Omega’s Breakpoint Pricing provides broker dealers with discounted liquidity providing rates based on the overall volume executed on equities for a given month.

There is no additional paperwork required to qualify and all participants are automatically enrolled. When a tier is reached, the discount will automatically apply to ALL equities for the month, not just for trades executed after the tier is reached. The discount will be automatically reflected in that month’s invoice. This pricing applies to all Canadian listed and inter-listed equities.

Omega ATS pays a capped rebate of CDN$25,000.00 for equity shares crossed on Omega ATS in a given month. A rebate of CDN$0.000125/Share will be paid to participants for monthly participant crossed total equity volume less than or equal to 200,000,000 shares.

For months with participant crossed total equity volume greater than 200,000,000 shares the total pool of CDN$25,000.00 will be distributed on a prorated basis.

Monthly crossed volume only applies to Intentional Crosses¹ and Internal Crosses² as defined by UMIR.   All crosses on Omega ATS are bypass, thus Internal Crosses are marked as Bypass Internal Crosses. Cross volume will not be “double counted”, and will be counted as just one side of a cross.

There is a per subscriber cap of CDN$12,500 and a per intentional cross cap of CDN$125.

¹ ‘intentional cross’ means a trade resulting from the entry by a Participant or Access Person of both the order to purchase and the order to sell a security, but does not Include a trade in which the Participant has entered one of the orders as a jitney order.

² ‘Internal cross’ means an intentional cross between two accounts which are managed by a single firm acting as a portfolio manager with discretionary authority to manage the investment portfolio granted by each of the holders of the accounts and includes a trade in respect of which the Participant or Access Person is acting as a portfolio manager in authorizing the trade between the two accounts.
