OSC approves amendments to MFDA minimum capital requirements
The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) announced today that it has approved amendments to MFDA Rule 3.1.1, intended to harmonize the MFDA's minimum capital requirements with those under National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements and Exemptions, as well as amendments to Form 1 - Financial Questionnaire and Report. The amendments, which were also approved by various other jurisdictions, are conditional on the MFDA submitting proposed amendments to Form 1 to include a definition of "market value" of securities to regulators for review and approval by March 31, 2011.
