The Commission has made BC Instrument 45-507 entitled “Trades to Employees, Executives and Consultants” effective February 16, 2001. BCI 45-507 permits issuers to issue securities to their employees, executives and consultants, while harmonizing with the regulatory regime in Ontario relating to these trades. The Instrument parallels Ontario Rule 45-503 - Trades to Employees, Executives and Consultants and, to ensure consistency, we have largely adopted the wording of the Ontario Rule despite the fact that it does not follow our normal drafting conventions and interpretations. Changes have been made from the Ontario Rule to model the resale and filing provisions on Part 10 of the Securities Rules and to permit only senior listed issuers to issue securities to consultants whose services include investor relations.
Concurrent with this Instrument being made and coming into effect, NIN #93/18 will be rescinded and BOR #96/15 will be revoked.
