Risk Acknowledgement - Saskatchewan Close Personal Friends and Close Business Associates

 

I acknowledge that this is a risky investment:

 

I am investing entirely at my own risk.
No securities regulatory authority has evaluated or endorsed the merits of these securities.
The person selling me these securities is not registered with a securities regulatory authority and has no duty to tell me whether this investment is suitable for me.
I will not be able to sell these securities for 4 months.
I could lose all the money I invest.
I do not have a 2-day right to cancel my purchase of these securities or the statutory rights of action for misrepresentation I would have if I were purchasing the securities under a prospectus.

 

I am investing $                                        [total consideration] in total; this includes any amount I am obliged to pay in future.

 

I am a close personal friend or close business associate of                                                                                         [state name], who is a                                                                                 [state title - founder, director, executive officer or control person] of                                                                            [state name of issuer or its affiliate – if an affiliate state “an affiliate of the issuer” and give the issuer’s name].

You are buying Exempt Market Securities

 

They are called exempt market securities because two parts of securities law do not apply to them. If an issuer wants to sell exempt market securities to you:

 

the issuer does not have to give you a prospectus (a document that describes the investment in detail and gives you some legal protections), and
the securities do not have to be sold by an investment dealer registered with a securities regulatory authority.

 

There are restrictions on your ability to resell exempt market securities. Exempt market securities are more risky than other securities.

 

You may not receive any written information about the issuer or its business

 

If you have any questions about the issuer or its business, ask for written clarification before you purchase the securities. You should consult your own professional advisers before investing in the securities.

 

You will not receive advice.

 

Unless you consult your own professional advisors, you will not get professional advice about whether the investment is suitable for you.

 

For more information on the exempt market, refer to the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission’s website at http://www.sfsc.gov.sk.ca.
