Disclaimer for Goneke Investment Group (GIG)

Effective Date: November 16, 2025

Goneke Investment Group Proprietary Limited (South Africa) ("GIG," "we," "us," or "our") is a global private investment banking firm that deploys proprietary capital across infrastructure, energy, artificial intelligence, and real assets. We invest in high-impact ventures and strategic mandates aligned with our mission to create sustainable abundance. Established in 2022, GIG is guided by a commitment to excellence, innovation, and the preservation of financial, social, and generational value. Operating at the intersection of finance, technology, and systems design, we apply first-principles reasoning and AI-augmented analytics to identify emerging opportunities within the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).

We regard investment as fundamentally an intelligence challenge rather than solely a capital allocation issue, utilizing data, simulation, and synthetic reasoning to construct resilient economic systems. Drawing inspiration from non-competitive strategies and exponential technological dynamics, our philosophy emphasizes continuous improvement, rigorous truth-seeking, and the cultivation of enduring strategic advantages. This disclaimer delineates the scope, limitations, and regulatory framework of our operations, promoting clarity and transparency amid accelerating systemic transformations.

GIG's activities are confined to advisory and structuring services pertaining to privately placed capital. Our offerings encompass:

• Capital Structuring Advisory: Tailored financing structures, including debt, equity, and hybrid instruments, for corporates, governments, and projects.
• Private Credit Intelligence: Guidance on credit strategies, risk modeling, and structuring.
• Project Finance Advisory: Counsel on non-recourse or limited-recourse funding mechanisms.
• Mandate-Based M&A or Capital Advisory: Assistance with mergers, acquisitions, or capital formation among qualified counterparties.
• Strategic Intelligence & Analytics: AI-enhanced market insights and risk assessments.
• Proprietary Investments (via Goneke Global): Deployment of our own capital into select opportunities.

All engagements are executed on a mandate-specific or advisory basis, providing strategic, analytical, and risk-intelligence services under explicit client directives or contractual arrangements. GIG does not execute transactions on behalf of clients, custody client funds, or manage assets discretionarily.

GIG does not administer, manage, or oversee collective investment schemes, pooled funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or analogous vehicles. Although positioned as a forward-thinking alternative investment and intelligence entity, our current operations are restricted to mandate-driven advisory and strategic structuring.

GIG is not registered as an investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial institution under any regulatory regime, including but not limited to the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom, or equivalent authorities in the European Union (e.g., under MiFID II) or other jurisdictions. Consequently, GIG does not solicit, accept, or manage pooled client capital. Engagements are limited to qualified professional and institutional counterparties, such as sovereign wealth funds, family offices, corporations, and accredited investors as defined under applicable laws (e.g., Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933). Services are not extended to retail clients or the general public.

Access to GIG's materials or services from jurisdictions where such activities require registration or licensing is prohibited unless initiated via reverse solicitation by the user, in compliance with local regulations. Users must independently confirm compatibility with their jurisdictional requirements.

Information, intelligence, or outputs provided by GIG are intended solely for informational and strategic purposes. They do not constitute personalized investment advice, financial planning, legal counsel, tax guidance, or any solicitation, offer, or recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold any security, financial product, instrument, or asset in any jurisdiction.

All deliverables stem from data-driven methodologies, AI-assisted synthesis, and first-principles analysis, yet they are inherently probabilistic due to the uncertainties inherent in dynamic 4IR systems. Past performance, simulations, or forward-looking statements are not indicative of future results and should not be relied upon as such. Asset allocation, diversification, or any strategic approaches discussed do not guarantee profits or protection against losses.

GIG disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose of any information provided. We assume no liability—whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or otherwise—for any losses, damages, or claims arising from reliance on our materials, even if advised of the possibility thereof. Users are strongly advised to perform independent due diligence and consult licensed financial, legal, and tax professionals prior to any action.

Investments involve substantial risks, including the potential for total loss of principal, market volatility, liquidity constraints, currency fluctuations, geopolitical events, and regulatory changes. Certain strategies, such as those involving derivatives, high-yield securities, or emerging technologies, may amplify these risks and are unsuitable for all investors. Nothing herein should be interpreted as mitigating these inherent risks.

GIG adheres to ethical and legal standards applicable to private advisory entities, including anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-client (KYC), and sanctions compliance under frameworks such as those imposed by the United Nations, European Union, United States (e.g., OFAC), United Kingdom, and South Africa. We operate without the fiduciary duties imposed on registered investment managers. This disclaimer does not imply registration, licensing, or endorsement by any regulatory authority.

Users accessing GIG's resources from restricted jurisdictions bear sole responsibility for compliance. GIG reserves the right to restrict access based on jurisdictional considerations.

All content generated by GIG, including reports, analyses, frameworks, and intelligence products, is proprietary and safeguarded by international intellectual property laws. Reproduction, distribution, or use beyond the scope of an agreed mandate is prohibited without prior written consent. GIG maintains stringent confidentiality protocols for client engagements while retaining the right to utilise aggregated, anonymised data to enhance our intelligence frameworks, in accordance with applicable data protection laws (e.g., South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act, EU General Data Protection Regulation, and equivalents).

Any forward-looking statements reflect current views and assumptions, subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual outcomes to differ materially. GIG undertakes no obligation to update such statements.

This disclaimer may be revised periodically to align with operational developments, regulatory changes, or global standards, embodying our commitment to exponential enhancement. The prevailing version is accessible via our official channels.
