I make this statement so I can receive promotional communications exempt from the restriction of promotion of non-readily realisable securities relating to certified high net worth investors. I declare I qualify as such because at least one of the following applies to me throughout the last financial year:

• I had during the financial year immediately preceding the date below an annual income to the value of £100,000 (one hundred thousand pounds) or more. This excludes money withdrawn from my pension (except where the withdrawals are used directly for income in retirement;
• I held, throughout the financial year immediately preceding the date below, net assets to the value of £250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand pounds) or more.

Net assets for these purposes do not include:

• the property which is my primary residence, or any loan secured on that residence;
• any rights of mine under a qualifying contract of insurance or pension 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
• any withdrawals from my pension savings (except where the withdrawals are used directly for income in retirement).

I understand that by being a self-certified high net worth individual 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 issues by the Financial Conduct Authority;
• By signing this statement I may lose significant rights;
• I may have no right to complain to either of the following:
• the Financial Conduct Authority; or
• the Financial Ombudsman Scheme

I may have no right to seek compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. I accept that the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to significant risk of losing all of the money or other property invested and I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from someone who specialises in advising on this kind of investment.

I declare I am a self-certified sophisticated investor for the purposes of the restriction on promotion of non-readily realisable securities. I understand this means I can receive promotional communications that may not have been approved by a person authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority which relate to investments in non-readily realisable securities. 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.
