Financial Assets and Related Liabilities

For the purposes of Sections (a) and (d) above, “financial assets” means: (1) cash, (2) securities, or (3) a contract of insurance, a deposit or an evidence of a deposit that is not a security for the purposes of securities legislation. These financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. The value of a subscriber’s personal residence is not included in a calculation of financial assets.

The calculation of financial assets must exclude “related liabilities”, meaning: (1) liabilities incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing the acquisition or ownership of financial assets, or (2) liabilities that are secured by financial assets.

As a general matter, it should not be difficult to determine whether financial assets are beneficially owned by an individual, an individual’s spouse, or both, in any particular instance. However, in the case where financial assets are held in a trust or in another type of investment vehicle for the benefit of an individual, there may be questions as to whether the individual beneficially owns the financial assets. The following factors are indicative of beneficial ownership of financial assets:

 

   

physical or constructive possession of evidence of ownership of the financial asset;

 

   

entitlement to receipt of any income generated by the financial asset;

 

   

risk of loss of the value of the financial asset; and

 

   

the ability to dispose of the financial asset or otherwise deal with it as the individual sees fit.

For example, securities held in a self-directed RRSP for the sole benefit of an individual are beneficially owned by that individual.

In general, financial assets in a spousal RRSP can be included for the purposes of the C$1,000,000 financial asset test in Section (a) above because Section (a) takes into account financial assets owned beneficially by a spouse. However, financial assets in a spousal RRSP cannot be included for purposes of the C$5,000,000 financial asset test in Section (d) above.


Financial assets held in a group RRSP under which the individual does not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly do not meet the beneficial ownership requirements in either Sections (a) or (d) above.

Net Assets

For the purposes of Section (c) above, “net assets” means all of a subscriber’s total assets minus all of the subscriber’s total liabilities. Accordingly, for the purposes of the net asset test, the calculation of total assets includes the value of a subscriber’s personal residence, and the calculation of total liabilities includes the amount of any liability (such as a mortgage) in respect of the subscriber’s personal residence.

To calculate a subscriber’s net assets under the net asset test, subtract the subscriber’s total liabilities from the subscriber’s total assets. The value attributed to assets should reasonably reflect their estimated fair value. Income tax is considered a liability if the obligation to pay it is outstanding at the time of the distribution of the security to the subscriber by the Issuer.

Guidance On Accredited Investor Exemptions for Corporations, Trusts and Other Entities

Accredited investors that are corporations, trusts or other entities include:

 

  (a)

a corporation, trust or other entity, other than an investment fund, that has net assets (please see the guidance below regarding calculating net assets) of at least C$5,000,000 as shown on its most recently prepared financial statements in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles and that has not been created or used solely to purchase or hold securities as an accredited investor;

 

  (b)

a corporation, trust or other entity in respect of which all of the owners of interests, direct, indirect or beneficial, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by directors, are persons that are accredited investors; and

 

  (c)

a trust established by an accredited investor for the benefit of the accredited investor’s family members of which a majority of the trustees are accredited investors and all of the beneficiaries are the accredited investor’s spouse, a former spouse of the accredited investor or a parent, grandparent, brother, sister, child or grandchild of that accredited investor, of that accredited investor’s spouse or of that accredited investor’s former spouse.

Net Assets

For the purposes of Section (a) above, “net assets” means all of the subscriber’s total assets minus all of the subscriber’s total liabilities. The minimum net asset threshold of C$5,000,000 specified in Section (a) above must be shown on the entity’s most recently prepared financial statements. The financial statements must be prepared in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles.

Guidance on Close Personal Friend and Close Business Associate Determination

A “close personal friend” of a director, executive officer, founder or control person of an issuer is an individual who knows the director, executive officer, founder or control person well enough and has known them for a sufficient period of time to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment.


The following factors are relevant to this determination:

 

  (a)

the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person,

 

  (b)

the nature of the relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person including such matters as the frequency of contacts between them and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances, and

 

  (c)

the number of “close personal friends” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.

