1. Part E.1 of Policy 6.1 provides for additional situations when the OSC will allow question 4(b) to be completed in addition to those set out in the Form 20.In addition, E.1 contemplates that, if the conditions for completing question 4(b) exist and this question is completed, the Commission will not make the Form 20available for public inspection and will not publish in the OSC Bulletin names and addresses of the purchasers of the securities. Form 45-501F1 has been revisedto provide that the name and address of the purchaser is only required to be disclosed if the information is requested by staff at the Commission or a purchaser ofsecurities under the exemption in clause 72(1)(p) of the Act or section 2.4 of the Rule. However, it is proposed that 45-501FI would be available for publicinspection under the Act. Subsection 140(2) of the Act allows the Commission to hold material or a class of material required to be filed by the Act in confidenceprovided that the Commission is of the opinion that certain conditions are met. It is considered that the blanket form of confidentiality provided by Policy 6.1 isnot appropriate as the Commission is of the view that it is required to exercise its discretion under subsection 140(2) on a case by case basis. Similarly, in achange from Policy 6.1, Form 45-501F2 (formerly Form 21) will be available for public inspection, unless a specific request for confidentiality is made and theCommission exercises its discretion under subsection 140(2) of the Act.
