BISX Advances Student Education Program

BISX PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

BISX ADVANCES STUDENT EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Bahamas International Securities Exchange (BISX) spent the morning of Friday, April 26, 2013 at the Doris Johnson Senior High School speaking to a Grade 11 Economics class. This followed an engagement on Friday, April 12, 2013 at Queen’s College speaking with Grade 12 Economics and Commerce students about stocks, investing and the local stock exchange. Both visits allowed senior Exchange officials the opportunity to interact with young Bahamians in a small discussion setting that also allowed students the opportunity to ask questions directly to Exchange officials.

BISX Chief Executive, Keith Davies commented on the visit: “Young people are our future investors, and they bring such a unique perspective to discussions, so we not only talk about investing and stocks, but we also branch out to talk about education, especially their next step in their life, into college or another path. More than a few years have passed since I was a high school student, and it is easy to forget the concerns of young people at that stage in their educational, professional and financial life. Giving them advice on saving, investing and education is great from a social point of view. However, it is also smart business, because this generation is the first generation that will grow up having always been familiar with a stock exchange. BISX is only 13 years old, and these young people will mature along with our nation’s stock exchange.”

Mr. Davies went on to add: “I would like to say a special thank you to Mrs. Shandica Sweeting at Doris Johnson and Mrs. Monique Carnegie-Scavella at Queens College for inviting us to speak to their classes. What I appreciate the most about this was that this was our 2nd time speaking to one of Mrs. Sweeting’s class’s and the third time speaking to one of Mrs. Scavella’s class’s. They have decided that discussing saving and investing should be a part of their students curriculum, and we are only too happy to assist. This is a great commitment on behalf of these teachers. I would also like to thank the students for being so eager and willing to participate.”

“Over the part 5 years, we have had the opportunity to speak to a number of schools in Nassau about the Exchange. In the next academic year, we plan to also speak to schools in Grand Bahama, and utilizing modern technology, we hope to be able to speak to other schools throughout The Bahamas over alternative communication technologies such as Skype.”

Mr. Davies went on to explain that BISX welcomed any opportunity to speak to students who were preparing for the BGCSE Exams, as well as those students who were moving towards graduation and on into the work force. Completing his remarks Mr. Davies stated, “An educated investor base is essential to a proper capital market. The time and energy we put into educating students like those at Doris Johnson Senior High School and Queen’s College will create a whole new group of informed future investors who will seek to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in the Bahamian Capital Markets.”

COLINA HOLDINGS BAHAMAS LIMITED’S CLASS A PREFERENCE SHARES SUCCESSFULLY LISTED ON BISX

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

Wednesday, June 20, 2012

The Bahamas International Securities Exchange announced today that Colina Holdings Bahamas Limited (“CHBL”) has successfully completed the listing process for its Class A Preference Shares (the “Class A Shares”) which are now listed on the Exchange under the symbol CHLA. The Shares have been added to the roster of securities listed on the Exchange and will trade through the BISX Automated Trading System (BATS).

CHBL’s Executive Vice Chairman, Emanuel M. Alexiou, said, “The successful placement of these securities on BISX will afford CHBL an opportunity to develop relationships with new investors and continue to grow our liquidity over time.”

BISX is able to list the secondary issues of BISX listed companies with the Colina Holdings Bahamas Limited Class A Preference Shares becoming the seventh security to take advantage of this listing facility. Eligible secondary Issues include any security issued by a public company that is already listed on the Exchange. Included in the secondary listing category are corporate bonds, warrants and preference shares. The Class A Shares will trade over the Exchange abiding by the same trading rules as any other listed security.

Speaking about the CHLA listing, Keith Davies, the BISX Chief Executive Officer stated: “Colina Holdings Bahamas Limited has had a long history with the Exchange, and we are happy to list this secondary issue from them. CHBL has been listed on BISX since the Exchange began trading in May 2000.”

Speaking further, Mr. Davies noted: “By listing these Preference shares on the Exchange, CHBL is allowing its preference shareholders increased liquidity through being listed on the nation’s only stock exchange. The shares are available to a much wider base of investors than if the shares were traded in the over-the-counter market. In addition, investors benefit from having a centralized meeting place for buyers and sellers which allows an investor in the Class A Shares to see all buy and sell orders in this security as these are posted to the BISX website daily.”

NOTE: Attached to this message is the BISX Formal Trading Notice for the Colina Holdings Bahamas Limited Class A Preference Shares. This notice advises the public of the security to be listed on the Exchange and the trading symbol of the listed security.

ARAWAK PORT DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED SUCCESSFULLY LISTED ON BISX

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

Wednesday, April 18, 2012

The Bahamas International Securities Exchange (BISX) is pleased to announce that effective today the listing application submitted by the Arawak Port Development Company Limited has been formally approved by the BISX Listing Committee. Therefore, the company has been added to the Official Roster of companies listed on the Exchange. The ordinary shares (the “Shares”) will trade through the BISX Automated Trading System (BATS) under the symbol “APD”.

The listing of APD on BISX is the culmination of an effort that began in December 2011 with APD offering 1 million shares to the Bahamian investing public. This 1 million was combined with the 4 million shares already owned by the founding shareholders of APD and results in a total of 5 million APD shares issued and outstanding. APD will list these 5 million shares on BISX at an opening price of $10.00 and commence trading on Monday, April 23, 2012. As a result, APD will add $50 million in market capitalization to the Exchange.

Prior to submitting its application for listing to BISX, APD’s offering memorandum was reviewed and registered by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas in compliance with the Securities Industry Act, 1999. The offering memorandum was also reviewed by BISX to ensure that the offering memorandum met the disclosure requirements detailed in the BISX Rules.

Commenting on this latest listing, Keith Davies, the BISX Chief Executive Officer noted: “We are excited to add APD to the Exchange. What is most interesting about this share offering and listing is that this is one of the first times that Bahamians have been able to invest in a company that is still in the pre-operation stage of its development. The success of this offering should also illustrate the fact that Bahamians are willing to support and invest in strong companies based on their plans and future prospects.”

NOTE: Attached to this message is the BISX Formal Trading Notice for the Arawak Port Development Company Limited Shares. This notice advises the public of the securities to be listed on the Exchange and the trading symbol of the listed securities.
