f. | Subscriber Relationship with Brokers. The Subscriber’s substantive relationship with a broker, if any, for the transactions contemplated hereby, or subagent thereof (collectively, “Brokers”), through which a Subscriber may be subscribing for the Units predates such Broker’s contact with the Subscriber regarding an investment in the Units. |
g. | Solicitation. The Subscriber is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with the offering and sale of the Units and is not subscribing for the Units and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Subscriber was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection with investments in securities generally. |
13 |
h. | Brokerage Fees. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Subscriber has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby. |
i. | Subscriber’s Advisors. The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”), as the case may be, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Units to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto. |
j. | Subscriber Liquidity. Each Subscriber has adequate means of providing for such Subscriber’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Units for an indefinite period of time, and after purchasing the Units, the Subscriber will be able to provide for any foreseeable current needs and possible personal contingencies. The Subscriber must bear and acknowledges the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Units including the risk of illiquidity and the risk of a complete loss of this investment. |
k. | High Risk Investment. The Subscriber is aware that an investment in the Units involves a number of very significant risks and has carefully researched and reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of the Units, including but not limited to the Company’s disclosure that the Company believes that it only has sufficient liquidity to fund operations into May 2017, and that, even with receipt of funds from this Offering, the Company will require additional capital, without which the Company will be required to downsize or wind down its operations through liquidation, bankruptcy, or a sale of its assets. Subscriber acknowledges that, among other things, while the Company and its subsidiaries shall have entered into the Security Agreement with the Subscriber and the Collateral Agent, pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries shall have granted and conveyed to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Subscriber, a security interest in intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries, at all times that the Subscriber’s Note remains outstanding, which shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, neither the Company nor the Collateral Agent has and neither of them intends to take any action to perfect any security interest in any intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries in any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America. |
l. | Reliance on Exemptions. Each Subscriber understands that the Units are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Subscriber to acquire the Units. |
14 |
m. | Information. Each Subscriber and its Advisors have been furnished with all documents and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries and information that such Subscriber requested and deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding such Subscriber’s purchase of the Units and the underlying securities. Each Subscriber and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials, as well as the Company’s SEC Filings, as such term is defined below (hard copies of which were made available to the Subscriber upon request to the Company or were otherwise accessible to the Subscriber via the SEC’s XXXXX system), and the information contained therein. Each Subscriber and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Each Subscriber understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company and its subsidiaries, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ control. Additionally, each Subscriber understands and represents that such Subscriber is purchasing the Units notwithstanding the fact that the Company and its subsidiaries may disclose in the future certain material information the Subscriber has not received, including the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries for their current fiscal quarters. Neither such inquiries, nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Subscriber or its Advisors, shall modify, amend or affect such Subscriber’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 4 above. Each Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Units. |
n. | No Other Representations or Information. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Units, the Subscriber has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries, or otherwise, other than as stated in this Agreement, the Note, the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Security Agreement. No other oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the offering of the Units. |
o. | No Governmental Review. Each Subscriber understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units, or the fairness or suitability of the Units, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units. |
15 |
p. | Transfer or Resale. Each Subscriber understands that: (i) the Units and the underlying securities have not been and may not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) such Subscriber shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements; (ii) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (“Rule 144”) may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) the Company is not, and except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no other person is, under any obligation to register such securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares to the extent specifically set forth under this Agreement. There can be no assurance that there will be any market or resale for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, nor can there be any assurance that the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will be freely transferable at any time in the foreseeable future. |
q. | Legends. Each Subscriber understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates): |
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 OR 144A THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, (D) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR (E) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, IN EITHER CASE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.
16 |
The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to remove the legend set forth above from the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, and, within three (3) business days, shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) the Subscriber or its broker make the necessary representations and warranties to the transfer agent for the Common Stock that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements in connection with a sale transaction, provided the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, are registered under the Securities Act or (ii) in connection with an actual sale transaction, after such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, may be made without registration under the Securities Act.
