IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
OfferBoard Securities, member FINRA/SIPC, has been retained by the issuer as its private placement agent.
This investment opportunity is being offered exclusively to Accredited Investors as defined under Rule 501 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.
Securities acquired in private placements are not publicly traded and therefore less liquid. Investing in private
placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity concerns, and long-term commitments. Investors must be
able to lose their entire investment. The issuer may require more capital in the future to continue growing, with no
guarantee that it will be successful in securing it.
Purchase of the shares subjects the prospective investor to a number of material risks. These risks include but
are not limited to (i) development stage of business, (ii) inadequacy of funds, (iii) dependence on management,
(iv) risks associated with expansion, (v) development of customer base and market acceptance, (vi) competition,
(vii) possible fluctuations in operating results, (viii) risks of borrowing funds, (ix) unanticipated obstacles to
execution of the business plan, (x) management discretion as to use of proceeds from this and other financings.
This document does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security and may not be
relied upon in connection with the purchase or sale of any security. Any such offer would be made only by means
of a formal private placement memorandum. Offers and sales will be made only in accordance with applicable
securities laws and pursuant to the private placement memorandum, subscription agreements and other definitive
documentation.
By accepting these materials, the recipient agrees to keep confidential the information contained herein and made
available in connection with any further investigation of the issuer. These materials have been prepared for
informational purposes relating to this transaction only and upon the express understanding that they will be used
for only such purposes. The recipient shall be entitled to rely solely on the representations and warranties made
to it by the issuer in any definitive transaction agreement. OfferBoard Securities does not make any express or
implied representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained herein.
