Canadian Securities Exchange Reports April 2025 Performance Figures

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2025) - The Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE" or "the Exchange") today announced market statistics for April 2025.

April 2025 Operating Statistics

• Trading volume of CSE listed securities totaled 1.1 billion shares;
• Trading value of CSE listed securities was $265 million;
• CSE issuers completed 90 financings that raised an aggregate $115 million; and
• The CSE welcomed listings from three new companies, including one fundamental change of an existing issuer, bringing total listed securities to 762 as at April 30, 2025.

"The month of April was highlighted by the listing of SNDL Inc., one of the most advanced cannabis companies to list on the Canadian Securities Exchange," said Richard Carleton, CEO of the CSE. "SNDL immediately joined the CSE's Senior Tier, which made it accessible to a broader range of institutional investors and index funds. The Senior Tier, which was introduced in 2023, makes the CSE significantly more attractive to larger issuers seeking a senior listing alternative in Canada."
