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 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 advisors, 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 xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx.xx.
