How do you qualify for 20% bonus shares? You will earn bonus shares for each of the following categories:
10% bonus shares if you reserved shares in this offering during our Test the Waters period
10% bonus shares if you are an Owner’s Bonus member (you can purchase Owner’s Bonus here)
10% bonus shares if you invest over $5,000 in this offering

If you also invest $5,000, you will still receive 20% bonus shares. Please note that 20% is the maximum number of bonus shares you may be eligible for, even if you qualify under all three categories. Additionally, bonus shares may not immediately appear on your investor dashboard, but will be issued prior to the offering close.
