THE INDUSTRY The cryptocurrency market developed out of a perceived need for decentralized finance. The crisis of 2008 resulted in a deeply felt and widespread loss of faith in the financial establishment. With the fall of Lehman Brothers and Bear Sterns, it became known that even the largest players in the banking industry are susceptible to suffering the consequences of over investment and unsound portfolio management practices. The decentralized, and thereby trust-agnostic nature of cryptocurrency gave people worldwide the tools to hold and transact unique digital goods and their associated value without any centralized intermediary. Cryptocurrency was designed as a method for decentralized transactions with value held in scarce digital goods. It appeals most strongly in societies where their own governments have made their currency worthless through hyper-inflation. Today, fifty percent (50%) of people globally have bank accounts, and cryptocurrencies are taking a greater foothold among the unbanked. In the first world, the banking system is designed and regulated to create an international insulation against volatility. While the new boom in cryptocurrency is spawning tremendous value, the U.S. retail banking industry is currently not prepared to provide a fluid exchange mechanism to customers with exposure to this market at present. Investment banking interest, however, is already notable and is steadily growing. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has grown more than one hundred and sixty billion USD ($160,000,000,000) in the last year. This is roughly equivalent to half of the value of the United States Exchange Traded Fund Bond market. While unregulated markets are an inherently high-risk proposition, the mechanisms of value transactions evident in the technology continue to draw remarkable investment, resulting in a more mature system. The emergence of major financial institutions as participants in this market brings pressure across the industry to comply with established financial infrastructure standards mitigating volatility and making risk assessment easier for investors interested in exposure to this market. The market for fiat currency to cryptocurrency has only been operational for a few years. Illustrative of the current level of maturity of the industry are the relatively large differences between prices in fiat currency of Bitcoin on the various major exchanges. Opportunities for arbitrage between these exchanges exist on paper, but frequently cannot be realized due to high costs of transaction between various crypto assets and fiat currency. In other words, the best prices will come from vendors with the lowest liquidity, and where the order may not be realized quickly, or at the price it was placed. Even the largest and most established providers charge fees as high as seven percent (7%) for fiat transactions. Along with fiat transaction offerings, the Vaultbanc Card will offer the ability to hold funds in the major cryptocurrencies with the same liquidity and transaction costs. The business model is not based on revenue derived from spreads on these transactions, unlike any other exchange operating today. The Vaultbank Token is intended to offer investors exposure to a portfolio of other assets, but will offer unique liquidity to customers with existing or desired exposure to cryptocurrency assets. Much like the technology boom of the early 1990s, many of the pioneers in this field were amateurs and hobbyists, and the infrastructure to support the demand for their innovations is taking time to build. The remarkable capital influx shows a widespread market consensus around the overall value of the technology in the economy long term. While a future correction is likely as with any emerging technology, the players establishing themselves in the market using today’s capital availability and a clearly sustainable and stress tested strategy are likely to dominate what is becoming a significant sector of the global economy. With the Vaultbank Token operating as a binding stake in a security, in the event

18

of a capital crunch in the cryptocurrency market, the Vaultbank Token hopes to be uniquely positioned as a liquid and secure investment. Despite many tokens being purely speculative, the emergence of Ethereum and smart contracts has facilitated transparency through blockchain technology, along with many other applications. One of the most contentious regulatory issues is the sale of company equity or rights to a real estate or other portfolio through a token sale. These applications are remarkably close in form and identical in spirit to shares or mortgage backed securities but are currently not registered or regulated by the SEC. This is changing rapidly, first with the release by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the DAO Report on July 25, 2017, followed by other foreign jurisdictions’ securities regulators issuing guidance. In some countries and jurisdictions, such as China, South Korea, and Macau, initial coin offerings and token sales have been wholly banned. Much as with Silicon Valley and the tech boom, the true transition from technology concept to economic segment happens in partnership with the establishment. Venture capital and investment banking were instrumental not only to financing the explosion in internet technology, but also in identifying the most promising value propositions. While a capital crunch was experienced in 1999 and 2000, the more established, conservative, and regulated players in the industry have been successful in the long term, and new giants emerge and continue to thrive.

THE TECHNOLOGY Blockchain technology is still young, but it has already proved its capability as an immutable ledger. Bitcoin is a purely speculative token, and its value much like diamonds or gold, outside of industrial uses, is entirely driven by scarcity and the guarantee for the holder that this good is unique and transactable. The advent of smart contracts enabled this technology to be used for more than the creation of scarce digital assets with purely speculative value. Today, one can create cryptocurrencies that, unlike Bitcoin, offer a legally binding stake in a venture, a company, or a portfolio. Companies seeking capital traditionally use a venture capital or public offering mechanism to raise the needed funds. Blockchain technology allows firms to issue the equivalent of shares through an initial coin offering which is a smart contract that registers the equity stake of every investor through the immutable ledger of the blockchain. The smart contracts representing equity stakes or other forms of participation in the project raising capital are distributed in the form of tokens and offered on a platform that investors can access from anywhere in the world. The cost advantages of this method of financing compared to an initial public offering, combined with unfettered access to international capital markets, offer a compelling value proposition for firms seeking to raise funds. This approach has garnered significant market validation as firms seeking capitalization conducted through Initial Coin Offerings have already raised more investment in 2017 than combined U.S. venture capital investments for 2016.

THE PROBLEM STATEMENT

There are few safe harbors in the financial system. Asset categories such as highway bonds, treasury bills, and exchange traded funds, resist all but cataclysmic collapses of the kind experienced during the great depression. It is largely due to regulations that came out of that period that we owe the fact this type of event has not occurred again, such as rules governing securities investment, corporate governance and reporting, and federally insured banking. However, one of the side effects is that these assets are often comparatively low yield.

The bond market is one of the largest and most stable markets globally, particularly United States government debt securities, which totaled thirty-eight point one trillion USD ($38.1T) as of the fourth quarter of 2016. This market is primarily composed of assets with very low liquidity, where terms are frequently over a fifteen (15) to thirty (30) year period. Yields are currently in the two percent (2%) range. As investment vehicles, they are primarily designed to offset inflation. The advantages of such debt vehicles were illustrated during the crisis of the year 2008 when they offered a rare source of stability. During this time, many of the portfolios of Wall Street were under pressure due to a wide variety of asset classes being significantly devalued simultaneously. For a high net-worth individual or institutional investor with low risk appetite seeking investment options, few available options offer the safety of bonds. For many investors, the primary problem with bonds is their liquidity limitations. Financial markets dynamically and dramatically change through the passage of time, so much so that what may be considered a sound investment in a bear market, for instance, may seem relatively insufficiently lucrative in a bull market. While exchange traded fund (“ETF”) bonds might have shorter terms comparatively, they are in general terms of a period of years and remain subject to suffering the effects of macroeconomic downturns. It is a smaller market, in comparison, but still quite significant at two hundred seventy-three billion USD ($273,000,000,000) as of 2015. The difference in yields between U.S. Debt securities and ETF Bonds is not very significant, as most ETF Bonds offer little over two percent (2%). They might have shorter terms, but they, generally, over a period of years and remain liable to suffer from macroeconomic downturns. In the case of many securities, a prior relationship of at least thirty (30) days on the low end is required before an investor can be made aware of the potential investment. This encourages long-term relationships between brokerages and their clients. At times, this can prevent the awareness of certain investment bank created securities from reaching the client of competing firms without the use of an intermediary institution that deals with all the institutions involved, resulting in increased fees for the investor. Even then, often the only opportunities the client may have access to learn about are the potential investments they can research in secondary sources, or the ones they are recommended from their individual brokerage firm. These restrictions are often contributory to the inefficiencies of the system and can leave many busy investors at the behest of their individual brokers to make them aware of potential investments. This, in part, is caused by the limited channels in which many securities are allowed to be advertised to potential investors. In a pre-digital age, when secondary sources were hard to come by, often due to their expense, these inefficiencies were less burdensome to the system. Today, the Internet allows for potential investors to access a myriad of avenues to investigate potential investments (both registered with the SEC and not), and the opportunity to become knowledgeable about the investment opportunities outside of traditional channels. Generally, the fee structure of traditional brokerages means being charged at every step of the process, from inquiry, consultation, investment, buy in, and liquidation, in addition to the prospect of a monthly fee being assessed. These fees can result in the diminishment of the yield and the liquidity of the investment overall (sometimes through the adding of financial barriers at each step of the process) of certain kinds of investment for certain kinds of investors on certain time scales. Normally, a financial institution in the case of an asset-backed security such as a mortgage-backed security would be “securitized” or bundled so that investors can buy them. In some cases, the assets are bundled into what are called “tranches,” which have a weighted priority in the repayment system. While most of these securities are bundled by federal organizations, some are implemented by private banks and are called “private label.” Most of the federal organizations issue these securitizations backed by mortgages. Then, they can be bought and sold on the secondary market, although their functionality for

