06 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Welcome to the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> 07Welcome to the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Dear Investor,We are pleased to introduce the <strong>Jenson</strong><strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> to you as a prospectiveInvestor. The <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> has beenestablished to give private investors exposureto creative, committed and ambitiousentrepreneurs and their start-up companies,which with the <strong>Fund</strong>’s investment maybecome the next “big things” in British andinternational business. <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP is acting asthe strategic and operations adviser to the<strong>Fund</strong> and is the appointed representative ofthe <strong>Fund</strong> Manager.With banks still reluctant to lend, partly as aresult of the current economic malaise, privateequity investment is now an increasinglyimportant source of capital for start-upsand with over three hundred thousand newbusinesses created in the last two years 1 , thereis a growing demand for capital and a poolof businesses ripe for investment. By launchingthe <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> with the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager, <strong>Jenson</strong> is well placed to exploit this.1According to the Office of National StatisticsOctober 2011 there were just over 2 millionbusinesses registered for VAT at the start of 2011 and14.7% of those were under 2 years oldhttp://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/bus-register/ukbusiness/2011/index.htmlInvesting in start-up businesses has alwayshad significant upside potential but hastraditionally been a hard market for privateinvestors to access. Moreover, investing instart-ups has always been perceived asbeing high risk. However, the government’sintroduction of the <strong>Seed</strong> EnterpriseInvestment Scheme (“S<strong>EIS</strong>”) to complementthe existing Enterprise Investment Scheme(“<strong>EIS</strong>”), in effect for tax year 2012/13 withits specific focus on small start-ups and itssubstantial tax benefits, reduces these risksand makes investing in start-up businessespotentially lucrative for private investors.The <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> is one of the firstinvestment funds to allow private investorsto take advantage of the reliefs offered byboth the S<strong>EIS</strong> and the <strong>EIS</strong> and this coupledwith its strategy of targeting a diverserange of high quality start-ups providesan early and attractive opportunity forprivate investors to invest in companies withsignificant growth potential.Investors will benefit from the expertise andexperience of <strong>Jenson</strong> and their integratedapproach to the management of the<strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>’s Investments incooperation with the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager. The<strong>Fund</strong> Manager is one of the UK’s leadingventure capital providers and fundmanagers with over twenty-five years ofsuccessful realisations.With the growing reputation of <strong>Jenson</strong> inthe corporate finance advisory sector anda wealth of experience in advising andproviding accountancy services and financedirectors to start-ups, <strong>Jenson</strong> is well placed tosource and evaluate promising investmentprospects for the <strong>Fund</strong> and to support the<strong>Fund</strong> Manager in evaluating and negotiatingcost-effective deals for investment. <strong>Jenson</strong>Solutions will work closely with the InvesteeCompanies during the term of the <strong>Fund</strong>’sInvestment, providing accountancy, strategy,financial planning and advisory services,the costs of which are normally beyond themeans of start-up businesses.In addition to the prospect of teamingup with <strong>Jenson</strong>’s corporate finance andbusiness experts, the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>’sappeal to prospective Investee Companiesshould be further boosted by the potentialto help secure, in certain situations, a larger<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment to follow up aninitial S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment when theInvestee Company has reached the stagewhere it requires further financing to grow.All investors in the <strong>Fund</strong> will be offered theopportunity to join the register of potentialco-investors. This will mean that as andwhen appropriate, Investors will have theopportunity of directly co-investing with the<strong>Fund</strong> in particular Investments.The <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> has alreadystarted to identify an attractive pipeline ofinvestment opportunities and is aiming toachieve a significant return of at least 30 percent internal rate of return (“IRR”) per annumnet of tax on every S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentand 21.5 per cent IRR net of tax reliefs on <strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investment.We are pleased to invite you to invest inthe <strong>Fund</strong>, therefore please find theapplication form on page 109 of thisInformation Memorandum.Yours sincerely,Paul Jenkinson,Managing Director of <strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions Ltdand designated member of<strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>ing Partners LLP

12 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Risk Factors 131. Risk FactorsProspective Investors should be aware thatthe value of an Investment in an InvesteeCompany can fluctuate. In addition, thereis no guarantee that the valuation of anInvestment will fully reflect the underlying netasset value or the ability to buy and sell theInvestment at that valuation.Investors should be fully aware of thehigh-risk nature of seed investments inearly stage companies. In addition, thestatements regarding taxation in thisdocument are merely a brief summary andshould not be viewed as constituting taxadvice. Representations in this InformationMemorandum with respect to Tax Reliefsrelate to the generic position of a UKresidentindividual tax-payer and do notamount to tax advice to any person.The information below does not purportto be exhaustive. Additional risks anduncertainties, not presently known to the<strong>Fund</strong> Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP, or which the<strong>Fund</strong> Manager currently deems immaterial,may also have an adverse effect onthe business of the Investee Companies.Investors should consider carefully whetheran investment in the <strong>Fund</strong> is suitablefor them in the light of the informationin this document and their personalcircumstances. If in any doubt whatsoever,an Investor should not invest in the <strong>Fund</strong>. Inany case, it is strongly recommended thatInvestors seek the advice of their financialadviser or other appropriately qualifiedprofessional adviser.1.1 Risks relating to theInvestee CompaniesSmall unquoted companiesInvestment in smaller, unquoted companies,by its nature, involves a high degree of risk.Proper information for determining their valueor the risks to which they are exposed mayalso not be available. Investment in suchcompanies can offer good investment returnsbut the market for their shares is often illiquidand uncertain by its nature. Consequently,such investment involves a higher degreeof risk than a portfolio of quoted shares.Realisation of investments in unquotedcompanies can be difficult and may takeconsiderable time. Investment in smallerand unquoted companies is likely to involvea higher degree of risk than investment inlarger companies and those traded on themain market of the London Stock Exchange.Smaller companies generally may havelimited product lines, markets or financialresources and may be more dependent ontheir management or key individuals thanlarger companies. Although the <strong>Fund</strong> mayreceive conventional venture capital rights inconnection with its investments, as a minorityinvestor it may not be in a position to fullyprotect the interests of Investors.No liquid market on a public exchangefor InvestmentsThere is no liquid market on any publicexchange or elsewhere, nor is there intendedto be such a market for Investments; as such,an Investment made through the <strong>Fund</strong> willnot be readily realisable.Dependent on investment opportunitiesThe level of returns from Investments may be lessthan expected if there is delay in the Investmentprogramme, such that all or part of the netproceeds of the <strong>Fund</strong> are held in cash or nearcash Investments for longer than expected,or if the returns obtained on Investments areless than planned, or if Investments cannot berealised at the expected time and values. Therecan be no guarantee that suitable Investmentopportunities will be identified in order to meetthe <strong>Fund</strong>’s objectives.<strong>Fund</strong> performanceThe performance of the <strong>Fund</strong> is dependent onthe ability of the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong>LLP to identify appropriate Investee Companiesand on the ability of the Investee Companiesto perform in line with their respective businessplans, from which their income may be lowerthan their costs. The number and the diversityof Investments will depend on the timing ofyour Contribution relative to the timing ofContributions by others. Early Investors in the<strong>Fund</strong> are likely to enjoy a greater number andmore diversity than later Investors.Regulatory changeLegal and regulatory changes could occurduring the life of the <strong>Fund</strong> that may adverselyaffect the <strong>Fund</strong> or its Investors. These mayinclude environmental, safety, labour andother regulatory and political authorities, orforce majeure acts, terrorist events, or otheroperating risks.The value of investments may fluctuateThe value of the <strong>Fund</strong>’s Investments maygo up or down. An Investor in the <strong>Fund</strong> maynot get back the full amount invested andconsequently may lose some or all of thefunds invested.Medium-long term investmentThe timing of exits from Investee Companiesmay take longer than anticipated. AnInvestment in the <strong>Fund</strong> should be considereda medium to long-term investment.SuitabilityThe performance of the <strong>Fund</strong> is dependenton the ability of the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and<strong>Jenson</strong> LLP to identify appropriate assetsand companies. Portfolio Companiesmay fail, Investments may be realised forsubstantially less than the acquisition cost,or they may be impossible to realise at all.Investee Companies may accept otherequity or debt capital which ranks higherthan the <strong>Fund</strong>’s Investments in an insolvencysituation. Investors should only considerinvesting if this is a risk they can afford tobear, having taken independent advice.Strategy of Investee CompanyThe <strong>Fund</strong> will in a number of cases takeminority positions in Investee Companies.Although minority investor protections will besought at the time of Investment, there canbe no guarantee that the <strong>Fund</strong> will materiallyinfluence the strategy and decision makingof the Investee Company if other Investorsholding a larger stakes hold different views onthe future direction of the business.


