(March 27 – 11:10 ET) – The Montreal Exchange has taken the final step in the restructuring of the Canadian exchanges, with the transfer of 57 equity options classes from the Toronto Stock Exchange. In addition to its exclusive futures market, the Montreal Exchange now becomes the sole options market in Canada, with a total listing of 141 options classes.

“The transfer of options from Toronto to Montreal is a significant event for the Montreal Exchange, because it confirms, now more than ever, that we are the Canadian derivatives exchange. The Montreal Exchange can now go forward with its dynamic plans to grow the futures and options markets in Canada,” says Gérald A. Lacoste, president and CEO of the Montreal Exchange.
