Filing Burden for Canadian Tender Bidders
If you are a bidder making a cash tender or exchange offer for securities of a Canadian issuer that is a foreign private issuer where less than 40% of the subject class is held by U.S. holders, you may use Schedule 14D-1F. The SEC estimates the form takes about 3.5 hours to prepare, is filed by about 2 bidders per year, for a total annual burden of 7 hours, with 100% of that burden carried internally and no estimated dollar cost.
Public Access to Tender Offer Information
The information filed on Schedule 14D-1F is mandatory and is made publicly available on the SEC's EDGAR system so security holders can get material information about bidders and transactions to make informed investment decisions.
