File an Opening Balance on Initial Report
| Requirement |
An initial report recording the opening balance of securities held for each type of security as well as each type of ownership is required to be completed prior to posting any transactions on SEDI.
SEDI will take the insider or the agent through the process of setting up the initial opening balance for each type of ownership or security that doesn't already have an opening balance report.
The Nature Code "00" and the opening balance date will be supplied by SEDI. The date is pulled from the insider profile.
The balance of securities should be the balance the insider held as of their opening balance date (It may be the balance on their last paper filing if they were an insider prior to June 9, 2003) or their holdings on the date they became an insider. |
