The Form F-10 Files Dataset is a corpus of cross-border registration statements filed on EDGAR by qualifying Canadian issuers under the U.S.-Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (MJDS). One record is a single F-10 or F-10/A submission, identified by its EDGAR accession number and packaged as a self-contained folder inside a monthly ZIP container, with the registration-statement HTML, the full exhibit set (underwriting agreements, indentures, legal opinions, consents, technical reports, and the inline-XBRL filing-fee exhibit), and a metadata.json index that captures the EDGAR filing header. The underlying form is filed under the Securities Act of 1933 by Canadian issuers that satisfy the MJDS eligibility tests — Canadian incorporation, at least 12 months of Canadian continuous-disclosure compliance, and a public float of at least US$75 million. Coverage runs from February 2002 to the present, distributed in monthly ZIP containers with TXT, JSON, HTML, and PDF file types.

The Form F-10 Files Dataset captures every Form F-10 and Form F-10/A registration-statement submission accepted by EDGAR from February 2002 onward. Form F-10 is one of the four core forms (F-7, F-8, F-10, F-80) of the U.S.-Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System introduced in 1991, and it is the broadest and most heavily used MJDS vehicle — the long-form/shelf registration available to substantial Canadian issuers who satisfy MJDS eligibility. F-10 records are initial registration statements; F-10/A records are subsequent pre- or post-effective amendments. Each record bundles the registration statement together with every document the registrant transmitted to EDGAR under that accession, with the deliberate exception of binary image graphics.
The dataset is distributed as monthly ZIP containers under form-f10-files/<YYYY>/<YYYY-MM>.zip. The top-level folder inside each ZIP is the year-month, and its direct children are accession-number folders — one folder per filing. The dataset's distributed file types are TXT, JSON, HTML, and PDF; in modern records the dominant types are HTML (registration statement, exhibits, and the inline-XBRL fee exhibit) and JSON (the metadata index), while plain TXT and PDF appear in older or atypical filings.
One record in the Form F-10 Files Dataset is a single F-10 or F-10/A registration-statement submission, identified by its EDGAR accession number and packaged as a self-contained folder inside a monthly ZIP container. The unit of record is the filing — not the issuer and not an individual exhibit. Every document the registrant transmitted to EDGAR under that accession is preserved together (with the narrow exception of binary image graphics), alongside a metadata.json index that captures the EDGAR filing header.
F-10 records are initial registration statements; F-10/A records are subsequent amendments to a previously filed F-10. Amendments are stored as their own accession-numbered records with their own metadata and document set, even when they reference and reuse the original filing's exhibits. The folder name is the accession number with dashes removed: accession 0001213900-25-106811 lives in a folder named 000121390025106811. Inside that folder the layout is flat — there is no nested exhibit directory — and consists of one metadata.json plus the registration-statement HTML and however many exhibit HTML documents the registrant attached.
Form F-10 is a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 and is one of the four core forms (F-7, F-8, F-10, F-80) of the MJDS introduced in 1991. It is available only to substantial Canadian issuers who satisfy the MJDS eligibility tests: incorporation under the laws of Canada or a Canadian province or territory, at least 12 months of compliance with Canadian continuous-disclosure obligations (filings with provincial securities regulators on SEDAR/SEDAR+), and a public float of at least US$75 million in equity securities (or the corresponding debt-only thresholds for non-convertible investment-grade debt offerings).
The economic purpose of an F-10 is to allow a qualifying Canadian issuer to register securities for sale in the United States using a prospectus prepared substantially in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, rather than re-drafting under the U.S. Form F-1/F-3 regimes. The body of an F-10 is therefore typically a Canadian short-form base shelf prospectus, prospectus supplement, or long-form prospectus, reformatted as a U.S. registration statement and wrapped in a U.S.-style cover page, signature block, and exhibit list, accompanied by U.S.-specific consents and the U.S. fee table. The "F-10" designation distinguishes it from F-7 (rights offerings), F-8 (business combinations / exchange offers), and F-80 (exchange offers in business combinations), which use parallel but narrower MJDS structures.
