Are foreign issuers required to make their exempt market offerings and disclosure filings on SEDAR+?
Yes, foreign issuers, including issuers that used to meet the definition of ‘foreign issuer (SEDAR)’ under National Instrument 13-101 System for Electronic Document Retrieval and Analysis, are required to make their exempt market offerings and disclosure filings and pay the associated fees through SEDAR+.
When filing in SEDAR+ a Form 45-106F1 Report of Exempt Distribution for a distribution of securities of a foreign issuer that does not have a SEDAR+ profile, the filer should reach out to the foreign issuer to create a SEDAR+ profile, if possible.
If not possible, the filer should contact the CSA Service Desk to request that a SEDAR+ profile for the foreign issuer be created. The CSA Service Desk team members will request the information needed to create the profile.
