  • Changes in Share Capital
  • Changes in Management
  • Changes in Financial Results
  • Changes in Business Operations (including drill/exploration results)
  • Acquisitions and Dispositions
  • Changes in Credit Arrangements

DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL INFORMATION

Disclosure of all material information to the investment community shall be in compliance with all applicable securities laws, regulations and rules and shall adhere to the following basic disclosure principles:

  1. Material information shall be publicly disclosed immediately via media release through a recognized and approved wire service.
  2. Unfavorable material information must be disclosed as promptly and completely as favorable material information. As well, disclosure must include any information the omission of which would make the rest of the disclosure misleading.
  3. Disclosure must be corrected immediately if CanAlaska subsequently learns earlier disclosure contained a material error. Any error detected should be brought forward to the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CanAlaska on the nature and method of communication of the error.
  4. If previously undisclosed material information is inadvertently disclosed to an analyst or any other person not bound by an express confidentiality obligation, such information must be broadly disclosed immediately via media release.
  5. Disclosure on the CanAlaska website alone does not constitute adequate disclosure of material information.
  6. In circumstances where CanAlaska determines disclosure would be unduly detrimental, such as release of information that would prejudice negotiations in a corporate transaction, CanAlaska shall file a confidential material change report with applicable securities regulators and shall review its decision to keep the information confidential at least every ten days.

MAINTAINING CONFIDENTIALITY

Employees of CanAlaska, its Board of Directors, consultants, applicable contractors and individuals authorized to speak on behalf of CanAlaska who are privy to confidential information are prohibited from communicating such information unless it is necessary to do so in the ordinary course of business.

Outside parties privy to undisclosed material information concerning CanAlaska shall be told that they must not divulge such information to anyone else other than in the necessary course of business and that they may not trade in securities of CanAlaska until the information is publicly disclosed. Such outside parties shall confirm their commitment to non-disclosure in the form of a written confidentiality agreement.

In order to prevent the misuse or inadvertent disclosure of material information, the following procedures should be observed at all times:

  1. Documents and files containing confidential information should be kept in safe locations accessible only to designated individuals.
  2. Confidential matters should not be discussed in public places where conversations may be overheard, e.g. elevators, hallways, restaurants, airplanes, and taxis.
  3. Confidential matters should not be excessively discussed on non-secure wireless telephones, skype field reports, or other non-secure wireless devices.
  4. Confidential documents should not be read or displayed in public places and should not be discarded where others can retrieve them.
  5. Employees must ensure they maintain the confidentiality of information in their possession outside of the office as well as inside the office.
  6. Transmission of documents by electronic means, such as by fax or by e-mail, should be made only where it is reasonable to believe the transmission can be made and received under secure conditions.
  7. Access to confidential electronic data should be restricted through the use of passwords.
  8. Unnecessary copying of confidential documents should be avoided and documents containing confidential information should be promptly removed from conference rooms and work areas after meetings have concluded. Extra copies of confidential documents should be shredded or otherwise destroyed.

DESIGNATED SPOKESPERSONS

Only the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Vice President of Corporate Development (V.P.) of CanAlaska shall be designated the official spokesperson for CanAlaska and is authorized to discuss material information with the media, institutional and individual investment community.

Other employees or consultants may be designated by the CEO or V.P. to speak on behalf of CanAlaska as back-ups or to respond to specific inquiries.

Employees who are not authorized spokespersons must not respond under any circumstances to inquiries from the investment community, the media or others, unless specifically asked to do so by an authorized spokesperson. All such inquiries shall be referred to the CEO and V.P.

MEDIA RELEASES

Once a determination is made that a development is material, a news release shall be issued, unless it is determined that such development must remain confidential for the time being and appropriate control of that information is instituted. Should a material oral statement inadvertently be made in a selective forum, CanAlaska shall immediately issue a news release in order to fully publicly disclose that information.

Prior notice of a media release announcing material information must be provided to the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (“IIROC”), if the TSX Venture Exchange is open for trading at the time of a proposed announcement, to enable a trading halt if deemed necessary by the IIROC. If a media release announcing material information is issued outside of trading hours, IIROC must be notified before the market opens by faxing a copy of the media release to (416) 646.7263. A copy of the proposed release is sent to all independent directors at this time.

Only upon approval of the annual and interim financial statements, management discussion and analysis, and annual report initially by the Company audit committee, then the board of directors, shall annual financial results be publicly released.

Media releases shall be disseminated through an approved newswire service that provides simultaneous national and/or international distribution. Media releases shall be transmitted to all stock exchange members, relevant regulatory bodies, major business wires, national financial media and local media.

Media releases shall be posted on the CanAlaska website immediately after release over the newswire. The media releases page of the CanAlaska website shall include a notice that advises readers the information posted was accurate at the time of posting, but may be superseded by subsequent media releases.

Notification of Blackout Periods

The CEO, the Corporate Secretary or the Vice President of Corporate Development will endeavour to notify the appropriate parties by e-mail of any blackout periods. If you are not certain of the current blackout status please confirm by contacting the above individuals prior to engaging in activities involving the Company’s securities.