F-10/A is a pre-effective or post-effective amendment to an F-10, typically used to add missing exhibits, supply final pricing information, file consents that were unavailable at first filing, or respond to SEC staff comments. An amendment may be a full re-filing of the prospectus or a thin "Amendment No. N" cover that incorporates the previously filed body by reference and updates only specific items.
The dataset is distributed as monthly ZIP containers under form-f10-files/<YYYY>/<YYYY-MM>.zip. The top-level folder inside each ZIP is the year-month, and its direct children are accession-number folders — one folder per filing. Inside each accession folder the layout is uniformly flat:
metadata.jsonEX-* exhibit HTML documentsImage files (JPG, GIF, PNG) referenced from inside the HTML — issuer logos, signature images, maps, technical-report figures, geological cross-sections — are deliberately excluded from the dataset. The metadata.json still lists them as GRAPHIC-type entries with their original documentUrl pointing at sec.gov, so they can be retrieved from EDGAR if needed but are not shipped on disk. The EDGAR "complete submission text file" (the concatenated .txt envelope of the entire submission, indexed in documentFormatFiles with sequence: " ") is similarly referenced in metadata but not duplicated on disk because each constituent document is shipped individually.
The file-types found in the dataset are TXT, JSON, HTML, and PDF. In modern F-10 records the dominant types are HTM/HTML (registration statement, exhibits, and the inline-XBRL fee exhibit) and JSON (the metadata index); plain TXT and PDF appear in older or atypical filings, particularly for graphics-heavy technical reports.
metadata.json indexmetadata.json is the canonical filing-header record for the accession, structured as a single JSON object. Its top-level fields are:
formType — "F-10" or "F-10/A".accessionNo — dashed accession number, e.g. "0001213900-25-106811".id — a stable opaque hex key uniquely identifying the record within the dataset.description — human-readable form description; for amendments the string carries an : [Amend] suffix.filedAt — ISO-8601 timestamp with timezone offset of the EDGAR acceptance, e.g. "2025-11-06T06:10:45-05:00".linkToFilingDetails — URL of the primary registration document on sec.gov.linkToHtml — URL of the EDGAR filing index page.linkToTxt — URL of the EDGAR combined .txt submission envelope.linkToXbrl — present but empty for F-10 records, because F-10 carries no financial-report XBRL; only the filing-fee exhibit carries inline XBRL.documentFormatFiles — ordered array describing every document in the EDGAR submission. Each element has sequence (string "1", "2", … and " " for the catch-all complete-submission text file at the end), size (bytes as a string), documentUrl, description, and type. Observed type values include F-10, F-10/A, EX-4.1, the EX-5.x family (frequently extending through EX-5.15 or further), EX-7.1, EX-7.2, EX-FILING FEES, and GRAPHIC. The ordering of this array is the EDGAR sequence order — the order an SEC reader sees the documents in the filing index.dataFiles — array of XBRL data-file descriptors. Empty for amendments without a fresh fee exhibit; for filings with a fee exhibit it contains a single EXTRACTED XBRL INSTANCE DOCUMENT entry whose target is the ..._htm.xml companion to the inline-XBRL fee HTML.entities — array of party objects, one per filer / co-registrant on the EDGAR header. Each entity carries cik, companyName (with role suffix such as "(Filer)"), fileNo (the EDGAR Securities Act file number, of the form 333-NNNNNN), irsNo, fiscalYearEnd (MMDD), act (always "33" for F-10, indicating Securities Act of 1933), type (mirrors formType), sic (SIC code with industry label), filmNo (EDGAR film number), stateOfIncorporation (EDGAR-style two-character code, where Canadian provinces use A0 for Alberta, A1 for British Columbia, A8 for Ontario, A9 for Quebec, etc.), and tickers (an array of trading symbols, often including both Canadian and U.S. tickers, e.g. ["GFR","GFRWF"]).seriesAndClassesContractsInformation — empty array for F-10 records (this field is populated for investment-company filings, which never use F-10).Every HTML document on disk — main form and exhibits alike — is wrapped in EDGAR's SGML <DOCUMENT> envelope rather than being a bare HTML page. The opening lines of each file are SGML-style header tags, after which a <TEXT> element contains the rendered HTML body:

... registration statement body ...
