OMEGA ATS Chief Operating Officer, Greg King, said: "Our connectivity with Fidessa is another important milestone in the growth of Canada's alternative marketplace." King adds: "Since we launched OMEGA ATS late last year, we've seen rapid growth in our trading volumes, with a limited number of service bureau connections. Adding the Fidessa client base will further broaden our market reach and the liquidity available in Canada. It's an important part of our commitment of giving technology vendors access to OMEGA ATS."

OMEGA ATS is a fully anonymous, low-cost alternative trading system for TSX-listed securities. Operated by Perimeter Markets Inc., OMEGA ATS is available through the Fidessa trading platform in Canada, as well as via FIX through Fidessa's global connectivity network.

The appetite for Canadian market access is growing exponentially and this connection is further testimony to our ability to offer our customers the greatest choice of Canadian destinations to trade and our rapidly expanding Canadian presence."
