approved exchange
“approved exchange” means a corporation that is approved by the Authority under section 9(1)(a) as an approved exchange;
In this Subdivision, any reference to an amendment to a business rule or listing rule is to be construed as a reference to a change to the scope of, or to any requirement, obligation or restriction under, the business rule or listing rule (as the case may be), whether the change is made by an alteration to the text of the rule or by any other notice issued by or on behalf of the approved exchange.
Any approved exchange which contravenes subsection (1) or (2) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $150,000 and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding $15,000 for every day or part of a day during which the offence continues after conviction.
