A copy of this notice must be provided to the CBB at the time it is issued to CIU participants.

      CBB may cancel the registration of a CIU if in its opinion:

      (a) Any of the applicable requirements contained in Module CIU are not met;
      (b) False or misleading information has been provided to the CBB, or significant information which should have been provided to the CBB has not been so provided; or
      (c) The CBB believes it necessary in order to safeguard the interests of potential investors or the CIU's participants.
