Exempt Financing 

In certain situations, it may not be necessary for a company to prepare a prospectus to raise capital. Where appropriate, a company can rely on an exemption from the prospectus requirements, financing through what is called a private placement. The majority of financings carried out in the Alberta market are through private placements. Read more about commonly used exemptions.

A report of exempt distribution must be filed within 10 days of the trade. A set of conditions called "resale rules" apply to private placements, which can include a hold period on the securities.

Note: In September 2005, Form 45-103F4 was replaced by Form 45-106F1 - Report of Exempt Distribution. (Previously, Form 45-103F4 replaced the Form 20 in June 2003).

Our website is updated every Friday afternoon to reflect any Exempt Financing transactions filed with us.  During the update, full searching abilities may not be available.   

You are viewing Exempt Financing transactions in a new format.  Click here to view transactions which are reported in the previous format.  Whether you find a transaction in the new format or in the old format depends on when the filing was received by the ASC and when it was entered into our system.  A particular Exempt Financing transaction may be found in either the new format or in the old format, but not both.  For a complete listing of all Exempt Financing transactions, please review transactions in both formats.
