Basis of Access

Access to these materials is being made available on this website by Stone-Bird Investments in good faith and for information purposes only. Any person seeking access to this website represents and warrants to Stone-Bird Investments that they are doing so for information purposes only.

Neither any press announcement nor any other document made available on this website constitutes an offer to sell, an invitation to induce an offer or the solicitation of an offer to acquire, securities and/or financial services and cannot be relied upon for any investment contract or decision.

Further, such documents do not constitute a recommendation by Stone-Bird Investments or any other party to sell or buy securities and/or financial services with Stone-Bird Investments.

Unless otherwise determined by Stone-Bird Investments and permitted by applicable law and regulation, copies of the contents of the following pages (including documents posted thereon) are not being, and must not be, released or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa, the United States or any other jurisdictions where their extension or availability (and/or any transaction contemplated thereby) would breach any applicable law, and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not distribute or send them in, into or from Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa, the United States or any other jurisdiction where to do so would breach any applicable law.

South African Resident Restrictions

In particular individuals or private entities resident in South Africa are not permitted to access to our financial services unless an individual and/or a representative of a South African company would send to us an official letter in the form of LOI (Letter of Intent) or other similar format requesting for financial information by their own initiative only. This LOI letter must be edited in accordance and in compliance with the “reverse solicitation”/”reverse enquiry” rules (and/or the “non solicitation rules”) to be applied in South Africa territory to some financial services that our group can serve as agent of international financial group acting as foreign Asset Manager and/or foreign financial instrument providers. Only in the event our group would receive such “reverse solicitation letter”/”reverse enquiry letter”/”non solicitation letter” (all of these format letters are eligible as equivalent) in advance, then and only in such a case, South African entities can have the opportunity to possibly be evaluated for accessing to some of the financial services provided and managed from abroad of the South African territory. By the moment of receiving the “reverse solicitation letter”/”reverse enquiry letter”/”non solicitation letter” from a South African person (or entity) then any contact, meeting, correspondence, contract between parties shall be taken abroad and/or shall be considered as taken abroad of the South African territory. Also any payment or transfer for financial services must be sent or received from/in bank accounts held in foreign countries out of the South Africa territory.

NON-SOLICITATION, NON-DISCLOSURE AND LICENCE EXEMPTION

Stone-Bird Investments acts and operates on a Private Placement scenario and environment only. As a direct consequence of the Private Placement environment, any and all of the international rules and terms about Private Placement apply. Also “Non Solicitation” regulation has to be strictly followed by all of the involved parties. This factor strongly influences the way the parties and actors can deal with each other and the way they can make contact. All of the documents contains very explicit “non- circumvention” and “non-disclosure clauses” forbidding the contracting parties from discussing any aspect of the transaction for a period of several years. In respect of these “Non-Disclosure” clauses, Stone-Bird Investments cannot disclose and/or provide any information about previous private transactions and/or in respect of any historical financial achievements: accredited Clients are therefore requested to acknowledge such requirements of Stone-Bird Investments and to strictly follow the consequent rules and requirements for any matters during the due diligence stage and/or any other phase/stage.

It is also worth noting that due to the fact that Stone-Bird Investments:

1. acts and operates on a Private Placement scenario and environment only and:
2. acts and/or can act as “Agent” for foreign companies that provide foreign financial services worldwide to accredited investors and/or to persons acting upon their own initiative only (“reverse solicitation letter”/”reverse enquiry letter”/”non solicitation letter”, etc);
3. that it shall be always mandatory to any prospective Client to fully adhere in advance to the rules of “non solicitation” and/or of any equivalent requirement as “reverse solicitation”/”reverse enquiry” providing signed documentation with full commitment in advance to Stone-Bird Investments for foreign investments;
4. that the application of such regulations is made in full accordance to any country requirements (in respect of the Client residence);

Then and therefore as a direct consequence, Stone-Bird Investments is not required to be licenced by the international authorities and/or local authorities (i.e FAIS, etc.) being exempt of any financial licence requirement due to the specific strict very private nature and private regulation object of all of the services provided by Stone-Bird Investments and being therefore Stone-Bird Investments subject only to the requirements as explained in this Disclaimer page without any involvement of licence requirements whatsoever (neither on an international basis nor on a local basis upon satisfying the local rules fully performed by Stone-Bird Investments when required or requested in full compliance of the rules explained in this Disclaimer page).
