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 will receive an offering memorandum

Read the offering memorandum carefully because it has important information about the issuer and its securities. Keep the offering memorandum because you have rights based on it. Talk to a lawyer for details about these rights.

You will not receive advice  [Instruction:  Delete if sold by registrant]

You will not get professional advice about whether the investment is suitable for you. But you can still seek that advice from a registered adviser or investment dealer.  In Alberta, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, Québec and Saskatchewan to qualify as an eligible investor, you may be required to obtain that advice.  Contact the Investment Dealers Association of Canada (website at www.ida.ca) for a list of registered investment dealers in your area.

The securities you are buying are not listed[Instruction:  Delete if securities are listed or quoted]

The securities you are buying are not listed on any stock exchange, and they may never be listed. You may never be able to sell these securities.

The issuer of your securities is a non-reporting issuer  [Instruction: Delete if issuer is reporting]

A non-reporting issuer does not have to publish financial information or notify the public of changes in its business. You may not receive ongoing information about this issuer.

For more information on the exempt market, call your local securities regulatory authority.  [Instruction: Insert the name, telephone number and website address of the securities regulatory authority in the jurisdiction in which you are selling these securities.]

[Instruction:  The purchaser must sign 2 copies of this form.  The purchaser and the issuer must each receive a signed copy.]
