• Shares are payable in full on application. We will acknowledge receipt of your cheque and application and may cash your cheque as soon as it is received.
• If we have received more money for this offer than we need, we may decide to issue you with fewer shares than you applied for. In this event, we will return the balance to you within 28 days of the Board of Directors meeting. Priority will be given to people living in Sunart and then Moidart, Ardnamurchan, Ardgour and Morvern.
• The share offer document outlines the process in full, including what will happen if we do not raise sufficient funds to proceed with the hydro scheme.

Will the value of my shares increase?

• The value of shares in Sunart Community Renewables will not increase, but may reduce if liabilities exceed assets.

Withdrawing capital

• You cannot cash in your shares during the first three years following the scheme starting to sell electricity. After this date you can apply to withdraw capital, but must give 3 months' notice, and the decision is entirely at the Board's discretion although we will consider all requests sympathetically. Further details will be available in the share offer document.  However, we urge potential investors to view a stake in Sunart Community Renewables as a long term investment, and only to invest funds if they are able to make a long-term commitment to supporting the project.
