Form F-10 (17 CFR 239.40) is a registration statement available for use by certain Canadian foreign private issuers. The purpose of this information collection is to encourage cross-border offerings, permit verification of compliance with securities law requirements, and assure the public availability of such information.
A Form F-10 registrant must comply with disclosure requirements of the appropriate Canadian securities administrator together with specified disclosure items on Form F-10. The disclosure items of Form F-10, combined with the disclosure that has already been approved by a Canadian securities commission, reflect the Commissionâs experience and best judgment as to information regarding an issuer and the offering that should be required to be disclosed to prospective investors.
The principal function of the Commissionâs forms and rules under the securities lawsâ disclosure provisions is to make information available to investors. The information on
Form F-10 can be used by security holders, investors and others in evaluating securities and making investment decisions with respect to such securities.
The decrease in estimated annual burden hours of 189 hours is due to a decrease in the estimated number of annual Form F-10 responses (from 77 to 52). The increase in cost burden of $8,682 is due to an increase in the Commissionâs estimate of the cost to issuers of outside professionals (from $400 per hour to $600 per hour), which is partially offset by the decrease in the estimated number of annual responses.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
