11-316 - Notice of Local Amendments – British Columbia [CSA Staff Notice - Lapsed]

On May 6, 2011, we published CSA Staff Notice 11-314 indicating staff’s intention to update rule consolidations where a local jurisdiction has amended a national or multilateral instrument to reflect changes that affect activity only in that local jurisdiction.

On October 3, 2011, the British Columbia Securities Commission made amendments to National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions, principally by adopting a new exempt distribution form, Form 45-106F6 British Columbia Report of Exempt Distribution (the BC form). The BC form replaces Form 45-106F1 Report of Exempt Distribution, for distributions in British Columbia that occur on or after October 3, 2011. British Columbia is the only jurisdiction where the BC form applies. All other jurisdictions require reports of exempt distribution to be filed using Form 45-106F1 Report of Exempt Distribution. For more information about the BC form and associated documents, see BCN 2011/26 and BCN 2011/34.

Annex A to this notice sets out the text of the BC form and the related amendments. CSA members in other jurisdictions will update the text of consolidated NI 45-106 on their websites to reflect these local amendments.
