Amendments to Policy Statement to Regulation 51-105 respecting Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets
The securities regulators amend the Policy Statement to Regulation 51-105 to align with the phased implementation of the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval plus (SEDAR+). The amendments insert a new section requiring documents to be transmitted electronically through SEDAR+ for all jurisdictions except Québec, referencing Regulation 13-103. Additionally, Section 5 is updated to replace all instances of SEDAR with SEDAR+ to reflect the current system designation.

AMENDMENTS TO POLICY STATEMENT TO REGULATION 51-105 RESPECTING
ISSUERS QUOTED IN THE U.S. OVER-THE-COUNTER MARKETS
- Policy Statement to Regulation 51-105 respecting Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-theCounter Markets is amended by inserting, after section 1, the following:
“Electronic transmission
1.1. Regulation 13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and
Retrieval +(SEDAR+) (insert reference) prescribes that each document that is required or
permitted to be provided to a regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority
must be transmitted to the regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority
electronically through the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval +(SEDAR+).
The reference to a document includes any report, form, application, information,
material and notice, as well as a copy thereof, and applies to documents that are required or
permitted to be filed or deposited with, or delivered, furnished, sent, provided, submitted or
otherwise transmitted to, a regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority.
To reflect the phased implementation of SEDAR+, the Appendix of Regulation
13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval +(SEDAR+) sets out
securities legislation under which documents are excluded from being filed or delivered in
SEDAR+.
Regulation 13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and
Retrieval +(SEDAR+) should be consulted when providing any document to a regulator,
except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority under the Regulation and this Policy
Statement.”.
- Section 5 of the Policy Statement is amended by replacing “SEDAR”, wherever it appears,
by “SEDAR+”.
