Description:
On June 30, the Canadian Securities Administrators, including the BCSC, will implement amendments to streamline and tailor disclosure by venture issuers.
These amendments will reduce the regulatory burden imposed on venture issuers without compromising investor protection and market integrity.
On June 18, 2015, the BCSC hosted two free sessions to learn about the amendments directly from BCSC staff who drafted them. At these sessions, we
- described what is changing for venture issuers including:
- the option to use quarterly highlights instead of MD&A
- reduced reporting requirements for acquisitions
- a new streamlined executive compensation form
- explained the timing and transition
- provided an overview of our expectations for disclosure
- answered specific questions
CPD for Lawyers: You can claim 1.0 hours CPD credit for this session. (The BCSC is a Pre-approved CPD provider with the Law Society of British Columbia)
