Circular on Profit Warnings Clarification

This circular mandates that the threshold for issuing profit warnings under the Capital Markets Regulations is based on earnings after tax. Issuers must issue a profit warning as soon as management, defined specifically as the Chief Executive Officer, becomes aware of a likely drop in earnings exceeding 25%. Compliance with these specific clarifications regarding earnings metrics and management accountability is required for all issuers of securities.
