Form 45-106F1 Report of Exempt Distribution

 

A.General Instructions

 

1.Filing instructions

 

An issuer or underwriter that is required to file a report of exempt distribution and pay the applicable fee must file the report and pay the fee as follows:

 

In British Columbia – through BCSC eServices at http://www.bcsc.bc.ca.
In Ontario – through the online e-form available at http://www.osc.gov.on.ca.
In all other jurisdictions – through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) in accordance with National Instrument 13-101 System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) if required, or otherwise with the securities regulatory authority or regulator, as applicable, in the applicable jurisdictions at the addresses listed at the end of this form.

 

The issuer or underwriter must file the report in a jurisdiction of Canada if the distribution occurs in the jurisdiction, and the issuer or underwriter is relying on a specific exemption from the prospectus requirement set out in section 6.1 of the Instrument. The requirement to file this report might also be a condition of a prospectus exemption provided in a national, multilateral or local rule or instrument, or a condition of an exemptive relief order. If a distribution is made in more than one jurisdiction of Canada, the issuer or underwriter may satisfy its obligation to file the report by completing a single report identifying all purchasers, and file the report in each jurisdiction of Canada in which the distribution occurs. Filing fees payable in a particular jurisdiction are not affected by identifying all purchasers in a single report.

 

In order to determine the applicable fee in a particular jurisdiction of Canada, consult the securities legislation of that jurisdiction.

 

2.Issuers located outside of Canada

 

If an issuer located outside of Canada determines that a distribution has taken place in a jurisdiction of Canada, include information about purchasers resident in that jurisdiction only.

 

3.Multiple distributions

 

An issuer may use one report for multiple distributions occurring within 10 days of each other, provided the report is filed on or before the 10th day following the first distribution date. However, an investment fund issuer that is relying on the exemptions set out in subsection 6.2(2) of NI 45-106 may file the report annually in accordance with that subsection.

 

4.References to purchaser

 

References to a purchaser in this form are to the beneficial owner of the securities.

 

However, if a trust company, trust corporation, or registered adviser described in paragraph (p) or (q) of the definition of “accredited investor” in section 1.1 of NI 45-106 has purchased the securities on behalf of a fully managed account, provide information about the trust company, trust corporation or registered adviser only; do not include information about the beneficial owner of the fully managed account.

 

Joint purchasers may be treated as one purchaser for the purposes of Item 7(f) of this form.

 

5.References to issuer

 

References to “issuer” in this form include an investment fund issuer and a non-investment fund issuer, unless otherwise specified.

 

6.Investment fund issuers

 

If the issuer is an investment fund, complete Items 1-3, 6-8, 10, 11 and Schedule 1 of this form.

 

7.Mortgage investment entities

 

If the issuer is a mortgage investment entity, complete all applicable items of this form other than Item 6.

 

 

 

8.Language

 

The report must be filed in English or in French. In Québec, the issuer or underwriter must comply with linguistic rights and obligations prescribed by Québec law.

 

9.Currency

 

All dollar amounts in the report must be in Canadian dollars. If the distribution was made or any compensation was paid in connection with the distribution in a foreign currency, convert the currency to Canadian dollars using the daily exchange rate of the Bank of Canada on the distribution date. If the distribution date occurs on a date when the daily exchange rate of the Bank of Canada is not available, convert the currency to Canadian dollars using the most recent daily exchange rate of the Bank of Canada available before the distribution date. For investment funds in continuous distribution, convert the currency to Canadian dollars using the average daily exchange rate of the Bank of Canada for the distribution period covered by the report.

 

If the distribution was not made in Canadian dollars, provide the foreign currency in Item 7(a) of the report.

 

10.Date of information in report

 

Unless otherwise indicated in this form, provide the information as of the distribution end date.

 

11.Date of formation

 

For the date of formation, provide the date on which the issuer was incorporated, continued or organized (formed). If the issuer resulted from an amalgamation, arrangement, merger or reorganization, provide the date of the most recent amalgamation, arrangement, merger or reorganization.
