Frequently Asked Questions

This Form 6-K is a report of foreign private issuers that serves to furnish information to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In this instance, it primarily acts as a cover for other exhibits and confirms BAM's filing procedures.

Incorporation by reference means that the content of Exhibit 99.1 (excluding the Letter to Shareholders) is legally treated as part of the specified registration statements (Form S-8 and the other form). This is often done for documents that are continuously relevant or updated.

Form S-8 is typically used by companies to register securities to be offered to employees under employee benefit plans. Incorporating information by reference into an S-8 suggests that the material in Exhibit 99.1 is relevant to the securities being offered or has been previously disclosed in a manner consistent with the requirements for such registration statements.

Filing on Form 20-F signifies that BAM is a foreign private issuer under SEC rules. This form is used by foreign companies for their annual reports and has different disclosure requirements than domestic U.S. companies that file on Form 10-K.