The four header fields — <TYPE>, <SEQUENCE>, <FILENAME>, <DESCRIPTION> — mirror the corresponding entries in metadata.documentFormatFiles, so a consumer can join an on-disk file to its metadata entry by either filename or sequence. The body inside <TEXT>…</TEXT> is conventional HTML (with inline CSS, <table> elements for financial schedules, and embedded <img> references to the excluded graphics). For the fee exhibit the <TEXT> payload is an XHTML document declaring the inline-XBRL namespaces (xmlns:ix, xmlns:dei, xmlns:ffd).
The main F-10 HTML is the registration statement itself. Its internal structure typically proceeds in this order:
Facing page / cover page. Identifies the form ("FORM F-10 REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933"), the registrant's exact legal name, the province or territory of incorporation, the SIC code and IRS Employer Identification Number (or a notation that the registrant has none), the address and telephone number of the principal executive offices, the name and address of the U.S. agent for service of process (a required MJDS element, often CT Corporation System or a similarly designated U.S. agent), the approximate date of commencement of the proposed sale, and a calculation-of-registration-fee table footer cross-referencing the EX-FILING FEES exhibit. For an F-10/A the cover identifies the amendment number ("Amendment No. 2 to FORM F-10") and references the prior 333-NNNNNN file number assigned at initial filing.
Part I — Information required to be delivered to offerees or purchasers. Under MJDS this part is satisfied by the Canadian prospectus, which is reproduced or incorporated. The Canadian prospectus itself contains the conventional offering disclosure: a prospectus summary; offering and listing details; risk factors specific to the issuer, the industry, and the securities; use of proceeds; consolidated capitalization; description of share capital and of the securities being offered (common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, units, or a base-shelf combination); plan of distribution including any underwriting syndicate; eligibility for investment under Canadian tax-deferred plans; certain Canadian and U.S. federal income-tax considerations; legal matters; experts; and documents incorporated by reference (typically the issuer's most recent annual information form, audited annual financial statements, MD&A, interim financials, and material change reports filed on SEDAR/SEDAR+).
Part II — Information not required to be delivered to offerees or purchasers. The U.S.-specific items: indemnification of directors and officers; the exhibit index (with item numbers cross-referenced to the EX-* files); and undertakings, including the standard undertaking to file post-effective amendments and the MJDS-specific undertaking to file an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X concurrently.
Signatures. Required signatures of the registrant, the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, the principal accounting officer, a majority of the board of directors, and the authorized representative in the United States, together with the date and place (typically a Canadian city) of execution.
Exhibit index. A tabular list of exhibit numbers, descriptions, and references. The actual exhibit documents are filed as separate EX-* files in the same accession folder rather than appended to the main HTML.
The exhibits filed alongside the main F-10 document follow the exhibit numbering scheme set out in the General Instructions to Form F-10. The exhibit types found in the dataset, and their typical informational content, are:
EX-4.1 Standby Purchase Agreement attached to a shelf takedown.The on-disk filenames are issuer-chosen and follow the conventions of the registrant's filing agent (e.g., Toppan Merrill's tm…, Donnelley's d…, EdgarAgents' ea…). The authoritative typing comes from <TYPE> in the SGML envelope and the type field in documentFormatFiles, not from the filename.
The filing-fee document is structurally distinct from every other file in the record. It is an inline-XBRL XHTML document declaring the namespaces http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml, http://www.xbrl.org/2013/inlineXBRL (ix:), http://xbrl.sec.gov/dei/<year> (dei:), and http://xbrl.sec.gov/ffd/<year> (ffd:, the SEC's Filing Fee Data taxonomy). Inside an <ix:hidden> block at the top of the body, the document declares the submission type (ffd:SubmissnTp = F-10), the fee-exhibit type (ffd:FeeExhibitTp = EX-FILING FEES), and the registrant's CIK (dei:EntityCentralIndexKey), followed by <ix:nonNumeric> and <ix:nonFraction> tags carrying each line of the calculation-of-registration-fee table: security type, fee calculation rule, amount registered, proposed maximum offering price per unit, proposed maximum aggregate offering price, fee rate, and fee paid. A rendered HTML table presents the same numbers visually for human readers.
