The French Financial Markets Authority has concluded an agreement with the Quebec Financial Markets Authority and the Ontario Securities Commission to support the initial cross-listing of securities on an exchange in France and Canada using a prospectus, by setting up enhanced cooperation to facilitate regulator-to-regulator dialogue and information exchange. Under the agreement, Canadian and French issuers seeking a cross-listing through a prospectus must comply with the regulatory obligations of both countries and the applicable exchange rules. The arrangement does not provide regulatory relief, but it is designed to increase the support and assistance available from the three authorities throughout the prospectus review process.