14 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Risk Factors 15Retention of key directors or employeesSmall businesses are highly dependent on theskills of their management teams. The departureof any of an Investee Company’s directorsand/or key employees or the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager or<strong>Jenson</strong>’s directors and/or key employees couldhave a material adverse effect on the businessof the Investee Companies.No warranty on valuationsNo warranty is given on any valuationsprovided to Investors that any such valuationis capable of being attained on a realisationof the Investment.Past performanceThe past performance of the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong> and their respectivemanagement teams, or of investmentsmanaged by them, is not necessarily a guideto the future performance of the <strong>Fund</strong>.1.2 Risks relating to Investorsseeking Tax ReliefsThere are several circumstances in whichan Investor could cease to qualify for anyof the Tax Reliefs offered by the S<strong>EIS</strong> or <strong>EIS</strong>and as a result any tax which would havebeen payable to HMRC, but for the Investorsobtaining Tax Reliefs, could becomepayable. These circumstances may relate toan Investee Company ceasing to be a S<strong>EIS</strong>or <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Company or the Investorhimself/herself failing or ceasing to qualify forS<strong>EIS</strong> Relief or <strong>EIS</strong> Relief.Loss of CGT wipeout reliefCGT wipeout relief under the S<strong>EIS</strong> could belost if an Investor ceases to be resident in theUnited Kingdom within three years of makingan Investment through the <strong>Fund</strong>.Receipt of valueAn Investor could cease to qualify for theS<strong>EIS</strong> Relief or <strong>EIS</strong> Relief if he/she has receivedvalue from an Investee Company at any timesince its incorporation or within three years ofmaking his/her Investment through the <strong>Fund</strong>.Payment of a dividend, however, would nottypically be regarded as a receipt of value.Cessation of tradeIf an Investee Company ceases to carry on itsbusiness within three years of an Investment,this could prejudice its qualifying status underthe S<strong>EIS</strong> or <strong>EIS</strong>. The situation will be closelymonitored with a view to preserving theInvestee Company’s qualifying status but thiscannot be guaranteed.Failure to meet S<strong>EIS</strong> or <strong>EIS</strong> qualifyingrequirementsA failure to meet the qualifying requirementsfor the S<strong>EIS</strong> or <strong>EIS</strong> could result in:• the requirement for Investors to repay the 50per cent income tax relief under the S<strong>EIS</strong> or30 per cent under the <strong>EIS</strong> income receivedon subscription of shares in the InvesteeCompanies and interest on the same;• a liability to tax on capital gains followinga disposal of an Investment; and• any deferred gain crystallising in respectof an <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment or the lossof CGT wipeout relief in respect of S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investments.HMRC approvalIf available during the investment process,provisional approval will be sought fromHMRC that the Investee Companies and theiractivities should qualify under S<strong>EIS</strong> or <strong>EIS</strong>, andthat S<strong>EIS</strong> or <strong>EIS</strong> claims will be agreed. However,there is no guarantee that HMRC approvalwill not be subsequently withdrawn. In thosecircumstances, contributions will not be returnedto Investors. If HMRC approval is subsequentlywithdrawn, Tax Reliefs would not be available toInvestors or would be withdrawn.<strong>Fund</strong>ing requirementsUnder the S<strong>EIS</strong> rules, an Investee Company inwhich the <strong>Fund</strong> invests is required to have utilisedin its qualifying trade at least 70% of the amountit raises before the Investors can claim any S<strong>EIS</strong>Relief. In addition, the Investee Company mustuse all the remaining 30% of Investment moniesfor which S<strong>EIS</strong> Relief has been claimed withinthree years of the Investment being made.If an Investee Company fails to utilise these fundscorrectly, the Investee Company would be inbreach of the S<strong>EIS</strong> regulations and tax relief maybe unavailable or withdrawn.Under the <strong>EIS</strong> rules, an Investee Company inwhich the <strong>Fund</strong> invests is required to have utilisedall the Investment monies (after the deductionof issue costs) within 24 months of the date ofcommencing its trade. If an Investee Companyfails to utilise these funds within this deadline, theInvestee Company would be in breach of the<strong>EIS</strong> regulations and tax relief may be unavailableor withdrawn. The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager expectsInvestments to comply with the requirements toutilise their funds within the prescribed limits.Sale within three yearsA sale of an Investment within three yearsor (in the case of the <strong>EIS</strong> if later) within threeyears of commencing to trade where theInvestee Company was only preparing totrade at the time the Investment was madewill result in the S<strong>EIS</strong> or <strong>EIS</strong> income tax reliefavailable upon investment of those sharesbecoming repayable to HMRC and (in thecase of the <strong>EIS</strong>) any deferred gain would besubject to capital gains tax.The S<strong>EIS</strong> or <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment maybe realised at any timeThe <strong>Fund</strong> Manager retains complete discretionto realise an Investment at any time, even ifsome or all of the Tax Reliefs relating to thatInvestment may be lost. In making such arealisation, the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong>have no obligation to take into account the taxposition of Investors (individually or generally).


16 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Risk Factors 17Investors should take appropriateIndependent Professional AdviceIt is possible for Investors to lose their TaxReliefs by taking or not taking certain steps;Investors are advised to take appropriateindependent professional advice on the taxaspects of their Investment.No liability for loss of valueThe <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong> shall not beliable for any loss incurred by an Investor inrelation to value received by any personfrom any Investee Company or as a result ofa change in circumstances of an InvesteeCompany at any time.The information in this document is basedupon current taxation and other legislationand any changes in the legislation orin the levels and bases of, and reliefsfrom, taxation may affect the value of anInvestment in the Investee Company. Taxlegislation and HMRC practice are subjectto change at any time and the Tax Reliefsmay be amended or withdrawn. The taxreliefs referred to in this document are thosecurrently available and their value dependson the individual circumstances of Investors.1.3 <strong>Fund</strong> issuesThe <strong>Fund</strong> Manager reserves the right tocease to manage the <strong>Fund</strong> in certaincircumstances set out in the Investor’sAgreement, in which event it will try totransfer the Portfolios to another <strong>Fund</strong>Manager or to terminate the <strong>Fund</strong> in anexpeditious way, but there is a possibility thatthe Tax Reliefs may be lost.The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will seek to realiseInvestments and to terminate the <strong>Fund</strong>in an orderly fashion over a period of fiveyears to seven years from the final ClosingDate but it cannot be guaranteed that theInvestments made can easily be realisedwithin this period and, even where they canbe realised, that this can be done on anadvantageous basis.The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will normally ensure thatInvestments are allocated amongst Investorson a basis which is in proportion to theirrespective Contributions to the <strong>Fund</strong> but thiswill depend on the timing and availabilityof Investments with the result that a Portfoliocreated for a later Investor in the <strong>Fund</strong> maybe different to the Portfolio of an earlierInvestor. Conversely, an early Investor in the<strong>Fund</strong> may not have sufficient uninvestedcash in his/her Portfolio to participate inthe same Investments which are allocatedto a later Investor. The <strong>Fund</strong> Managermay depart from this basis of allocationif, in its absolute discretion, it considers itappropriate to do so having regard to theoverall investment policy of the <strong>Fund</strong> andthe benefit of creating diversity within thePortfolios of Investors.Please note however that the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager will not provide an individualportfolio management service for Investorswhich is suitable for their individual financialand other circumstances but is undertakingonly to make and manage Investmentson a common basis for all Investors inaccordance with the investment policydescribed in this document.Generally, the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager reserves the rightto return a small surplus of cash to Investors if itconcludes that it cannot be properly invested.1.4 Potential Conflicts of InterestThere may arise situations where the interestsof the <strong>Fund</strong> conflict with the interests of otherfunds which may be managed by the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager or of the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager itself.The <strong>Fund</strong> may invest in companies in whichother funds managed by the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager,<strong>Jenson</strong> or associates of <strong>Jenson</strong> may investor may already hold investments. Decisionsmade by the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager may be morebeneficial for one fund managed or advisedby the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager than for any other.The <strong>Fund</strong> may co-invest with third parties orthrough joint ventures or other entities. Suchco-investing may give rise to the possibilitythat a co-investor or partner may at anytime have economic or business interestsor goals which are inconsistent with thoseof the <strong>Fund</strong>, or that such person may takeaction contrary to the <strong>Fund</strong>’s investmentobjectives. The entitlement of the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager to the performance fees referredto in the Investor’s Agreement may createan incentive for the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager to makemore speculative investments on behalfof the <strong>Fund</strong> than it would otherwise makein the absence of such a performancebasedcompensation arrangement.The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager may enter into feesharing arrangements with third partymarketeers, including placement agents,or other advisers who refer Investors to the<strong>Fund</strong>, and such marketeers may have aconflict of interest in advising prospectiveInvestors whether to invest in the <strong>Fund</strong>. Anypotential conflicts of interest will be dealtwith according to the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager’scompliance manual.


18 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Risk Factors 19Conflicts of interest may arise in connectionwith decisions made by the <strong>Fund</strong> Managerthat may be more beneficial for certainInvestors than for any other. In makingsuch decisions, the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager intendsto consider the investment objectives ofthe <strong>Fund</strong> as a whole, not the investmentobjectives of any individual Investor.The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager may provide certainInvestors with the opportunity to co-investin Investments. Potential conflicts maybe inherent in, or arise from, the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager’s discretion in providing suchopportunities to certain Investors. In addition,once such co-investments are made, the<strong>Fund</strong>’s interests and those of co-investingInvestors may subsequently diverge.In addition, a conflict of interest may arisewhere the Investee Companies put forwardby <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP (in its role as strategic adviserto the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager), are existing clientsof <strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions, a designated memberof <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP. However, in providingprospective Investee Companies to the<strong>Fund</strong> Manager, <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP will endeavourto put forward companies which meet theinvestment criteria set out in sections 3.1 and5 of this Information Memorandum and inany event, all final investment decisions willlie exclusively with the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager.1.5 General risksThe subscription for shares in the InvesteeCompanies and the performance of shareswill not be covered by the Financial ServicesCompensation Scheme or by any othercompensation scheme.Subject always to the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager’s discretionto determine otherwise, if the Minimum <strong>Fund</strong>Size is not reached by the 31 March 2013, noInvestments will be made and Investors’ monieswill be returned without interest.1.6 Forward looking statementsInvestors should not place reliance onforward-looking statements.

