Draft Regulation to amend Regulation 45-106 respecting Prospectus Exemptions

The regulator issued a draft regulation to amend Regulation 45-106 respecting Prospectus Exemptions by replacing the definition of "designated rating" with a reference to Regulation 81-102 respecting Investment Funds. This change aligns the terminology across securities regulations to ensure consistency in how credit ratings are defined for prospectus exemption purposes. The amendment is scheduled to come into force on January 5, 2022, with a specific provision allowing Saskatchewan to delay implementation until the regulation is filed with the Registrar of Regulations if that occurs after the initial date.
