THE CRITICAL INVESTOR

SEDAR is the electronic system for the official filing of documents by public companies and investment funds across Canada. It can be found at www.sedar.com. Its purpose is to:

• facilitate electronic filing of securities information as required by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada;
• allow for the public dissemination of securities information filed by public companies and investment funds; and
• provide electronic communication between electronic filers, agents and the Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

SEDAR provides access to documents filed by public companies, investment funds and certain third-party filers. All Canadian public companies and investment funds must file their documents through SEDAR. Foreign companies should file a notice of election before filing documents through SEDAR. In addition, some third parties who are involved in public company transactions, such as take-over bids, may be required to file appropriate documents through SEDAR.
