What changed

The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) has issued a Notice of Hearing alleging that 2307755 Alberta Ltd. and its director/officer Daniel Rodolfo Astete engaged in illegal distributions of securities. Between November and December 2023, the company allegedly raised approximately $500,000 by distributing shares through a real estate crowdfunding platform for a Calgary development project, without filing a prospectus. The ASC alleges that the company purported to rely on the start-up crowdfunding exemption but violated its terms by paying $21,000 to Astete as a commission from the raised funds.

This action signifies a potential enforcement proceeding that requires immediate attention from compliance officers.

An appearance to set a hearing date is scheduled for April 8, 2026. While these are allegations and have not been proven, non-compliance with securities laws can lead to significant penalties and reputational damage.

Ensure all commission or fee payments related to exempt offerings are compliant with relevant securities regulations.
Prepare for potential ASC inquiries or audits regarding crowdfunding activities.