22 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Key Points 233. Key PointsBy investing in small, high growth start-ups,the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> seeks to offerstrong targeted tax free returns with riskmitigation to individuals looking to takeadvantage of the attractive income taxand capital gains reliefs under the <strong>Seed</strong>Enterprise Investment Scheme (“S<strong>EIS</strong>”) andthe Enterprise Investment Scheme (“<strong>EIS</strong>”).3.1 Investment ObjectiveIn return for subscribing to the <strong>Fund</strong>, the<strong>Fund</strong> Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP seek toprovide Investors with:• A diverse Portfolio of Investments in a widerange of sectors and industries, whichqualify for S<strong>EIS</strong> Relief and/or <strong>EIS</strong> Relief.• Certainty of capital deployment throughdealflow introduced by the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager and by <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP.• Strong targeted tax free cash returnsof £1.85 pence 2 for every 100 penceinvested, equivalent to 270 per centreturned to Investors for a net 50p 3invested on S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentsand 164 per cent returned to Investors fora net 70p 4 on <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments.If achieved and taking into account theTax Reliefs, this would represent a 30 percent IRR on S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentsand 21.5 per cent IRR 5 on <strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestments. Without Tax Reliefs, theprojected IRR for the <strong>Fund</strong> is 13%.• <strong>Fund</strong> launch with a £100,000 cornerstoneinvestment from the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and<strong>Jenson</strong> which aligns their interests withInvestors throughout the life of the <strong>Fund</strong>.2net of all costs3net of taxation4net of taxation5 Internal Rate of Return - the compoundedannual return3.2 Summary of TaxationAdvantagesInvestments in Investee Companies thatare either S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments or <strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investments give rise to a suiteof valuable tax reliefs.For S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments, the reliefs include:• Income tax relief at 50% of the amountinvested in Investee Companies in theyear of Investment subject to an annualinvestment limit of £100,000 (this isirrespective of your marginal tax rate);• Tax free capital gains when S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestments are sold;• Capital gains tax wipeout on anychargeable gains realised in tax year2012/2013 which are invested in S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investments;• Inheritance tax relief provided theinvestments have been held for two yearsand are held at the time of death; and• Loss relief which can be taken againstincome or as a capital loss.By combining the CGT wipeout relief withthe income tax relief, Investors have theopportunity to make a £100,000 investmentat a cost of only £22,000.For <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments, the reliefs include:• Income tax relief at 30 per cent ofthe amount invested in <strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingCompanies in the year of Investmentor in the preceding tax year up to£1 million from 6 April 2012;• Tax free capital gains when <strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestments are sold;• Capital gains tax deferral for the lifeof the Investment where a gain realisedon a disposal is invested into a <strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investment;• Inheritance tax relief provided theinvestments have been held for two yearsand are held at the time of death; and• Loss relief which can be taken againstincome or as a capital loss.Each of these reliefs is explained in more detailin section 6 of this Information Memorandum.Given that the reliefs under the S<strong>EIS</strong> are morebeneficial than those under the <strong>EIS</strong> and thatan Investor is limited to income tax reliefunder the S<strong>EIS</strong> on income of £100,000 perannum, the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager is proceeding onthe basis that the first £100,000 of an Investor’sContribution is to be invested where possiblein S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments. This is subjectto the need, for regulatory reasons for eachS<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment to be followedby a nominal <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment asexplained in more detail in section 8.1 of theInformation Memorandum.Any amount over and above £100,000 worthof Contribution by each Investor shall beinvested in <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Companies. If anInvestor would like a different proportion, forexample, they have already made a small S<strong>EIS</strong>investment themselves then please contact<strong>Jenson</strong> to arrange the appropriate proportion.


24 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Key Points 253.3 Opening and Closing DatesThe <strong>Fund</strong> will be open to applications on 10August 2012. The final Closing Date of the<strong>Fund</strong> will be 31 March 2013. The <strong>Fund</strong> mayremain open for further applications at the<strong>Fund</strong> Manager’s discretion. The <strong>Fund</strong> Managermay, in its discretion, and having regard to thevalue of Contributions received by then andthe available investment opportunities, acceptapplications on one or more interim ClosingDate(s) prior to the final Closing Date, so thatContributions received by then may be investedat that point, whilst the <strong>Fund</strong> remains open forfurther applications until the final Closing Date.Investors who contribute after an interim ClosingDate may or may not be invested in the sameInvestee Companies as those who contributeearlier, depending on the timing of the makingof Investments. The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will most likelyinvest as soon as the <strong>Fund</strong> reaches its MinimumTarget and therefore Investors may not haveaccess to early Investments if they invest in the<strong>Fund</strong> later in the tax year.3.4 Costs, Fees and IncentiveArrangementsThe way <strong>EIS</strong> fund charging structures aregenerally set up often mean that Investorsdo not receive tax relief on the full amountof their contribution. Typically, for every£10,000 contributed, only around £9,000 isactually invested (owing to the initial chargeand annual management fees). This is notthe case with the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>: toensure that Investors receive tax reliefs onthe full amount of their investment in the<strong>Fund</strong>, charges are made to the InvesteeCompanies rather than to the <strong>Fund</strong>.3.5 Investee Company FeesInvestment FeeWhen the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager makes aninvestment in an Investee Company, <strong>Jenson</strong>LLP (on behalf of the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager andacting through <strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions) will chargethe Investee Company an initial investmentfee of 5.5% of the amount invested. Thisinvestment fee will settle any agreedcommission or payments to facilitate advisercharges by an Investor’s authorised financialadviser if they have one.Monitoring FeeThe <strong>Fund</strong> will have certain direct operatingcosts, such as tax, legal, compliance, auditand Administrator & Custodian fees. The <strong>Fund</strong>will provide Investors with regular informationon the performance of their Investmentsincluding quarterly valuations and six-monthlynewsletters and statements electronically.To pay for these services and also for themonitoring of Investee Companies by<strong>Jenson</strong>, <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP (on behalf of the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager and acting through <strong>Jenson</strong>Solutions) will charge each InvesteeCompany an annual administration chargeat the rate of £295 per calendar month plus2% per annum on amounts invested (plusVAT if applicable). From this charge <strong>Jenson</strong>LLP may (where applicable) pay an annualtrail commission to an Investor’s authorisedfinancial adviser.<strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions may also provide eachInvestee Company with operational andaccounting support covering such mattersas financial reporting, business planning,financial modelling, debt fund raising,business management and general dealmanagement (whether in relation to theinitial Investment or otherwise) and maycharge additional fees to the InvesteeCompanies for these services.Other Investee Company chargesThe <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP reservethe right to charge exit fees to each InvesteeCompany and (together with their associatedcompanies) will also be entitled to receivefees and other benefits if they provideadditional corporate finance or similar servicesinvolving the Investee Company.Projects which do not proceedto completionThe fees and costs incurred in connectionwith potential Investments in InvesteeCompanies which do not proceed tocompletion will be borne by <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP.VATVAT will be payable where applicable bythe Investee Company.Performance FeeLinked to the performance of yourInvestment the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong>LLP will be entitled to a performance fee ifand when a realisation of an Investment inan Investee Company is achieved. This willbe as follows from the sale proceeds:• NO performance fee if the return from anInvestee Company including dividendsand other distributions to an Investor is100p (OR LESS) per 100p contributed inthat Investee Company;• IF on an Investment by Investment basis,the return including dividends and otherdistributions to an Investor from an InvesteeCompany is MORE THAN 100p per 100pcontributed the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and<strong>Jenson</strong> LLP will receive a performance feeof 25% of all returns to an Investor above100p per 100p contributed.The entitlement to performance feesmay be paid in cash or structured byway of subscriptions for shares in InvesteeCompanies by or on behalf of the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP.Many performance incentives work on acumulative basis, however, we believe thatfor very early stage funds an investment byinvestment performance incentive closeraligns the fund management interestswith the interest of investors. Early stagecompanies not only require funding but ahuge amount of pro-active support overmany years including detailed handsonadvice and assistance. By having aperformance incentive on each companyit ensures that the fund manager isincentivised to go beyond the normallevels of support to drive each business to asuccessful exit so far as possible. Cumulativeincentives do not necessarily provide thisassurance to investors over the long-term.For example if the cumulative performanceincentive is significantly under-water afterseveral years there may be little incentive toa fund manager to continue to drive thosebusinesses forward.


