The Enter transaction information screen opens

 

Click on the calendar icon to the right of the Date of transaction field to select and enter a date. To display a different month, click on the arrow to the far left or right of the current month title.  Click the down arrow to select a different month and year.  Alternatively, manually enter a numeric date into the field using the format YYYY-MM-DD (including hyphens).

 

Select a Nature of transaction code from the drop-down list box.

 

You acquire or dispose of options in a number of circumstances, for example:

  • a grant of options (code 50),

  • an exercise of options (code 51),

  • an expiration of options (code 52)

  • an exercise for cash (code 59)

  • through a redemption, retraction, cancellation, repurchase (code 38)

  • a split or consolidation (code 37)

  • in the public market (code 10)

  • through a prospectus offering (code 15)

  • under a prospectus exemption (code 16)

  • by any other private transaction (code 11)

 

Note: A typical exercise of options requires two transactions, both using code 51, to record the disposition of the options and the acquisition of the underlying security (i.e. common shares, trust units, etc.). If the underlying security was subsequently sold, then a third transaction would be required (code 10 if in the market or code 11 if carried out privately)

Enter the Number or value of securities or contracts acquired or disposed of

Enter the Equivalent number or value of underlying securities acquired or disposed of in the space directly below the Number or value of securities or contracts acquired or disposed of

For a grant of options check Not Applicable beside the Unit price or exercise price field, if you did not pay anything when granted the options.

 

Enter the price in the Conversion or Exercise price field and use the drop-down box to choose a Currency

 

For an exercise of options, record the price in the Unit price or exercise price field for the disposition of the options and check Not Applicable beside the Conversion or Exercise price field

 

If the insider acquired a security upon exercising the options, also record the price in the space beside Unit price or exercise price when reporting the acquisition of such security. Exercise price refers to the amount the insider will pay when they exercise the options.

 

Enter the price in the Unit price or exercise price field and use the drop-down box to choose a Currency

 

Note: The Canadian dollar (CAD) is the default value for the Conversion or Exercise price and the Unit price or exercise price fields. If there is no price involved, select the Not Applicable checkbox beside the appropriate field. If the currency involved in the transaction does not appear in the list, convert it to CAD and use the General remarks field to disclose the currency conversion details (e.g. the original currency and the original unit price or exercise price involved in the transaction with the conversion rate chosen and other details where appropriate).

 

Enter the option expiration date. Click on the calendar icon to the right of the Date of expiry or maturity field to select and enter a date. To display a different month, click on the arrow to the far left or right of the current month title.   Click the down arrow to select a different month and year.   Alternatively, manually enter a numeric date into the field using the format YYYY-MM-DD (including hyphens).