20

fractionalization of the security comes with added expense, as it is often handled by a separate desk that keeps the security and structures a payout that is equivalent to the fraction the investor desired to liquidate, leaving the secondary market primarily limited by caps as well as the size of the bill or note. It can serve to decrease liquidity during the time delay between the investor wanting to liquidate, and the database processes required to conduct the trade. Yet, before anything can happen, an investor must become interested in the security.

THE VAULTBANC SOLUTION Vaultbanc brings together financial industry expertise, machine learning talent, and revolutionary blockchain technology. Vaultbank.io intends to offer debit card capabilities and tokens backed by secured credit assets. Vaultbank Tokens will enable industry leading foreign exchange rates and asset management with a portfolio of lucrative secured credit assets, insured, and robust returns possibly translating into stability for investors. Vaultbank Tokens will reflect investments in mortgages, second lien mortgages, real estate bridge loans, auto loans, equipment loans and leases, commercial mortgage loans, asset based loans and factoring contracts. Unlike a traditional security, however, the immutable ledger of the blockchain will be used as a legal vehicle to obtain, store, and transact the investment or any portion of the investment in the security. Vaultbanc will potentially allow investors to participate in the income generated by the Fund. The issuer of the Vaultbank Tokens will be Vaultbanc utilizing a state-of-the-art issuance platform, Ordebook.io. Vaultbanc will hold one hundred percent (100%) of the interests of the Fund upon successful closing of this Offering in exchange for part of the net proceeds of this Offering. The Fund will be managed by the Fund Manager. In the future, Vaultbanc intends to set-up an additional private fund as part of its business strategy that will offer investor competitive returns.

THE VAULTBANC CONCEPT

THE VAULTBANC FUND A. Fund Overview

The Fund is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the Limited Liability Companies Law, 2016 of the Cayman Islands and is wholly owned by Vaultbanc. It is expected to commence investment operations in the fourth quarter of 2017. Vaultbanc and the Fund have entered into an Operating Agreement setting out the rights and obligation of each party.

B. Fund Manager

The Fund will be managed and advised by the Fund Manager, appointed pursuant to Vaultbanc Board resolution dated November 12, 2017 and the Investment Advisor Agreement. The Fund Manager will be responsible for the Fund’s operations and will perform all services and activities relating to the management of the Fund’s assets, liabilities and operations. The Fund Manager, Vaultbanc, and the Fund have entered into the Investment Advisor Agreement and the Fund Manager will provide the Fund with its management team, along with appropriate support personnel.

Page 27: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

21

Pursuant to the Investment Advisor Agreement, Vaultbanc has delegated all investment management powers under the Operating Agreement to the Fund Manager to render investment management services, invest the assets of the Fund, and manage the Fund. The Fund has granted to the Fund Manager full discretion as to all investment decisions regarding the Fund’s assets, including, but not limited to, authority to deal in all securities (defined therein) and full authority to exercise all rights incidental to ownership of such securities. The Fund Manager is authorized to select and engage for the Fund a custodian or custodians to take and have possession of the Fund’s assets. However, the Fund Manager has no authority under the Investment Advisor Agreement to take or have possession of any assets in the Fund’s securities account or to direct delivery of any securities or payment of any funds held in the Fund’s accounts to itself or to direct any disposition of such securities or funds except to the Fund. The Fund Manager will be responsible for sourcing credit assets for the Fund and identifying assets appropriate for the Fund. The Fund Manager will employ its Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to identify certain assets to be purchased by the Fund. The Fund Manager will also be responsible for ensuring assets are directly serviced at all times (principally by the originator of the credit assets) as well as maintaining a back-up servicer. The Fund Manager will also be responsible for asset management monitoring and reporting for the Fund, including the retention of accountants, tax and legal service providers. Although the Fund Manager currently intends to pursue the investment plan, objective and strategy set forth in this Offering Memorandum, the Fund Manager may change any aspect of its strategy at its discretion at any time based on the economic, financial and global situation and shall have complete autonomy in managing the Fund.

C. Investment Objective and Strategy

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide attractive returns on invested capital through a proprietary quantitative approach, to be provided by the Fund Manager, to underwrite credit assets. The duration of the investments held will be between eighteen (18) months to thirty-six (36) months. The Fund will adhere to an investment strategy driven by data science, in which machine learning within fully non-parametric statistical models are applied to the problem of expected gains in financial investments. The Fund Manager will seek to identify “optimal” loans to invest in and utilizes a multi-stage approach to purchase such loans. The Fund seeks diversification of its assets through investments in loans of varying sizes and maturities, based on the type of loan. The Fund may use additional strategies to achieve its investment objective, and also intends to employ leverage, as further described below.

The Fund may enter into an arrangement with other investment funds managed by the Fund Manager with the same or substantially similar to the Fund’s investment objectives to either allow other funds to contribute their assets to the Fund to invest, or to pursue its investment activities by investing all or a portion of its assets in a master fund that will conduct the investment activities described in this Offering Memorandum. Investment Roadmap

D. Investment Sourcing and Criteria

The Fund’s portfolio investment strategy will be led by the Fund Manager with inputs from certain Vaultbanc employees and consultants. Such employees and consultants may change from time to time without notice to the Investors. The primary assets are credit assets that will be purchased from non-bank originators. The assets will range from mortgages, second lien mortgages, real estate bridge loans, auto loans, equipment loans and leases, commercial mortgage loans, asset based loans, and factoring contracts.

Certain non-bank financial institutions originate the credit assets and will generally retain all servicing responsibilities. The Fund will purchase the credit assets from time to time on a regular basis, either in pools, discrete whole loans, or participations in whole loans. The typical originator will continue to be the primary servicer of the credit assets originated, charging the buyers of the credit assets a nominal servicing fee for performing the billing and collecting function, as well as doing any special servicing in the event of a default to ensure the loans are current and fully repaid.

