The notice, issued in San Francisco, instructs potentially affected investors to determine whether their holdings qualify under the terms of the fund. Holders of the specified 144A securities are encouraged to review eligibility criteria carefully, as distribution funds of this type are governed by strict claim deadlines and documentation requirements set by the SEC.
