MATCHNow public and private data are provided for a fee by Cboe Canada or, for public information only, by TMXIP. Connectivity providers and other parties requiring connectivity, for example, market data recipients (collectively, “Connectivity Customers”) and Members must request access from either Cboe Canada or TMXIP respectively.

For public feeds, Members and Connectivity Customers are charged a fee of $500 per month + sales tax for a primary and backup multicast feed. In addition, any Members or Connectivity Customer receiving a public MATCHNow market data feed through indirect distribution from any other Members or Connectivity Customer is also charged $500 per month + sales tax.

For private feeds, Cboe Canada charges each Member $100 per month + sales tax for one primary and one backup drop copy feed. Any additional drop copy feed taken directly by a Member is charged at $500 per month + sales tax per instance. Where the Member takes one or more additional drop copy feeds via a single Connectivity Customer, the fee charged to the Member is capped at $500 per month + sales tax, regardless of how many additional drop copy feeds are taken; if a Member connects through more than one Connectivity Customer and takes more than one additional drop copy feed through each such Connectivity Customer, the applicable fee is capped at $500 per month + sales tax per Connectivity Customer, regardless of how many additional feeds are taken through each of the Connectivity Customers.

Communication costs and network connectivity are the responsibility of Members and Connectivity Customers.
