Request for Comments by July 26: BCSC tackles stock promotions with proposal for greater disclosure
BCSC | Release | May 26, 2021
VANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2021 /CNW/ - Promotions of companies with a connection to British Columbia would become more transparent under new rules proposed by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC).
The disclosure requirements, being published for a 60-day comment period, would enable people to better evaluate the reliability of statements that encourage investment in issuers of securities, often made with the aim of driving up an issuer's share price.
"People should know if someone promoting a stock has a financial or other interest, because that would help them decide how much weight to give the promotion and make better informed investment decisions," said Peter Brady, the BCSC's Executive Director.
The rules would apply to newsletters, financial blogs, emails, oral statements, social media posts, videos or any other communications, in any platform or medium, and would require promotional communications to disclose:
- The name of the issuer on whose behalf the promotion is being conducted
- Compensation being paid for the promotion
- Whether the person conducting the promotion owns securities or derivatives related to the issuer
- Where the promotion is taking place
- Any other facts that would interfere with the objectivity of the person doing the promotion
The proposed requirements – the first of their kind in Canada – stem from Securities Act amendments that give the BCSC greater power to regulate promotional activity, which is sometimes conducted by issuers, by shareholders, and by third parties. The BCSC can now regulate promotional activity regardless of who is actually conducting it.
See: GameStop Testimony: When Short Sellers, Social Media, and Retail Investors Collide
The new requirements would apply to all promotional activity that occurs in – or has a real or substantial connection to – B.C., with certain exceptions.
The BCSC is also proposing a couple of other requirements for venture issuers, as defined in the proposed B.C. Instrument:
- A venture issuer that outsources promotions would have to issue a news release specifying who it retained, the platforms on which the promotion will appear, and the compensation paid for the promotion. If a significant change occurs to any of this information, the issuer would have to issue an updated news release.
- A venture issuer with promotional activity exceeding 10 per cent of its total operating expenses in a year (or interim period) would have to disclose those expenditures in its interim and annual reports.
"Some companies have a legitimate need to engage in promotional activities and they should have no trouble complying with the proposed rules," Brady said. "But abusive stock promotions are a scourge that go hand in hand with abusive trading, and the new rules would give us one more tool to tackle them."
The BCSC is seeking comments on the proposed rules by July 26, 2021.

Liquid Avatar Launches KABN Prepaid Visa Card and Mobile Card App in Canada
Liquid Avatar Technologies | Cara Buckspan | Apr 26, 2021
Company completes the next phase of its fintech corporate development with the integration of traditional and mobile payment solutions.
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 26, 2021 / Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID)(OTC PINK:TRWRF)(FRA:4T51) ("Liquid Avatar Technologies" or the "Company") a global blockchain, digital identity and fintech solutions company, is excited to announced that it has launched the KABN Prepaid Visa Card in Canada, powered by the XTM Inc.

In turn, validated users are qualified, subject to permissions and necessary approvals, for unique and customized financial services other value-based opportunities via KABN KASH.
According to Prepaid Cards Canada (Payments Canada 2020) Canadian Payments: Methods and Trends 2020, in 2019, prepaid cards, either plastic or virtual, grew significantly at the Point of Sale ("POS") with respectively, an 8% increase in volume and a 6% increase in value.
Nearly one in five Canadians either purchased or received at least one prepaid card per month. Young adults, those aged 18 to 34, and unbanked Canadians are the most common users of prepaid payments products. This is driven by a lack of access and acceptance of traditional banking products and services. Prepaid cards are starting to be used by a wider base, as those who seek security and identity protection for purchases have turned to prepaid cards as an alternative to cash. As prepaid cards are not directly linked to user account information, they offer an electronic method of payment that carries many of the benefits of cash.
A recent study found that 70 per cent of Canadians are more concerned about fraud today than they were five years ago, which can drive more consumers towards prepaid cards to minimize the risks that come with sharing financial information online or using cards directly linked to banking accounts. The use of prepaid cards has been accelerated by emerging e-commerce and mobile payments trends. Prepaid cards accounted for 10 per cent of e-commerce payments in 2019.
See: Digital Payments in America – Scaling the Peak
Canadians were three times more likely to use a prepaid payment for e-commerce than they were at physical POS merchant locations. The growing use of mobile payments also plays a significant role in accelerating prepaid card use. In 2019, 80 per cent of prepaid POS purchases were made using closed-loop store cards, with a notable number of prepaid purchases being linked to mobile devices and virtual prepaid cards. Over a quarter of Canadians (28 per cent) used at least one prepaid virtual card. The use of prepaid cards at these establishments is directly linked with rewards and loyalty programs that drive consumer usage.
"The KABN Prepaid Visa Card will give Canadian users access to unique value programs helping to enhance their spending power wherever Visa is accepted, in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide," said Michael Konikoff, Chief Revenue Officer of Liquid Avatar Technologies. "We are excited to be launching this pivotal part of our fintech network and to be working with XTM to accelerate our joint business efforts in Canada."
"Liquid Avatar Technologies' unique business model creates opportunity to convert a growing number of qualified, authenticated users into active program participants," said Marilyn Schaffer, CEO, XTM. "We expect to see rapid growth of this dynamic user base throughout Canada."

