TSX Group Inc. will launch its U.S. business development campaign for 2007 in New York today. The event will be held at the Princeton Club in Manhattan from 12:00 to 13:00 ET.

CEO of TSX Group, Richard Nesbitt, will speak on this U.S. expansion effort and field inquiries about TSX Group and its recent alliance announcements with International Securities Exchange (ISE) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

Randall Oliphant, Chairman of TSX-listed Western Goldfields will be speaking on the company’s experiences as a U.S. entity listed on a TSX Group exchange. Opening remarks will be delivered by Dan Sullivan, Consul General of Canada in New York, and himself a former chairman of TSX.

The U.S. usiness development campaign will consist of TSX Group information sessions held in Denver, Reno, Houston, Dallas and other cities across the U.S. that are to be announced in the near future.

TSX Group will also center the campaign on increasing awareness among small to medium enterprises regarding opportunities to list on the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, both markets that balance a well-reputed regulatory structure with flexibility designed to foster and support growth for small cap companies.


Each information session will outline the prominence of TSX Group as the purveyor of a leading international resource equities market and its expertise in financing, mentoring and supporting small cap companies. The sessions will also feature CEOs of local companies addressing how listing on a TSX Group exchange has impacted operations and financing initiatives.