26 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Key Points 27We believe that given the early stage natureof these Investments, the amount of supportthey will require, the years it may take to realisesome Investments and the need to align theinterests of the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and the Investor,an investment by investment performanceincentive is most appropriate.InterestAny interest on Investors monies pendinginvestment by the <strong>Fund</strong> will be retainedto cover administration costs and notpaid to Investors.No other costs<strong>Jenson</strong> LLP will pay all the costs ofestablishing the <strong>Fund</strong>, including introductorycommission, payments to facilitate advisercharges, trail commission contracted priorto 30 December 2012, legal and taxationcosts, the preparation of this InformationMemorandum and any other directexpenses incurred.Commission to authorised financial adviserswho advise an Investor to participate in the<strong>Fund</strong> prior to 30 December 2012From our fees, commission may be payableto authorised financial advisers who advisean Investor to participate in the <strong>Fund</strong> prior to30 December 2012. These may include:• A commission of up to 3% of the amountthat an Investor contributes to the <strong>Fund</strong>payable once investments are made(though a commission of up to 3.5%may be payable in respect of earlyContributions as determined by the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong>); and• An annual trail commission of up to0.5% of the amount that an Investorcontributes to the <strong>Fund</strong>. This would bepayable for up to six years and is cappedat 3% of the amount contributed. Thisamount is paid on an investment byinvestment basis so long as the InvesteeCompany is paying the Monitoring Fee.Commission to authorised non-MiFIDfinancial advisers who advise anInvestor to participate in the <strong>Fund</strong> after30 December 2012In respect of applications received after30 December 2012 commission may bepayable on the same basis and to the sameextent to authorised non-MiFID financialadvisers who treat their client Investor as anelective professional client in accordancewith COBS 3.5.3 R (1) as having the expertise,experience and knowledge to make his/herown investment decision and to understandthe risks involved in relation to the <strong>Fund</strong>. The<strong>Fund</strong> is not subject to MiFID.Facilitation payments to authorisedMiFID financial advisers who advise anInvestor to participate in the <strong>Fund</strong> after30 December 2012In respect of applications received after 30December 2012 payments which facilitateand which do not unduly influence orrestrict appropriate adviser charges agreedand validated by the client Investor maybe payable to authorised MiFID financialadvisers up to the limits mentioned abovefor so long as and to the extent that thosefacilitation payments can continue to belinked with on-going services provided bythe adviser to the client Investor.The Administrator & Custodian will maintaina register of authorised financial advisersentitled to trail commission and, as the casemay be, on-going facilitation payments, andwill manage the administration of the same.If an Investor changes his/her adviser, he/sheshould inform the Administrator & Custodian ofthe details of his/her new authorised financialadviser, who will be entitled to receive the ongoingpayment instead. Authorised financialadvisers should keep a record of ApplicationForms submitted bearing their stamp tosubstantiate any claim for the above.

Investment Strategy5.1 Risk MitigationThe <strong>Fund</strong> will invest in a broad range ofsectors and will carry out in depth andthorough due diligence of prospectiveInvestee Companies including vigorousinterviews with the owners and extensiveanalysis of the companies’ business plans.By investing in a diverse portfolio of InvesteeCompanies with a focus on a wide rangeof sectors and geographical locations,the <strong>Fund</strong> will reduce its exposure to anyparticular sector or Investee Companywith no more than 25% of any Investor’sContribution being invested into a singleInvestee Company.In addition, once an Investment has beenmade, <strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions will provide InvesteeCompanies with a range of business supportservices including general management andstrategic advice, financial modelling and,where applicable, the provision of a part-timeexperienced finance director. The lack ofexpert advice is a key factor in the failure ofmany start-ups; while many entrepreneurs arehighly creative and driven individuals, manyhave limited experience of business andfinance. As such <strong>Jenson</strong> Solution’s supportduring the Investee Companies formativeyears is likely to reduce the risk of InvesteeCompanies not performing to levels predictedby their business plans or failing due to factorsthat would have otherwise been avoidablewith expert advice. Some of these additionalservices will be charged by <strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions tothe Investee Companies. At all times <strong>Jenson</strong>Solutions will ensure that the fees chargedare for services that help take the InvesteeCompanies forward. In some circumstances<strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions may take equity in returnfor fees in order to assist Investee Companieswith their cash flows and to further align theinterest of <strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions and Investors.5.2 General InvestmentStrategy of <strong>Fund</strong>The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager has always followeda diligent and disciplined investmentapproach over many years identifyingbusinesses where there is a real opportunityfor long-term capital growth.5.2.1 What companies will the<strong>Fund</strong> invest in?While the <strong>Fund</strong> will aim to have breadthwith regard to the sector and industry of itsInvestments, <strong>Jenson</strong> and the <strong>Fund</strong> Managerwill seek to identify prospective InvesteeCompanies with similar key characteristicsand these include the following:• Generating revenues or with a clear pathto revenue generation;• High growth potential with the possibilityof realising a return of a multiple of atleast five times on the <strong>Fund</strong>’s Investment;• Disruptive business models that can thrivein a recessionary environment whether bychanging or enhancing a market;• Evidence that a prospective InvesteeCompany’s concept, product or serviceis innovative and has market potentialthrough testing, external validation or bydemonstrating pre-orders;• Addressing market gaps and brand lags –with unique and defendable propositions;• Non-capital intensive business models thatare both scalable and capital efficient; and• Led by an inspiring, energetic andambitious entrepreneur(s) capable ofdelivering the forecast investment returns.The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager intends that all InvesteeCompanies will qualify for relief as both S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Companies and <strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingCompanies for the purposes of obtainingTax Reliefs.<strong>Jenson</strong> LLP and the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will takesteps to identify and avoid investment in anycompanies which are carrying out or intendto carry out any of the excluded activitieswhich preclude a company from being a S<strong>EIS</strong>or <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Company. A summary of theconditions Investee Companies need to satisfyto be S<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Companies,including a list of excluded trades is set out insection 11 of this Information Memorandum.As the S<strong>EIS</strong> Reliefs are more beneficial thanthe <strong>EIS</strong> Reliefs, initially the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager willseek where possible to invest exclusively inInvestee Companies that are S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingCompanies. Together with <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP, it willtherefore be looking for small companieswho are less than two years old, with lessthan 25 employees and with gross assets notexceeding £200,000.5.2.2 How will the <strong>Fund</strong> findInvestee Companies?<strong>Jenson</strong> LLP and the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager willfind prospective Investee Companies in anumber of ways. Both <strong>Jenson</strong> and the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager have an established track recordin identifying high quality start-ups. The verynature of <strong>Jenson</strong>’s business services means<strong>Jenson</strong> already has an existing network ofentrepreneurial clients, business contacts andangel investors. Through this network <strong>Jenson</strong>LLP has already identified a pipeline of possibleInvestee Companies. The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager’stypical investor base comprises many seniorfinance professionals who also regularly providea source of investment opportunities.In addition, the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and <strong>Jenson</strong>have developed relationships with accountants,lawyers, financial sponsors and otherintermediaries over many years who also mayprovide investment opportunities for the <strong>Fund</strong>.A further source of potential InvesteeCompanies for the <strong>Fund</strong> may be companiesin which <strong>Jenson</strong> or its associates have anexisting investment. Investments in thesecompanies would not only provide the <strong>Fund</strong>with an opportunity to build on an establishedrelationship with the entrepreneurs but it wouldalso have the advantage of further aligningInvestors’ interests with those of <strong>Jenson</strong>.Due to the reputation of the <strong>Fund</strong> Managerin the venture capital industry, the<strong>Fund</strong> also expects prospective InvesteeCompanies to approach the <strong>Fund</strong> directly.


