The requirement for the entire share capital of the corporation to be owned by AIs may be applied at either the immediate shareholder level or at the ultimate owner level. For example, a corporate would be eligible as an AI if all its immediate shareholders are AIs. If one of the immediate shareholders, which is a corporate, does not meet the $10 million net assets threshold for corporate AIs, but the ultimate shareholder of this immediate shareholder is an AI, the client can still qualify as an AI.

In the case of shareholders which are corporates themselves, they would be considered as AIs either because the corporate has S$10 million net assets or is owned by the AIs themselves.

Yes. Existing AIs are given the choice to opt-out by submitting the AI opt-out form to confirm that they no longer wish to be treated as Accredited Investors as defined in section 4A of the SFA.
