<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Dear all<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We have been going over the Legal Memorandum conducted by Sydley and Adler&Colvin dated May 3, and we have some (I believe easy) preliminary questions to ask regarding the creation
of an unincorporated SO/AC.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt">
<u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span>1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">It is stated in the report that the new association would have to file a statement with the California Secretary of State indicating some information, in order to establish
a record with regulatory authorities of the unincorporated association’s existence. The question is whether this inscription in the record is subject to any fee, and if yes, the amount of that fee.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt">
<u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span>2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In addition, would this unincorporated SO/AC be subject to the payment of any kind of taxes, duties, tariffs, charges, rates or tributes? I guess that is not the case,
since it would have no economic activity, but just to be sure.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt">
<u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span>3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Last, would the unincorporated SO/AC have any duties regarding administrative burdens or periodic obligations, such as the handing over of some kind of annual balance
or activity report? In other words, are there any legal obligations regarding the need to demonstrate that the association is active?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">May I kindly ask the legal team / Counsel to answer these questions?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