In addition to the servicing function provided by the loan originators, the Fund Manager intends to engage a third-party entity to be a “backup” servicer in the event one or more of the originators fails to perform their duties in any way, thereby further ensuring the continuation of cash collections and repayments of the credit assets.

Today, sixty percent (60%) of U.S. mortgage credits are held by non-banks, up from thirty percent (30%) in 2013. Over four trillion USD ($4T) in U.S. mortgages alone are available to select from hundreds of non-bank credit platforms. The Fund Manager will be tasked with approving the solvency and risk associated with the platforms themselves and identifying the credit profiles of originated assets, from regulatory compliance on originations, volumes, collateral, duration and rate, to quality of management and servicing. Mr. Trombley, along with the analytical team from the Fund Manager, will be tasked with selecting the highest performing assets available within these platforms for the Fund’s portfolio, as well as purging the highest risk assets from the Fund’s portfolio.

Due to the number of credits available, the Fund Manager will employ machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) rather than having humans look at each individual loan marketplace. ML employs statistical algorithms over thousands of variables and millions of observations that are capable of detecting persistent effects across all aspects of data. The Fund’s asset selection strategy will seek the mathematical intersection of risk mitigation and maximum yield for each loan selected for the portfolio. The Fund Manager will utilize a wide array of known and proven machine learning methods as well as proprietary methods developed in house to optimize returns.

The Fund Manager has access to data pools that allows it to create a more complete profile of each credit thereby creating a more accurate risk assessment. Through the Fund Manager’s platform, the Fund will be able to identify the lowest risk and highest yield credits available on

Page 29: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

23

the vetted platforms. The Fund Manager has a unique rigorous origination platform due diligence program, wherein the Fund Manager will identify the best in class origination engines from which it will buy loans.

Securities, such as residential mortgage-backed securities, typically are tranched, and each tranche is independently evaluated by a ratings agency. In the context of such securities, a system of preferential tranches is established such that investors are paid out in an established order often according to the risk involved. So, in the context of a mortgage-backed security, if a portion of the portfolio defaults, then a lower tier tranche will be impacted much more significantly than a higher tier tranche. However, as a mortgage-backed portfolio might be composed of mortgages with higher yields and more risk, the lower tranches will have more exposure to returns compensating for the higher risk associated with the investment. Typically banks or other risk-averse institutions will opt for the more expensive and safe higher tiers tranches, these are the specific segments of a security associated with ‘AAA’ ratings assigned by independent ratings agencies such as Fitch and Standard & Poor’s. The higher risk segments of the security will be typically sold to institutional investors, such as hedge funds, whose model relies on maximizing the yield of risky assets.

The portfolio composition will be designed by the Fund Manager. The Fund intends to invest in a diverse portfolio of credit instruments ranging from six percent (6%) mortgages to twenty percent (20%) factoring contracts, with an average yield of between nine and a half percent (9.5%) and ten and a half percent (10.5%). As the Fund will ultimately benefit from leveraging its portfolio at a cost of about five percent (5%), the Fund expects its net levered portfolio yield to be between fifteen percent (15%) and twenty percent (20%).

E. Fund’s Risk Management Policy

Controlling risk is essential to achieving superior long-term results. Diversification and commitment to high quality assets are integral to the Fund Manager’s risk control approach. • Risk Level: The Fund Manager’s risk management team will monitor the Fund’s portfolio

performance in real time using innovative quantitative analytics and business intelligence tools.

• Stress Tests: The Fund Manager will run a number of different stress tests on portfolios on a regular basis for testing the risk tolerances. These tests include historical and forward-looking scenarios.

• Liquidity: The Fund Manager intends to maintain a liquidity reserve to ensure it is able to meet any cash requirements.

Managing Investment Risk

• Portfolio Risk: The Fund Manager will carefully monitor and manage portfolio and

consolidated cash flow to maximize the effectiveness of its decisions and the overall efficiency of the use of funds.

• Model Risk: Each investment model will go through a testing and validation process prior to deployment and the Fund Manager will document and maintain the history of model changes.

Page 30: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

24

• Market Risk: The Fund Manager will closely monitor various market risk factors for both exposure monitoring and performance benchmark purpose. Key metrics that will be monitored include:

o Market Interest Rate; o Foreign Exchange Risk; and o Liquidity Risk.

• Regulatory Risk: The Fund Manager will rigorously monitor the rapidly changing regulatory and compliance environment. Its experienced legal and compliance teams will seek to ensure that the managers, vendors and third-party partners have regulatory and compliance procedures that are as robust.

F. Fund’s NAV Calculation Methodology

The NAV shall be calculated as in the following manner: NAV = (net interest accrued - net loss accrued)/(total principal outstanding + total cash) The principal amounts, investments, currency balances and other assets of the Fund, the value of which is expressed in currency other than USD, shall be valued after taking into account the market rate or rates of exchange in force on the applicable valuation date. The above valuation procedures may be modified by the Fund Manager in its reasonable discretion, if and to the extent that the Fund Manager determines that such modifications are advisable in order to reflect factors which may impact the value or cost of any investment, including (i) restrictions upon marketability (including the suspension or termination of trading of any liquid investment in any market), (ii) the expected costs, including brokerage commissions, of liquidating any liquid investment or other asset, or (iii) any distribution made with respect to any liquid investment or any accruals thereon.

G. Fund NAV Reporting The Fund will report publicly the NAV of the Fund on a quarterly basis on the Vaultbanc website, vaultbank.io. The Fund intends to appoint Theorem Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”) to perform certain accounting, back-office, data processing and related professional services and will enter into an agreement for this purpose. In performing its duties, the Administrator will rely, and generally will rely, on information provided to it by the Fund Manager and/or any other person who the Administrator reasonably believes to be acting with the actual and/or ostensible authority of the Fund and the Fund Manager.

H. Fund Management Fee The Fund Manager shall, for its services rendered under the Investment Advisor Agreement, receive and the Fund shall pay to the Fund Manager, an amount per month (an “Asset Based Fee”) equal to one twelfth (1/12) of one percent (1%) of the net asset value of the Fund’s securities accounts (approximately one percent (1%) per year). The Asset Based Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears as of the last day of each month based on the net asset value of the

Page 31: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

25

Fund as of the close of business as of such date. If the Fund receives capital, including its initial capital, on a date other than the first day of a month, the Fund will be charged a prorated portion of the Asset Based Fee for that month with respect to such contribution, based on the number of days remaining in that month. If there is a withdrawal of assets from the Fund’s, whether on termination of the Investment Advisor Agreement or otherwise, on any date other than the last day of the month, an Asset Based Fee shall be assessed on such withdrawal or termination date, which fee shall be prorated for such month based on the number of days elapsed in that month. The fee above may be amended from time to time by the Fund Manager with the Fund’s written consent. Further, the Fund will reimburse the Fund Manager for all direct expenses of third parties and the compensation of the management team.

