London, UK, 28 November 2023 - Coinsilium Group Limited (AQUIS:COIN) (OTCQB:CINGF), the Web3 investor, advisor and
venture builder, is pleased to announce that it has signed Heads of Terms ("HoT") with investment portfolio company,
Singapore-registered Indorse Pte. Ltd ("Indorse"), a blockchain development company, to acquire a further 2,773 shares
representing an additional stake of 14.76% in the post-transaction share capital of Indorse (the "Transaction").
Coinsilium currently holds 1,433 shares or 10.156% of the current share capital of Indorse. Upon the successful
completion of the Transaction, Coinsilium's total shareholding in Indorse will be 4,206 shares or 24.91% of the total
share capital.
Highlights
-- Coinsilium signs Heads of Terms with blockchain development company Indorse to raise its stake from
10.156% to 24.91%
-- Transaction to be satisfied by the issue of 65m new Coinsilium shares at 3p per share representing a
consideration of GBP1.95m.
-- Indorse generated unaudited gross revenues of approximately SGD1.576m or GBP941,150 over the past 12
months.
-- The Transaction aligns Coinsilium and Indorse commercial interests ahead of soon to be announced new Web3
collaboration.
The completion of the Transaction is subject to due diligence, any necessary approvals and the successful execution of
a share purchase agreement ("SPA"). The consideration will be satisfied by the issue of 65m new ordinary shares in
Coinsilium at a deemed price of 3p per share representing a consideration of GBP1.95m.
Eddy Travia, Chief Executive Officer of Coinsilium, commented: "We are delighted to announce this proposed additional
significant investment in portfolio company Indorse which will be a major development milestone for the Company.
Subject to its successful completion, we believe this Transaction will be highly value accretive for shareholders;
securing a significant interest for the Company in a high growth, revenue-generating blockchain development business
which will also further enhance the Company's capabilities in the Web3 venture building space.
Importantly, this transaction will also underpin our first major Web3 project collaboration with Indorse and pave the
way for further potential collaboration opportunities between the two companies.
We also believe that the timing for this proposed transaction could not be better, given that the Digital Asset markets
are now gaining significant traction, as we head into the Bitcoin 'halving' expected in Spring 2024; a time which has
historically catalysed previous bull phases in the value cycle.
We are also confident that the Web3 sector is on the brink of a new cycle of rapid growth, boosted by a broader
recognition of the benefits of blockchain technology, greater adoption of Web3 and Artificial Intelligence ("AI")
solutions and a somewhat clearer regulatory environment in the space. If our assumptions prove to be correct, Indorse
is well positioned to reap the benefits over the forthcoming cycle; with the resulting demand for their services
representing a key driver for future revenue growth.
These are most exciting times for the Company and our valued shareholders, and we look forward to providing the market
with further updates relating to this value accretive transaction as well as other major developments, in the near
term."
Background
On 8 June 2017, Coinsilium announced an initial investment of SGD100,000 (circa GBP56,100) in Indorse through a
convertible loan agreement. Over the subsequent 10 months, the Company converted its loan to equity and increased its
stake to 10.156% of Indorse's share capital, for a total consideration of SGD450,000 Singapore dollars at an aggregate
valuation of approximately SGD4.5m.
On 19 June 2019, the Company announced that Brand Capital, the investment arm of The Times Group ("Times of India"),
one of India's largest media conglomerates, had made an investment in Indorse of USD2m at a valuation of USD15m,
equivalent to approximately GBP11,857,500 at the time.
In the Company's most recent audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2022, the value of the Company's
shareholding in Indorse was stated as GBP991,899, after exchange rate adjustments, based on the valuation attributed by
the Brand Capital investment, with a prudent discount of 20% applied.
Transaction Rationale
Coinsilium's initial investment in Indorse was motivated in part by the Company's recognition of the Indorse team's
impressive experience in the nascent blockchain industry. Indorse's co-founder and CTO, Gaurang Torvekar, was an early
Ethereum advocate and started coding and deploying smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain as early as 2016.
Indorse's initial business model focused on the build and development of a blockchain powered decentralised social/
professional network. Over the years, its proprietary Developer Skills Assessment Platform has since been utilised by
many high-profile Corporate Enterprise clients including the likes of Grab, Dell, Rolls Royce and renowned
international banks, amongst others. Indorse continues to generate on-going revenues from the provision of Skills
Assessment solutions and continues to service contracts with several reputable Singapore corporations, generating
unaudited gross revenues of approximately SGD1.576m or GBP941,150 over the past 12 months.
The overall rationale for this Transaction is to further align Coinsilium's and Indorse's commercial interests,
especially in the context of certain planned and potential future collaborative ventures between the parties. As stated
in the Company's latest annual report and reiterated in its Regulatory News Release of 2 October 2023, Coinsilium has
now started working with and providing strategic advisory services to certain partners engaged in the development of
applications for a soon to be released decentralised Web3 Social Network ecosystem project ("The Project").
In this respect, we can now report that Indorse also has a material involvement in The Project, as founding
contributors, the main technology build provider and developer of a suite of decentralised Web3 applications for the
Web3 Social Network ecosystem. The Project is due to be launched within the coming months and further updates will be
provided to the market by separate regulatory announcement from the Company in a timely manner.
Proposed Transaction terms
Under terms of the HoT, the valuation for Indorse is based on the latest valuation stated in the Company's audited
accounts for the financial year ended December 2022 of approximately GBP9.92m. The consideration for the purchase of
the additional 2,773 shares in Indorse will be paid through the issuance of 65 million new Coinsilium shares at a
deemed price of 3p per share, or GBP1.95m.
The Transaction will result in:
- Indorse holding 65m Coinsilium shares representing 24.98% of Coinsilium's shares in issue post Transaction.
- Coinsilium, via its wholly owned investment arm Seedcoin Limited, owning 24.91% of Indorse's total equity, or 4,206
shares out of a total number of 16,883 Indorse shares in issue post-Transaction.
Related Party Disclosure
Indorse is a Coinsilium equity portfolio company and advisory client. Coinsilium currently holds a 10.156% interest in
the issued share capital of Indorse. Coinsilium also holds approximately 5.3m IND tokens representing approximately
14.12% of the current IND circulating supply. Eddy Travia is a Director of Indorse Pte. Ltd on behalf of Coinsilium,
performing executive functions and Coinsilium Chairman Malcolm Palle is a non-executive director of Indorse UK Ltd, a
wholly owned UK subsidiary of Indorse Pte. Ltd.
The independent directors, having exercised reasonable care, skill and diligence, believe that the Transaction, being a
related party transaction, is fair and reasonable as far as shareholders of the Company are concerned.
The Directors of Coinsilium Group Limited take responsibility for this announcement.
