Amendments Related to the Senior Tier of the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Cboe Canada Inc. and AQSE Growth Market Name Changes, and Majority Voting Form of Proxy Requirements

On September 19, 2025, amendments to the following rules and policies came into force:

• National Instrument 41-101 General Prospectus Requirements
• National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions
• National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions
• National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
• Multilateral Instrument 51-105 Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets
• National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings
• National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees
• National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices
• Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
• National Instrument 62-104 Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids
• National Instrument 71-102 Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions Relating to Foreign Issuers
• National Instrument 81-101 Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure
• OSC Rule 45-501 Ontario Prospectus and Registration Exemptions
• OSC Rule 56-501 Restricted Shares
• Companion Policy 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions
• National Policy 46-201 Escrow for Initial Public Offerings

Also, on September 19, 2025 the following OSC Rule was repealed:

• OSC Rule 55-502 Facsimile Filing or Delivery of Inside Reports (OSC Rule 55-502)

The amendments address several matters, including the creation of a Senior Tier by the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) that is intended for non-venture issuers, with requirements that align with a non-venture exchange.

The amendments also:

• Revise the definition of “venture issuer” to exclude CSE Senior Tier issuers and allow them to be treated the same way under securities legislation as issuers listed on other non-venture exchanges.
• Expand certain exemptions and eligibility requirements to include the CSE, so that they apply to that exchange in the same manner as for other non-venture exchanges.
• Codify the January 31, 2023 blanket orders issued by members of the Canadian Securities Administrators that exempt reporting issuers incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act from the requirement regarding the voting options on the proxy form in uncontested director elections.
• Reflect the name change of the former Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc. to Cboe Canada Inc.
• Reflect the name change of the former PLUS markets to AQSE Growth Market.
• Remove the requirement for escrow agreements required under securities legislation to be signed, sealed and delivered by securityholders in the presence of a witness.

OSC Rule 55-502 was repealed because it applied to reports required to be filed under section 109 of the Securities Act (Ontario), which section was repealed in 2019.

The full text of the amendments is available in the OSC's Bulletin at (2025) 48 OSCB 7499 and on the OSC website at www.osc.ca.
