12. Job creation estimates are calculated by an independent, third-party econometric consultant using RIMS II, Regional Input-Output Modeling System. RIMS II is a tool provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to help economists and researchers analyze the potential impacts of economic activities on regional economies. There is no guarantee job creation projections will be achieved. These percentages are calculated based on 125 investors, or $100M in EB-5 investments. The General Partner has discretion to raise an additional $50MM and anticipates considering pursuit of such additional fundraising after the project has been completed. If additional investors are closed into the fund, the job creation and cushion metrics will change.
