Early Release Graduation to Tier 1 (1) When a CPC or Resulting Issuer becomes a Tier 1 Issuer, the release schedule for its escrow securities changes. (2) If the Issuer reasonably believes that it meets the Initial Listing Requirements of a Tier 1 Issuer as described in Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements, the Issuer may make application to the Exchange to be listed as a Tier 1 Issuer. The Issuer must also concurrently provide notice to the Escrow Agent that it is making such an application. (3) If the graduation to Tier 1 is accepted by the Exchange, the Exchange will issue an Exchange Bulletin confirming final acceptance for listing of the Issuer on Tier 1. Upon issuance of this Bulletin the Issuer must immediately: (a) issue a news release disclosing: (i) that it has been accepted for graduation to Tier 1; and (ii) the number of escrow securities to be released and the dates of release under the new schedule; and (b) provide the news release, together with a copy of the Exchange Bulletin, to the Escrow Agent. (4) Upon completion of the steps in section 3.1(3) above, the Issuer’s release schedule B(1) will be replaced with release schedule B(2). (5) Within 10 days of the Exchange Bulletin confirming the Issuer’s listing on Tier 1, the Escrow Agent must release any escrow securities from escrow which under the new release schedule would have been releasable at a date prior to the Exchange Bulletin.
