Refilings and Errors List
On October 25, 2002, we introduced the Refilings and Errors List (the List) on the Commission's web site. The purpose of the List is to provide transparency to the market when, during a staff review, an issuer has amended its CD record, website or social media.
The List identifies issuers and investment funds with deficiencies identified during a staff review and that leads to Corrective Disclosure and will result in the issuer or investment fund being placed on the List. Please note that we will add the name of an issuer or investment fund to the List irrespective of whether the deficiency was identified by staff, by the issuer or investment fund or their advisors during the review process. We will also add the issuer or investment fund to the List regardless of whether the Commission ordered the filing or refiling, or the issuer or investment fund took this step voluntarily.
An issuer or investment fund’s name will be kept on the List for a period of three years from the date the Corrective Disclosure is made to the Continuous Disclosure record or website, or on social media. After the three-year period, the issuer or investment fund’s name will be archived.
For additional information and examples regarding Corrective Disclosure, please refer to OSC Staff Notice 51-711 (Revised) Refilings and Corrections of Errors
