Compliance Time and Professional Cost Burden

Form F-80 Keeps Investor Disclosures
If you invest in U.S.-traded Canadian securities, Form F-80 will continue to require material information about the registered securities and the Canadian issuer to be made public on EDGAR so you can make informed voting and investment decisions. The form is mandatory for the types of exchange offers and business combinations described and is filed by about 4 respondents annually.
