4 | TMX Reconciliation Action Plan TMX Group’s unifying purpose is to make markets better and empower bold ideas. More than a marketing slogan or a tagline, this is our commitment to the financial ecosystem and everyone who participates in it. Our role at the heart of Canada’s markets, and by extension the economy, is one of privilege, and it is also one of responsibility. In keeping with this responsibility, we have set out to improve Indigenous inclusion and representation across our organization and our industry in Canada. Capital markets represent powerful engines of opportunity: platforms for entrepreneurs and businesses to raise capital to fund the next great idea, and for investors to participate in that prosperity. Canada’s markets are the best in the world, but they can be better – by increasing access and participation for groups that have historically been excluded and strengthening ties to communities across the country. This belief drives our commitment to advancing reconciliation. TMX Group’s transformative journey began in 2021, with a proposal brought forward by the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE), filed on behalf of the Atkinson Foundation, to improve Indigenous relations and inclusion at TMX. Our shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of this proposal and everyone at TMX – the Board of Directors, senior leaders and employees – embraced the effort. We reached out to Indigenous organizations and began the process of building closer relationships by listening, learning and collaborating on new ways to support the sustainable growth of the underrepresented Indigenous economy, and more inclusive practices. Our first Reconciliation Action Plan represents an important milestone in this journey. In it, we detail how we will work to realign capital, an idea shared with us by the Indigenomics Institute, one of Canada’s leading Indigenous economics organizations. The concept of realigning capital builds on the need to support Indigenous access to capital – acknowledging that beyond access, investors and capitalseekers require education, knowledge and access to one another. Our goal in sharing this plan is not only to put forth TMX’s commitments, but also to help investors understand and assess the important work we are doing. We recognize that the path to reconciliation is an ongoing and evolving process. TMX Group’s Board, senior management team and our entire organization are committed to the important work ahead. We look forward to updating you on our progress. John McKenzie Chief Executive Officer Message from the CEO
