The exemptive relief granted to Stingray Group Inc. is positive for the company as it removes potential barriers for non-Canadian investors, which could lead to increased demand for its shares and improved liquidity. This action also sets a precedent for other Canadian companies with similar dual-class share structures, potentially streamlining foreign investment into the Canadian market.
Stingray Group Inc. announced it has received an exemption from Canadian securities regulatory authorities. This exemption allows Stingray Group Inc.'s subordinate voting shares and variable subordinate voting shares to be treated as a single class for certain purposes, including take-over bid and early warning reporting requirements under Canadian securities laws. The company applied for this relief to facilitate investment in its variable subordinate voting shares by non-Canadians, addressing complexities arising from its dual-class share structure implemented to comply with the Canadian ownership rules under the Broadcasting. The decision is expected to make it easier for non-Canadian investors to acquire Stingray Group Inc. shares without inadvertently triggering regulatory requirements.
