The right to make changes and amendments to this Guidance Notice – in particular also on short notice – is reserved. The marketing of units or shares in foreign AIF or EU AIF managed by foreign AIF management companies to professional or semi-professional investors in the Federal Republic of Germany is governed by the provisions of the KAGB. Pursuant to section 330 of the KAGB1 , the intended marketing of units and shares must be notified to the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). BaFin reviews whether the particulars and documents transmitted are complete. If the notification is incomplete, BaFin will request the missing particulars and documents to be provided within 20 workdays pursuant to section 330 in conjunction with section 321 (2) in the form of a supplementary notification. The supplementary notification must be submitted to BaFin within six months from remission of the notification or the last

The original German text is binding in all respects. supplementary notification; otherwise, commencement of marketing is prohibited (section 321 (2) sentences 4 and 5). A new notification may be made at any time. Where a marketing exclusively to professional investors is planned, BaFin advises within two months of receipt of the complete notification documents pursuant to section 330 (4) in conjunction with section 316 (3) whether marketing of the AIF specified in the notification letter in the Federal Republic of Germany may be commenced. If marketing to semi-professional investors is (also) intended, a time limit of four months will apply. If the notified AIF is a feeder AIF, the time limit will be extended pursuant to section 330 (4) sentence 2 no. 1.b) and 2.b). If the notifying foreign AIF management company has already notified an AIF for marketing to semi-professional investors in the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to section 330 (2) sentence 1 and assures in the notification letter that with reference to the particulars provided pursuant to section 330 (2) sentence 3 no. 1 and 3 no changes have occurred since the last notification, the time limits for marketing to semi-professional investors will be shortened by two months in each case. BaFin may prohibit commencement of marketing within the time limits specified in section 330 (4) in conjunction with section 316 (3) if the AIF management company or the management of the notified AIF by the AIF management company violates the provisions of the KAGB. If BaFin notifies such objections within the time limit specified in section 330 (4), the time limit will be interrupted and will resume upon submission of the amended particulars and documents. If the objections have been removed and BaFin notifies this fact to the AIF management company, marketing of the notified AIF in the Federal Republic of Germany may be commenced as of the date of such notification.
