SECTION KB-200H - OWNERSHIP WINNER FRAMEWORK

Purpose

The purpose of this section is to define participant progression stages within the First Condo Program and establish the meaning of Ownership Winner status.

Core Principle

The First Condo Program utilizes a staged progression model.

Not every applicant becomes a Qualified Candidate.

Not every Qualified Candidate is placed within the Ownership Registry.

Not every Registry Participant is selected for an ownership opportunity.

Not every selected participant completes closing.

Not every selected participant becomes an Ownership Winner.

Each stage represents a distinct step within the program and should not be confused with later stages.

Participant Progression Model

Participants may progress through some or all of the following stages:

Applicant

Qualified Candidate

Ownership Registry Participant

Selected Participant

Ownership Opportunity Participant

Closing Participant

Ownership Winner

Advancement between stages is not automatic and remains subject to program requirements, review, documentation, approvals, availability, and applicable program processes.

Applicant Definition

An Applicant is an individual who has submitted information for consideration within the First Condo Program.

Applicant status does not indicate:

• Qualification

• Registry Placement

• Selection

• Mortgage Approval

• Property Access

• Ownership Opportunity Approval

• Closing Approval

• Ownership

Qualified Candidate Definition

A Qualified Candidate is a participant who, following review, appears suitable for consideration within the program.

Qualified Candidate status represents progression within the program but does not create any entitlement to ownership opportunities or ownership outcomes.

Ownership Registry Participant Definition

An Ownership Registry Participant is a Qualified Candidate who has been placed within the Ownership Registry for potential future ownership-opportunity consideration.

Registry placement does not constitute selection and does not create ownership rights.

Selected Participant Definition

A Selected Participant is a Registry Participant who has been invited to proceed with review of a specific ownership opportunity.

Selection authorizes progression to additional review stages.

Selection does not constitute ownership.

Selection does not constitute closing.

Selection does not constitute title transfer.

Selection does not guarantee any future outcome.

Ownership Opportunity Participant Definition

An Ownership Opportunity Participant is a Selected Participant who is actively proceeding through one or more ownership-opportunity review stages, which may include:

• Mortgage Review

• Property Review

• Legal Review

• Program Review

• Funding Review

• Documentation Review

• Other Applicable Reviews

Participation within an ownership opportunity remains subject to all applicable requirements and approvals.

Closing Participant Definition

A Closing Participant is an Ownership Opportunity Participant who has progressed to the closing stage of a specific ownership opportunity.

Closing preparation does not guarantee successful closing.

Closing preparation does not guarantee ownership transfer.

Ownership Winner Definition

An Ownership Winner is a participant who has successfully completed all required stages associated with a specific ownership opportunity and has successfully completed legal ownership transfer following closing.

Ownership Winner status is only achieved after:

• Required Reviews

• Required Approvals

• Required Documentation

• Mortgage Requirements where applicable

• Legal Requirements

• Closing Requirements

• Successful Ownership Transfer

Ownership Winner status is not achieved through:

• Application

• Qualification

• Registry Placement

• Selection

• Opportunity Assignment

• Mortgage Pre-Approval

• Conditional Approval

• Closing Preparation

Ownership Winner status represents successful completion of the ownership-opportunity process.

Stage Separation Principle

Each participant stage must be treated as distinct.

Program communications should accurately identify the participant's actual stage.

Language that blurs participant stages should be avoided.

Transparency Principle

Participants should clearly understand:

• Their current stage

• The next stage

• Remaining requirements

• Outstanding approvals

• Applicable risks

• The fact that progression is not guaranteed

Clear communication helps maintain realistic expectations and informed decision-making.

Guiding Principle

The staged progression model exists to ensure that ownership opportunities are administered in a structured, transparent, and responsible manner while accurately reflecting the participant's actual position within the First Condo Program.
