The Trinidad and Tobago Securities and Exchange Commission (“the Commission”) has developed a regime for the distribution of Depositary Receipts in Trinidad and Tobago. We are of the view that the introduction of Depositary Receipts will significantly expand our capital markets while creating increased liquidity. The Commission will be hosting a breakfast meeting at the Jaffa Oval Resturanton Wednesday April 9th 2008 from 7:30 am to 10:30 am to introduce the Depositary Receipts programme to the investing community, other key stakeholders and the general public. The meeting will include a presentation on Depositary Receipts by Charles de Silva Deputy General Manager of the Commission and Mr. Wainwright Iton General Manager of the Stock Exchange will address the audience on the implications for the Stock Exchange. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for participants to share their thoughts and concerns on the issue of Depositary Receipts and have them addressed during the discussion session at the end of the presentations.
