Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
Re: Artemis U.S. Capital Appreciation Fund (the Applicant)
Application for a decision under the securities legislation of Ontario, Nova Scotia, Alberta, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut (the Jurisdictions) that the Applicant is not a reporting issuer, dated March 16, 2015
The Applicant has applied to the local securities regulatory authority or regulator (the Decision Maker) in each of the Jurisdictions for a decision under the securities legislation (the Legislation) of the Jurisdictions that the Applicant is not a reporting issuer.
In this decision, “security holder” means, for a security, the beneficial owner of the security.
The Applicant has represented to the Decision Makers that:
(a) the outstanding securities of the Applicant, including debt securities, are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by fewer than 15 security holders in each of the jurisdictions of Canada and fewer than 51 security holders in total worldwide;
(b) no securities of the Applicant, including debt securities, are traded in Canada or another country on a marketplace as defined in National Instrument 21-101 Marketplace Operation or any other facility for bringing together buyers and sellers of securities where trading data is publicly reported;
(c) the Applicant is applying for a decision that it is not a reporting issuer in all of the jurisdictions in Canada in which it is currently a reporting issuer; and
(d) as at the date of the application, the Applicant is not in default of any of its obligations under the Legislation as a reporting issuer.
Each of the Decision Makers is satisfied that the test contained in the Legislation that provides the Decision Maker with the jurisdiction to make the decision has been met and orders that the Applicant is not a reporting issuer.