CONTACTS WITH ANALYSTS, INVESTORS AND MEDIA

CanAlaska recognizes meetings and/or discussions with analysts, significant investors and media are an important part of the Company’s investor relations program. CanAlaska shall meet with analysts and investors on an individual or small group basis as needed and shall initiate contacts or respond to analyst, investor and media calls in a timely, balanced and accurate manner in accordance with this DP.

If CanAlaska intends to announce material information at an analyst or shareholders’ meeting or a media conference or conference call, the announcement must be preceded by a media release. Disclosure in individual or group meetings does not constitute adequate disclosure of material information.

CanAlaska shall provide only non-material or previously released information through individual and group meetings, in addition to regular publicly disclosed information. CanAlaska cannot alter the materiality of information by breaking down the information into smaller, non-material components.

REVIEWING ANALYST DRAFT REPORTS AND MODELS

CanAlaska shall review, upon request, analysts’ draft research reports or models for accuracy based on publicly disclosed information. It is the policy of CanAlaska, when an analyst inquires with respect to his/her estimates, to question an analyst’s assumptions if the estimate is a significant outlier among the range of estimates for CanAlaska. CanAlaska shall limit its comments in responding to such inquiries to non-material information.

In order to avoid appearing to “endorse” an analyst’s report or model, CanAlaska shall provide its comments orally or shall attach a disclaimer to written comments to indicate the report was reviewed only for factual accuracy.

RUMOURS

It is the policy of CanAlaska not to comment on market rumours or speculation including those made via the internet. Should the TSX Venture Exchange request that CanAlaska make a definitive statement in response to a market rumour that is causing significant volatility in the stock, CanAlaska shall consider the matter and decide whether to make a policy exception.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Should CanAlaska elect to disclose forward-looking information in continuous disclosure documents, speeches, conference calls, etc., the following guidelines shall be observed:

  1. The information, if deemed material, shall be broadly disseminated via media release, in accordance with this DP.
  2. The information shall be clearly identified as forward-looking.
  3. CanAlaska shall identify all material assumptions used in the preparation of the forward-looking information.
  4. The information shall be accompanied by a statement that identifies, in very specific terms, the risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statement.
  5. The information shall be accompanied by a statement that disclaims the intention or obligation of CanAlaska to update or revise the forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Notwithstanding this disclaimer, should subsequent events prove past statements about current trends to be materially off target, CanAlaska may choose to issue a media release explaining the reasons for the difference. In this case, CanAlaska shall update its guidance on the anticipated impact on revenue and earnings or other key metrics.

TRADING RESTRICTIONS WITH BLACKOUT PERIODS

It is illegal for anyone to purchase or sell securities of CanAlaska with knowledge of material information affecting CanAlaska that has not been publicly disclosed. Except in the necessary course of business, it is also illegal for anyone to inform any other person of material non-public information. Therefore, insiders and employees with knowledge of confidential or material information about CanAlaska or counter-parties in negotiations of material potential are prohibited from trading securities of CanAlaska or any counter-party until the information has been fully disclosed and a reasonable period of time has passed for the information to be widely disseminated.

Blackout periods may be prescribed from time to time by the Board of Directors as a result of special circumstances relating to the Company pursuant to which insiders of the Company would be precluded from trading in securities of the Company. All parties with knowledge of such special circumstances are covered by the blackout. Such parties may include consultants, employees, external advisors, such as legal counsel, investment bankers and counter-parties in negotiations of material potential transactions.

The following additional conditions apply to directors and senior officers of the Company. A director or senior officer of the Company must file an insider report with the Canadian provincial and territorial securities regulations within 5 days of a purchase or sale of the Company’s securities or grant of stock option. In order to reduce the likelihood of the violation of these trading and tipping restrictions, the Company has adopted the following policy:

  • Trading in the Company’s securities, or related securities such as options, must not take place during blackout periods. Each blackout period begins one business day before the issuance of a news release and ends at the end of the second business day after the day the Company issues the release publically. If there are any doubts whether or not any particular day is within a blackout period contact the CEO or Corporate Secretary. In addition, when the director or senior officer is aware of a material fact that has not yet been disclosed to the public, they must remain in blackout until the material change has been reported publically.
  • Each year the Company holds an annual shareholder meeting. In connection with these meetings, it mails out a proxy circular to its shareholders giving notice of the shareholder meeting and providing information to shareholders with respect to matters of business to be dealt with at the meeting. A director or senior officer must not trade from the date of mailing until the end of the fifth business day following the date of mailing of a proxy circular to shareholders. This restriction also applies to special or extraordinary shareholder meetings. If there are any doubts as to when this period applies, contact the CEO or Corporate Secretary.
  • Directors and senior officers are encouraged to give prior notice to the CEO or Corporate Secretary of their intention to exercise a stock option and obtain confirmation that any sale of securities in connection with the exercise of a stock option will not occur during a blackout period.
