terms and conditions of INX tokens
1.1 Status. INX Tokens are securities registered under the Securities Act.
1.2 Designation and Number of Tokens. The INX Tokens shall be designated as “INX Tokens.” The number of authorized INX Tokens is 200,000,000 of which 130,000,000 are available for purchase.
1.3 Use on the INX Exchange; Purpose. INX Tokens do not have any rights, uses, purposes, attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied, outside of the INX Exchange, as described in the Agreement.
(a) Payment. INX Tokens may be used or exercised as a form of payment for transaction fees on the INX Exchange. Any discount to transaction fees associated with the use of INX Tokens as payment on the INX Exchange shall be determined by the INX Exchange at its sole discretion, with reasonable notice to Token holders and other participants on the INX Exchange.
(b) Collateral. INX Tokens entitle Token holders to enter short positions on the INX Exchange, the rules of which may require INX Tokens to be used or exercised to post a portion of the collateral deposited with the INX Exchange required for such transactions. The proportion of collateral required to consist of INX Tokens will be implemented as part of the terms and conditions of the INX Exchange, and shall be determined by the INX Exchange at its sole discretion, with reasonable notice to Token holders and other participants on the INX Exchange.
(c) Reserve Fund. A number of INX Tokens held by the Company will be used to establish a capital reserve and liquidity fund to cover shortfalls in transactions on the INX Exchange.
1.4 Cash Participation Rights. Subject to the conditions described herein, each INX Token held by parties other than the Company (or another company forming part of the INX group) shall entitle its holder to receive a pro rata portion of an aggregate amount which equals 20% of the Company’s annual Adjusted Operating Cash Flow for the calendar year prior to the year the distribution is made, as defined below.
(a) Board Determination. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith based upon the audited financial statements of the Company for the preceding fiscal year.
(b) Amount. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow shall be calculated as net cash flow from operating activities, plus cash paid, or minus cash received, for interest and income taxes during the prior calendar year and excluding any cash proceeds from the first transfer of a respective INX Token by the Company to an initial purchaser (“Initial Sale”). Adjusted Operating Cash Flow will be calculated based on the amounts reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flow of the Company that is included in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31 of the year preceding the year of distribution. For purposes of the calculation of the amount of the distribution, cash flow from the sale and purchase of blockchain assets, including cash flow from the sale and purchase of the Token (excluding cash proceeds from an Initial Sale), will be included as cash flow from operating activities regardless of their classification in the consolidated statement of cash flow of the Company.
| B-1 |
(c) Payment Dates. Commencing on April 30, 2019 distributions shall be paid April 30 of each calendar year based on the number of Tokens held by parties other than the Company (or another company forming part of the INX group) as of March 31 of such year. If the distribution date is not a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close (a “Business Day”), the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day.
(d) Distribution Requirements. Distributions will be credited to INX Token holders’ accounts on the INX Exchange. Credits will be divisible and rounded down to five decimal places (one-thousandth of a cent) and holders will be credited from the first dollar of Adjusted Operating Cash Flow that is distributed. INX Token holders may be subject to withdrawal fees, according to the terms and conditions of the INX Exchange.
(e) Currency. Distributions will be paid in USD.
(f) Delivery. Distributions will be delivered to the INX Token holder’s INX Exchange Account.
1.5 Fractional Tokens. Notwithstanding the technical limits of the INX Tokens, INX Tokens may be purchased, sold and transferred in fractional divisions to five decimal places (0.00001).
1.6 Transfer. INX Tokens are freely transferrable securities. However, the only approved platform for trading INX Tokens is the INX Exchange. Purchasers and Sellers of INX Tokens must open and maintain a trading account with the INX Exchange in order to trade INX Tokens. As part of the INX Exchange account onboarding process, all users will be required to provide the Company with “know your customer” forms and related identification documents.
1.7 Repurchases. The Company (or another company forming part of the INX group) shall have the right from time to time to repurchase INX Tokens, pursuant to purchases effected on the INX Exchange, or another platform on which the INX Tokens may be traded, or on a private basis, in accordance with applicable securities Laws.
1.8 Liquidation Preference. If the operations of the INX Exchange are discontinued and the Company is liquidated, after any payments required by applicable Law, a then current INX Token holder will be entitled to a payment from the Company’s remaining funds together (pari passu) with the Company’s other unsecured creditors, prior to any distributions being made to the Company’s shareholders. For purposes of this Section 1.8, the merger or consolidation of the Company with any other company, including a merger in which the holders of INX Tokens receive cash or property for their INX Tokens, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any other change of control of the Company shall not constitute a liquidation and INX Token holders shall have no preferential rights connected therewith except to the extent required by applicable Law.
| B-2 |
1.9 Effect of Restructuring, Merger; Consolidation. The terms of the INX Tokens will not change due to a restructuring of the capital stock of the Company. In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another entity, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the successor entity to the consolidation, merger, or sale will assume the Company’s obligations with respect to the INX Tokens, however there can be no assurances the Company will be successful in doing so.
1.10 Voting Rights. No voting rights are attached to INX Tokens. No INX Token holder will have any right to vote, or otherwise participate in the Company’s shareholder meetings or votes. An INX Token holder will possess none of the rights that a common shareholder would ordinarily be entitled to as holder of common shares of the Company.
1.11 Information Rights. The holders of INX Tokens shall have no rights to receive any reports, notices and other information, except as required by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable state securities Laws.
1.12 Exclusion of Other Rights. Except as may otherwise be required by Law, INX Tokens shall not have any voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, other than those specifically set forth in the Agreement (as amended from time to time). INX Tokens shall have no preemptive or subscription rights. Holders of INX Tokens will not participate in, or benefit from significant corporate transactions in which the Company is a party, such as mergers, a sale of the Company, or sale of the Company’s assets.
1.13 Notices. Except as otherwise set forth herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law all notices provided by the Company to holders of INX Tokens hereunder shall be delivered by a notice sent to the holders of INX Tokens by posting such notice to the INX Exchange website.
