Indexes and Index SelectionSEC/CSA/FSA regulations require that a public company provide a comparison of its’ performance to a broad based index (Canadian companies), and to an industry index or self-constructed peer group in the form of a line graph for U.S. and UK companies. The line graph should compare the yearly percentage change in the registrant's cumulative total shareholder return with the cumulative total return of a broad equity market index assuming reinvestment of dividends, and the cumulative total return, assuming reinvestment of dividends, of a published industry or line-of-business index. The term "published industry or line-of-business index" means any index that is prepared by a party other than the registrant or an affiliate and is accessible to the registrant's security holders; provided, however, that registrants may use an index prepared by the registrant or affiliate if such index is widely recognized and used.