THE VAULTBANC CARD

The Vaultbanc debit card (“Vaultbanc Card”) will be a physical, virtual, prepaid and debit MasterCard and mobile application which will allow for the use of one hundred twenty (120) foreign currencies from a single card at competitive rates on the market for customers. In addition to the above, leading cryptocurrencies will be supported for seamless transactions and cryptocurrency exchanges and at competitive rates. Vaultbanc, through a series of strategic partnerships, will provide debit cards that will be accepted worldwide, and allow customers to pay with cryptocurrency through traditional plastic debit cards. Account holders will be empowered to select from multiple cryptocurrencies for use as tender, and when they initiate a transaction (e.g. a dinner that costs $83.65), either prepaid debit cash will be used or the holder can elect to use Ether, Bitcoin, or other cryptocurrencies totaling that amount, which will then be sold at spot price to complete the transaction. Since Vaultbanc Cards will be accepted at the point of sale terminals it will be used as tender for purchases. Furthermore, Vaultbanc intends to also provide transaction services for other partner tokens, enabling other tokens to be used as tender.

In the marketplace for similar lifestyle cards, in addition to a per transaction fee, most cards charge a percentage of the market rate of the spread of the currency exchange. Customers who travel to multiple countries with various forms of currency will inevitably run into the “cash withdrawal fee” and “currency transaction fee.” These charges are often a percentage of the transaction plus a flat fee, industry; leading fees are between 2.75% - 2.99%, as demonstrated in the table below.

Page 32: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

26

Vaultbanc could potentially save customers up to seventy percent (70%) on these fees. Vaultbanc, for example, in a GDP to EURO exchange conversion, will charge a one percent (1%) flat fee for “non-Sterling transaction fees.” This example is equally valid and holds true for any currency pairing. Funds can be exchanged at point of sale (industry average two and three quarters percent (2.75%) versus Vaultbanc one percent (1%) fee, or currencies can also be exchanged via mobile application. Additionally, on ATM withdrawals, no fee will be assessed versus the industry average of one and a half percent (1.5%). The Vaultbanc mobile application will contain additional functionality to transfer funds in any currency between merchants, as well as friends and family accounts resulting in a zero percent (0%) money transfer fee. PayPal offers similar functionality for transfers in multiple currencies between accounts, but charges four and four tenths percent (4.4%) fee for these transfers between accounts in various countries.

Vaultbanc will ensure that its processes and procedures are in compliance with the regulatory obligations applied by the Financial Conduct Authority and HM Revenue & Customs and high standards are maintained, and that regular audit processes are in place. While the problem of payment card fraud losses remains an industrywide problem, Vaultbanc intends to employ the Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) standard, i.e. the chip & PIN solution. While the EMV standard is not a total solution, as it does little to prevent card data from being captured, stored and reproduced in “card not present” environments (typically key in CVV code i.e. the 3 digits on the back), contactless payments are now being employed to reinvent (and remove) the card number. In the case of contactless payments, a randomly generated value used to replace sensitive information protects card and account data by substituting the thirteen (13) to nineteen (19) digit number on a payment card and encodes a unique sequence of numbers or alphanumeric characters on its magnetic strip.

As with other lifestyle cards in this product category, certain perks and rewards will be associated with the Vaultbanc Card. To provide the such perks to the customers, Vaultbanc will be entering into agreements with third party participants. These perks may include, but may not be limited to,

Page 33: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

27

room upgrades upon check in at two thousand (2,000) hotels globally, early/late check in at these hotels, complimentary WiFi, full breakfast, in addition to one hundred USD ($100), which can be used for hotel services, such as food & beverage or spa services. At over one thousand five hundred (1,500+) participating restaurants, a fifty percent (50%) discount will be offered when you use the Vaultbanc Card. Additional benefits will include access via the mobile applications to Formula One competitions and events, yacht charters, days out, retail stores, theatre and concert tickets, and other exclusive competitions. The Vaultbanc Card will be a partnership through Volopa. This will allow integration from a mobile application to facilitate management of travel itineraries and links to many travel partners for e-receipt management. Managers will have access to reports to be able to track what is being spent on travel within the business. In addition, managers can approve and manage these travel requests. Managers will also have access to a database of negotiated and published prices, direct connections, and web-only prices on travel from a series of multiple global distribution systems.

In summation, the Vaultbanc Card will through the partnership with Volopa provide liquidity in global currencies as well as cryptocurrencies, to all its customers. This will provide a level of convenience comparable to a debit account without any maintenance fees.

G. OTHER REQUIREMENTS

(i) The USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002, all United States brokerage firms have been required

to have comprehensive anti-money laundering programs in effect. (ii) What is money laundering?

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate source or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.

(iii) How big is the problem, and why is it important?

The use of the United States financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could taint our financial markets. According to the United States State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at one trillion USD ($1T) a year.

(iv) What is Vaultbanc required to do to help eliminate money laundering?

Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, Vaultbanc’s anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits and establish policies and procedures designed to detect and report suspicious transactions, and ensure compliance with the new laws and rules. As part of Vaultbanc’s required program, it may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW Vaultbanc intends to bring together financial industry expertise, machine learning talent, and revolutionary blockchain technology.

A prospective portfolio of lucrative credit assets will provide secure, insured, robust returns for the investors. Vaultbanc will initially have the following two (2) revenue streams: (i) Returns from the Fund’s portfolio; and (ii) Vaultbanc Card transaction fees.

C. STRATEGY AND OPPORTUNITY

Vaultbanc plans to acquire credit assets from various credit originators. Vaultbanc intends to enter into "forward flow agreements" to acquire uniquely and actively selected credit assets. Vaultbanc expects to be able to acquire between fifteen million USD ($15,000,000) to one hundred million USD ($100,000,000) of such assets per month. Vaultbanc will initially use the capital from this Offering for such purchases until between seventy percent (70%) to eighty percent (80%) of the ICO proceeds have been invested, and thereafter will utilize warehouse credit facilities to continue to grow the portfolio. Vaultbanc anticipates that it will take less than six (6) months to invest around seventy percent (70%) to eighty percent (80%) of the proceeds of this Offering and then will leverage to grow its portfolio to ultimately reach between 4:1 - 10:1 leverage in its diverse portfolio of credit assets. Vaultbanc intends to revolutionize transactions with cryptocurrencies by tackling the four (4) essential hurdles of the securities distribution market: (i) Lack of ability to use a security as a fungible form of payment; (ii) Low liquidity; (iii) High transaction costs (i.e. hedge funds); and (iv) Low yields from safe security investments (i.e. Bonds).

As of the date of this Offering Memorandum, Vaultbanc is not subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings pending or threatened against Vaultbanc.

I. TAX CONSIDERATIONS

(i) GENERAL

The tax characterization of the Vaultbank Tokens is uncertain and an investor must seek its own tax advice in connection with an investment in Vaultbank Tokens. An investment in Vaultbank Tokens may result in adverse tax consequences to investors, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements. It is possible that the income of Vaultbanc would be subject to significant amounts of income and/or withholding taxes. You should consult your own professional advisors to obtain advice on the income tax consequences that apply to you. Vaultbank Tokens may be subject to changes in U.S. and non-U.S. national and state tax laws, tax proposals, other governmental policies or regulations and governmental, administrative or judicial interpretation of the same. There can be no assurance that tax laws, tax proposals, policies, or regulations, or the interpretation thereof, will not be changed in a manner which will fundamentally alter the tax consequences to Vaultbank Token holders acquiring, holding, or disposing of Vaultbank Tokens. For all of the aforesaid reasons and others set forth and not set forth herein, Vaultbank Tokens involve a certain degree of risk. Any person considering the purchase of Vaultbank Tokens should be aware of these and other factors set forth in this Offering Memorandum and should consult with his/her legal, tax, and financial advisors prior to making an investment in Vaultbank Tokens.

