Form F-8 - Registration Statement

Form F-8 (17 CFR 239.38) is one of several forms for registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) available to Canadian foreign private issuers under the multijurisdictional disclosure system. Form F-8 is used for Securities Act registration of two types of transactions: (1) exchange offers and (2) business combinations requiring the vote of shareholders of the participating companies. Canadian issuers using Form F-8 file Canadian disclosure documents under cover of the form and provide indemnification disclosure and certain legends and exhibits. The simplified nature of Form F-8 disclosure promotes capital formation with less expense and greater efficiency and encourages Canadian issuers to extend exchange offers and business combinations to U.S. securityholders. The purpose of the Form F-8 information collection is to provide investors with information important to investment decisions while also promoting capital formation by reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of Securities Act registration in connection with certain exchange offers and business combination transactions, which may encourage Canadian issuers to extend exchange offers and business combinations to U.S. securityholders. In addition, this information is used by broker-dealers, investment banking firms, professional securities analysts, and others in evaluating securities and advising on investment decision making.
