In the attached notice, the Canadian Securities Administrators announce the expected adoption of amendments to
- National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
- Form 51-102F1, Form 51-102F2, Form 51-102F3, Form 51-102F4, Form 51-102F5, and Form 51-102F6
- Companion Policy 51-102CP Continuous Disclosure Obligations
- National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable Accounting Principles, Auditing Standards and Reporting Currency
- National Instrument 71-102 Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions relating to Foreign Issuers (NI 71-102)
- Companion Policy 71-102CP Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions relating to Foreign Issuers and
- National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions and Form 44-101F1 Short Form Prospectus
When the Commission formally adopts the amendments to NI 51-102 and its related documents, we also intend to revoke the following local instruments that will become obsolete:
- BC Instrument 51-507 Venture Issuers Traded on Certain Foreign Markets
- BC Instrument 51-508 Exemption for Interim Periods in Non-standard Financial Years
- BC Interpretation Note 52-703 Use of Currencies in Material filed with Securities Regulatory Authorities
When the amendments to NI 51-102 and its related documents come into force, we also plan to replace BC Instrument 51-801 Implementing National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations and National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable Accounting Principles, Auditing Standards and Reporting Currencywith a new, narrower implementing instrument that will exempt an issuer (other than an investment fund) from certain financial reporting requirements in the Securities Rules, provided the issuer complies with National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable Accounting Principles, Auditing Standards and Reporting Currency.
The Commission adopted National Instrument 71-102 Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions relating to Foreign Issuers as an exemption order rather than as a commission rule. Because of this, instead of adopting amendments to NI 71-102 as the rest of the CSA will do, we will revoke it and will replace it with a new NI 71-102 that reflects the amendments discussed in the CSA Advance Notice. We will similarly revoke and replace the companion policy to 71-102.
