June 30, 2015 - The members of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the CSA), except for the Ontario Securities Commission and the British Columbia Securities Commission, are publishing for a 60-day comment period proposed amendments to National Instrument 13-101 System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) and Multilateral Instrument 13-102 System Fees for SEDAR and NRD (the proposed amendments).

The proposed amendments would require the following documents, which exist or are proposed under prospectus exemptions, to be filed in electronic format on SEDAR in accordance with NI 13-101 in the participating jurisdictions:

Form 45-106F1 Report of Exempt Distribution;
the offering memorandum and any other document, such as financial statements or marketing materials, that may be required in the future to be filed or delivered under section 2.9 [Offering memorandum] of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions;

in Québec, any disclosure document delivered to subscribers under section 37.2 of the Securities Regulation (Québec).

The proposed amendments would also impose a SEDAR system fee of $25 per filing of a report of exempt distribution prepared in accordance with either Form 45-106F1 Report of Exempt Distributionor Form 5 – Start-up Crowdfunding – Report of Exempt Distribution. This fee would be in addition to any filing fee required in the participating jurisdictions.
