NEO Stands in Solidarity with the People of Ukraine and Supports the Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal
Toronto | March 1, 2022 – media statement by Jos Schmitt, President & CEO of NEO:
“On behalf of the entire team at NEO, we are deeply saddened by the events unfolding in Ukraine and stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people during this devastating time for their country. Millions of Ukrainians are being impacted by the destructive conflict and need our support. We will donate 100% of all revenue generated from trading on the NEO Exchange this Friday, March 4, 2022 to the Canadian Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.
Like us, stock exchanges and many other businesses operating within the global capital market system are benefitting from the market volatility caused by the escalating tensions in Ukraine. Now is our time to show leadership and help the individuals, families and communities most affected by this crisis. We encourage our peers in the Canadian and global capital markets to come together and join the appeal. Together, we can provide much needed assistance to immediate humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine, long-term recovery efforts and emergency preparedness.”
