TMX to take 59% stake in MEMX in US$800million cash deal, forming US$2.3billion exchange group
TMX Group's US$800m cash investment for control of MEMX and the planned BOX-MEMX combination accelerates its U.S. market-infrastructure expansion, adding listing and options capabilities beyond its existing ATS. The deal extends TMX's ongoing acquisition cycle (VettaFi/RAFI and Cboe Canada/Australia assets) and raises near-term focus on integration, regulatory review, and capital deployment rather than broad macro market direction.