36 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Investment Strategy 375.2.3 How will the <strong>Fund</strong> monitorits Investments?Building a strong working relationship withInvestee Company’s management is often keyto the success of a venture capital investmentbut never more so than with smaller start-upbusinesses, the type in which the <strong>Fund</strong> willinvest. This is something <strong>Jenson</strong> and the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager have always prioritised.As set out in the risk mitigation section above,<strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions will play an active role inInvestee Companies during the course ofthe Investment. <strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions will providea variety of advisory services to InvesteeCompanies, encompassing accounting,corporate finance and general businessstrategy. As part of the working relationship,<strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions may also appoint a parttimefinance director onto an InvesteeCompany’s board. <strong>Jenson</strong> Solutions has aready-made stable of experienced financedirectors as the provision of finance directorsis one of its core services with many <strong>Jenson</strong>partners having had experience of serving asfinance directors in start-up businesses.In any event, there will always be an openline of communication between <strong>Jenson</strong>,the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and the managementof Investee Companies to ensure thatthe business of the Investee Company isproceeding in line with the business planprovided by the Investee Company. <strong>Jenson</strong>and the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will pay closeattention to results and thoroughly reviewmanagement forecasts.5.2.4 How will the <strong>Fund</strong> exitits Investments?The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager has a reputation forachieving successful exits by employing avariety of appropriate strategies includingtrade sales to other companies in the samesector or industry as the Investee Company,listing on a stock exchange or by selling itsshare of the Investee Company to a largerprivate equity firm.5.2.5 When will the <strong>Fund</strong> exitits Investments?The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager takes a long-term viewon the <strong>Fund</strong>’s Investments and aims to onlylook at the possibility of exiting an Investmentafter it has been held for at least three years,thereby ensuring that the Investment has metone of the key qualifying conditions necessaryfor Investors to obtain the Tax Reliefs. However,there may be occasions where an earlier saleis a commercially sensible decision.It is anticipated that most exits from Investmentswill take place after they have been held forfive or seven years though some could takelonger depending on market conditions andthe nature of the Investee Companies.5.3 Type of InvestmentOpportunitiesThe <strong>Fund</strong> will be investing in a broad rangeof sectors and will carry out in depth andthorough due diligence of prospectiveInvestee Companies including vigorousinterviews with the owners and extensiveanalysis of their business plans. Examples ofthe type of investments we are interested inare detailed below. Although the examplesare derived from recent experience of suchopportunities, these are only representativeand do not necessarily reflect actualinvestment opportunities that are available.5.3.1 Mobile phone software andrelated applicationsMobile phones play an increasingly importantrole in the day to day activities of everyoneand there are host of useful and commerciallyprofitable applications being developed bymany gifted and entrepreneurial softwaredevelopers. Examples of the type of interestingapplications include personal safety, imagerecognition and medical services.5.3.2 Digital media convergenceThe convergence and consolidation of digitalmedia services continues to accelerate withtelevisions, mobile phones, tablets, cameras andcomputers all providing digital media services.There are many innovative service providers thatare helping the on-going revolution in this sector.5.3.3 Social networking servicesThere are an increasing amount of servicesbeing developed that are complementary toestablished social networking websites suchas Facebook and LinkedIn which provideuseful and profitable bolt-on niche services.Alternatively, next generation social andbusiness networking services may provideattractive opportunities for seed investment.5.3.4 Retail websites and E-commerceNearly every business requires a webpresence as part of its promotional activitiesand many websites providing specialistretail services are commercially profitable.In addition, many software developers arestreamlining and simplifying the process fornew entrants. The low costs of entry, therevenue generating capabilities and theambitions of entrepreneurs and softwaredevelopers make this an area of interest forinvestment opportunities.5.3.5 Information software productsBusiness intelligence software productsare able to analyse and provide usefulmanagement information by extractingdata from data-intensive industries. Thestandard search engines are not capable ofdelivering such relevant information and thisis a growth area for software development.


38 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Investment Strategy 395.3.6 Innovative wirelesselectronic productsWireless electronic products are increasinglysetting the standard for electronic productsand there are many dynamic and innovativeSME companies involved with such products.5.3.7 Electronic entertainment andgaming productsThe consumption of gaming and entertainmentproducts has increased dramatically in the lastdecade and there are many specialist softwaredevelopers operating in this field with a strongflow of new products in the pipeline.5.3.8 Datacentre and cloudcomputing servicesThe move away from dedicated IT servicesfor businesses and consumers alike continuesto gather momentum and the flexible andversatile services available are growingrapidly. There are many SMEs providing newand innovative services in this area.5.3.9 Staff recruitment, interim andcontract servicesServices relating to the recruitment and provisionof staff are often provided by specialist SMEswho understand the requirements anddemands of their clients.

Market penetration is difficult but thepotential for growth of these products oncebreak-even is achieved is considerable.5.3.12 Online publishing andrelated servicesAnother area undergoing a revolutionarychange in services is publishing with theadvent of online publishing, blogging, iPads,Kindles, tablets etc which are transformingthe way books, magazines, information andarticles are distributed and read. This allowsnew entrants into the publishing market andthe provision of niche or specialist services.5.3.13 Niche products and servicesWe will look at investment opportunitiesin cash generative niche products andservices in the education, training, arts andmusic sectors as well as the more traditionalbusiness sectors such as the building trade,manufacturing, packaging, distribution,storage and transport which have thecapability of steadily growing and realising asuccessful exit.


40 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Tax Reliefs 416. Tax ReliefsThe <strong>Fund</strong> takes advantage of somesignificant tax incentives available forinvestors in S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Companies and<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Companies. These tax benefitshave the effect of greatly increasingthe return and reducing the risk of yourContribution. This Information Memorandumsets out the tax benefits applicable to boththe S<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong> schemes in turn.The figures in this section are examplesonly. They are not, and should not beconstrued as, forecasts or projections ofthe likely performance of the investmentdescribed in this document. Please notethat this is only a condensed summary ofthe taxation legislation and should not beconstrued as constituting advice which apotential Investor should obtain from his/herown investment or taxation adviser beforeapplying for an investment in the <strong>Fund</strong>. Thevalue of any tax reliefs will depend on theindividual circumstances of Investors.6.1 S<strong>EIS</strong> Tax ReliefsA summary of the S<strong>EIS</strong> Tax Reliefs is as follows:Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Scenario 4Investment Amount £10,000 £10,000 £10,000 £10,000Tax Incentive 1:Income Tax Reliefat 50%£5,000 £5,000 £5,000 £5,000Net cost to Investor £5,000 £5,000 £5,000 £5,000Tax Incentive 2:Capital gains taxwipeout relief at 28%£2,800 n/a (£2,800) n/aNet cost to Investor £2,200 £5,000 £2,200 £5,000Exit Realisation £20,000 £20,000 n/a n/aTax Incentive 3: Taxfree capital gainsTax Incentive 4:Inheritance tax relief£ - £ - n/a n/a£ - £ - n/a n/aTax Incentive 5:Loss relief at 45%n/a n/a (£2,250) (£2,250)NET GAIN/(LOSS)TO INVESTOR£17,800 £15,000 £50 (£2,750)Gain/(loss)percentage on netcost809% 300% n/a n/aGain/(loss)percentage onInvestment amountn/a n/a 0.1% (27.5%)Illustrative examples


42 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Tax Reliefs 43Tax incentive 1: S<strong>EIS</strong> Income Tax ReliefUnder Part 5A of the Income Tax Act 2007,as introduced by the Finance Act 2012,you receive income tax relief at 50% of theamount of your S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentmade through the <strong>Fund</strong>. This offers thepotential for significant enhancement ofyour investment returns over time, althoughit is always subject to an annual £100,000investment limit.Claims for S<strong>EIS</strong> income tax relief are givenby setting off against an individual’s incometax liability in the tax year in which the S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investment is made, a sum equalto the full amount subscribed for Sharesin the S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Company multipliedby 50%, the rate of S<strong>EIS</strong> Relief for 2012/13,irrespective of your marginal tax rate(although your income tax bill must exceedthe relief you claim).ExampleMr Smith is a 50% taxpayer earning £150,000a year. He is looking at ways to reducehis income tax bill and decides to invest£100,000 in S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentsthrough the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>. As such,he is entitled to £50,000 of income tax reliefin the tax year in which his S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestments are made. The effective netcost to Mr Smith of the S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestments made through the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong><strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> is therefore, £50,000.Tax Incentive 2: Capital gains wipeout ongains made during the tax year 2012/2013Where you have made a gain on thedisposal of assets during the tax year2012/13 and you use the proceeds of thisgain to make a S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentthrough the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>, the gainsyou have made will not be chargeablegains for the purposes of capital gains taxprovided that you are entitled to S<strong>EIS</strong> Reliefon your Investments.ExampleMr Smith is a 50% taxpayer earning £150,000a year. In 2012/13 Mr Smith sells shares ina biotech company and makes a gain of£100,000 which is subject to capital gainstax of 28%. If he uses his £100,000 gain tomake a S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment throughthe <strong>Jenson</strong> S<strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and claims S<strong>EIS</strong> Reliefand also makes a claim for capital gainstax wipeout relief, Mr Smith does not haveto pay the £28,000 that he would otherwisehave had to pay in capital gains tax.Taking into account the initial 50% income taxrelief, Mr Smith would, in effect, be making a£100,000 investment for a sum of £22,000.Tax Incentive 3: Tax free capital gainsWhen S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments are sold,you will enjoy tax free capital gains on anyincrease in their value.ExampleThe following table shows the net gain madeon a S<strong>EIS</strong> investment where the investmenthas grown by a gross amount of 15 per cent:Note: the above calculation assumes that theannual exemption from capital gains tax (“CGT”),which is currently £10,600, is utilised elsewhere.This example is for illustrative purposes onlyand should not be relied on to predictactual returns.S<strong>EIS</strong> InvestmentInitial investment £100,000 £100,000Income tax relief (£50,000) -Net cost £50,000 £100,000Proceeds £115,000 £115,000Gross gain (assumes 15 per cent) £65,000 £15,000CGT (currently 28 per cent) - (£4,200)Net gain £65,000 £10,800Excluding S<strong>EIS</strong> tax benefits


