issuers, other than NV Issuers. Additionally, the Amendments will prohibit the issuance of immediately tradable shares issued at a discount to market, or shares issued as consideration for assets without comprehensive disclosure of the&nbsp;value of those assets.

	Comments

	The comment period ended on March 21, 2025. CSE received four comment letters. A summary of the comments received, together with the CSE’s responses, is attached as Appendix A. CSE thanks each of the commenters for their support and thanks industry participants for their input in this proposal.

	Description of Non-Material Change Resulting from the Comments

	In addressing one of the comment letters, the Exchange will retain an explicit provision in policy 6.1(4)(a) to approve the issuance of shares without an Exchange Hold or Extended Hold.

	CSE Policy 6.1(4)(a):

	“In addition to any resale restrictions imposed pursuant to applicable securities laws, where listed securities are issued by an issuer other than an NV Issuer pursuant to a prospectus exemption, the listed securities are subject to an Exchange Hold commencing on the date of issuance of the securities unless written approval to issue the securities without the hold period is obtained from the Exchange.”

	The CSE has decided to retain this approval requirement for instances where issuing shares without a hold would be appropriate, subject to written approval from the Exchange. This amendment is a non-material change because it has been an existing requirement in CSE Policy 6.1(4)(a).

	The blacklined text of the referred policy reflecting this change is included in Appendix B.

	Current CSE Policies are available at: <a href="https://thecse.com/listing/fees-policies-forms/#listing-policies">Policies</a> | CSE - Canadian Securities Exchange (thecse.com)

	Effective Date

	The Amendments will take effect immediately.

	Questions

	Questions about this notice may be directed to:&nbsp;&nbsp;
