The Financing was conducted in connection with INX's going-public transaction on the TSX Venture Exchange via a Reverse Take Over of Valdy Investments Ltd. ("Valdy"), whereby Valdy will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of INX (the "Transaction") pursuant to the terms of a securities exchange agreement dated March 31, 2021 among Valdy, INX, the securityholders of INX, and the Co-Lead Agents (as defined below) in exchange for the issuance of Valdy securities to the former securityholders of INX. Upon completion of the Transaction, INX will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valdy, and the combined entity (the "Resulting Issuer") will continue the business of INX.
Shy Datika, Co-Founder & President of INX commented, "INX breaks new ground by connecting the legacy world of equity capital markets with the innovative blockchain-based digital asset class. We are the first company to issue a Security Token through an SEC-registered public offering, and we fortify it now with further transparency and regulatory clarity with this upcoming listing. We strongly believe that digital assets are the future of equity capital markets, and aim to become the bridge between both worlds."
Additional details regarding the private placement and the Transaction are included in a Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2021.
The brokered portion of the Financing was conducted through a syndicate of agents led by PI Financial Corp. and Eight Capital (together, the "Co-Lead Agents"), and including Beacon Securities Limited and Cormark Securities Inc. (together with the Co-Lead Agents, the "Agents").
The completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions as are standard for a transaction of this nature, including but not limited to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
