Most ‘Venture Capital Shares’ have a restriction period of 12-24months; Insiders period may be longer, upto 4years.

On expiry of the restriction period, a non-US citizen has to approach a SSE lawyer and request for an ‘Opinion Letter’ – there may be a cost to it.

The shareholder then takes the ‘Opinion Letter’ and the Share certificate to a Transfer agent with a view to sell.