When the filing produces a fee exhibit, the dataset record also lists (in metadata.dataFiles) the extracted XBRL instance XML companion file with the suffix _htm.xml. The inline-XBRL HTML is always shipped on disk; the extracted XML companion is sometimes shipped and sometimes not.
For every accession the record includes:
metadata.json filing-header index;<DOCUMENT> envelope intact;Amendments are stored as their own accession folders with their own metadata and documents.
Three categories of content are not carried inside the record folder:
GRAPHIC-type files (JPG, GIF, PNG — typically issuer logos, signature images, technical-report figures and maps) are excluded by design. They remain enumerated in metadata.documentFormatFiles with their original documentUrl on sec.gov, but the bytes are not on disk..txt bundle that EDGAR generates as a single concatenation of the entire submission is not duplicated on disk because each component document is already shipped individually; its location is preserved as metadata.linkToTxt and as the trailing sequence: " " entry in documentFormatFiles.The Form F-X power-of-attorney appointing the U.S. agent for service of process is filed as a separate EDGAR submission with its own accession and is therefore a separate dataset record outside the F-10 dataset.
Several material changes have shaped what one record contains across the dataset's coverage from February 2002 to the present:
EX-FILING FEES document that is absent in earlier records; the legacy cover-page fee table persists in older records.metadata.linkToXbrl is empty for F-10 records by design. The only XBRL inside an F-10 record is the inline-XBRL fee exhibit. This is the sole structured-data element of the form.F-10 was added to EDGAR as a mandatory electronic form in the late 1990s, and from the start of the dataset's coverage in February 2002 the dominant format has already been HTML wrapped in the EDGAR SGML <DOCUMENT> envelope. Records from the early 2000s more frequently carry plain ASCII/text exhibits (the TXT file type) and PDF exhibits for graphics-heavy documents such as technical reports; modern records are almost exclusively HTM/HTML plus the JSON manifest, with PDF appearing rarely. The 2022–2024 introduction of the inline-XBRL fee exhibit is the most consequential format change of recent years and is responsible for the appearance of ix:-namespaced XHTML and the EXTRACTED XBRL INSTANCE DOCUMENT entries in metadata.dataFiles. Throughout the coverage period the SGML envelope around each file has remained stable, so the <TYPE> / <SEQUENCE> / <FILENAME> / <DESCRIPTION> header fields are reliable for parsing across the entire history.
Within the same flat folder layout, records vary considerably in scale:
metadata.json plus a single *_f10a.htm cover page when the amendment merely re-states the cover and incorporates the prior body and exhibits by reference.333-NNNNNN value in entities[].fileNo).entities[].fileNo (e.g., 333-291303) is the durable identifier of the registration; multiple F-10/A records sharing this file number together describe one registration's lifecycle.<TYPE> in the SGML envelope or documentFormatFiles[].type, not by parsing filenames.tickers array can include both a TSX/TSXV symbol and a U.S. NYSE/Nasdaq/OTC symbol for the same security..txt are deliberately omitted.

The filer is the issuer itself, not its underwriters, counsel, or selling shareholders.
Eligibility under General Instruction I to Form F-10 is narrow. The registrant must:
Investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 are excluded, and certain Canadian Crown corporations register debt through Schedule B procedures rather than Form F-10. Offerings of investment-grade non-convertible debt or preferred securities can be registered on Form F-10 without satisfying the public float test.
In practice, F-10 filers are seasoned, large-cap Canadian issuers: the major Canadian banks, mining and energy companies, Canadian-trust REITs, and industrial issuers seeking U.S. capital while continuing to use a Canadian-style prospectus.
Form F-10 is event-driven, not periodic. A filing is triggered when an eligible Canadian issuer begins the U.S. registration process for a specific offering or shelf program. Common triggers:
Under Section 5 of the Securities Act, sales cannot occur until the registration statement is declared effective; MJDS review is materially streamlined relative to non-MJDS foreign private issuer filings, in reliance on Canadian regulatory clearance.
