Please join us on May 4, 2021 for a free virtual webinar as we dig deeper into the small business financing initiatives the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) recently announced. These financing exemptions are part of the ASC’s efforts to support early-stage and small businesses in their capital raising efforts, within our mandate of protecting investors and fostering a fair and efficient capital market.

More information about the new and proposed exemptions is available here:

New

• Self-certified investor prospectus exemption

Proposed

• Small business financing prospectus exemption

• Small business finder’s exemption

During the webinar, ASC staff will outline the major conditions to each of these exemptions and the issues they are intended to address. Industry experts Sandi Gilbert, CEO, InterGen and Dealpoint and former Chair of the National Angel Capital Organization and Phil du Heaume, private capital markets lawyer and executive with the Private Capital Markets Association will provide their thoughts on how these exemptions can be used by start-up and other small business entrepreneurs.

Webinar participants will have the opportunity to submit questions and we hope the webinar will elicit feedback from participants on the two proposed exemptions.

Attending the event is free and the Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
