(2) to represent that all or part of the purchase price will be refunded, except where the security carries such a right;
(3) to give an undertaking relating to the future value or price of the security, except so far as that value is guaranteed on the security itself;
(4) to declare that the security will be listed or that an application has been or will be made to that end, except in the following cases:

(a.1) the declaration is authorized by regulation;
(b) the declaration appears in a preliminary or final prospectus for which the Authority has issued a receipt;

(d) an application to have the security listed has been made and securities of the same issuer are already listed; or
(e) the stock exchange has already conditionally or otherwise approved the listing of the issuer’s securities or agreed to their being traded, or consented or indicated that it did not object to such a declaration.
