The Bearguard Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated on April 9, 1999,
as a Maryland Corporation and is registered as a diversified open-end management
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Corporation
currently consists of one series: the Bearguard Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund
commenced operations on November 1, 1999. The following describes the rights
of the shares of the Corporation.
The Articles of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue
500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $.001 per share, and to
create classes of Common Stock within each series. The Fund currently offers two
share classes: (1) Investor Class, sold primarily to individuals and other
purchasers investing less than $100,000 and (2) Institutional Class, sold
primarily to institutions investing at least $100,000.
Each class of shares of the Corporation represents an interest in the assets and
liabilities of the respective Fund and have identical voting, dividend,
liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions, except that the
distribution and shareholder servicing fees related to the Investor Class shares
are borne solely by that class. Fractional shares have the same rights
proportionately as full shares. Common Stock issued are fully paid and
nonassessable and have no subscription or preemptive rights and only such
conversion rights or exchange rights as the Board of Directors may grant in its
discretion.
