The Ontario Securities Commission, Québec's Autorité des marchés financiers and France's Autorité des marchés financiers have entered into an agreement to support initial cross-listings of securities on an exchange in Canada and France by prospectus. The arrangement creates a new collaborative procedure intended to facilitate regulator-to-regulator dialogue and information sharing during the prospectus review process. The agreement applies to Canadian and French companies seeking to cross-list in the other jurisdiction by way of a prospectus and requires compliance with each country’s regulatory requirements as well as applicable exchange requirements. It does not provide regulatory relief, but is intended to provide issuers with increased support and assistance from the three regulators throughout the prospectus review process.