Clean Energy Bitcoin Mining Joint Venture Agreement Signed by Link Global Technologies and Neptune Digital Assets
Neptune Digital Assets Corp. | Release | Apr 12, 2021
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEPTUNE DIGITAL ASSETS CORP. (“Neptune” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:NDA; OTC:NPPTF; FSE:1NW) is pleased to provide an update on its planned expansion into renewable energy Bitcoin (“BTC”) mining. The Company and LINK GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. (CSE: LNK; FRA: LGT; OTC: LGLOF) (“LINK”) have incorporated a joint venture company, Pure Digital Power Corp. (“Pure”), and in connection therewith, the Company, Link and Pure have entered into a shareholders’ agreement governing the management of Pure. Pure is a power and Bitcoin mining infrastructure company with an emphasis on clean sustainable energy.
See: Cryptocurrency and energy consumption debate
Through Pure, Neptune and Link have agreed to develop an initial 5 megawatt (“MW”) renewable energy dominated BTC mining facility in Alberta, with potential for expansion and scaling. Establishing Pure and entering into the corresponding shareholders agreement follows shortly after the March 19, 2021 announcement of the proposed joint venture between LINK and Neptune to develop a green energy facility. All BTC mined under Pure’s operation are expected to be held in the treasury for reinvestment and decentralized finance (defi) based earnings, similar to Neptune’s current approach to treasury and asset management.
Highlights:
- Pure is a joint venture company owned equally by LINK and Neptune — sharing equally in costs and crypto based revenues
- The first Pure site will be in Alberta, Canada where LINK operates the majority of its BTC mining operations
- The Pure site will be powered by clean energy sources — Solar, wind, and minimal natural gas
- Focused on development of a Pure carbon credit token or NFT
Neptune’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Cale Moodie, commented: “We are extremely excited with our second foray into Bitcoin mining with Link, and an environmentally sustainably focused operation at that. We see the future of Bitcoin mining to be an environmentally sustainable one and this flagship operation is likely to be the first of many facilities to be developed using green sources.”
See: Blockchain and the Future of Energy
Link’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Jenkins, also commented: “The creation of Pure is the perfect step in the evolution of Link. We have found a like-minded partner in Neptune who understands the value of green energy and sees the same business opportunity in creating a sustainable path for the energy requirements of BTC mining. The Pure 5 MW facility is only the beginning of what we expect will be an innovative and profitable relationship.”

ASC and FCAA adopt new prospectus exemption to support small business capital raising
ASC / FCAA | Denise Weeres | Apr 1, 2021
As part of our efforts to reduce regulatory burden, optimize securities regulation in an effort to foster capital formation, the ASC and the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) have adopted a new prospectus exemption. CSA Multilateral Notice of Implementation 45-538 Self-Certified Investor Prospectus Exemption is designed to provide greater access to capital for Alberta and Saskatchewan businesses and broaden investment opportunities for investors in both provinces.
The new prospectus exemption permits investors who certify to having certain financial and investment knowledge, and acknowledge that they understand certain investment considerations and risks, to invest alongside accredited investors, with certain restrictions.
This is the third initiative the ASC has undertaken recently to support small businesses in their capital raising efforts, while still prioritizing the protection of investors. The other two were published for comment last week.
The first, ASC Proposed Blanket Order 31-536 Alberta Small Business Finder’s Exemption, is a proposed new registration exemption for finders to help start-ups and small businesses that have not raised in aggregate more than $5 million under available prospectus exemptions.
The second, CSA Multilateral Notice and Request for Comment 45-539 Proposed Prospectus Exemption for Small Business Financing is designed to provide greater access to capital by start-ups and other small businesses in Alberta and Saskatchewan and broaden investment opportunities for investors.
Later in April the ASC will be hosting a webinar to discuss these initiatives and to encourage feedback on the two proposed exemptions. More information will be shared about this webinar once it is available.
