Abstract:
Form F-7 (17 CFR 239.37) is a registration form under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) pertaining to Canadian issuers under the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System. Form F-7 is used for the registration of securities offered for cash upon the exercise of rights to purchase or subscribe for such securities granted to existing security holders of the registrant. Form F-7 is available to any registrant that is incorporated or organized under the laws of Canada or any Canadian province or territory, is a foreign private issuer, has had a class of securities listed on a designated Canadian exchange for the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the filing of this Form, has been subject to the continuous disclosure requirements of any securities commission or equivalent regulatory authority in Canada for a period of at least 36 calendar months immediately preceding the filing of this Form, and is currently in compliance with the obligations arising from such listing and reporting. This Form is designed to facilitate cross-border transactions by eligible Canadian issuers. The disclosure items of Form F-7 reflect the Commission’s experience and best judgment as to information regarding an issuer and the offering that should be required to be disclosed to prospective investors. The information collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors in connection with securities offerings. The information on Form F-7 is used by security holders, investors, broker-dealers, investment banking firms, professional securities analysts, and others in evaluating securities and when making investment decisions with respect to such securities. Also, all investors benefit indirectly from submissions on Form F-7, as direct users effect transactions in securities on the basis of current information about the issuer’s business and operations included in such filings, thereby causing the market prices of the securities to reflect such information.
