Disclosures

I acknowledge and agree:
  1. To refer to the opt-in process for “accredited investors”, as defined under the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore (the “SFA”).
  2. Understand that I/we have declared to you, on the basis of the information or supporting documents that have been provided to you or the financial assets that will be transferred to you when my/our account is opened, to be a person mentioned in section 4A(1)(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the SFA (as per Accredited Investor Declaration table), and am/are hence eligible to opt into the “accredited investor” status.
  3. Confirm that I have read and understood the General Warning and consent to be treated as an Accredited Investor after being informed of the effects of becoming an Accredited Investor.
  4. Know that I may at any time withdraw my consent to be treated as an accredited investor. If I wish to opt out of the Accredited Investor status, I shall inform ADS in writing. Do note that ADS may take approximately 14 days to process your request. ADS will notify you once your request has been processed and your investor status has been updated in ADS’s records. Until such time, you would still be considered an AI.
  5. Hereby declare that all documents that are to be provided are correct, true, and accurate and I have not willfully withheld any material fact.
  6. Acknowledge and confirm that ADS shall be entitled to rely on the information that I provide and that ADS has the sole and absolute discretion to determine if I have met the criteria required to qualify as an accredited investor.
  7. Agree to provide additional supporting documents to ADS as may be required for my assessment, upon request.
  8. Endeavor to notify ADS immediately should there be any changes in my circumstances which would result in a change of investor status.
General WarningAccredited investors are assumed to be better informed, and better able to access resources to protect their own interests, and therefore require less regulatory protection. Investors who agree to be treated as accredited investors therefore forgo the benefit of certain regulatory safeguards. For example, issuers of securities are exempted from issuing a full prospectus registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore in respect of offers that are made only to accredited investors, and intermediaries are exempted from a number of business conduct requirements when dealing with accredited investors. Investors should consult a professional adviser if they do not understand any consequence of being treated as an accredited investor.
