Public Listings
With a growing roster of corporate issuers, Cboe lists senior companies looking to raise capital on public markets. Our robust onboarding process and unparalleled service and support ensure the best possible opportunities for success as a public company.
Going Public
There are a number of ways to enter the public markets and obtain a listing with Cboe Canada, including a traditional IPO (Initial Public Offering), an RTO (Reverse Take-Over), a direct listing, or a qualifying transaction through an acquisition corporation program. Investors in an acquisition corporation program invest in an experienced management team seeking to acquire or merge with other companies, while benefiting from robust investor protection mechanisms.
We offer two options for acquisition corporations, based on the target size of the qualifying transaction:
- G-Corp™ (Growth Acquisition Corporation) targeting mid-market growth companies Learn more >
- SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation) targeting large-cap senior companies Learn more >
Alternatively, companies that are already publicly listed on another exchange can migrate, graduate, or dual list with Cboe Canada, subject to the NEO Exchange listing standards.
