180 Capital Pool Companies on Toronto Stock Exchange

The Capital Pool Company (CPC) Program is a public-listing mechanism offered by Toronto Stock Exchange’s Venture Exchange. It enables private companies in Canada to raise capital and go public in a quick and efficient manner.

Three or more experienced directors put up a minimum of the greater of $100,000 or 5% of total funds raised from investors to incorporate and capitalize a shell company (CPC).

The CPC then goes public via an initial public offering (IPO), but with no business trading operations at the time of its IPO. Essentially, it goes from a private shell company to a public shell company.

It then focuses on  acquiring another company, which has commercial operations, through a reverse merger. This is called a Qualifying Transaction and must be completed within 24 months of the private CPC going public.

Once the acquisition is completed, the acquired company becomes a public company itself. It then has access to capital from the public markets.

As such, the CPC Program offers an alternative vehicle for private companies to raise capital and go public.
