The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed amendments to the rules governing beneficial ownership reporting under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act (Exchange Act).
Similar to the early warning reporting and alternative monthly reporting filings required to be made under Canadian securities laws, Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G filings provide transparency to the market that an investor, or group of investors, has accumulated or holds a significant stake in the voting equity securities of any domestic or foreign issuer that has securities listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or otherwise has a class of equity securities registered under section 12 of the Exchange Act (a U.S. reporting company). Canadian reporting issuers that are also U.S. reporting companies, including Canadian companies relying on the multijurisdictional disclosure system (MJDS), are subject to both the Canadian and U.S. regimes and would be affected by the SEC's proposed amendments, if adopted.
