Mines and Energy Key Features What information sections can a listing contain? FAQ's Each listing begins with Full Legal Name. Introductory Paragraph: A summary of frequently used data items grouped together for ease of reference: listing information (exchange, base 3- character symbol for regular exchanges; if suspended, (S) will follow the exchange), CUSIP, address (head office, executive office, mailing; if in receivership, either receiver or trustee), telephone number, toll-free telephone number, fax number, website and email, investor relations contact and telephone number, auditors, bankers, lawyers, transfer agents, FP 500 ranking (if applicable), and number of employees and date. Profile begins with the current jurisdictions of incorporation and years, followed by a brief summary of the company's business. Depending on how each specific company reports, this section may consist of several paragraphs covering the company as a whole, or may be divided by appropriate headings into various topics. For many industrial companies, operations are presented by division, product or geographical area. Information provided could include plant or store locations, capacity, production details, recent (or planned) expansions or downsizings. For resource companies (oil, gas, mining), operations include details of landholdings, exploration and development work done on and planned for various properties, along with tabular presentations of reserves and production statistics. Recent Merger and Acquisitions Activity lists transactions that took place over the past 18 months from date of extract. Only transactions with a value equal to or greater than $1,000,000 is displayed. Predecessor Detail shows the most recent predecessor information on the company. Directors, Trustees and Other Executive Officers provides a list of directors or trustees and officers of the company with their city, province/state and country. Executive directors are shown first, with their positions with the company, followed by the lead director, other directors, and other executive officers who are not directors. For many income trusts, directors or trustees and other executive officers of the underlying operating trust, management company or subsidiary are provided under the headings: Oper. Subsid./Mgt. Co. Trustees/Directors/Officers. Capital Stock begins with a table showing authorized and outstanding shares for each issue at a specified date (plus par value if applicable), followed by a brief summary of key provisions for each issue. As most common shares carry one vote per share, only exceptions are noted. Major Shareholder shows holders of more than 10% of voting stock. Price Range covers the lead share (major trading share), and shows ticker symbol, volume, high, low and close for five calendar years. Prices are blended prices from all Canadian exchanges on which the stock is listed. Note that some U.S. interlisted companies seldom trade in Canada, and their price range may be empty or represent very few trades. Price Range does not display where there is no trading or where there were only odd-lot trades. Recent Close is at date of extraction, or the most recent trade within the preceding 12 months. Capital Stock Changes are summarized for the previous two years, for most companies. Dividends provides current and previous dividend rates (if within two years from date of publication) for each security. If a security does not pay on a set rate, up to four recent payments will be detailed. If a security is on a floating rate, the most recent four payments plus a summary of the totals for the previous two calendar years will be provided. Long-Term Debt summarizes authorized and issued amounts outstanding at a specific date, along with key details of specific issues. For certain industries, debt, not long-term debt, is reported. Subsidiaries are categorized as follows: Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, Subsidiaries (in which a controlling interest is held, but are not wholly owned), and Investments, showing % ownership, and location. Corporate structures are maintained (i.e. subsidiaries of subsidiaries). Financial Statistics are provided in tabular form for companies with more than $100,000 in assets, subject to editorial discretion. Information is provided for two fiscal years. Preliminary, restated and pro forma figures are used if available, and are footnoted when used. (See also separate Guide to Financial Statistics Tables.) Interim results are presented in paragraph form. A Historical Summary provides Revenue, Net Income before discontinued operations, and Earnings per Share before discontinued operations (all on an originally reported basis). Companies with no operations and Capital Pool companies may have financials presented in paragraph form, providing income and balance sheet summaries. Per share figures are rounded to 2 decimal places; "0.00" indicates a value less than 2 decimal places.
