HedgeConnection Inc. has, upon advice of legal counsel, incorporated a number of design features into the HedgeConnection website (the "Website") that are intended to avoid a public offering by a hedge fund that subscribes for access to the Website. These include: password protection of all hedge fund information that is posted to the Website; a requirement that all prospective investors complete an investor questionnaire and represent that they are accredited investors prior to being granted access to the Website; a 30-day waiting period between the date on which a potential investor applies for access to the Website and the date on which the potential investor is granted access to hedge fund information on the Website; the release of a potential investor's contact details to a hedge fund only after the potential investor has granted its consent to such release; and the display of disclaimers on the Website confirming that the Website does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy shares or interests in any fund in any jurisdiction.
We do not have any control over any communications which may occur between a hedge fund and a potential investor after initial contact has been made through the Website. Hedge funds and their managers should conduct any such follow-up communications in a manner which ensures compliance with Regulation D or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and other applicable laws and regulations, including any applicable non-U.S. laws and regulations. Where appropriate, independent legal advice should be sought.

Yes, the HedgeConnection website is compliant with the SEC's "Lamp Technologies" no-action letter. The "Lamp" no-action letter, as it is commonly referred to, was a ruling by the SEC which set out all of the elements which a website must contain in order to preserve certain securities exemptions so that the website does not trigger a "public offering" of securities. For example, each user must be an "accredited investor".
