SOPHISTICATED INVESTOR AND/OR HIGH NET WORTH INVESTOR STATEMENT

I make this statement so that I can receive promotional communications which are exempt from the restriction on the promotion of non-mainstream pooled investments. The exemption relates to self-certified sophisticated investors and certified high net worth investors. I declare that I qualify as such because at least one of the following applies to me:

Sophisticated Investor

I qualify as a Sophisticated Investor because at least one of the following applies to me:

  1. I am a member of a network or syndicate of business angels and have been so for at least the last six months prior to the date below.
  2. I have made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the two years prior to the date below.
  3. I am working, or have worked in the two years prior to the date below, in a professional capacity in the private equity sector or in the provision of finance for small and medium enterprises.
  4. I am currently, or have been in the two years prior to the date below, a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least £1 million.

High Net Worth Investor

I qualify as a High Net Worth Investor because at least one of the following applies to me:

  1. I had, throughout the financial year immediately preceding the date below, an annual income to the value of £100,000 or more. Annual income for these purposes does not include money withdrawn from my pension savings (except where the withdrawals are used directly for income in retirement).
  2. I held, throughout the financial year immediately preceding the date below, net assets to the value of £250,000 or more. Net assets for these purposes do not include:
    • (a) the property which is my primary residence or any money raised through a loan secured on that property; or
    • (b) any rights of mine under a qualifying contract of insurance; or
    • (c) any benefits (in the form of pensions or otherwise) which are payable on the termination of my service or on my death or retirement and to which I am (or my dependants are), or may be, entitled; or
    • (d) any withdrawals from my pension savings (except where the withdrawals are used directly for income in retirement).

I accept that the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the money or other property invested. I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from an authorised person who specialises in advising on non-mainstream pooled investments.