Page 56: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

50

Vaultbank Tokens should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose all of their total investment.

(ii) CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Uncertainty Regarding the U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Vaultbank Tokens

Many significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of virtual currencies, such as Vaultbank Tokens, are uncertain, and Vaultbanc does not intend to request a ruling from the IRS on these issues. On March 25, 2014, the IRS released a notice (the “Notice”), which discusses certain aspects of the treatment of virtual currencies, such as Bitcoins, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the Notice, the IRS stated that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) Bitcoins are “property” that is not currency and (ii) Bitcoins may be held as capital assets. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will not alter its position with respect to Bitcoins and other virtual currencies, such as Vaultbank Tokens, in the future or that a court would uphold the treatment set forth in the Notice. If Vaultbank Tokens were properly treated as currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain recognized on the disposition of Vaultbank Tokens would constitute ordinary income, and losses recognized on the disposition of Vaultbank Tokens could be subject to special reporting requirements applicable to “reportable transactions.” The remainder of this discussion assumes that Vaultbank Tokens are properly treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as property held for investment that is not currency.

Prospective investors are strongly urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the substantial uncertainty regarding the tax consequences of acquiring, holding, and disposing Vaultbank Tokens. General

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Vaultbank Tokens that are purchased in this offering by U.S. Holders (as defined below) and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below), assuming that such Vaultbank Tokens are properly treated as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion is limited to certain U.S. federal income tax considerations to beneficial owners of the Vaultbank Tokens who are initial purchasers pursuant to this offering and hold the Vaultbank Tokens as a capital asset under the Code. This discussion is a summary only and does not consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of a Vaultbank Token by a prospective investor in light of its particular circumstances, including: • financial institutions or financial services entities; • broker-dealers; • taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market tax accounting rules; • tax-exempt entities; • governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof; • insurance companies; • regulated investment companies;

Page 57: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

51

• real estate investment trusts; • expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States • persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting

shares; • persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share

options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

• persons that hold our securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

• U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or

• U.S. Holders who acquire our securities for property other than U.S. dollars. Moreover, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof, and such provisions may be repealed, revoked, modified or subject to differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. For example, members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives recently have proposed bills that would, if enacted in any currently proposed form, make sweeping changes to U.S. tax rules affecting businesses and individuals (collectively, the “2017 Tax Act”). This discussion does not address any aspect of the 2017 Tax Act. Furthermore, this discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift, estate or Medicare contribution tax laws, or state, local or non-United States tax laws. As noted above, Vaultbanc has not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion. This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold the Vaultbank Tokens through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our securities, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner or member in the partnership or other pass-through entity generally will depend on the status of the partner or member and the activities of the partnership or other pass-through entity. If you are a partner or member of a partnership or other pass-through entity holding Vaultbank Tokens, we urge you to consult your own tax advisor. THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF VAULTBANK TOKENS. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF VAULTBANK TOKENS, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL NON-INCOME, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

52

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Vaultbank Token for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is: • an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal

income tax purposes; • a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax

purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof;

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust if such trust has in effect a valid election to continue to be treated as a “United States person” (within the meaning of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and (2) one or more “United States persons” have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, Vaultbanc intends to treat each U.S. Holder as the beneficial owner of the Vaultbank Tokens, and the remainder of this discussion assumes that each U.S. Holder is properly treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the beneficial owner of the Vaultbank Tokens. When a U.S. Holder purchases Vaultbank Tokens for cash, the U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the Vaultbank Tokens will be equal to the amount paid for such Vaultbank Tokens. This discussion assumes that each U.S. Holder will acquire all of its Vaultbank Tokens for cash on the same date and at the same price per Vaultbank Token. U.S. Holders that acquire, or contemplate acquiring, multiple lots of Vaultbank Tokens at different times or prices or using other virtual currencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding their tax bases and holding periods in their Vaultbank Tokens. Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as dividends (without reduction for any non-U.S. tax withheld from such distribution) the amount of any distribution of cash or other property (other than certain distributions of Vaultbank Tokens or rights to acquire Vaultbank Tokens), including Bitcoins and Ethereum, paid on the Vaultbank Tokens to the extent the distribution is paid out of Vaultbanc’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its Vaultbank Tokens (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Vaultbank Tokens (the treatment of which is described under “Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Vaultbank Tokens” below).

Page 59: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

53

Dividends paid by Vaultbanc will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, under tax laws currently in effect, dividends generally will be taxed as “qualified dividend income” at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate (see “Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Vaultbank Tokens” below) only if the Vaultbank Tokens are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, we are not a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the previous taxable year, and certain other requirements are met. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of such lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to the Vaultbank Tokens. Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Vaultbank Tokens

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of our Vaultbank Tokens. Assuming that the Vaultbank Tokens are not treated as currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Vaultbank Tokens exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether certain redemption rights described in this Offering Memorandum may suspend the running of the applicable holding period of the Vaultbank Tokens for this purpose. The amount of gain or loss recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition generally will be equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Vaultbank Tokens disposed of. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Vaultbank Tokens generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost reduced by any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be taxed at reduced rates of taxation. The deduction of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Any brokerage or other transaction fee incurred by a U.S. Holder in purchasing Vaultbank Tokens will be added to the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Vaultbank Tokens. Similarly, any brokerage fee or other transaction fee incurred by a U.S. Holder in selling Vaultbank Tokens will reduce the amount realized by the U.S. Holder with respect to the sale. Redemption of Vaultbank Tokens

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, in the event that a U.S. Holder’s Vaultbank Tokens are redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this Offering Memorandum, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption by us qualifies as a sale of the Vaultbank Tokens under Code Section 302. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Vaultbank Tokens, the U.S. Holder will be treated as described under “Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Vaultbank Tokens” above. If the redemption by us does not qualify as a sale of Vaultbank Tokens, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences described above under “Taxation of Distributions.” Whether a redemption by us qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of Vaultbank Tokens treated as held by the U.S. Holder

Page 60: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

54

relative to all of our Vaultbank Tokens outstanding both before and after such redemption. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a redemption of their Vaultbank Tokens. Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least seventy five percent (75%) of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least twenty five percent (25%) of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least fifty percent (50%) of its assets in a taxable year (ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least twenty five percent (25%) of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of assets giving rise to passive income. Because we intend to primarily invest in the Fund, we believe that it is likely that we will meet the PFIC asset or income test for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2017 and for future taxable years. However, our actual PFIC status for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2017 or any future taxable year. Although our PFIC status is determined annually, an initial determination that Vaultbanc is a PFIC will generally apply for subsequent years to a U.S. Holder that held Vaultbank Tokens while we were a PFIC, whether or not we meet the test for PFIC status in those subsequent years. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of the Vaultbank Tokens and the U.S. Holder did not make either a timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) the Vaultbank Tokens, as described below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Vaultbank Tokens and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Vaultbank Tokens during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Vaultbank Tokens). Under these rules: • the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S.

Holder’s holding period for the Vaultbank Tokens; • the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder

recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S.

