CALGARY, Feb. 25, 2014 /CNW/ - NGX, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMX
Group Limited, celebrated its 20th anniversary by opening today's trading session in Toronto.
"This morning we recognize a significant milestone in NGX's history and
a proud day for our employees," said Jim Oosterbaan, President, NGX.
"In a relatively short period of time, beginning with the deregulation
of Canadian natural gas markets and the launch of NGX in 1994, through
the acquisition by TMX Group in 2004 and our alliance with ICE in 2008,
NGX has evolved into the leading physical energy clearinghouse in North
America. Today, NGX's founding principles of providing customers with
liquid, efficient and reliable markets remain as strong as ever."
"TMX Group has proudly supported and shared in NGX's accomplishments
since acquisition ten years ago," added Tom Kloet, CEO, TMX Group. "The
NGX team has added great value to our organization and we are excited
about their future prospects."