Form F-10/A is a pre- or post-effective amendment to a previously filed F-10. Amendments arise from:
Routine takedowns from an F-10 shelf are filed as 424B prospectus supplements, not as F-10/A. Withdrawals of an unused registration statement are filed under Rule 477 as RW filings and are also outside this dataset.
Form F-10 sits between two clusters: the MJDS forms used by qualifying Canadian issuers, and the broader Securities Act registration regime (F-series and S-series). The closest comparison points are F-3, F-1, 40-F, and the amendment/supplement filings that surround any registration statement.
F-3 is the closest economic substitute. Both are short-form/shelf registrations that rely on incorporation by reference and support takedowns through 424B supplements. An MJDS-eligible Canadian issuer can typically choose between them.
The decisive difference is the disclosure regime:
The choice drives which accountants' standards apply, how supplements are structured, and what section conventions the prospectus follows. For text-mining, F-10 prospectuses cannot be parsed with templates designed for F-3.
F-1 is the long-form FPI registration — the foreign analogue of S-1. It is the closest substitute when a Canadian issuer is not MJDS-eligible (less than 12 months of Canadian reporting, public float below $75 million, or non-Canadian incorporation).
Differences:
F-1 prospectuses are typically longer and more U.S.-flavored than F-10 prospectuses.
Both are shelf vehicles, but the eligibility gates and underlying disclosure machinery differ:
The same Canadian issuer may qualify for both; selecting F-10 routes review and disclosure through the Canadian regime, while F-3 routes them through the U.S. regime.
These three are easily confused but capture different points in the registration lifecycle. Only F-10 and F-10/A are in this dataset.
A full F-10 shelf lifecycle therefore spans four layers: F-10, F-10/A, POSAM, and 424B. This dataset captures the first two.
40-F is the MJDS annual report — the Exchange Act periodic filing an MJDS issuer files instead of a 10-K or 20-F. The relationship is complementary, not substitutional:
The 40-F supplies most of the financial and operational content the F-10 references. Studying an MJDS issuer's capital-raising typically requires both: 40-F for the disclosure backdrop, F-10 for the offering terms, underwriting arrangements, and transaction-specific exhibits.
F-10 is the broadest and most heavily used MJDS vehicle; the others are narrower or procedural.
The Form F-10 Files Dataset is the only collection focused on the MJDS long-form/shelf prospectus used by qualifying Canadian issuers. It is:
Related datasets (40-F, 424B, POSAM, F-X) complement F-10 but cannot replace it: only this dataset contains the cross-border MJDS prospectus itself.
Form F-10 filings are the primary registration vehicle for Canadian issuers raising capital in the U.S. under the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System. Because each accession bundles the prospectus with full exhibits and metadata, different roles drill into different parts of the same record.
U.S. and Canadian securities lawyers structuring MJDS offerings pull peer F-10s for precedent. They read the cover page for eligibility representations (MJDS legend, public float, 12-month reporting test), the plan of distribution, use of proceeds, and risk factors covering foreign private issuer status, IFRS reconciliation, and enforceability against Canadian directors. On the exhibit side they compare EX-1 underwriting agreements (indemnification, lock-ups, market-out, over-allotment), EX-5 validity opinions under Canadian corporate law, EX-23 auditor consents, and EX-107 fee tables for shelf takedown calculations.
Capital markets bankers working on cross-border deals in mining, energy, cannabis, REITs, and Canadian financials use the corpus to build comparable transaction tables. They mine the plan of distribution for syndicate structure (firm commitment, bought deals, ATM programs), EX-1 for gross spreads, expense reimbursements, and stabilization terms, and EX-107 for sized takedowns against shelf capacity. Output: pitch books and structuring proposals.
Sell-side and buy-side analysts covering Canadian dual-listed names use F-10 prospectuses as primary disclosure. Equity analysts read the business description, MD&A, risk factors, and financials, with particular focus on reserve and royalty disclosures for resource issuers. Credit analysts read the description of notes, covenant and ranking language, guarantor structure, and use of proceeds (refinancing vs. acquisition vs. capex) to support coverage notes and rating reviews.
