Notice - Over-allotment Options and Bought Deals - Exemptive Relief No Longer Necessary: CSA Staff Notice - 47-302 - Pre-Marketing of Underwriters' Options on Bought Deals

On May 24, 2006, we posted a notice relating to certain requests for relief for any pre-marketing associated with securities underlying post-closing over allotment options. Effective September 6, 2006, such relief should no longer be necessary because of the coming into force of the Ontario Amendment Instrument Amending National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions.
