Viterra: That’s “VT” to brokers

By FBC staff
Stock in Canada’s biggest grain handler will begin trading Friday under the ticker symbol VT on Toronto’s TSX.
Viterra, which formed from the June purchase of No. 1 grain handler Agricore United by No. 2 handler Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, adopted the new name at the end of August and will make the formal name change in March 2008. Until then the Regina-based company is still technically Saskatchewan Wheat Pool.
Starting Friday, the VT symbol replaces SaskPool’s SWP on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) ticker. Agricore United previously traded under the symbol AU.
SWP shares closed today on the TSX at $11.50, up from their $11.38 close yesterday, trading at relatively lower volume.