Compliance analysts at syndicate-member broker-dealers verify their firm's listing in the plan of distribution, confirm registered amounts on EX-107, and check cover-page signatures and MJDS legends. The corpus supports prospectus delivery validation, syndicate participation records, and responses to regulator inquiries by accession number.
PMs at long-only funds, hedge funds, and pension plans evaluating Canadian new issues focus on use of proceeds, dilution and lock-ups, conflicts in the plan of distribution, financial statements, and jurisdiction-specific political, environmental, and regulatory risk factors. Historical filings let them track disclosure evolution across repeat issuers before subscribing.
Strategic acquirers and M&A advisors monitor F-10s where Canadian buyers raise U.S. capital to fund acquisitions. They watch use-of-proceeds for merger earmarks, concurrent private-placement disclosure, and risk factors signaling pending transactions, then read the prospectus and pro forma capitalization to assess financing certainty and conditions.
Engineers and quants build extraction pipelines over the homogeneous HTML/TXT/PDF corpus. Cover pages and EX-107 fee tables yield structured deal size, security type, and syndicate fields; risk factors feed topic classifiers; full prospectus sections feed embeddings. Researchers use the resulting features for event studies around effectiveness dates, post-issuance return analysis, and shelf-utilization signals.
Teams building copilots for securities lawyers and bankers use the corpus as grounded source material. Full exhibit text, especially EX-1 and EX-5, supports clause-level retrieval for drafting and benchmarking questions with citations to filed documents.
Researchers studying MJDS adoption assemble panels from 2002 onward to examine eligibility persistence, shelf-renewal cadence, sectoral concentration, and the relative cost of capital for MJDS users versus full F-1/F-3 registrants. They draw cover-page metadata, EX-107 fee tables, and underwriter identities for the panel and use financial statements and risk factors for case studies.
Counsel and bankers use F-10s for precedent and structuring; analysts and PMs for coverage and subscription decisions; compliance teams for supervisory records; corporate development for acquirer-financing tracking; and data, ML, and academic users for models and empirical work. The full-exhibit accession lets each role drill from cover-page metadata down to the contractual language that drives their workflow.
The Form F-10 Files Dataset supports a small set of concrete cross-border-offering workflows. The examples below tie each use case to the records pulled, the components extracted, and the deliverable produced.
A capital markets associate covering Canadian mining and energy issuers assembles a comparable-transaction table for a pitch on a US$300M base-shelf. They filter metadata.json on formType = "F-10", entities[].sic (gold, silver, oil and gas), and filedAt within the last 24 months, then parse the inline-XBRL EX-FILING FEES exhibit (ffd: tags) to pull security type, amount registered, and aggregate offering price. They join to EX-1 underwriting agreements to extract gross spread, over-allotment, and bought-deal versus best-efforts terms. Output: a comp table of size, structure, and economics keyed by issuer and shelf vintage.
A US securities associate drafting a Canadian gold producer's base-shelf pulls the most recent ten F-10 records for similarly situated MJDS issuers. From each main F-10 HTML they extract the cover-page MJDS legend, the enforceability-against-Canadian-directors risk factor, the U.S. tax disclosure, and the Part II indemnification and undertaking sections; from EX-5.x they collect Canadian counsel validity opinions. Deliverable: an annotated precedent binder of clause variants with accession-number citations.
A research analyst tracking a Canadian biotech's repeat shelf usage joins all F-10 and F-10/A records sharing a common entities[].fileNo value (333-NNNNNN) to reconstruct the as-amended registration. They diff the cover-page amendment numbers, the EX-FILING FEES tables across amendments, and the EX-1 underwriting agreements added by amendment. Output: a per-registration timeline of staff-comment responses, fee adjustments, and final pricing exhibits.
A market-structure researcher extracts the EX-5.x and EX-23 consent letters from every F-10 record over the 2015-2025 window, parses the consenting auditor and law-firm names from the letter text, and joins to issuer SIC and stateOfIncorporation from metadata.entities. Deliverable: a panel of auditor-issuer and counsel-issuer ties for studying market concentration in cross-border MJDS work and tracking auditor changes around shelf renewals.
