Authority under which the order is made:

Act and section: Securities Act, subsection 143.11(2)

 

Ontario Securities Commission

Ontario Instrument 45-506 Start-Up Crowdfunding Registration and Prospectus Exemptions (Interim Class Order) (the Order)

Background

1. Subsection 25(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario) (the Act) provides that, unless a person or company is exempt from the requirement in that subsection, the person or company shall not engage in or hold himself, herself or itself out as engaging in the business of trading in securities unless the person or company,

a) is registered in accordance with Ontario securities law as a dealer, or

b) is a representative registered in accordance with Ontario securities law as a dealing representative of a registered dealer and is acting on behalf of the registered dealer (the Registration Requirement).

2. A funding portal that trades in securities may be registered or rely on the exemption from the Registration Requirement in this Order or another exemption from the Registration Requirement under Ontario securities law.

3. Subsection 53(1) of the Act provides that no person or company shall trade in a security on his, her or its own account or on behalf of any other person or company if the trade would be a distribution of the security, unless a preliminary prospectus and a prospectus have been filed and receipts have been issued for them by the Director (the Prospectus Requirement).

4. Under subsection 143.11(2) of the Act, if the Ontario Securities Commission (the Commission) considers that it would not be prejudicial to the public interest to do so, the Commission may, on application by an interested person or company or on its own initiative, make an order exempting a class of persons or companies, trades, intended trades, securities or derivatives from any requirement of Ontario securities law on such terms or conditions as may be set out in the order, effective for a period of no longer than 18 months after the day on which it comes into force unless extended pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 143.11(3) of the Act.

5. On May 28, 2020, pursuant to subsection 143.11(2) of the Act, the Commission granted relief (the May Order) substantially similar to the relief from the Prospectus Requirement provided in this Order. However, because the May Order was granted upon application submitted by Silver Maple Ventures Inc. in respect of its funding portal known as "FrontFundr" (FrontFundr), the May Order is limited to distributions by issuers through FrontFundr only.

6. On February 27, 2020, the Commission published for comment Proposed National Instrument 45-110 Start-up Crowdfunding Registration and Prospectus Exemptions (the Proposed Instrument) and related materials. The comment period for the Proposed Instrument ended on July 13, 2020. This Order is intended to provide interim relief until such time as the Canadian Securities Administrators have had an opportunity to consider comments, finalize and, subject to Ministerial approval, implement the start-up crowdfunding regime contemplated in the Proposed Instrument.

7. In light of COVID-19 and having considered the interests of investors and the financing needs of early stage businesses and other small enterprises, the Commission is satisfied that, subject to the conditions of this Order, it would not be prejudicial to the public interest to provide, on an interim basis, exemptions from the Registration Requirement and the Prospectus Requirement to allow start-up crowdfunding distributions.