r. | Authorization, Enforcement. The Subscriber has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to purchase the Units and underlying securities being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by such Subscriber and the consummation by Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Subscriber or Subscriber’s Board of Directors, stockholders, partners, members, as the case may be, is required. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (to the extent the Subscriber is party thereto) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subscriber and upon execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by the other parties hereto and thereto, constitute, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of such Subscriber enforceable against such Subscriber in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. |
s. | No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) if the Subscriber is not an individual, result in a violation of such Subscriber’s charter documents or bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which such Subscriber is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Subscriber or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Subscriber). Such Subscriber is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or to purchase the Units in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Subscriber is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein. |
17 |
t. | Receipt of Documents. Each Subscriber, its counsel and/or its Advisors have received and read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein; and (ii) all due diligence and other information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of such representations, warranties and covenants; each Subscriber has received answers to all questions such Subscriber submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and each Subscriber has relied on the information contained therein and has not been furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus. |
u. | Status as a Former Shell Company. Each Subscriber understands that the Company is a former “shell company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. The Company ceased to be a “shell company” on July 31, 2014, and filed Form 10 type information under cover of Form 8-K on August 6, 2014. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after such company (a) is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, such company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to resale under an effective registration statement. |
v. | Trading Activities. The Subscriber’s trading activities with respect to the Common Stock shall be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of the principal market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded. Neither the Subscriber nor its affiliates has an open short position in the Common Stock and, except as set forth below, the Subscriber shall not, and shall not cause any of its affiliates under common control with the Subscriber, to engage in any short sale as defined in any applicable SEC or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) rules or any hedging transactions with respect to the Common Stock until the earlier to occur of (i) the first anniversary of the initial Closing Date and (ii) the Subscriber no longer owns Notes, Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares. Without limiting the foregoing, the Subscriber agrees not to engage in any naked short transactions in excess of the amount of shares owned (or an offsetting long position) by the Subscriber. |
18 |
w. | Regulation FD. Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that certain of the information received by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is of a confidential nature and may be regarded as material non-public information under Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC and that such information has been furnished to the Subscriber for the sole purpose of enabling the Subscriber to consider and evaluate an investment in the Units. Each Subscriber further acknowledges that prior to receiving such information, Subscriber executed a confidentiality agreement or similar agreement with the Company. The Subscriber agrees that it will treat such information in a confidential manner, will not use such information for any purpose other than evaluating an investment in the Units, will not, directly or indirectly, trade or permit the Subscriber’s agents, representatives or affiliates to trade in any securities of the Company while in possession of material non-public information and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose or permit the Subscriber’s agents, representatives or affiliates to disclose any of such information without the Company’s prior written consent. The Subscriber shall make its agents, affiliates and representatives aware of the confidential nature of the information contained herein and the terms of this section including the Subscriber’s agreement to not disclose such information, to not trade in the Company’s securities while such information remains material non-public information and to be responsible for any disclosure or other improper use of such information by such agents, affiliates or representatives. Likewise, without the Company’s prior written consent, the Subscriber will not, directly or indirectly, make any statements, public announcements or other release or provision of information in any form to any trade publication, to the press or to any other person or entity whose primary business is or includes the publication or dissemination of information related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. |
x. | No Legal Advice from the Company. Each Subscriber acknowledges that it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with its own legal counsel and investment and tax Advisors. Each Subscriber is relying solely on such Advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its employees, representatives or agents for legal, tax, economic and related considerations or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction. |
y. | No Group Participation. Each Subscriber and its affiliates is not a member of any group, nor is any Subscriber acting in concert with any other person, including any other Subscriber, with respect to its acquisition of the Units and underlying securities. |
z. | Reliance. Any information which the Subscriber has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company or any Broker is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company and any Broker in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the offering of securities as described in this Agreement and the related summary term sheet and transmittal letter, if any. The Subscriber further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Units. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company or any Broker, the Subscriber will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company or any Broker is subject. |
19 |
aa. | (For ERISA plan Subscribers only). The fiduciary of the ERISA plan represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Subscriber fiduciary or plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Subscriber fiduciary or plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates; |
bb. | Anti-Money Laundering; OFAC. |
[The Subscriber should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx before making the following representations.] The Subscriber represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Units were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene U.S. federal or state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. U.S. federal regulations and executive orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx.

Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Subscriber become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Subscriber, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Subscriber, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and a Broker may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Subscriber’s identity to OFAC. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Subscriber, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Subscriber if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any Broker or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.
To the best of the Subscriber’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Subscriber; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Subscriber; (3) if the Subscriber is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Subscriber; or (4) any person for whom the Subscriber is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure2, or any immediate family3 member or close associate4 of a senior foreign political figure, as such terms are defined in the footnotes below.

Each Subscriber, for itself and on behalf of its affiliates, expressly waives any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest discussed in this paragraph and agrees that neither GPN nor the Collateral Agent or their affiliates, officers, directors or members shall have any liability to the Subscriber or its affiliates, and the Subscriber and its affiliates shall have no liability to GPN, the Collateral Agent or their affiliates, officers, directors or members, with respect to such conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest. |
2 | A “senior foreign political figure” is defined as a senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military or judicial branches of a foreign government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major foreign political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned corporation.

Subscriber acknowledges that none of the Collateral Agent Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Collateral Agent Related Person to Subscriber.

Subscriber also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Collateral Agent Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required by the Security Agreement or this Agreement to be furnished to the Subscriber by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide Subscriber with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of any of the Collateral Agent Related Persons. “Collateral Agent Related Persons” means the Collateral Agent and any successor agent arising hereunder or under the Security Agreement, together with their respective affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact of such persons and affiliates. |

19. Right of First Refusal.
a. | In the event that after the Offering Termination Date and prior to the date that is twelve (12) months following the initial Closing, the Company determines to offer for sale or to accept an offer to purchase any Company securities, including both debt and equity securities (the “Subsequent Offering Securities”), each Subscriber who previously purchased Units in the Offering (a “ROFR Holder”) shall have an option to purchase such ROFR Option Holder’s pro rata share of Subsequent Offering Securities on the same terms and conditions on which the Subsequent Offering Securities are proposed to be issued, as set forth in this Section (the “ROFR”). |
b. | The Company shall send to each ROFR Holder a written notice (the “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice shall set forth the material terms of the proposed sale of Subsequent Offering Securities and the number of Subsequent Offering Securities such ROFR Holder has the ROFR to purchase (such ROFR Holder’s “ROFR Amount”), which shall be a percentage of the total number of Subsequent Offering Securities proposed to be sold equal to (i) the total number of Units previously purchased by such ROFR Holder divided by (ii) the total number of Units previously sold by the Company; and the ROFR Notice shall include a copy of this Section. Each ROFR Holder wishing to exercise its ROFR on all or part of its ROFR Amount shall so notify the Company in writing within ten (10) Business Days after the Company’s transmittal of the ROFR Notice (a “ROFR Exercise Notice”). |
c. | If the amount of Subsequent Offering Securities elected to be purchased in all ROFR Exercise Notices is less than the total number set forth in the ROFR Notice, the Company may sell the excess shares to persons other than ROFR Holders, but only on substantially the same terms as set forth in the First ROFR Notice. ROFR Holders who have elected to purchase shares of Subsequent Offering Securities shall execute the subscription and other related agreements for the sale of the Subsequent Offering Securities, the closing of which shall occur as provided in such documents. |
d. | Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ROFR shall not apply to Company securities issued (i) pursuant to any merger, acquisition, stock or asset purchase, or business combination transactions involving the Company (a “Strategic Transaction”); or (ii) to any investors in connection with any such Strategic Transaction where the raising of capital is a condition to such transaction. |

Nothing contained herein and no action taken by the Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Subscription Agreements. The Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.
What is money laundering?
Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.
How big is the problem and why is it important?
The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.
What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?
Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.