Page 61: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

55

Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

• the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

• an additional amount equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder with respect to the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

In general, if we are determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may be able to avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to the Vaultbank Tokens by making a timely and valid QEF election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends. A U.S. Holder generally may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge. In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. Holder must receive a PFIC annual information statement from us. We do not intend, however, to determine the information required to be included on a PFIC annual information statement, nor do we intend to provide U.S. Holders with a PFIC annual information statement. Therefore, you should not expect to be eligible to make a QEF election. If we are a PFIC and, at any time, have a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if we receive a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of our interest in, the lower-tier PFIC or the U.S. Holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. We intend to file an IRS Form 8832 electing for the Fund to be classified as a disregarded entity, rather than a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which election will cause the Fund not to be a PFIC. However, it is possible that other foreign subsidiaries of ours will be PFICs. We do not intend to provide U.S. Holders with a PFIC annual information statement with respect to an interest in any lower-tier PFIC. A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS. The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF election are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to the Vaultbank Tokens under their particular circumstances. Tax Reporting

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

56

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to file an IRS Form 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) to report a transfer of property (including cash, Bitcoin, or Ethereum) to us. Substantial penalties may be imposed on a U.S. Holder that fails to comply with this reporting requirement, and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. Furthermore, certain U.S. Holders who are individuals and certain entities will be required to report information with respect to such U.S. Holder’s investment in “specified foreign financial assets” on IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets), subject to certain exceptions. Persons who are required to report specified foreign financial assets and fail to do so may be subject to substantial penalties, and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes may be extended in the event of a failure to comply. Potential investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the foreign financial asset and other reporting obligations and their application to an investment in the Vaultbank Tokens. Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. Holder.” As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of the Vaultbank Tokens who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes: • a non-resident alien individual (other than certain former citizens and residents of the

United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates); • a foreign corporation; or • an estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder; but generally, does not include an individual who is present in the United States for one hundred and eighty-three (183) days or more in the taxable year of disposition. If you are such an individual, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale or other disposition of the Vaultbank Tokens. Dividends (including constructive distributions) paid or deemed paid to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of the Vaultbank Tokens generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States). In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other disposition of the Vaultbank Tokens unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States). Dividends (including constructive distributions) and gains that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax

Page 63: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

57

purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a thirty percent (30%) rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate. Tax Consequences to Vaultbanc

Foreign corporations, such as Vaultbanc, generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless they are deemed to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business. It is expected that Vaultbanc will conduct its activities in a manner so as to meet the requirements of a safe harbor under Section 864(b)(2) of the Code under which it may engage in trading in stocks or securities or certain commodities without being deemed to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business. However, if certain of Vaultbanc’s (and/or the Fund’s) activities were determined not to be of the type described in the safe harbor, then the activities of Vaultbanc (and/or the Fund) may constitute a U.S. trade or business, in which case Vaultbanc would be subject to U.S. federal income and branch profits tax (and possibly state and local tax) on its income, if any, that is effectively connected with such U.S. trade or business. In such case, a Vaultbank Token holder’s return on its investment in Vaultbank Tokens is likely to be substantially reduced. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to the Vaultbank Tokens and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of the Vaultbank Tokens may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status. A Non-U.S. Holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Pursuant to U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Sections 1471-1474 (“the Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and other IRS official guidance (commonly known as “FATCA”), if a Vaultbank Token holder fails to meet certain requirements that are mandated by FATCA, certain payments made by Vaultbanc to such Vaultbank Token holder may, in general, be subject to a thirty percent (30%) withholding tax. Pursuant to FATCA, a thirty percent (30%) withholding tax will be imposed on (i) certain U.S. source payments such as dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodical income received on or after July 01, 2014, (ii) proceeds of a sale or disposition occurring after December 31, 2018 of property producing U.S. source interest or dividends, and (iii) certain other payments that are defined as “foreign pass thru payments6” under the Code,

6The term “foreign passthru payment” has not been defined under the Code. However, an exception is available under §1.1471-4(b)(4) related to withholding on “foreign passthru payment” as follows: “4) Foreign passthru payments. A participating FFI is

Page 64: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

58

in each case paid to a “nonparticipating foreign financial institution” or a “recalcitrant account holder” as specifically defined under the Code. Vaultbanc will be required to withhold at a thirty percent (30%) rate on the payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) above to a Vaultbank Token holder if such Vaultbank Token holder fails to timely provide Vaultbanc with sufficient information, certification or documentation that is necessary for Vaultbanc to determine whether the Vaultbank Token holder is subjected to withholding under the Code. In addition, certain of Vaultbanc’s investments may be in “foreign financial institutions,” any of which may be subject to withholding tax as described above if it fails to timely comply (and is not otherwise exempt from complying) with the requirements of FATCA. An intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA (an “IGA”) may cause different rules to apply from those described above. Each Vaultbank Token holder acknowledges that Vaultbanc and/or the Fund may take such action as it considers necessary in relation to such Investor's holding or redemption proceeds to ensure that any withholding tax payable, and any related costs, interest, penalties and other losses and liabilities suffered by Vaultbanc and/or the Fund pursuant to FATCA, arising from such the Vaultbank Token holder's failure to provide the requested information, is economically borne by such holder. Prospective Vaultbank Token holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on an investment in Vaultbanc.

(iii) CERTAIN SINGAPORE TAXATION CONSIDERATIONS

The statements below are general in nature and are based on certain aspects of tax laws in Singapore and administrative guidelines issued by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore in force as of the date of this Offering Memorandum and are subject to any changes in such laws or administrative guidelines or the interpretation of those laws or guidelines, occurring after such date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis. Neither these statements nor any other statements in this Offering Memorandum are intended or are to be regarded as advice on the tax position of any holder of the Vaultbank Tokens or of any person acquiring, selling or otherwise dealing with the Vaultbank Tokens or on any tax implications arising from the acquisition, sale or other dealings in respect of the Vaultbank Tokens. The statements made herein do not purport to be a comprehensive or exhaustive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Vaultbank Tokens and do not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors. Prospective holders of the Vaultbank Tokens are advised to consult their own professional tax advisers as to Singapore or other tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership of or disposal of the Vaultbank Tokens, including the effect of any foreign, state or local tax laws to which they are subject. It is emphasized that neither Vaultbanc, the Fund, the Fund Manager, nor any other persons involved in this Offering accepts responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the subscription, purchase, holding or disposal of the Vaultbank Tokens.

not required to deduct and withhold tax on a foreign passthru payment made by such participating FFI to an account held by a recalcitrant account holder or to a nonparticipating FFI before the later of January 1, 2019, or the date of publication in the Federal Register of final regulations defining the term foreign passthru payment”.

Income Tax Uncertainty Regarding the Singapore income tax treatment on Virtual Currencies The Singapore Income Tax Act (Cap. 134 of Singapore) (“SITA”) currently does not contain explicit provisions on the taxation aspects of dealing with virtual currencies, and consequently, the Singapore income tax aspects of virtual currencies remain uncertain. Based on guidance by IRAS, the taxation of income or gains in the form of virtual currencies would be subject to normal income tax rules. General Overview of the Singapore Income Tax Treatment

Under the income tax provisions of SITA, gains or profits of an income nature which are sourced in Singapore are taxable in Singapore. Income which is sourced outside Singapore but received/deemed received in Singapore will be subject to Singapore income tax, unless otherwise exempt under SITA. Income is deemed to be received in Singapore where the income is: (a) remitted to, transmitted or brought into Singapore; or

(b) applied in or towards satisfaction of any debt incurred in respect of a trade or business carried on in Singapore; or

(c) applied to purchase any movable property, which is brought into Singapore (e.g. equipment or raw materials connected to the business).

