Guidance on Accredited Investor Exemptions for Individuals
An individual accredited investor is an individual:
(a) | who, either alone or with a spouse, beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets are) having an aggregate realizable value that. before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds $1,000,000; |
(b) | whose net income before taxes exceeded $200,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years or whose net income before taxes combined with that of a spouse exceeded $300,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years and who, in either case, reasonably expects to exceed that net income level in the current calendar year; |
(c) | who, either alone or with a spouse, has net assets (please see the guidance below regarding calculating net assets) of at least $5,000,000; or |
Page 17 of 45
(d) | who beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets are) having an aggregate realizable value that, before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds $5,000,000. |
The monetary thresholds above are intended to create bright-line standards. Subscribers who do not satisfy these monetary thresholds do not qualify as accredited investors.
Spouses
Sections (a), (b) and (c) above are designed to treat spouses as a single investing unit, so that either spouse qualifies as an accredited investor if the combined financial assets of both spouses exceed $1,000,000, the combined net income of both spouses exceeds $300,000, or the combined net assets of both spouses exceed $5,000,000. Section (d) above does not treat spouses as a single investing unit.
If the combined net income of both spouses does not exceed $300,000, but the net income of one of the spouses exceeds $200,000, only the spouse whose net income exceeds $200,000 qualifies as an accredited investor.
Financial Assets and Related Liabilities
For the purposes of Sections (a) and (d) above, “financial assets” means: (1) cash, (2) securities, or (3) a contract of insurance, a deposit or an evidence of a deposit that is not a security for the purposes of securities legislation. These financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. The value of a subscriber’s personal residence is not included in a calculation of financial assets.
The calculation of financial assets must exclude “related liabilities”, meaning: (1) liabilities incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing the acquisition or ownership of financial assets, or (2) liabilities that are secured by financial assets.
As a general matter, it should not be difficult to determine whether financial assets are beneficially owned by an individual, an individual’s spouse, or both, in any particular instance. However, in the case where financial assets are held in a trust or in another type of investment vehicle for the benefit of an individual, there may be questions as to whether the individual beneficially owns the financial assets. The following factors are indicative of beneficial ownership of financial assets:
● | physical or constructive possession of evidence of ownership of the financial asset; |
● | entitlement to receipt of any income generated by the financial asset; |
● | risk of loss of the value of the financial asset; and |
● | the ability to dispose of the financial asset or otherwise deal with it as the individual sees fit. |
For example, securities held in a self-directed RRSP for the sole benefit of an individual are beneficially owned by that individual.
In general, financial assets in a spousal RRSP can be included for the purposes of the $1,000,000 financial asset test in Section (a) above because Section (a) takes into account financial assets owned beneficially by a spouse. However, financial assets in a spousal RRSP cannot be included for purposes of the $5,000,000 financial asset test in Section (d) above.
Financial assets held in a group RRSP under which the individual does not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly do not meet the beneficial ownership requirements in either Sections (a) or (d) above.
Page 18 of 45
Net Assets
For the purposes of Section (c) above, “net assets” means all of a subscriber’s total assets minus all of the subscriber’s total liabilities. Accordingly, for the purposes of the net asset test, the calculation of total assets includes the value of a subscriber’s personal residence, and the calculation of total liabilities includes the amount of any liability (such as a mortgage) in respect of the subscriber’s personal residence.
To calculate a subscriber’s net assets under the net asset test, subtract the subscriber’s total liabilities from the subscriber’s total assets. The value attributed to assets should reasonably reflect their estimated fair value. Income tax is considered a liability if the obligation to pay it is outstanding at the time of the distribution of the security to the subscriber by the Issuer.

INDIVIDUAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
THIS EXHIBIT “C” IS TO BE COMPLETED BY ACCREDITED INVESTORS WHO ARE INDIVIDUALS SUBSCRIBING UNDER CATEGORIES (J), (J.1), (K) OR (L) IN OF THE DEFINITION OF “ACCREDITED INVESTOR”.
Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit “C” shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Subscription Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.
I understand that in order to be accepted as an “accredited investor” under categories (j), (k) OR (l) of the definition of “accredited investor” in NI 45-106, I must satisfy certain of the following criteria. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer as follows:
1. Personal Data.
Name:_______________________________________________________________________________
Telephone:___________________________________________________________________________
Residence Address:________________________________________________________________________
2. Definitions. Please review the following definitions prior to completing the information below:
a) | “financial assets” means cash, securities or a contract of insurance, a deposit or evidence of deposit that is not a security for the purposes of securities legislation. These financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. The value of a purchaser’s personal residence would not be included in a calculation of financial assets. |
b) | “related liabilities” means: (i) liabilities incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing the acquisition or ownership of financial assets; or (ii) liabilities that are secured by financial assets. |
c) | “net assets” means all of the purchaser’s total assets minus all of the purchaser’s total liabilities. Accordingly, for the purposes of the net asset test, the calculation of total assets would include the value of a purchaser’s personal residence and the calculation of total liabilities would include the amount of any liability (such as a mortgage) in respect of the purchaser’s personal residence. To calculate a purchaser’s net assets, subtract the purchaser’s total liabilities from the purchaser’s total assets (including real estate). The value attributed to assets should reasonably reflect their estimated fair value. Income tax should be considered a liability if the obligation to pay it is outstanding at the time of the distribution of the security. |
