This Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth below by and between the undersigned (the “Subscriber”) and the Company and is intended to set forth certain representations, covenants and agreements between Subscriber and the Company with respect to the offering (the “Offering”) for sale by the Company of the Class A Interests as described in the Company’s offering circular (the “Offering Circular”), a copy of which has been delivered to Subscriber. The Class A Interests are also referred to herein as the “Securities” or “Class A Units.”
Investing in securities represented by the Class A Units of PRC Equity Fund I, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Company”) involves significant risks. This investment is suitable only for persons who can afford to lose their entire investment and such investment could be illiquid for an indefinite period of time. No public market currently exists for the Class A Units and if a public market develops following this offering, it may not continue.
The Class A Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities or blue sky laws and are being offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities or blue sky laws. Although an offering statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), that offering statement does not include the same information that would be included in a registration statement under the Securities Act. The Class A Units have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission or other regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon the merits of this offering or the adequacy or accuracy of the offering circular or any other materials or information made available to subscriber in connection with this offering, through the online website platform at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx (the “Portal”), or the SEC’s XXXXX website at xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxx/.
No sale may be made to persons who are not “accredited investors” if the aggregate purchase price is more than 10% of the greater of such investors’ annual income or net worth. The Company is relying on the representations and warranties set forth by each subscriber in this Subscription Agreement and the other information provided by subscriber in connection with this offering to determine compliance with this requirement.
Prospective investors may not treat the contents of this Regulation A+ Subscription Agreement, the offering circular or any of the other materials available (collectively, the “Offering Materials”) or any prior or subsequent communications from the Company or any of its affiliates, officer, employees or agents as investment, legal or tax advice. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Company and the terms of this offering, including the merits and the risks involved. Each prospective investor should consult the investor’s own counsel, accountant and other professional advisor as to investment, legal, tax and other related matters concerning the investor’s proposed investment.
The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion and for any reason whatsoever to modify, amend and/or withdraw all or a portion of the offering and/or accept or reject in whole or in part any prospective investment in the Class A Units or to allot to any prospective investor less than the amount of Class A Units such investor desires to purchase.
Except as otherwise indicated, the Offering Materials speak as of their date. Neither the delivery nor the purchase of the Class A Units shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Company since that date.
