1. Qualifications

An individual is considered an Accredited Investor if they meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Income Test: An annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse or spousal equivalent) in each of the two most recent years, with a reasonable expectation of reaching the same level in the current year.

• Net Worth Test: An individual net worth (or joint net worth with a spouse or spousal equivalent) that exceeds $1,000,000, excluding the value of your primary residence.

• Professional Credentials: Holding certain professional designations or licenses in good standing (e.g., Series 7, 65, or 82).

2. Required Documentation

You may choose one of the following three methods to verify your status:
