(a) The undersigned (the “Purchaser”) hereby subscribes to purchase the number of Shares of the Company inserted above, for the aggregate price inserted above, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement and the Private Placement Memorandum dated January 1, 2023, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, including the exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Memorandum”).

 

(b) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this subscription cannot be withdrawn, terminated or revoked. The Purchaser agrees to become a shareholder of the Company if the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, accepts any portion of this subscription. This subscription is not transferable or assignable by the Purchaser.

 

(c) This subscription may be rejected as a whole or in part by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. If this subscription is rejected, the Purchaser’s funds shall be returned to the extent of such rejection, without interest, charge or deduction. This subscription shall be binding on the Company only upon acceptance by the Company and to the extent of such acceptance.

 

(d) Neither the execution nor the acceptance of this Subscription Agreement alone constitutes the Purchaser as a shareholder of the Company. This is an agreement to purchase the Shares on a when issued basis; and the Purchaser will become a Shareholder only when the Purchaser’s funds are transferred to the operating account of the Company and after all other procedural requirements of the offering of the Shares (this “Offering”) have been completed. Until that time, the Purchaser shall have only the rights set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

 

(e) The Purchaser’s rights and responsibilities will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement and the Memorandum. The Company will rely upon the information provided by the Purchaser in this Subscription Agreement to confirm that the Purchaser is either (i) an accredited investor as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (ii) not a “U.S. person” as defined in Rule 901(k) of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Only a Purchaser who is either an accredited investor or not a “U.S. person” may invest in this Offering.

 

 

 

 

2.GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

The Purchaser represents and warrants as follows:

 

(a) I have received and read the Memorandum, and I am familiar with the proposed business, operations, properties and financial condition of the Company. I have relied solely upon the Memorandum and independent investigations made by me or my representative with respect to my investment in the Shares. No oral or written representations beyond the Memorandum have been made to me or been relied upon by me.

 

(b) I understand that the Company has previously filed certain reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which I can access free of charge by searching for “Genufood Energy Enzymes Corp (GFOO)” (CIK 0001510518) at: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/.

 

(c) I have been furnished such financial and other information concerning the Company and its business and future plan of operations as I consider necessary in connection with the investment in the Shares. I have been given the opportunity to discuss any questions and concerns with representatives of the Company.

 

(d) I am purchasing the Shares for my own account (or for a trust if I am a trustee), for investment purposes only and not with a view or intention to resell or distribute the same. I have no present intention, agreement or arrangement to divide my investment in the Shares with others or to resell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares, or to do so after the passage of a certain amount of time.

 

(e) I or my investment or other professional advisors have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that I can evaluate the risks of the prospective investment and to make an informed investment decision. I have been advised to consult my own attorney concerning this investment and to consult with independent tax counsel and/or advisors regarding the tax considerations of purchasing the Shares and investing in the Company.

 

(f) I have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of investing in the Shares, as set forth in the Memorandum. I have carefully evaluated my financial resources and investment position and acknowledge that I am able to bear the economic risks of this investment. I further acknowledge that my financial condition is such that I am not under any present necessity or constraint to dispose of the Shares to satisfy any existent or contemplated debt or undertaking. I have adequate means of providing for my current needs and possible contingencies, have no need for liquidity in my investment and can afford to lose my entire investment in the Shares.

 

(g) I have been advised that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or qualified under any state securities laws, on the basis, among others, that no public offering of the Shares is being effected and the Shares will be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that does not involve any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Actor under the Rules and Regulations of the SEC.

 

(h) All information which I have furnished in this Subscription Agreement, concerning myself, my financial position, and my knowledge of financial and business matters is correct, current and compete and does not fail to omit a material fact with respect thereto.
