Insider Report for Warrants

Filing Process for Warrants

You must report warrants as a separate class of security. You must also report different classes of warrants as a separate class of security, for example Class A and B warrants. Do not aggregate special warrants with other warrants.

You report warrant holdings and transactions in the same manner as you would issuer options. The only significant differences relate to the date, the nature codes and price disclosure.

You acquire or dispose of warrants in a number of circumstances, for example:

  • a grant of warrants (code 53)
  • an exercise of warrants (code 54)
  • an expiration of warrants (code 55)
  • an exercise for cash (code 59)
  • through redemption, retraction, cancellation, repurchase (code 38)
  • a stock split or consolidation (code 37)
  • in the public market (code 10)
  • through a prospectus offering (code 15)
  • under a prospectus exemption (code 16)
  • by any other private transaction (code 11) or private placement (code 11 or 16)

 

Note: An exercise of  warrants requires two transactions, both using code 54, to record the disposition of the warrants and the acquisition of the underlying security itself (i.e. common shares, trust units, etc.). If the underlying security was subsequently sold, then a third transaction would be required (code 10 if in the market or code 11 if carried out privately).

Enter the Equivalent number or value of underlying securities acquired or disposed of in the space directly below the number or value of securities or contracts acquired or disposed of

For a grant of warrants check Not Applicable beside the Unit price or exercise price field if you did not pay anything when granted the warrants.

 

Enter the price in the Conversion or Exercise price field and use the drop-down box to choose a Currency

 

For an exercise of warrants record the price in the Unit price or exercise price field for the disposition of the warrants and check Not Applicable beside the Conversion or exercise price field.

If the insider acquired a security upon exercising the warrants, also record the price in the space beside Unit price or exercise price when reporting the acquisition of such security. Exercise price refers to the amount the insider will pay when they exercise the warrants.

 

 

Enter the price in the Unit price or exercise price field and use the drop-down box to choose a Currency


Note:
The Canadian dollar (CAD) is the default value
. If there is no price involved, select the Not Applicable checkbox beside the appropriate field.
