Media advisory: CSA announces exemptions from filing requirements during switch to System of Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval+ (SEDAR+)

Vancouver – Members of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) are announcing exemptions https://docs.mbsecurities.ca/msc/proc/en/item/521074/index.do from certain filing requirements to address the brief period when  the System of Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) will be switched to a new centralized system, SEDAR+.

Each CSA member will be issuing a substantially similar blanket order https://docs.mbsecurities.ca/msc/bo/en/item/521075/index.do, which will be in effect from June 9, 2023 until SEDAR+ becomes available (expected to be June 13, 2023), that will essentially provide an extension to file or deliver documents that are required to be transmitted through SEDAR+ during that time. It will also provide filers with a means to transmit a document in exceptional circumstances where a filer chooses to file or deliver a document during this period.

The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada’s provinces and territories, co-ordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.
