    US person

    A US person is any person falling under one of the following definitions:

    a) A person, individual or legal entity deemed to be a US person under Regulation S of the Securities Act.

    b) A private person (individual) who is a US citizen or resident alien within the meaning of US income tax laws. The term "resident alien" is currently defined as follows under US income tax laws: a person who (i) holds an alien registration card (green card) issued by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, or (ii) meets the substantial presence test. In principle, the substantial presence test is considered to be met in a current calendar year if (i) the person was present in the US for at least 31 days during the current year and (ii) the sum of the number of days the person was present in the US in the current year, and 1/3 of the days they were present in the preceding year and 1/6 of the days in the year before that exceeds 183 days in total.

    c) With regard to legal entities (non-individuals), (i) a company, limited partnership or other legal entity which is organized or domiciled in the US or whose business operations are headquartered in the US, (ii) a trust (a) whose administration is under the supervision of a US court and (b) which has one or more US persons who exercise control or make all substantial decisions and (iii) estates subject to US taxes regardless of location/source.

    d) A company/legal entity established for the passive management of assets - such as commodity pools, investment companies or similar vehicles (except pension funds for employees, directors and managers, organized and domiciled outside the United States of America) – where 10% or more of the beneficial ownership, as measured by the unit certificates, is held by US persons or which company/legal entity was basically established for the purpose of enabling investments by US persons in a commodity pool whose manager is exempted from specific requirements of Part 4 of the Rules of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission by virtue of participating as a non-US person.
