Ontario Securities Commission
Amendments to National Instrument 44-102 Shelf Distributions
On November 18, 2020, amendments to the following rule came into force under the Securities Act:
- National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations sets out the significance tests to determine when a reporting issuer that is not an investment fund is required to file a business acquisition report after completing the acquisition of a business.
The amendments to National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations alter the determination of significance for reporting issuers that are not venture issuers such that an acquisition of a business or related businesses is a significant acquisition only if at least two of the existing significance tests are triggered. The amendments also increase the threshold of the significance tests for reporting issuers that are not venture issuers from 20% to 30%.
The full text of the amendments is available in the Ontario Securities Commission’s Bulletin at (2020), 43 OSCB 8797 and on the Commission’s web site at www.osc.gov.on.ca.
