CSA adopts expedited shelf prospectus regime for well-known seasoned issuers

"On September 21, 2023, the CSA published amendments to National Instrument 44-102 Shelf Distributions for a 90-day comment period. The amendments aim to enhance competitiveness by reducing regulatory burden for eligible issuers. These changes allow WKSIs to file a final base shelf prospectus without a preliminary one and omit certain disclosure, enabling them to raise capital more efficiently in Canada. "
