A former Burnaby woman has agreed to pay $40,000 and is banned from trading in B.C.'s investment market for 10 years after her company ran afoul of the province's securities laws.
Without a prospectus – or an exemption from the prospectus requirement – the company's distribution of securities was illegal, the commission said. But that trading was also illegal since the company was not registered under B.C.'s Securities Act to trade in securities, the commission said. Although she continues to hold the title of CEO, she has not performed the duties of that office since resigning as director in 2023, the release said.
