The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) are publishing for comment proposed

  • National Instrument 41-103 Supplementary Prospectus Disclosure Requirements for Securitized Products, including Form 41-103F1 Supplementary Information Required in a Securitized Products Prospectus
  • National Instrument 51-106 Continuous Disclosure Requirements for Securitized Products, including the following proposed new forms
    • Form 51-106F1 Payment and Performance Report for Securitized Products
    • Form 51-106F2 Report of Significant Events Relating to Securitized Products
     
  • amendments to National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions, including the following proposed new forms

    • Form 45-106F8 Periodic Disclosure Report for Short-Term Securitized Products Distributed under an Exemption from the Prospectus Requirement
     

 
The attached CSA notice describes what we and other members of the CSA are proposing. The proposed new rules would 

  • require issuers of securitized products to provide significantly more disclosure about the parties involved in a securitization transaction, and the assets underlying a securitization in their prospectus and continuous disclosure filings;
  • make certain prospectus exemptions unavailable for the sale of securitized products, and limit the sale and resale of securitized products in the exempt market to “eligible securitized product investors”; and
  • require issuers distributing securitized products in the exempt market to provide initial and ongoing disclosure to investors.

Other amendments and proposed forms
We are also publishing for comment proposed

  • amendments to National Instrument 45-102 Resale of Securities
  • amendments to National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, including the following proposed new forms
    • Form 52-109FS1 Certification of Annual Filings – Securitized Product Issuer
    • Form 52-109FS1R Certification of Refiled Annual Filings – Securitized Product Issuer
    • Form 52-109FS1 AIF Certification of Annual Filings in Connection with Voluntarily Filed AIF – Securitized Product Issuer
    • Form 52-109FS2 Certification of Interim Filings – Securitized Product Issuer
    • Form 52-109FS2R Certification of Refiled Interim Filings – Securitized Product Issuer
     
  • consequential amendments to
    • National Instrument 41-101 General Prospectus Requirements
    • National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions
    • National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
