Overview
The Instrument prescribes conditions for the use of a short form prospectus to distribute securities to the public. Central to the short form prospectus distribution system is the use of a short form prospectus which incorporates by reference, rather than restates, information contained in the issuer's annual information form ("AIF"), financial statements and other continuous disclosure. The system, and the more concise offering document, were designed to enable qualifying issuers to respond more quickly to market opportunities without diminishing the information and protection available to investors.
