We refer to the account opened or to be opened with Altive Limited (“Altive”, “We”, “Us”).

The Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”), Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) and Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) have imposed certain rules and restrictions in dealing with investors in Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia respectively. Generally, an investor will be covered by certain requirements and protections under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (CAP 571D) (“SFO”), Corporations Act 2001 of Australia (“Corporations Act”) and Securities and Futures Act of Singapore (“SFA”) which, however, will be relaxed if a customer is categorized as a Professional Investor, Wholesale Client or Qualified Investor as defined by the SFO, Corporations Act and SFA respectively.

For the purposes of this Notice, the term “Professional Investor” shall carry the meaning including “Professional Investor” as defined under the SFO, “Qualified Investor” as defined under the SFA, and “Wholesale Clients” as defined under the Corporations Act.

Hong Kong

You are regarded as a Professional Investor in Hong Kong if you are:-

1. an individual having a portfolio of liquid assets (including but not limited to cash, deposits, securities) more than HKD 8 million at the date of registration. The portfolio provided may be in the form of: -

1. a portfolio of your own account;
2. a portfolio on a joint account with the your spouse or child(ren);
3. your share of a portfolio on a joint account with one or more persons other than the your spouse or child(ren) where a written agreement is provided;
4. a portfolio of a corporation which, on the registration date, has its principal business the holding of investments and is wholly owned by the individual;

2. a trust corporation having been entrusted under one or more trusts with total assets of not less than HKD 40 million at the date of registration;
3. a corporation having a portfolio of not less than HKD 8 million or total assets of not less than HKD 40 million at the relevant date;
4. a corporation which, at the date of registration, has as its principal business the holding of investments and is wholly owned by any one or more of the persons falling within the definition of professional investors mentioned above, or wholly owns a corporation referred to above; or
5. a partnership having a portfolio of not less than HKD 8 million or total asset of not less than HKD 40 million at the date of registration.

Australia

You are qualified as a Wholesale Client in Australia if you are:-

1. a person purchasing a financial product, or a financial service related to a financial product, where the value of the product is above the prescribed threshold (currently set by the Corporations Regulations at AUD 500,000);
2. a person with certified net assets of at least AUD 2.5 million or a person who had a gross income for each of the past two financial years of at least AUD 250,000; or
3. a ‘professional investor’. This category includes AFS licensees, listed entities, banks and friendly societies, and other entities that may be presumed to have the expertise or access to professional advice to justify their being treated as wholesale.

Singapore

You are qualified as a Qualified Investor if you are either an Accredited Investor or an Institution Investor.

In order to qualify as an Accredited Investor, you have to be:

1. an individual with net personal assets exceeding SGD 2 million in value, of which the net value of the individual's primary place of residence can only contribute up to SGD 1 million;
2. an individual with an income of not less than SGD 300,000 in the past 12 months;
3. an individual with net financial assets (including but not limited to any deposit in a financial institution, capital market product, life policy) exceeding SGD 1 million in value;
4. a corporation with net assets exceeding SGD 10 million in value in their most recent balance sheet or their balance-sheet certified by the corporation as giving a true and fair view of its state of affairs as of the date of the balance-sheet.

The stated requirements above are subject to change, and we may also offer you investment opportunities if you are trustee of such trust as MAS may prescribe, when acting in that capacity; or such other person as MAS may prescribe.

We may require additional information from you if the need arises. If your portfolio does hold assets that are not in the required type of currency under the respective jurisdiction, we will assess its equivalent value at the date of registration.

We may also be required to verify your position as a Professional Investor by requesting any one or more of the following documents, including but not limited to: -

1. Your most recent audited financial statement prepared within 16 months before the registration date in respect of your individual portfolio or corporation;
2. Any one or more of the following documents issued or submitted within 12 months before the registration date:

1. a statement of account or a certificate issued by a bank/custodian;
2. a certificate issued by an auditor or a certified public accountant;
3. a public filing submitted by or on behalf of your corporation;

As a result of this Professional Investor categorization, we may offer you certain investment opportunities which are only available to a Professional Investor. However, we are not required to fulfill certain requirements under the Code of Conduct for Persons Licensed by or Registered with the Securities and Futures Commission and certain other regulations implemented in Hong Kong.
