Women on boards roundtable
Roundtable to discuss issues identified in a review of the disclosure of over 700 TSX-listed issuers with year-ends between December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 following the implementation of amendments to National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (the Rule Amendments). The Rule Amendments follow a “comply or explain” model and require all non-venture issues to make certain disclosures with respect to women on boards and in executive officer positions on an annual basis.
The event will include an overview of findings from staff’s review as well as panel discussions with commentary on the specific results and insights on how additional progress can be made. The panel discussions will reflect a diversity of views, so as to facilitate a balanced debate.
The OSC expects to provide additional details, including the final agenda and list of panellists, no later than September 22, 2015.
Any interested parties wishing to attend the roundtable are asked to send an email with full contact details to: [email protected]. Space is limited. It is expected that a transcript will be posted to the OSC website following completion of the roundtable.
Any media interested in attending the roundtable should contact [email protected] to register.
