The regulator amends Regulation 41-101 to redefine IPO venture issuers by excluding those listing on Cboe Canada Inc. and establishing a new CSE senior tier classification. The amendments introduce a Cboe personal information form and update disclosure requirements in Form 41-101F1 to reflect these changes in listing status. This regulation comes into force on September 19, 2025, with specific provisions for Saskatchewan regarding the filing date.
