If the insider is an individual, start entering information on the web page titled “Create insider profile (Form 55-102F1) - Enter individual information”.  If the individual insider has submitted a SEDI user registration form, select “Copy your user registration information” to avoid re-entering the insider’s personal information.  If the insider is not an individual, select “Enter company information” and start entering information on the web page titled “Create insider profile (Form 55-102F1) - Enter company information”.

1. Insider’s full legal name

Provide the full legal name of the insider.  Use upper and lower case letters as applicable.  Do not use initials, nicknames or abbreviations.  If the insider is an individual, complete the “Insider family name” and the “Insider given names” fields.  If the insider is not an individual, provide the full legal name of the insider in the “Insider company name” field.

2. Name of insider representative (if applicable)

If the insider is not an individual, provide the full legal name of an individual representative of the insider using the “Family name” and “Given names” fields. Use upper and lower case letters as applicable.  Do not use initials, nicknames or abbreviations.

3. Insider’s address

If the insider is an individual, provide the insider’s principal residential address.  Otherwise, provide the business address where the insider’s representative (provided in item 2 above) is employed.  In either case, select or provide the country and provide the address (street name and number, etc.), the municipality (city, town, etc.), province, territory or state and postal or zip code, as applicable.  A post office box or similar mailing address is not acceptable. 

4. Insider’s telephone number

5. Insider’s fax number (if applicable)

If available, provide a fax number for the insider (if the insider is an individual) or for the insider’s representative (if the insider is not an individual).

6. Insider’s e-mail address (if applicable)

If available, provide an e-mail address for the insider (if the insider is an individual) or for the insider’s representative (if the insider is not an individual).

7. Correspondence in English or French

If the insider is an individual resident in Quebec, the insider may choose to receive any correspondence from the Quebec securities regulatory authority in English.  If no choice is made, any correspondence from the Quebec securities regulatory authority shall be in French.  If the insider is a person or company other than an individual and is resident in Quebec, any correspondence from the Quebec securities regulatory authority shall be in French.

If the insider is resident in Manitoba, New Brunswick or Ontario, the insider may choose to receive any correspondence from the local securities regulatory authority in French.  If no choice is made, any correspondence from the local securities regulatory authority shall be in English.

8. Confidential question and answer

Provide a “confidential question” and an answer to the confidential question for use in verifying the identity of the insider or the insider’s representative if a request is being made to the SEDI operator for a new insider access key.  Keep a record of the confidential question and answer in a secure location.

9. Add name(s) of reporting issuer(s)

Add the name of each reporting issuer in respect of which the insider is required to file an insider report in SEDI format.  Search for and select each reporting issuer to be added from a database of all SEDI issuers provided for this purpose.  Use the reporting issuer’s SEDAR number or its legal name (in English or French) to conduct your search.  Make sure you select the correct reporting issuer before you proceed further.  If you are unable to find the reporting issuer that you are searching for, contact the reporting issuer or the SEDI operator for assistance.  Note that the reporting issuer will not appear in your search results unless the reporting issuer has created an issuer profile in SEDAR and filed an issuer profile supplement in SEDI.

If the insider has ceased to be an insider of a reporting issuer added previously to the insider profile, see item 12 below.

10. Insider’s relationship to reporting issuer

For each reporting issuer added under item 9 above, disclose all of the insider’s relationships to that reporting issuer by selecting from the list of relationship types provided.

11. Date the insider became an insider or date of previous paper filing

For each reporting issuer added under item 9 above, if the insider has not filed an insider report in respect of the reporting issuer since becoming an insider, provide the date on which the insider became an insider of the reporting issuer.  Alternatively, if the insider has previously filed an insider report in paper format in respect of the reporting issuer, provide the date of the insider’s last paper filing in respect of the reporting issuer. 

12. Date the insider ceased to be an insider

If the insider has ceased to be an insider of a reporting issuer added previously to the insider profile, amend the insider profile by providing the date on which the insider ceased to be an insider of the reporting issuer in the fields provided for this purpose on the web page titled “Amend insider profile - Amend issuer information.”

Optional Information

An insider profile filed in SEDI format may, at the option of the insider, contain the following additional information:

13. Additional contact information

For each reporting issuer added to the insider profile, the insider may provide another address at which the insider prefers to be contacted (such as a business address) or may provide contact information for another individual who is to be contacted by the securities regulatory authority instead of the insider.  To provide additional contact information, check the applicable box under “Optional information” on the web page titled “Create insider profile - Enter information about the insider’s relationship to the issuer”.

14. Add name(s) of registered holder(s) of securities

If the insider is required to file an insider report in respect of securities owned indirectly or over which control or direction is exercised, the insider must provide the name of the registered holder of the securities at the time the insider report is filed.  To assist the insider in complying with this requirement, for each reporting issuer added to the insider’s profile the insider may add the name(s) of the registered holder(s) of securities of the reporting issuer that the insider is required to provide in an insider report. 

To add the name(s) of the registered holder(s) for the reporting issuer, check the applicable box under “Optional information” on the web page titled “Create insider profile - Enter information about the insider’s relationship to the issuer”. Any name added to the insider’s profile in this manner may be selected when an insider report is prepared in SEDI format and registered holder information is required.  The full legal name of the registered holder must be provided in each case.

Securities beneficially owned directly but held through a nominee such as a broker or book-based depository are considered direct holdings.

Amending Insider Profile To Add a Reporting Issuer

If an insider that has previously filed an insider profile is required to file an insider report in SEDI format in respect of a reporting issuer that is not already disclosed in the insider profile, amend the insider profile to add the name of the reporting issuer, to disclose all of the insider’s relationships to the reporting issuer and to provide the date the insider became an insider or the date of the previous paper filing, as applicable.  Provide the information required in items 9, 10 and 11 above.

Certification

Prior to submitting an insider profile, the insider or the insider’s agent must certify that the information is true and complete in every respect by selecting “Certify” on the web page titled “Create insider profile - Certify and file insider profile” and following the instructions provided for this purpose.  In the case of an agent, the certification is based on the agent’s best knowledge, information and belief but the insider is still responsible for ensuring that the information filed by the agent is true and complete.  It is an offence to submit information that, in a material respect and at the time and in the light of the circumstances in which it is submitted, is misleading or untrue.
