Please note that shares in the capital of Oxford Science Enterprises plc are typically illiquid, often for long periods of time (ie. many years). Such shares may provide less protection against various risks than other asset classes, and may not be an appropriate investment for certain investors, including individuals. Acquiring such shares exposes an individual to a significant risk of losing all of the property or other assets invested. Such shares are suitable only for investors who can afford a long-term, high-risk investment.