An individual is not a close personal friend solely because the individual is:

 

  (a)

a relative,

 

  (b)

a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group,

 

  (c)

a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace,

 

  (d)

a client, customer, former client or former customer,

 

  (e)

a mere acquaintance, or

 

  (f)

connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemption is not available to a close personal friend of a close personal friend of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum is not considered to be that of a close personal friend.

A “close business associate” is an individual who has had sufficient prior business dealings with a director, executive officer, founder or control person of the issuer to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment.

The following factors are relevant to this determination:

 

  (a)

the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person,

 

  (b)

the nature of any specific business relationships between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, including, for each relationship, when it began, the frequency of contact between them and when it terminated if it is not ongoing, and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances,

 

  (c)

the nature and number of any business dealings between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, the length of the period during which they occurred, and the nature and date of the most recent business dealing, and


  (d)

the number of “close business associates” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.

An individual is not a close business associate solely because the individual is:

 

  (a)

a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group,

 

  (b)

a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace,

 

  (c)

a client, customer, former client or former customer,

 

  (d)

a mere acquaintance, or

 

  (e)

connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemptions are not available for a close business associate of a close business associate of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum is not considered to be that of a close business associate.

UNITED STATES ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

 

TO:

GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES GROUP INC. (the “Issuer”)

 

RE:

Purchase of Debentures and Warrants (the “Securities”) of the Issuer

 

 

Capitalized terms used in this U.S. Questionnaire (this “Questionnaire”) and not specifically defined have the meaning ascribed to them in the Private Placement Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the undersigned (the “Subscriber”) and the Issuer to which this Exhibit B is attached.

This Questionnaire applies only to persons that are U.S. Purchasers. A “U.S. Purchaser” is: (a) any U.S. Person, (b) any person purchasing the Securities on behalf of any U.S. Person, (c) any person that receives or received an offer of the Securities while in the United States, or (d) any person that is in the United States at the time the Subscriber’s buy order was made or the Subscription Agreement was executed or delivered.

The Subscriber understands and agrees that none of the Securities have been or will be registered under the 1933 Act, or applicable state, provincial or foreign securities laws, and the Securities are being offered and sold to the Subscriber in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act for non-public offerings. The Securities are being offered and sold within the United States only to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. The Securities offered hereby are not transferable except in accordance with the restrictions described herein.

The Subscriber represents, warrants, and certifies to, and covenants and agrees with, the Issuer (which representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and certifications will survive the Closing), and acknowledges that the Issuer is relying thereon, that:

 

1.

it is not resident in Canada;

 

2.

it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and it is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its entire investment;

10.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”).

11.

it understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to the Subscriber of an acquisition or disposition of the Securities. The Issuer gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the Subscriber under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the Subscriber’s acquisition or disposition of the Securities.

16.

it understands and acknowledges that the Issuer is not obligated to remain a “foreign issuer”;

 

17.

(a) the funds representing the Principal Amount which will be advanced by it to the Issuer will not represent proceeds of crime for the purposes of the United States Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, as may be amended from time to time (the “PATRIOT Act”), and it acknowledges that the Issuer may in the future be required by law to disclose its name and other information relating to the Offering and its subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PATRIOT Act, and (b) no portion of the Principal Amount to be provided by it (i) has been or will be derived from or related to any activity that is deemed criminal under the laws of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction, or (ii) is being tendered on behalf of a person or entity that has not been identified to or by it, and it shall promptly notify the Issuer if it discovers that any of such representations ceases to be true and provide the Issuer with appropriate information in connection therewith.

The Subscriber agrees that the above representations and warranties will be true and correct both as of the execution of this Questionnaire and as of the Closing and acknowledges that they will survive the completion of the issue of the Securities.

The Subscriber acknowledges that the foregoing representations and warranties are made by the Subscriber with the intent that they be relied upon in determining the suitability of the Subscriber to acquire the Securities and that this Questionnaire is incorporated into and forms part of the Agreement.
