Important Information<br />
Investment in the Company will involve certain risks and special considerations. Investors should be able<br />
and willing to withstand the loss of their entire investment. The investments of the Company are subject<br />
to normal market fluctuations and the risks inherent in all investments and there can be no assurance<br />
that an investment will retain its value or that appreciation will occur. The price of Shares and the<br />
income from such Shares can go down as well as up and the investors may not realise the value of their<br />
initial investment.<br />

with the offering or sale of Shares other than those contained in this Prospectus and, if issued, given<br />
or made, such advertisement, information or representation must not be relied upon as having been<br />
authorised by the Company.<br />
