Effective Date: December 5, 2024
Due to the suspension of postal service, reporting issuers are currently unable to deliver proxy-related materials using Canada Post. Courier delivery may be cost-prohibitive and may not be a feasible alternative in any case, since we understand that couriers may not be accepting high-volume delivery requests and may be unable to deliver to post office boxes. Electronic delivery can only be effected where shareholders have consented and provided e-mail addresses.
Given that a number of reporting issuers have scheduled meetings for annual matters in accordance with their corporate law or exchange requirements, and it is unclear when the postal suspension will end, the CSA is taking the extraordinary step of providing temporary relief from the requirement to deliver proxy-related materials for such meetings.
