CSA Staff Notice 12-307 - Applications for a Decision that an Issuer is not a Reporting Issuer
This CSA Staff Notice described the simplified procedure that issuers who meet the criteria described in the notice can use to cease to be a reporting issuer in jurisdictions other than BC. In BC, issuers can use the process described in BC Instrument 11-502 Voluntary Surrender of Reporting Issuer Status. This notice also provides guidance to issuers that wish to cease to be a reporting issuer, and that do not meet the criteria to use either of these processes, about the information they will need to provide in an application to cease to be reporting issuer. It also describes what issuers who have been dissolved or have terminated can do to cease to be reporting issuers.BCN 2008/12 - Notice and Request for Comment Joint Application of Canadian Investor Protection Fund and the Investment Dealers Association of Canada
