Canadian securities regulators expect to provide temporary relief from requirements for delivering proxy-related materials in event of postal suspension Français
The terms of any relief are expected to be substantially similar to the relief provided by the CSA on December 4, 2024, under Coordinated Blanket Order 51-931 Temporary Exemption from requirements in National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations and National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer to send certain proxy-related materials during a postal strike. Reporting issuers should carefully review all the conditions and requirements in the coordinated blanket order.
Any exemption will address requirements under securities legislation only and will not extend to delivery obligations under corporate law. The CSA continues to expect that reporting issuers, intermediaries and all other parties involved in the proxy-voting process will work collaboratively during the postal service suspension and take all reasonable steps to facilitate the voting process. This includes using alternate delivery methods where available and taking other measures to increase transparency to shareholders regarding how to access proxy materials, obtain individual control numbers and vote. Reporting issuers or shareholders who have questions should contact their local securities regulator.
The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada's provinces and territories, co-ordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.
