Effect(s)/impact on the business, financial condition and operations of the Issuer

From a corporate standpoint, maintaining the business operations of both the PSE and PDS while reducing operational costs through synergies can result in greater business scalability and profitability. As the two companies have highly similar and integrated functions, there should be synergies that could be realized from an infrastructure standpoint, particularly on the technology side.

For the market, the single exchange setup helps achieve efficiencies, reduce risks, and facilitate the development of new products.