44 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Tax Reliefs 45Tax Incentive 4: Inheritance Tax ReliefAlthough not a S<strong>EIS</strong> tax relief as such, a S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investment will qualify for 100 per centrelief from inheritance tax (“IHT”) under currentlegislation, provided that the Investment hasbeen held for at least two years, it is still held attime of death and remains unlisted.ExampleMrs Smith, a widow, is 68 years old and has anannual income of £100,000 and a total estateworth £1 million. Under current legislation,her taxable estate would be £675,000 (i.e. £1million less the tax-free allowance of £325,000- the nil rate band in the tax year ending 5April 2013). This would result in an IHT liability of£270,000 (i.e. 40 per cent of £675,000) and anestate, net of IHT, worth £730,000.In order to reduce her potential IHT liability,Mrs Smith decides to invest £100,000 inthe <strong>Fund</strong> which in turn is invested in S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investments in tax year 2012/13.In addition to any tax-free capital growthon her original S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments of£100,000, Mrs Smith will also receive £50,000of income tax relief under the S<strong>EIS</strong>.Furthermore, assuming she survives fortwo years, and still holds the Investmentsas at the date of her death her estate willsave £70,000 upon her death (assumingno change in the value of her £100,000investment). Her IHT liability is reduced to£230,000 (£270,000 previously) and, takinginto account her S<strong>EIS</strong> Relief, her estate is nowworth £800,000 (£730,000 previously) in otherwords her net estate is £70,000 better off.The end value of Mrs Smith’s estate willtherefore be:Estate not invested in <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong><strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Less IHT(at 40 per cent of £575,000, i.e.£900,000 less £325,000 nil rate band)£900,000(£230,000)Net uninvested £670,000Income tax relief £50,000Less IHT(on the increase in the estate)(£20,000)This example assumes there is no change inthe value of her £100,000 investment in the<strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>. Were the value ofher Investment to increase to £130,000, MrsSmith’s estate would be £100,000 better offthan had she not invested in <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong><strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>, and the whole of the increasedvalue would be free of IHT.£30,000Return of investment in the <strong>Fund</strong> £100,000Post tax value of estate £800,000


46 Tax Reliefs 47Tax Incentive 5: Loss ReliefIn the event of a poor performinginvestment there is some return on thedownside through loss relief. If you makea loss on an investment in a S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestment, the net amount of that loss(i.e. after deducting any income tax reliefobtained on making the investment) canbe set off against your taxable income inthe year in which the loss is made, or can becarried back to the previous tax year.Tax relief is available at any time inrespect of any loss realised upon adisposal of shares in a S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingCompany on which S<strong>EIS</strong> income taxrelief is claimed (see Tax Incentive 1above). The amount of the loss (aftertaking account of any income tax reliefinitially obtained) can be set againstthe individual’s gains in the tax year inwhich the disposal occurs, or, if not fullyused, against gains in a subsequentyear. Alternatively, the loss net of incometax relief may be set off against theindividual’s taxable income in either thetax year in which the disposal occurs, orthe previous tax year.Realised value of sharesNilGross investment in shares (£10,000)Less income tax relief at50 per cent£5,000Loss available for tax relief (£5,000)Tax relief (assuming incometax at 45 per cent next year)£2,250Net loss (£2,750)The net cost to Mr Smith after the tax reliefsin this example is effectively £2,750 on£10,000 invested.In his March 2012 Budget speech theChancellor of the Exchequer proposed thatfrom 2013/14 any investor seeking to claimloss relief will be restricted to a cap set at25% of their income or £50,000 whicheveris the greater. Draft legislation is due to bepublished in Autumn 2012.ExampleMr Smith is a 50% taxpayer and invests£10,000 into a S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentthat subsequently fails.


48 Tax Reliefs 496.2 <strong>EIS</strong> Tax ReliefsTax Incentive 1: Income Tax ReliefUnder current legislation, you may receiveincome tax relief at 30 per cent of theamount of your investments in <strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingCompanies made through the <strong>Fund</strong>,thereby offering the potential for significantenhancement of your post-tax return overtime. As with S<strong>EIS</strong> income tax relief claims,claims for <strong>EIS</strong> income tax relief are given bysetting off against an individual’s income taxliability in the tax year in which an Investmentis made or, if requested, in the precedingtax year, a sum equal to the full amount ofthe <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment up to £1 millionmultiplied by the level of relief (30 per cent forthe tax year 2012/2013). This is subject to anyincome tax relief which has already beenclaimed under the <strong>EIS</strong> for that year.Husbands and wives, and civil partners, caneach contribute up to the limits set out above.The relief is given against the individual’sincome tax liability for the tax year in whichthe shares are issued unless the individualmakes a claim to carry back income tax reliefto the immediately preceding year.Tax Incentive 2: Tax free capital gainsYou will enjoy tax free capital gains onany increase in value of the <strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestment in which the <strong>Fund</strong> invests, whenthese shares are sold.<strong>EIS</strong> InvestmentExcluding <strong>EIS</strong> taxbenefitsInitial investment £100,000 £100,000Income tax relief (£30,000) -Net cost £70,000 £100,000Proceeds (assumes 15 per cent) £115,000 £115,000Net gain £45,000 £15,000CGT (currently 28 per cent) - (£4,200)NET GAIN TO INVESTOR £45,000 £10,800Tax Incentive 3: Inheritance Tax ReliefAlthough not an <strong>EIS</strong> tax relief as such, as withS<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments, an <strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestment will qualify for 100 per cent relieffrom IHT under current legislation, providedthe <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment has been heldfor at least two years and is still held at timeof death and remains unlisted.Tax Incentive 4: Capital Gains Tax DeferralIf you have made a capital gain which istaxable or which was taxed within the lastthree years, you can invest the gain in <strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investments through the <strong>Fund</strong>and the capital gains tax can, under currentlegislation, be deferred over the life of theinvestment or recovered (if already paid).You have three years from the date you realisea gain to invest it into <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments(you can even reclaim capital gains tax youpaid in the preceding two years) or go forwardone year from the date on which the <strong>Fund</strong>invests in <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments. If you diewhilst your money is invested in the <strong>Fund</strong>, thetax due on your deferred capital gain will diewith you. The initial deferral therefore leads (ondeath) to capital gains elimination.Whilst income relief at 30 per cent is limited tothe first £1 million invested in any tax year, thereis no upper limit on the size of the capital gainthat can be deferred after two tax years.Tax Incentive 5: Loss ReliefAs is the case with S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investments,in the event of a poor performing <strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestment there is some return on the downsidethrough loss relief. If you make a loss on aninvestment in an <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Company, thenet amount of that loss (i.e. after deductingany income tax relief obtained on making theinvestment) can be set off against your taxableincome in the year in which the loss is made, orcan be carried back to the previous tax year.Tax relief is available at any time in respect ofany loss realised upon a disposal of shares in an<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Company on which <strong>EIS</strong> incometax relief (see Tax Incentive 1 above) or CGTdeferral relief (see Tax Incentive 4 above) hasbeen given and not withdrawn. The amountof the loss (after taking account of any incometax relief initially obtained) can be set againstthe individual’s gains in the tax year in whichthe disposal occurs, or, if not fully used, againstgains of a subsequent year. Alternatively, onmaking a claim, the loss net of income tax reliefmay be set off against the individual’s taxableincome in either the tax year in which thedisposal occurs, or the previous tax year.In his March 2012 Budget speech theChancellor of the Exchequer proposed thatfrom 2013/14 any investor seeking to claimloss relief will be restricted to a cap set at25% of their income or £50,000 whicheveris the greater. Draft legislation is due to bepublished in Autumn 2012.The figures in this section are examples only.They are not, and should not be construed as,forecasts or projections of the likely performanceof the investment described in this document.Please note that this is only a condensedsummary of the taxation legislation and shouldnot be construed as constituting advice which apotential Investor should obtain from his/herown investment or taxation adviser beforeapplying for an investment in the <strong>Fund</strong>. Thevalue of any tax reliefs will depend on theindividual circumstances of Investors.


50 Operation of The <strong>Fund</strong> 517. Operation of the <strong>Fund</strong>The <strong>Fund</strong> has been designed to make claimingthe tax reliefs as quick and easy as possible.7.1 Claiming your Tax ReliefOnce an Investment has been made in anInvestee Company, <strong>Jenson</strong> will work with theInvestee Company to prepare and send offS<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong> compliance certificates to HMRC,demonstrating that the Investee Company isa S<strong>EIS</strong> and/or <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Company.As soon as practicable after an InvesteeCompany has been trading for 4 months(in the case of both a S<strong>EIS</strong> and an <strong>EIS</strong>investment) or, alternatively (in the caseof a S<strong>EIS</strong> Investment only) once 70% of themoneys raised have been spent, the InvesteeCompany will send to the Investor a S<strong>EIS</strong>certificate or, as the case may be a form <strong>EIS</strong> 3.Investors must send these forms to HMRC withtheir tax returns in order to claim any incomeand capital gains tax reliefs.7.2 Return on Exit of the <strong>Fund</strong>’sInvestmentsOn sale of the <strong>Fund</strong>’s Investments, the netproceeds are distributed to the Investor or,if you so choose, may be re-invested in anew <strong>Jenson</strong> fund (assuming the new fundmakes S<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentsand that there has been no change tothe legislation). Re-investment in new <strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investments should ensure anycapital gains continue to be deferredand a further 30% or 50% income tax reliefbecomes available.7.3 Your AccountYour Contributions and all dividends andproceeds of sale of Investments pendingtheir distribution will be deposited bythe Administrator & Custodian with anauthorised and reputable banking institutionin a client account in the name of theAdministrator & Custodian referenced”Reyker Securities plc Client Account Re:<strong>Jenson</strong>” with client trust status togetherwith cash balances belonging to otherInvestors. The mandate for operation of theaccount shall be held by the Administrator &Custodian and any interest arising therefromwill be retained to cover administration costsand not paid to Investors.7.4 Practising Accountants andother Professional PersonsWe will arrange to exclude practisingaccountants or other professional persons fromany Investment that their professional rulesprevent them from making provided that detailsof potential conflicts and such qualificationsare notified to us. Any amounts not invested forthis reason will be returned to the participantsconcerned and will not be used to increase theirshare of other <strong>Fund</strong> Investments unless you notifyus at the time.


