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 or regulator 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 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 do have a 2-day right to cancel my purchase of these securities if I receive an amended offering document.

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].

Sign 2 copies of this document.  Keep one copy for your records.

 

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 or regulator.

  

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 advisers, 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.

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES.  THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ONLY (A) TO THE ISSUER; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT; (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AFTER, IN THE CASE OF PARAGRAPH (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT.  DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE GOOD DELIVERY IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON CANADIAN STOCK EXCHANGES."

 

               

(l)            

It understands and agrees that the Warrants may be exercised only in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws; that certificates representing the Warrants may bear a legend to such effect; and that prior to the issuance of Warrant Shares the Issuer may require the delivery of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing or other evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that such issuance is not required to be registered under the U.S. Securities Act.

 

 

 

 

(m)

It understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to the Subscriber of an acquisition or disposition of any of the Securities, and that the Issuer gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the Subscriber (or any beneficial purchaser) under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the Subscriber’s acquisition or disposition of such Securities, including, without limitation, with respect to the potential applicability of United States federal income taxation rules relating to “passive foreign investment companies” and “qualified electing fund” elections. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Issuer has not made any determination as to whether it will be deemed to be a “passive foreign investment company” in respect of the current year or any future year, and that if the Issuer were to be deemed to be a “passive foreign investment company” in respect of any year in which the Subscriber owns any Securities, there may be material adverse tax consequences to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber may not be able to mitigate such adverse tax consequences.

 

 

 

 

(n)

It understands and acknowledges that the Issuer is incorporated outside the United States and most or all of its assets are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult to provide service of process on the Issuer, and it may be difficult to enforce any judgment against the Issuer.

 

 

 

 

(o)

It understands that (i) if the Issuer is ever determined to be an issuer that is, or that has been at any time previously, an issuer with no or nominal operations and no or nominal assets other than cash and cash equivalents, Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act may not be available for resales of the Securities, and (ii) the Issuer is not obligated to take, and has no present intention of taking, any action to make Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act (or any other exemption) available for resales of the Securities.

 

 

 

 

(p)

It understands and agrees that the financial statements of the Issuer have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and therefore may be materially different from financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and therefore may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

 

 

 

 

(q)

It consents to the Issuer making a notation on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent for the Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described in this Representation Letter and the Subscription Agreement to which it is attached.
