The content of this website may be restricted in certain jurisdictions. Accordingly, recipients must inform themselves of, and observe, such restrictions, including legal, tax, foreign exchange or other restrictions in their relevant jurisdictions. In particular we draw your attention to the restrictions in the following jurisdictions:

• In South Africa, the information is being distributed by Sanari Capital (Pty) Ltd (FSP Licence Number 45074) and Sanari Growth Partners (Pty) Ltd (FSP Licence Number 45672). The Funds managed and advised by Sanari are generally not registered “collective investment schemes” under the Collective Investment Scheme Control Act, 2002, and nothing in this Document should be construed as constituting offering to “members of the public” an opportunity to invest in a collective investment scheme in South Africa. Sanari Capital (Pty) Ltd and Sanari Growth Partners (Pty) Ltd are authorised to render financial services under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 2002.
• In those member states of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) which have implemented the EU Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (Directive 2011/61/EU)) (“AIFMD”) and which have established transitional arrangements in relation to marketing for which any funds managed by Sanari may qualify, marketing of any Sanari managed funds in a member state which was permitted prior to the implementation of the AIFMD may continue until the expiry of those transitional arrangements. In those member states which have implemented AIFMD but in which transitional arrangements are not/ no longer available, Sanari managed funds will only be offered in a member state to the extent that these funds: (1) are permitted to be marketed into the relevant member state pursuant to Article [36][42] of the AIFMD (as implemented into local law); or (ii) can otherwise be lawfully offered or sold (including at the initiative of investors).
• In the United Kingdom, the Funds managed and advised by Sanari are not recognised collective investment schemes for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom (the “Act”). The information is being issued to, and/or is directed at, persons to or at whom it may lawfully be issued or directed under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order2005 including persons who are authorised under the Act (“authorised persons”), certain persons having professional experience in matters relating to investments, high net worth companies, high net worth unincorporated associations or partnerships, trustees of high value trusts and persons who qualify as certified sophisticated investors. The Funds managed and advised by Sanari are only available to such persons in the United Kingdom and this document must not be relied or acted upon by any other persons in the United Kingdom.
• The Shares in the Funds managed and advised by Sanari have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“US Securities Act”) or any US state securities laws or blue sky laws, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (i) to a person who the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the US Securities Act, purchasing for their own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A; (ii) in an offshore transaction complying with the provisions of Regulation S under the US Securities Act; (iii) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the US Securities Act provided by Rule 144 there under if available; (iv) pursuant to any other available exemption from registration under the US Securities Act; (v) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the US Securities Act; or (vi) to an accredited Investor, as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the US Securities Act and in accordance with all applicable US state securities laws. No representation can be made as to the availability of the exemption provided by Rule 144 for resale of the Shares in the Funds managed and advised by Sanari. The Shares in the Funds managed and advised by Sanari are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the US Securities Act and may not be sold or transferred except in a transaction or transactions registered under the US Securities Act and such state securities laws as may be required, or in a transaction or transactions exempt from such registration requirements.

Each Investor will be required to make customary private placement representations, including that such Investor is acquiring the Shares in the Funds managed and advised by Sanari for its own account for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution. Further, each Investor must be prepared to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Shares in the Funds managed and advised by Sanari for an indefinite period of time, since the Shares in the Funds managed and advised by Sanari cannot be transferred or resold except as permitted under the US Securities Act and any applicable state or non-US securities laws pursuant to registration or an exemption there from. It is extremely unlikely that Shares in the Funds managed and advised by Sanari will ever be registered under the US Securities Act. In addition, the Funds managed and advised by Sanari are not subject to registration as an “investment company” as defined in the US Investment Company Act in reliance upon the exemption specified in (i) Section 3(c)(1) for issuers whose securities are not beneficially owned by more than 100 persons and/or persons who are not “US Persons” as defined under Regulation S of the US Securities Act of 1933; and/or (ii) Section 3(c)(7) for issuers whose securities are owned exclusively by “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the US Investment Company Act and/ or persons who are not “US Persons” as defined under Regulation S of the US Securities Act of 1933. Each Investor will be subject to representations and restrictions on transfer designed to assure that it will qualify for such exemptions.

In other jurisdictions, restrictions on the distribution of this document and the availability of investments in the Funds managed and advised by Sanari also apply. The Funds managed and advised by Sanari are not authorised deposit taking institutions for the purposes of the Banking Act (Cwth) 1959.

The law of South Africa will govern this website and the use of this website and the South African courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to it. To the extent that any, or any part, of these conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, such conditions (or parts thereof) shall to that extent be severed from the remaining terms which shall remain in full force and effect as permitted by law.