52 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong><strong>Fund</strong> Structure And Administration 538. <strong>Fund</strong> Structure and Administration8.1 <strong>Fund</strong> StructureS<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong> schemes can be constituted eitheras an individual <strong>EIS</strong> management portfolioservice or as an <strong>EIS</strong> venture capital fund.If a fund manager provides an individual<strong>EIS</strong> management portfolio service he/she will seek to make a series of qualifyinginvestments which are appropriate for eachinvestor’s own financial position. This sort ofservice is typically provided by stockbrokerswho make AIM investments which qualifyunder the <strong>EIS</strong> for the benefit of their clients.Alternatively, if a fund manager makesinvestments in unquoted companies he/she will typically make and manage thoseinvestments on the basis that the arrangementswith investors constitute a single venture capitalfund and he/she will seek to act in commonon behalf of all investors in making and, bynegotiating investment agreements whichprovide minority protection rights, managinginvestments which fall within the commoninvestment policy for that fund but which arenot necessarily always going to be suitable forthe financial position of investors which maychange over time.The <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> is an <strong>EIS</strong> venturecapital fund. The common investmentpolicy for all Investors is described in thisInformation Memorandum. The <strong>Fund</strong> willinvest predominantly in S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestments but every S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingInvestment will also be followed up by an<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment. It is constitutedas a series of discretionary investmentmanagement agreements by whichinvestors who wish to make venture capitalinvestments in a portfolio of unquoted S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying and <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Companies,may appoint Foresight to act as theircommon discretionary investment fundmanager to make and manage Investmentsmade on their behalf in accordance withthat policy. As their financial position maychange over time, Investors benefit fromthe right, under the terms of the Investor’sAgreement, to withdraw their portfolio fromthe <strong>Fund</strong> as follows:• Qualifying Investee Companies whichbecome listed to dealing on a recognisedinvestment exchange - at any time afterthe expiry of five years following the issueof the shares;• Other shares in Qualifying InvesteeCompanies - at any time after the expiry ofseven years following the issue of the shares;• Non Qualifying Investments - at any timeafter the expiry of six months following thedate on which they ceased to be S<strong>EIS</strong>/<strong>EIS</strong>shares; and• Cash - at any time.Every Qualifying S<strong>EIS</strong> Investment will befollowed by a Qualifying <strong>EIS</strong> Investment (evenif only nominal) therefore the <strong>Fund</strong> will be aComplying <strong>Fund</strong> and not an unregulatedcollective investment scheme for the purposesof the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.Investors should be aware that Investmentswill be in unquoted companies which aretherefore not readily realisable and an Investorwho withdraws his/her portfolio from the <strong>Fund</strong>may find it harder to realise his/her Investments.A withdrawal does not mean thatthe Investor is able to convert his/herInvestments into cash and neither the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager nor <strong>Jenson</strong> provide a market forthe realisation of Investments. The key riskfactors for such Investments are explainedon pages 12 - 19 and you should note thatone of the risks of an early withdrawal ofshares is that an Investor may find his/herInvestment difficult to manage and realise.It is for this reason that participation in the<strong>Fund</strong> will normally be limited to investors whocan be categorised by the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager aselective professional investors in accordancewith COBS 3.5.3 R (1) as having the expertise,experience and knowledge to make their owninvestment decision and to understand therisks involved in relation to the <strong>Fund</strong>. The <strong>Fund</strong> isnot subject to MiFID.As part of the Application Pack, eachInvestor will separately enter into an Investor’sAgreement with the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager and<strong>Jenson</strong> LLP as the Strategic Adviser. The <strong>Fund</strong>Manager is authorised to act as a discretionaryinvestment fund manager by the UK FinancialServices Authority. In connection with thesearrangements, <strong>Jenson</strong> LLP provides servicesto the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager as its strategic adviserand will also arrange deals and providemonitoring services in connection with the<strong>Fund</strong>. In addition to the Investor’s Agreement,the Investor will enter into the Administrator &Custodian Standard Terms, pursuant to whichthe Administrator & Custodian will provide theInvestor with safeguarding and administrationservices in respect of their investment in the<strong>Fund</strong> on the instructions of the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager.The Investor’s Agreement provides that the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager is responsible for selecting suitable S<strong>EIS</strong>and <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Companies and investing theInvestors’ monies in them. The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager willhave total investment discretion with regard toselecting, monitoring and realising Investmentsin accordance with the specified investmentobjectives and restrictions and in particular theneed to comply with the rules set out in theIncome Tax Act 2007 with a view to ensuringthat the tax advantages under the S<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong>accrue to the Investor.Although all Investments will be managed ona common basis, an Investor’s Investmentswill not be pooled with Investments madeby other Investors but will be made inproportion as nearly as possible to the totalcontributions by all Investors to the <strong>Fund</strong> atthe time Investments are made though the<strong>Fund</strong> Manager may depart from this basisof allocation if, in its absolute discretion, itconsiders it appropriate to do so having regardto the overall investment policy of the <strong>Fund</strong>and the benefit of creating diversity within thePortfolios of Investors.The amount invested on an Investor’s behalfin each Investee Company and the numberof Investee Companies in his/her portfolio willdepend on the timing of an Investment andthe availability of suitable opportunities. Asany delay in investing would affect returns, the<strong>Fund</strong> investment policy is to make Investmentsin suitable opportunities as soon as reasonablypossible rather than to hold cash in reserve in thehope of obtaining a wider spread of Investments.These arrangements together constitute the<strong>Fund</strong>. The <strong>Fund</strong> is not a separate legal entity inits own right.

58 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>S<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong> Conditions 5911. Seis and <strong>EIS</strong> ConditionsTo obtain any of the Tax Reliefs relating to S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Investments and to reduce the risk ofthese being withdrawn by HMRC, a number ofconditions need to be satisfied. These can befound in Part 5A of the Income Tax Act 2007.The conditions can be split into those relatingto the Investor and the Investee Companyand general conditions relating to theissue of Shares. A summary of some of theconditions in respect of S<strong>EIS</strong> is set out below(as amended) and in the finance Act 2012.11.1 S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying CompaniesFor the Investee Company to be a S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Company, it must:• during a period of three years afterthe Investment have a permanentestablishment in the UK and must not be infinancial difficulty;• not at any time from its incorporation norwithin three years of an Investment:• control any company which is nota qualifying subsidiary, that is a 51%subsidiary of the Investee Companyover whom no other person hasany control; or• be under the control of anothercompany nor can it be a partnerof a partnership;• not at the time of Investment be listed ona recognised stock exchange and theremust be no “arrangements” in place forthe company to become so listed;• not at or prior to the time of Investmenthave received any <strong>EIS</strong> or VCT investmentnor subsequently receive any <strong>EIS</strong> or VCTinvestment until it has spent 70% of thefunds raised through the S<strong>EIS</strong> Investment;and• immediately before the Shares are issued,the value of the Investee Company’sgross assets must not exceed £200,000and the Investee Company must haveless than 25 full-time employees.The Investee Company may only raisea maximum of £150,000 through the S<strong>EIS</strong>during its lifetime.Within the three years following anInvestment, an Investee Company or oneof its subsidiaries must exist wholly for thepurpose of carrying on a new qualifyingtrade which is a genuine new venture orresearch and development from whicha qualifying trade will arise. During thesame timeframe, the Investee Companyor one of its 90% subsidiaries must be theonly person carrying on the new qualifyingtrade or relevant preparation and researchand development work once it or one ofits subsidiaries has commenced doing so.A new qualifying trade is a trade whichhas not been carried on for more than twoyears before the date of the issue of theShares and must be the only trade that theInvestee Company or any of its subsidiarieshas carried on.Most types of trades are qualifying tradesso it is easier to define a qualifying trade bywhat it is not. Typically non-qualifying tradesare those which are asset backed and assuch have sufficient assets which a bankcan use as security for a loan.The following trades are non-qualifying trades:• Dealing in land, commodities or futures, or inshares, securities or other financial instruments.• Dealing in goods other than in the courseof an ordinary trade of wholesale or retaildistribution, or acting as a wholesaleror retailer of goods of a kind which arecollected or held as investments if stockis not actively sold.• Banking, insurance, money lending, debtfactoring, hire purchase financing or otherfinancial activities.• Leasing, except certain lettings of ships,or receiving royalties or licence fees(subject to certain exceptional cases).• Providing legal or accountancy services.• Farming and market gardening.• Forestry and timber production.• Property development.• Shipbuilding.• Producing coal or steel.• Operating or managing hotels or similarestablishments.• Operating or managing nursing homesand residential care homes.• Providing services to a trade consistingof any of the above carried on by a“connected person”.• Feed-in tariff based businesses, exceptcommunity schemes, anaerobic digestionand hydro-electricity.


