Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor

I declare that I am a self-certified sophisticated investor for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act (Financial Promotion) Order 2005.

I understand that this means:
• I can receive financial promotions that may not have been approved by a person authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority;
• The content of such financial promotions may not conform to rules issued by the Financial Conduct Authority
• I may lose significant rights
• I may have no right to complain to either of the following:
(i) the Financial Conduct Authority; or
(ii) the Financial Ombudsman Scheme;
• I may have no right to seek compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

I am a self-certified sophisticated investor because at least one of the following applies: • 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;
• I have made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the two years prior to the date below;
• 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;
• 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.

I accept that I can lose my property and other assets invested from making investment decisions based on financial promotions.

I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from someone who specialises in advising on investments.

High Net Worth Individual

I make this statement so that I can receive promotional communications which are exempt from the restriction on the promotion of non-readily realisable securities. The exemption relates to certified high net worth investors and I declare that I qualify as such because at least one of the following applies to me:
• I had, throughout the financial year immediately preceding the date below, an annual income to the value of £100,000 or more.
• 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.
(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.

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-readily realisable securities.
