FYI - hope this helps

Because this report is considered a "position" report of your holdings, SEDI will automatically complete the "Nature of transaction" field as Opening balance - Initial SEDI report (Code 00).

An initial SEDI report is an insider report filed in either of the following situations:

• You have become an insider and this report is your first time filing an insider report

• If, with respect to a particular issuer, this report is the first time you are filing in SEDI for this security and registered holder.

For either of these situations, you must complete and file a report of your securities holdings in the issuer as a report of your opening balance for the securities holdings. This report is a statement of your position in the holdings rather than a report of any transaction in the securities of the issuer.

When you are filing your initial report, SEDI will automatically indicate in the "Opening/initial balance date" field the following information entered in your insider profile, as appropriate:

• the date you became an insider, or

• the opening balance date.

The Opening/initial balance date will be used for all your opening balances for the issuer. This date should be prior to the date of any transactions that you will report for this issuer in SEDI.

SEDI reads and extracts this information from the relevant entries you previously made on your insider profile.