60 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>S<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong> Conditions 6111.1.1 Timing requirementsKey to an Investor being able to obtain S<strong>EIS</strong>Relief is that he/she owns an Investment fora minimum of three years. If an Investment issold within three years any relief claimed willbe repayable to HMRC.Also before the Investor can claim anyS<strong>EIS</strong> Relief, the Investee Company musthave spent 70% of the Investor’s share ofthe Investment or have been trading for atleast four months. In addition, the InvesteeCompany must spend all S<strong>EIS</strong> monies raisedwithin three years of the Investment.11.1.2 S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying InvestorsTo be a S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investor,the Investor must:• not be an employee of the InvesteeCompany or a qualifying subsidiary of theInvestee Company;• not be the recipient of a loan whichwould not have been made or wouldhave been made on different terms if he/she had not subscribed for the Shares;• not have a substantial interest in theInvestee Company at any time from thecompany’s incorporation nor within threeyears of his/her Investment. A substantialinterest includes a 30% shareholding inthe Investee Company or its subsidiaries,or the ability to control 30% of the votes inthe Investee Company; and• be subscribing for Shares in the InvesteeCompany through the <strong>Fund</strong> for genuinecommercial reasons and not as part ofa scheme or arrangement whose mainpurpose is to avoid tax.11.1.3 S<strong>EIS</strong> general requirements• The Shares issued by the S<strong>EIS</strong> QualifyingCompany must either be ordinary sharesor preference shares that carry a fixednon-cumulative dividend but do not haveany additional rights to capital on thewinding up of the Investee Company. Inaddition the Shares must be subscribed forwholly in cash, and must be fully paid upat the time they are issued.• The Investee Company must issue theShares to raise money for the purposesof a qualifying business activity which iseither a new qualifying trade or researchand development, from which a newqualifying trade may be derived, thatthe Investee Company or one of its 90%subsidiaries will carry on.• There must be no pre-arrangedarrangements for Investors to exit orrealise their Investment in the InvesteeCompany. Although this document hasset out possible routes for the <strong>Fund</strong> torealise the Investments, in compliancewith this provision, the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager willnot reach any agreement with InvesteeCompanies about a definite exit routeas part of the arrangements in which theInvestee Companies issues the Shares.• A S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investment must bemade by the Investor and issued byan Investee Company for genuinecommercial reasons and not as part ofa scheme to avoid tax.• An Investment must not be issued inconnection with or as a result of adisqualifying arrangement. It is believedthat a disqualifying arrangement is anarrangement where the purpose ofthe parties is to secure that an InvesteeCompany carries on a qualifying businessactivity and that S<strong>EIS</strong> relief on the relevantshares issued can be obtained (ratherthan either of these matters being thecharacteristics and outcome of a genuinecommercial transaction) and that most ofthe monies raised will be paid to a partyto the arrangement or that the qualifyingbusiness activity would have beencarried on as part of another business.There is considerable uncertainty at themoment regarding the interpretation ofthe legislation as regards disqualifyingarrangements because the language isboth circular and ambiguous but it is theintention of the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager to onlymake Investments which HMRC haveapproved as being genuinely commercial.11.2 <strong>EIS</strong> ConditionsThe conditions for <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Investmentsare set out in Part 5 of the Income TaxAct 2007 and are broadly similar to thoseof S<strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Companies with thequalifying trades being exactly the same.A key difference is the thresholds foremployees and gross assets are greater:to be an <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Company, theInvestee Company must have less than 250employees and pre-share issue gross assetsof less than £15 million.

Schedule117ScheduleImportant NoticeIn respect of professional client categorisationThe Information Memorandum relating to the <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> describes arrangementsfor the appointment of Foresight Group LLP (“Foresight” or the “<strong>Fund</strong> Manager”) of ECACourt, 24-26 South Park; Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 1DU, as a discretionary investment <strong>Fund</strong>Manager to act on behalf of Investors who wish to make venture capital investments in S<strong>EIS</strong>Qualifying Companies and <strong>EIS</strong> Qualifying Companies and to manage those investments incommon on behalf of all such Investors. These arrangements together constitute the <strong>Jenson</strong><strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> (the “<strong>Fund</strong>”). Foresight is authorised to act as an investment <strong>Fund</strong> Manager bythe UK Financial Services Authority (“FSA”) and their FSA registration number is 198020.As venture capital investments can be higher risk Foresight only acts for individuals who, inaccordance with FSA rules, can be assessed as understanding the risks of investing in the <strong>Fund</strong>.These are set out in section 1 of the Information Memorandum. Therefore participation in the <strong>Fund</strong>is normally restricted to those whom Foresight can categorise as elective professional clients.This means that Foresight will owe you an obligation to ensure that the venture capitalinvestments which they make comply with the investment policy and parameters set outin the Information Memorandum but not that they are suitable for your particular financialcircumstances and portfolio; an obligation that would need to be discharged if Foresightwere to classify you as under FSA rules a ‘retail client’. This would require you to disclose toForesight personal details about your income, expenses, liquidity and assets. There are someadditional differences between these two FSA classifications. They are set out below.Please note that the fact that an adviser will treat you as a ‘retail client’ under FSA rulesfor the purposes of his/her client relationship with you, does not prevent that adviser fromcarrying out an assessment that you have the experience, expertise and knowledgerequired to understand the risks of investing in the <strong>Fund</strong> and of being categorised as anelective professional client for the purpose of your relationship with Foresight.You can be categorised as an elective professional client if:(i) Foresight undertakes an adequate assessment of your expertise, experience andknowledge that gives reasonable assurance, in the light of the nature of the transactionsor services envisaged, that you are capable of making your own investment decisionsand understanding the risks involved;


118 <strong>Jenson</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>EIS</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>Schedule 119(ii) Foresight has given you a clear written warning of the protections and investorcompensation rights you may lose; and(iii) You have stated in writing, in a separate document from the Investor’s Agreement, thatyou are aware of the consequences of losing such protections. Such a statement iscontained within the Application Form.Once you have been classified as an elective professional client you will lose the protectionsapplicable exclusively to retail clients under the FSA rules. Certain of the FSA rules willautomatically be limited or modified in their application to you. Certain of the FSA rules willbe capable of modification in their application to you in relation to any business carried outby the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager under the terms of the Information Memorandum.The following protections will not apply to you as an elective professional client, and anInvestor in the <strong>Fund</strong>:(i) The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will not be obliged to warn you of the nature of any risks involved inany potential investments in the <strong>Fund</strong>. The key risks of investing in the <strong>Fund</strong> are set out insection 1 of the Information Memorandum.(ii) The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will not be obliged to disclose the basis or amount of its chargesfor any services the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager provides to you or on your behalf or the amount ofany other income that the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager may receive from third parties in connectionwith such services. The basis and amount of the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager’s charges are set out insection 3 of the Information Memorandum.(iii) The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will not be obliged to set out any of the prescribed contents,disclosures or risk warnings needed for retail customers in prospectuses, marketingbrochures and other non-real time financial promotions material, nor will the <strong>Fund</strong>Manager be subject to the restrictions that apply to a retail client in relation tounsolicited real time communications.(iv) The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will not be required to give you the warnings required for retail clientsin relation to material which may lead you to deal with or use overseas firms which are notregulated by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 nor will the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager haveto satisfy itself that the overseas firm will deal with you in an honest and reliable way.(v) The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will also not be required to comply with the FSA rules relating torestrictions on and the content of direct offer advertisements.The following rules will be limited or modified in their application to you as a professionalclient and an investor in the <strong>Fund</strong>:(i) The majority of the FSA rules in relation to the form and content of financial promotionswill not be applicable in respect of any financial promotion communicated or approvedby the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager.(ii) The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will not be required by the FSA to provide you with a periodicstatement on the value and composition of your Portfolio in the <strong>Fund</strong> where you haverequested the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager not to do so or where the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager has takenreasonable steps to establish that you do not want it. We would however draw yourattention to clause 8 of the Investor’s Agreement, pursuant to which, in particular you willbe provided with contract notes for each Investment transaction by the <strong>Fund</strong> Managerand the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will send you a report relating to the <strong>Fund</strong>, complying with theFSA rules, every six months. Reports will include a measure of performance in the laterstages of the <strong>Fund</strong> once valuations are available for the investments. Investments will bevalued by the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager in accordance with appropriate IPEVC Guidelines fromtime to time prevailing.(iii) The <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will comply with FSA conduct of business rule 11.2 and, to the extentapplicable, take all reasonable steps to obtain, when making Investments, the bestpossible result for you taking into account the following execution factors: price, costs,speed, likelihood of execution and settlement, size, nature or any other considerationrelevant to making investments. In doing this, the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager will take into accountthe following criteria for determining the relative importance of these execution factors:your categorisation as an elective professional client (rather than as a retail client); thecharacteristics and investment strategy of the <strong>Fund</strong> as described in the InformationMemorandum; the rules of the S<strong>EIS</strong> and <strong>EIS</strong>; and the normal commercial practice ofthe counterparties and strategic partners with which the Investee Companies will dobusiness. In particular, factors such as the suitability, expertise and market position ofcounterparties and strategic partners may be more important than price in obtaining thebest possible execution result in the context of achieving the investment objective.If you are reclassified as a retail client for the purposes of the regulated activities carried outby the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager (or <strong>Jenson</strong> in accordance with clause 2.7 of the Investor’s Agreement)in connection with the <strong>Fund</strong>, the <strong>Fund</strong> Manager shall be entitled to terminate the Investor’sAgreement pursuant to Clause 15.3.
