The exemption does not apply to a holder of 5% or more of the securities of a class that is the subject of the proposed roll-up transaction who engages in the business of buying and selling limited partnership interests in the secondary market unless that holder discloses such ownership interest and any relations to the parties of the transaction or to the transaction itself, to security holders to whom the communications are made as required by Rule 14a-6(n)(1) (17 CFR 14a-6(n)(1)) and as specified in the Notice of Exempt Preliminary Roll-Up Communication (17 CFR 240.14a-104) (“Notice”). Whether the communication is written or oral, the Notice must be furnished to the Commission. The purpose of the Notice is to provide the public information regarding ownership interests and any potential conflicts of interest of the person engaging in the solicitation.