Taxation of Vaultbanc

Dividend distributions earned by Vaultbanc from the Fund, either in cash or virtual currencies, would be subject to tax in Singapore, at the prevailing corporate tax rate (currently seventeen percent (17%)), when received in or deemed received in Singapore, unless the dividend distributions are considered sourced in Singapore, in which case they would be taxable in Singapore upon distribution by the Fund.

There is uncertainty around whether dividend distributions made to Vaultbanc from the Fund in the form of virtual currencies would be regarded as remitted or deemed remitted into Singapore. Where such distributions are regarded as remitted or deemed remitted into Singapore, the taxation of such dividends would be subject to tax in Singapore upon distribution by the Fund.

Distribution of Dividends by Vaultbanc to Vaultbank Token Holders

Dividends distributed by a Singapore tax resident company is tax exempt (income tax as well as withholding tax) in Singapore in the hands of the investors/shareholders under the one-tier corporate tax regime of Singapore. Accordingly, dividend distribution by Vaultbanc, either in cash or virtual currency, out of Singapore or non-Singapore bank account to the Vaultbank Token Holders would not be subject to tax in the hands of the Vaultbank Token Holders.

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

60

Disposal of Vaultbank Tokens

There is generally no tax on capital gains in Singapore. However, the definition of capital gains is not provided in the Singapore tax legislation. As such, whether the gains or profits from the disposal of an asset are regarded as income (taxable) or capital gains (not-taxable) depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. Factors such as intention, frequency of transactions and holding periods are considered in determining if such gains are taxable. No single factor will be conclusive in such determination; rather, such determination will be based on the collective assessment of all relevant factors.

In light of the above, generally, where Vaultbank Tokens are held by the holders as non-trading asset with a long-term holding intention (i.e. on capital account), the gain should be characterized as capital. In contrast, where the Vaultbank Tokens are held as trading assets of a trade or business carried on in Singapore, or certain activities of the holders give rise to a trading activity, the gain should be revenue in nature and subject to tax in Singapore. Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)

GST overview of the Singapore GST Treatment

Based on the Singapore GST Act (Cap. 117A of Singapore) (“SGSTA”), GST is chargeable on nearly all supplies of goods and services in Singapore. GST exemption applies to the provision of most financial services, the sale and lease of residential properties, and the importation and local supply of investment precious metals. Goods that are exported and international services are zero-rated.

Issue of Vaultbank Tokens

The SGSTA defines “equity security” as any interest in or right to a share in the capital of a body corporate or any option to acquire any such interest or right but excludes a contract of insurance and an estate or interest in land, other than an estate or interest as mortgagee or charge holder.

The issue of Vaultbank Tokens, which represent a separate class of Non-Voting Shares (other than ordinary equity shares) in Vaultbanc, and constitute beneficial interest in Vaultbanc, could be treated as an issue of equity securities (“Shares”).

The issuance of Shares by a GST-registered issuer (“Issuer”) belonging in Singapore for GST purposes to another person belonging in Singapore is an exempt supply not subject to GST. Any input GST incurred by the GST registered Issuer in making such an exempt supply is generally not recoverable from the Singapore Comptroller of GST.

Where the shares issued by the issuer are supplied under a contract with and for the direct benefit of a person belonging outside Singapore, the issuance of shares should generally be considered a taxable supply subject to GST at zero percent (0%). Any input GST incurred by the GST registered issuer in making such a supply in the course of or furtherance of a business carried on by him may be fully recoverable from the Singapore Comptroller of GST, subject to the normal input tax claim conditions.

Page 67: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

61

Services consisting of arranging, broking, underwriting or advising on the issue, allotment or transfer of ownership of the Shares rendered by a GST registered person to an investor belonging in Singapore for GST purposes in connection with the investor’s purchase, sale or holding of the Shares will be subject to GST at the standard rate of seven (7%). Similar services rendered contractually with and for the direct benefit of an investor belonging outside Singapore should generally, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, not be subject to GST.

Distribution of Dividends by Vaultbanc to Vaultbank Token Holders

Payment of dividends by Vaultbanc to Vaultbank Token holders in cash is a return on investment and not subject to GST. However, if the payment is made using virtual currencies e.g. Bitcoins, Vaultbanc would be regarded as making a taxable supply of services to the Vaultbank Token holders.

The transfer of Bitcoins by a GST registered Issuer to Vaultbank Token Holders belonging in Singapore is a taxable supply subject to GST at the standard rate of seven percent (7%). Where the Bitcoins are transferred by the GST registered Issuer in the course of or furtherance of a business carried on by him, under a contract with and for the direct benefit of the Vaultbank Token Holders belonging outside Singapore, the supply should generally be considered a taxable supply subject to GST at zero percent (0%).

Disposal of Vaultbank Tokens

The transfer of ownership of shares by a GST registered person belonging in Singapore for GST purposes to another person belonging in Singapore is an exempt supply not subject to GST. The disposal of Vaultbank Tokens would be regarded as a transfer of ownership of an equity security. Any input GST incurred by the GST-registered person in making such an exempt supply is generally not recoverable from the Singapore Comptroller of GST.

Where the Shares are transferred from the GST-registered person under a contract with and for the direct benefit of a person belonging outside Singapore, the transfer should generally, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, be considered a taxable supply subject to GST at zero percent (0%). Any input GST incurred by the GST-registered person in making such a supply in the course of or furtherance of a business carried on by him may be fully recoverable from the Singapore Comptroller of GST.

Liability to register for GST

A person who makes taxable supplies and the value of such taxable supplies exceeds one million Singapore dollars (SGD 1,000,000) in a twelve (12) month period is liable for GST registration in Singapore. If it makes taxable supplies but does not meet this threshold, it is eligible for registration on a voluntary basis. If it makes only exempt supplies but could be zero-rated such as the issuance of shares to a person belonging outside Singapore, it is eligible for GST registration on a voluntary basis.

Claiming of GST

Page 68: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

62

To the extent Vaultbanc incurs input tax in Singapore, the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Singapore Comptroller of GST, unless Vaultbanc is registered for GST in Singapore and meets the input tax claiming conditions.

(iv) Singapore FATCA and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS)

