The OSC today released a notice providing guidance for issuers and
advisors preparing and filing reports of exempt distribution under
NI 45-106Prospectus and Registration Exemptions. Among
other things, the notice reminds filers to identify the
correct prospectus exemption relied on for the distribution in
Ontario (and specifically notes that certain exemptions, like the
family, friends and business associates exemption, are not
available in the province) and states that an explanation should be
provided if the purchase price for the securities distributed is
$0. As
we discussed in April, CSA staff recently released a
notice highlighting issues identified in reports of exempt
distributions and providing guidance relevant to the preparation of
the form.
The OSC also announced that an electronic
version of Form 45-106F1Report of
Exempt Distribution will now be available on its website.
The form, which is required in respect of distributions made in
reliance on certain specified prospectus exemptions, can now be
filled out and submitted online.
