The Commission has issued BC Instrument 45-525 Exemption for distribution reinvestment plans to provide an exemption from the dealer registration and prospectus requirements for dividend or distribution reinvestment plans. This is an alternative to the one provided in section 2.2 of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions (NI 45-106). We understand that section 2.2 of NI 45-106 cannot be used for plans that issue securities of a different class or series than those to which the dividends or distributions are attributable. Most of the other Canadian jurisdictions who have adopted NI 45-106 have issued or will be issuing similar blanket orders.