A quant team building a reserves-and-resources signal for Canadian dual-listed miners pulls EX-7 long-form exhibits filed alongside F-10 records with mining or oil-and-gas SIC codes. They parse the NI 43-101 or NI 51-101 technical-report HTML for tonnage, grade, reserve category, and qualified-person identity, joining to issuer tickers (TSX and U.S. symbols) from metadata.entities. Output: a structured reserve-disclosure feed used in resource-NAV models and event studies around F-10 effectiveness dates.
An LLM team building an in-house drafting copilot for MJDS counsel ingests the full F-10 dataset, splits each main HTML and exhibit by SGML <DOCUMENT> envelope (<TYPE>, <SEQUENCE>, <FILENAME>, <DESCRIPTION>), and indexes EX-1, EX-4, and EX-5 documents at the clause level. Queries return passage-level matches keyed to accession number and exhibit type. Deliverable: clause-retrieval and benchmarking grounded in filed F-10 prospectuses and exhibits.

The Form F-10 Files Dataset covers two form types: Form F-10 (initial MJDS registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933) and Form F-10/A (pre- or post-effective amendments to a previously filed F-10). It does not include 424B prospectus supplements, POSAM/POSASR post-effective amendments, or the Form F-X agent-for-service-of-process appointment, which are filed under separate form codes.
One record is a single F-10 or F-10/A submission identified by its EDGAR accession number, packaged as a self-contained folder inside a monthly ZIP container. The folder contains a metadata.json filing-header index, the registration-statement HTML wrapped in EDGAR's SGML <DOCUMENT> envelope, every non-graphic exhibit (EX-1 underwriting agreements, EX-4 instruments, EX-5 opinions and consents, EX-7 long-form opinions and technical reports, EX-23 consents, EX-99 additional exhibits), and the inline-XBRL filing-fee exhibit where applicable.
Form F-10 is filed by Canadian issuers that satisfy the MJDS eligibility tests in General Instruction I to the form: incorporation under the laws of Canada or a Canadian province or territory, foreign-private-issuer status under Securities Act Rule 405, at least 12 months of Canadian continuous-disclosure compliance, and a public float of at least US$75 million held by non-affiliates. Investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 are excluded; non-convertible investment-grade debt and preferred-securities offerings can be registered without satisfying the public-float test.
Form F-10 is event-driven, not periodic. New records appear when an eligible Canadian issuer registers a new offering or shelf program, renews an expiring 25-month base shelf, or files an amendment (F-10/A) to respond to SEC staff comments, incorporate a final Canadian prospectus, update financial statements or exhibits, or reflect a post-effective material change. The dataset is refreshed and exposes per-container update timestamps via the dataset index endpoint.
EDGAR coverage in this dataset begins on the earliest sample date of February 1, 2002 and runs to the present. Records are distributed in monthly ZIP containers under form-f10-files/<YYYY>/<YYYY-MM>.zip, and the file types found inside are TXT, JSON, HTML, and PDF. Modern records are dominated by HTML documents and the JSON metadata index; TXT and PDF appear primarily in older or graphics-heavy filings.
F-3 is the closest economic substitute because both are short-form/shelf registrations with 424B takedowns, but F-3 incorporates U.S. Exchange Act reports under Regulation S-K and S-X, while F-10 incorporates Canadian AIF, MD&A, and Canadian-format financial statements under National Instrument 71-101. Form 40-F is the MJDS annual report — periodic disclosure that the F-10 prospectus incorporates by reference — making 40-F complementary rather than substitutional: 40-F supplies the disclosure backdrop, while F-10 supplies the offering terms, underwriting arrangements, and transaction-specific exhibits.
The only structured data inside an F-10 record is the inline-XBRL filing-fee exhibit (EX-FILING FEES / EX-107), introduced for F-10 filings from late 2022 onward under the SEC's Filing Fee Disclosure and Payment Methods Modernization rules. It uses the SEC's ffd: Filing Fee Data taxonomy to tag security type, fee calculation rule, amount registered, proposed maximum offering price per unit, proposed maximum aggregate offering price, fee rate, and fee paid. Form F-10 itself carries no financial-report XBRL — financial statements are reported in Canadian format via Form 40-F or by incorporation — so metadata.linkToXbrl is empty by design.
