CSA announces updated exemptions from filing requirements during switch to System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval+ (SEDAR+)

Each CSA member will be issuing a substantially similar blanket order, which will be in effect during the cutover period when neither SEDAR nor SEDAR+ will be available to receive documents.

The exemptions will come into effect July 21, 2023 and will expire when SEDAR+ launches, expected at 7 a.m. Eastern time on July 25, 2023. The exemptions are substantially the same as the previously announced cutover exemptions that were revoked after the launch of SEDAR+ was deferred.

The exemptions will essentially provide an extension to file or deliver documents that are required to be transmitted through SEDAR+ during that time. The exemptions also will 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.

More information is available in CSA Notice regarding Coordinated Blanket Order13-932 Exemptions from certain filing requirements in connection with the launch of the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval +.

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