I think not. $30K is for share purchase plans only.

This situation isn't a share purchase plan; it's sub-underwriting.
With sub-underwriting, you have to make a binding commitment in advance, and without the protection of a prospectus.
That's why it's limited to institutions and sophs.

LInk: Sub-underwriting

Example: DXB had sub-underwriting for their latest issue.

IMO the fundamentally unfair aspect is that soph status depends only on assets and not on passing a financial knowledge test.
Since when does having assets make someone wiser?

Meanwhile, non-sophs are free to "invest" in foreign exchange contracts for difference which are advertised on the radio.
Go figure.

IMO, happy to be corrected etc.
