national instrument 62-103regulatory
National Instrument 62-103 is a Canadian securities rule that requires public disclosure when someone builds a large ownership stake or launches a takeover attempt for a company’s shares. Think of it as a neighborhood rule that forces anyone buying a big slice of a pie to put up a sign so neighbors know a change of ownership might be coming. For investors it matters because these filings signal potential shifts in control, can move the stock price, and trigger other regulatory steps that affect trading and governance.
early warning reportregulatory
An early warning report is a regulatory filing that publicly discloses when an investor or insider has taken a large or potentially influential position in a company's shares or plans significant actions with those shares. It matters to investors because it flags possible shifts in control, takeover attempts, or concentrated influence—like a neighborhood notice that someone is buying several houses on the block—helping readers reassess risk, valuation, and trading strategy.
chess depository interestsfinancial
CHESS depository interests are tradable certificates on the Australian market that represent ownership of underlying foreign or non-Australian shares held by a custodian, while the actual shares remain registered overseas. They let local investors buy, sell and receive entitlements from those overseas securities as if they were domestic shares — like holding a parking pass for a car kept in another city — and matter because they simplify trading, settlement and dividend access.
convertible notesfinancial
Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.
debenturesfinancial
A debenture is a company’s long-term IOU sold to investors that promises regular interest payments and repayment of principal at a set date; unlike equity, it represents debt rather than ownership. Think of it like lending money to a business in exchange for a fixed stream of payments, so investors watch a debenture’s interest rate and the borrower’s financial health to judge income reliability and risk of not being repaid.

It gives investors a single, searchable place — like a public library or online filing cabinet — to check a company’s official records for transparency, compare performance, and verify material information before making investment decisions.
