    Welcome to our offer

    Dear Reader,
    We are delighted to welcome you to The Bushido Impact CIC (Bushido) a
    New Age in Philanthropy. Bushido has been created to change the paradigm
    in philanthropy, through shifting attitudes as to the way funding of charitable
    and social causes is perceived and carried out.
    Bushido is part of a collective of social enterprises that have come together to
    address the growing demand for sustainable Community, Social and Impact
    Investing (CSI) at a time when global issues like climate change, pandemic
    recovery and a cost-of-living crisis are impacting on all of us. We are facing
    unprecedented challenges in the public and private sectors and everincreasing demands on our social services, and the voluntary sector.
    With the financial help and guidance of our founder Jon Bowles and working
    together the founding team have developed a simple but highly innovative
    community, social & impact investment strategy and business model, to
    deliver competitive financial returns to investors along side sustainable, positive
    community, social impact investments that have measurable outcomes.
    We are launching an initial series of Social Impact Bonds (Bonds), designed
    to provide an innovative form of Philanthropic “giving” that provides a new
    means to support “good causes” for those that cannot afford to donate, or
    prefer an alternative to support the same objective without sacrifice, whilst
    enhancing the effectiveness of donations for those that can. This will enable
    access to true philanthropic opportunities to more people no matter their level
    of participation.
    Central to why Bushido was created is our desire to share the “feel good
    factor” that doing good brings. We want everyone to benefit and enjoy from
    transparent investing in opportunities that do-good works and effect change
    in a way that we can all see and all benefit from.
    By reducing waste, and friction in “the system”, we generate savings that are
    then available to be given back to validated people and communities to do
    with as they see fit. They can choose to roll this back into good works for the
    common good or use it to improve their own circumstances.
    Please feel free to explore our offer, ask any questions you may bout it, and
    the underlying programs we look to support. We want you to understand
    the why, what, and how of our proposal, and importantly how your input,
    no matter what, will help make a difference to others and most importantly
    yourself. We hope you will like what you see, and if you do, we will invite you
    to start creating your own legacy by becoming a New Age Philanthropist and
    be part of a movement that makes a difference.
    Thank you for your time and interest.

    The Terms of the Offer

    Up to a total of £3,500,000 in aggregate of Bushido Social Impact Bonds will
    be made available with durations (term) of 12, 36 and 60 months.
    The Coupon (interest rate) will be a fixed rate paid annually in arrears on the
    anniversary of the issue of the bonds, at a rate calculated as a percentage

    • Maximum Individual Investment of £250,000 unless by prior agreement

    • The Company will own and hold security interests in its own name to
    back any loans or investments it makes and will further own rights and
    entitlements to revenues from underlying loans, investments and assets
    including real estate. As a CIC the assets, security and income come to
    the only, so the Bonds themselves are not secured.
    As the Bonds are unsecured and not readily realisable, they should be
    regarded as higher risk investments. You should not make an investment
    decision based on this Brochure alone, please ensure you are aware of the
    Terms of the Offer paying particular attention to the risks described on pages
    12 to 16 and if you are in any doubt of the suitability or appropriateness
    of this investment you are strongly advised to seek the advice of an FCAauthorised financial adviser or an appropriately qualified professional.
    The terms and conditions of making an application for the Bonds are more
    specifically described in the Application Form.
    Bonds will be offered monthly until the initial funding limit of £1,250,000 in
    aggregate, has been reached.
    The Directors reserve the right to reject any application in whole or part at
    their absolute discretion, and to close the offer at any time.
    Cooling Off Period
    As an investor we want you to be sure of your investment and we will
    therefore provide you with a 14-day ‘cooling-off period’ from the date of your
    Bond order is received, during which time you are able to withdraw your
    investment with out penalty.
    Investment Strike Dates
    The Bond Strike dates are set as the 28th of each calendar month. The 14-
    day cooling off period means to have an issue date of the 28th of a month,
    the completed order form and cleared funds need to be submitted to the
    Company by no later than the 14th of that month. If the Order is received
    after the 14th of the month, funds will not be allocated to the Bonds until the
    28th of the following month.
