Amend Security Designation or Ownership Type


Note You can only amend the security designation not the security category. In SEDI a security category and a security designation must be chosen when setting up a new security in the list of outstanding securities for the issuer.

A security Category is one of :

  • equity
  • debt or
  • derivatives
A security designation can be many things, such as common shares, options, convertible debentures or preferred shares.


Ownership Types A description of the three ownership types follow:

Type
Description
Direct You can hold securities directly. For example, you can hold the securities in an account with your broker, but the account is in your name.


Indirect You can hold the securities indirectly. For example, you beneficially own common shares in X Co. but the registered owner is another entity such as a holding company, an RRSP or a family trust.
Control or Direction ou have control or direction over the securities if you, directly or indirectly, through any contact, arrangement, understanding or relationship or otherwise have or share:

  • voting power, or
  • investment power.
This would include having control or direction over the securities through a power of attorney, a grant of limited trading authority, or management agreement.

For example, you set up a trust for your children in which Co. X securities are held. Because of your relationship with your minor children, you need to report your children's holdings, because you could direct your children to purchase or sell those securities. This may also be the case if your spouse (or any other person related to you) owns the securities, but you have control or direction over those securities.
