Acknowledgment

 

A I agree to become a shareholder of the Fund and in connection therewith subscribe for and agree to purchase Shares of the Fund on the terms provided for herein, in the Prospectus, in the Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Fund Agreement”) and in the Privacy Notice of the Fund in which I am investing and agree to be bound by their terms and conditions. I certify that I have the authority and legal capacity to make this purchase and that I am of legal age in my state of residence.

 

B I authorize the Fund and its agents to act upon instructions (by phone, in writing or other means) believed to be genuine and in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus for this account. I agree that neither the Fund nor the transfer agent will be liable for any loss, cost or expense for acting on such instructions.

 

C I am aware that an investment in the Fund involves substantial risks and have determined that a subscription is a suitable investment for me and that, at this time, I can bear a complete loss of my entire investment therein.

 

D I understand that under the Fund Agreement, shareholders cannot withdraw from the Fund and Shares cannot be transferred, except as provided in the Fund Agreement. I understand that liquidity is generally only available through periodic tender offers by the Fund, that the Fund is under no legal obligation to conduct any such tender offers. Consequently, I acknowledge that I am aware that I may have to bear the economic risk of investment in the Fund indefinitely.

 

E I understand that the offering and sale of Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable State securities laws.

 

F I will acquire Shares of the Fund for my own account for investment purposes only, and not with a view to or for the re-sale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part. I agree not to offer, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, all or any number of the Shares or any interest therein, except in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Fund Agreement and applicable law (including without limitation, the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and any other applicable securities laws).

 

G I certify that I am not a Foreign Financial Institution as defined in the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

 

H

 

(1)I certify that if I am a Fiduciary executing this investor certification on behalf of an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), that is subject to ERISA (a “Plan”), I represent and warrant that Vivaldi Asset Management, LLC (the “Investment Manager”), Registered Fund Solutions, LLC (the “Platform Manager”) and their affiliates have not acted as a Fiduciary under ERISA with respect to the purchase, holding or disposition of Shares, and that no advice provided by the Investment Manager, the Platform Manager or any of their affiliates has formed a basis for any investment decision by the Plan or me in connection with such purchase, holding or disposition.

 

(2)I further represent and warrant that the investment by the Plan in the Fund is prudent for the Plan (taking into account any applicable liquidity and diversification requirements of ERISA), and that the investment in the Fund is permitted under ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, other applicable law and the governing plan documents of the Plan,

 

(3)I further represent and warrant that the Plan’s purchase of the Shares does not, and will not (to the best of the Plan’s knowledge and assuming compliance by the Fund with its governing agreements), result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (or in the case of any governmental plan, any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar).

In addition, I undertake to notify the Fund immediately of any change with respect to any of the information or representations made herein and to provide the Fund with such further information as the Fund may reasonably require.
