The Ontario Securities Commission is calling for a risk disclosure statement in the marketing of penny stocks.
Effective June 1, such a statement will be provided (except in specified circumstances) to each potential investor prior to the first trade. Also, a written suitability statement must be obtained from each investor before a transaction.
A securities dealer selling penny stocks must calculate his markup based on the prevailing market price and not the dealer’s average cost.
