Alternative Exchanges ASX TSX worth considering29 Apr 2020 19:35
Morning All,
Before you howl at me in horror, this may be worth considering as an alternative to AIM and many of its problems.
With TDW now part of interactive investors I previously shares in numerous exchanges possibly, a main difference will be time zones (minor issue). I used ASX, TSX, USA and Singapore, you can buy - sell using whichever currency you hold in the appropriate account. They all have variable ways of listing, main or secondary for example it can all be read on the respective site.
Once you have transferred sterling it makes no difference save maybe 2-3% fx charges, which you can manages as you wish. (No I don’t work for iii).
I assume we will in due course list on the JSE, so as a mining company, our markets include the Americas, similar companies exist (TSX ASX) so we would be joining an established and knowledgeable market with major end users who may prefer locally listed companies as the battery technology develops.
Toronto TSX and TSXV ( I am more familiar with TSX), are both heavily involved in natural resources, many companies for example Glencore have subsidiaries in both Toronto and Australia and from the past I have even been able to subscribe in Right Issues in Canada with no issues apart from an email to what was then TDW. TSX companies often have up to 40% shareholder from overseas. TSX offers IPO, Reverse takeover, Capital pool co, direct listing.
Australian ASX similarly a resource market, quarterly reports and quarterly cash flows reporting, an market that understands natural resource companies, asset test $15m working capital, a free float of 20% in due course may via an IPO for example, all good for us.
It worth considering given our AIM problems, the potential end users who may use our technology in the future, I wonder how many might answer though as this is not the normal topic for the LSA web-site!
