The Canadian Securities Administrators have told SEDI issuers, existing before May 30, that they must file an issuer profile supplement using the SEDI web site by May 30.

SEDI issuers are reporting issuers, other than mutual funds, that are required to file disclosure documents in electronic format through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval – essentially all Canadian public companies.

From Oct. 29, 2001 to Jan. 31, 2002, SEDI was operational, but was then suspended due to technical problems. However, data filed and collected on SEDI during this period is not available because of those problems.

Therefore, even those who registered as a SEDI user and filed an issuer profile supplement on SEDI during this period will have to register and file a current issuer profile supplement by May 30.

“We apologize for this inconvenience to SEDI issuers (or their agents) who registered and filed data on SEDI during this period,” said the CSA in notice 55-311.

SEDI issuers can now immediately begin registering and filing on SEDI. They must file an accurate and complete issuer profile supplement by May 30 so that, starting on June 9, their insiders can file accurate and timely insider trade reports on SEDI. Any issuer that becomes a SEDI issuer on or after May 30 will have three business days to file its SEDI issuer profile supplement.
