SEDAR

SEDAR (the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval) is the system used for electronically filing most securities related information with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Filing with SEDAR started January 1, 1997, and is now mandatory for most reporting issuers in Canada.

These rules have been established by the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA"), and are carried out by each provincial securities regulatory authority. The CSA has appointed CSA INC. ("CDS") (a subsidiary of The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) as the filing service contractor for the SEDAR system. In that role, CSA administers and operates the system, provides assistance to the filing community, and works with both the regulators and the filers to plan future enhancements to the system.

The SEDAR system is an innovative link that enables industry to file securities documents and remit filing fees electronically -- saving time and money. The SEDAR system allows users to gain immediate and intelligent access to public company and mutual fund information in the public domain, and provides an important communications link among issuers, filers and the securities regulatory authorities.