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act On December 9, 2014, Singapore signed a Model 1 intergovernmental agreement with the United States (the “US – Singapore IGA”). Subsequently, on March 18, 2015, the Ministry of Finance released Income Tax (International Tax Compliance Agreements) (United States of America) Regulations 2015 (the “Singapore FATCA Regulations”), which provides for the implementation of obligations arising under the US – Singapore IGA. Under the Singapore FATCA Regulations, Reporting Financial Institutions (“FIs”) are required to identify if they maintain any “US Reportable Accounts” (as defined under the US – Singapore IGA) and submit annual returns to Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (“IRAS”) on such US Reportable Accounts. Vaultbank Token holders will be required to provide information and/or documents to Vaultbanc in order to correctly classify the holders for purposes of U.S. FATCA, and should note that in the event a Vaultbank Token holder does not supply such information or documents on request, the purchase of such Token might be revoked or cancelled. Each investor should also note that any information provided to the Fund which identifies its direct or indirect ownership of an interest in the Fund may be reported to the IRAS and/or the IRS. Common Reporting Standard Endorsed by the OECD Council and the Global Forum for Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, Common Reporting Standard (“CRS”) has been developed to call on regular exchange of financial account information between jurisdictions, with the objective of detecting and deterring tax evasion by taxpayers through the use of offshore accounts. It sets out the different types of accounts and taxpayers covered, the financial institutions (“FIs”) required to report, the financial account information to be exchanged, as well as the customer due diligence procedures to be followed by the FIs. While the intergovernmental approach to FATCA reporting does deviate in certain aspects from the CRS, the CRS draws extensively on the FATCA reporting regime to maximise efficiency and reduce costs for implementing jurisdictions and their FIs. More than one hundred (100) jurisdictions, including major financial centres such as United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Luxembourg and Switzerland, have endorsed the CRS and will commence exchange of information in either 2017 or 2018. On December 8, 2016, Singapore enacted the Income Tax (International Tax Compliance Agreements) (Common Reporting Standard) Regulations 2016 ("Singapore CRS Regulations”), which incorporate the requirements of the CRS into Singapore’s domestic legislative framework and empower all Singapore FIs to put in place the necessary processes and systems to obtain financial account information starting from January 1, 2017. The first exchange will take place by September 2018.

Page 69: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

63

Vaultbanc will have to collect certain documentation from Vaultbank Token holders to establish their tax residency status and transmit to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (“IRAS”) annually from 2018 the CRS information of holders that are tax residents of jurisdictions that Singapore has signed a Competent Authority Agreement (“CAA”) or has agreed to activate exchange relationships under the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (“MCAA”). IRAS may then exchange the information with Singapore’s CRS partners pursuant to these agreements. Failure to comply with the Singapore CRS Regulations could be an offence under the Income Tax Act and penalties could be imposed on Vaultbanc.

(v) Certain Cayman Islands Tax Considerations The Fund is not subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands. The Fund is registered as a limited liability company under Cayman Islands law. Vaultbanc, as the sole member of the Fund, will not be subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands with respect to its interest in the Fund and distributions made in respect of such interest in the Fund. There are no exchange controls in the Cayman Islands. Compliance with Automatic Exchange of Information Legislation

FATCA Similar to Singapore, on November 29, 2013, the Government of the Cayman Islands also entered into a Model 1 intergovernmental agreement with the United States (the “US – Cayman IGA”). On July 4, 2014, Cayman Islands issued the Tax Information Authority (International Tax Compliance) (United States of America) Regulations, 2014 (as amended) (the "Cayman FATCA Regulations") to accompany the Tax Information Authority Law (2017 Revision) (the "TIA Law") to implement the provisions under US -Cayman IGA and to facilitate compliance by Cayman Islands FIs with FATCA. To comply with its obligations under the Cayman FATCA Regulations and applicable legislation, the Fund will be required to report information to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority (the “Cayman TIA”) which in turn will report relevant information to the IRS. To avoid withholding under FATCA, the Fund may request additional information from Vaultbanc and its beneficial owners (that may be disclosed to the Cayman TIA and the IRS) to identify whether interests in the Fund are held directly or indirectly by “Specified U.S. Persons” (as defined in the US – Cayman IGA). If the Fund is not able to comply with its obligations under the US- Cayman IGA (whether due to a failure of Vaultbanc and/or its beneficial owners to provide adequate information or otherwise), the thirty percent (30%) withholding tax under FATCA could apply to the Fund. Common Reporting Standard The Government of the Cayman Islands is a signatory to the MCAA that will be adopted by over one hundred (100) jurisdictions committing to implement the CRS. Local regulations which impose due diligence and reporting obligations to be undertaken by FIs, have been enacted in 2015 to bring the CRS into Cayman Islands law (the “Cayman

Page 70: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

64

CRS Regulations”). The first reporting to Cayman TIA with regards to CRS has taken place in 2017. As required under the Cayman CRS Regulations, the Fund will be required to provide the required information as set out under the Cayman CRS Regulations annually to Cayman TIA in respect of Vaultbanc and/or its direct or indirect beneficial owners. In order to prevent inaccurate information being reported, the Fund will request that Vaultbanc and/or its direct or indirect beneficial owners where required by Cayman CRS Regulations, provide documents regarding each of the foregoing persons’ tax residency status. The Cayman Islands published an updated list of 2017 and 2018 Reportable Jurisdictions in June 2017 which Cayman Islands intended to exchange information with. There may be additional agreements between Cayman Islands and other countries in the future, and additional countries may adopt CRS, which will likely further increase the reporting and/or due diligence obligations of the Fund.

J. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

When Investors use secure areas of the Vaultbanc website, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is used with 128-bit encryption. This means that all the information sent between Investor computers and the Vaultbanc secure computer environment is encrypted so that it cannot be read in transit. Secure areas of the site have a time-out feature. Vaultbanc has engaged Palo Alto Networks Inc. to ensure that the information is secure and encrypted. It is possible that Vaultbanc may be required by law, court order, or other legal process to provide information about our customers to outside parties, including for compliance purposes for regimes, such as the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Online Privacy Protection Act. It is the Vaultbanc’s policy to ensure adherence to the due process of law in all such instances, and if required to provide information under these circumstances, the company will, whenever possible, attempt to inform users whose information has been requested, unless prohibited by law.

SECTION IV RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Vaultbank Tokens involves an extraordinary degree of risk, and, therefore, should be undertaken only by Investors capable of evaluating the risks of an investment and bearing the risks of a complete loss of all invested capital. Potential Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and the risks with respect to Vaultbanc, the Vaultbank Token, the Fund and cryptocurrency exchanges and the other information in this Offering Memorandum and consult with their professional advisors before deciding whether to invest. There can be no assurance that Vaultbank Token holders will receive a return of their capital or any returns on their investment. An investment in Vaultbank Tokens is designed only for sophisticated persons who are able to risk losing their entire investment in Vaultbank Tokens. The risks described below are not exhaustive.

1. Business and Strategic Risk.

Early stage companies often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financing, and general management, which, in many cases, cannot be adequately resolved. In addition, such companies may require substantial amounts of financing which may not be available, including through institutional private placements or the public markets. The percentage of companies that survive and prosper can be small, if any. Investment in Vaultbanc involves a high degree of risk. A loss of an Investor’s entire investment is possible.

The Fund cannot provide assurance that it will be able to choose, make and manage, or sell

investments in any particular investment. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to generate returns on its investments or that any returns will be commensurate with the risks of investing in the type of loans, securities or other investments described herein. There can be no assurance that any returns for the Vaultbank Token holders will be achieved, or that they will receive a return of their invested capital. The Fund’s investments, by their nature, involve a high degree of financial risk. Such investments may expose the Fund’s assets to the risks of material financial loss, which may in turn adversely affect the price of Vaultbank Tokens. See “Risks Related to the Fund’s Investments” below.

The Vaultbank Tokens are a new issue of digital tokens for which there is no established public

market. There is be no assurance that any exchange will accept the listing of Vaultbank Tokens or maintain the listing if it is accepted. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop or, if a secondary market does develop, that it will provide the holders with liquidity of investment or that it will continue for the life of the Vaultbank Tokens. The digital token market is a new and rapidly developing market, which may be subject substantial and unpredictable disruptions that cause significant volatility in the prices of digital tokens. Vaultbanc cannot assure the Investors that the market, if any, for the Vaultbank Tokens will be free from such disruptions or that any such disruptions may not adversely affect Investor’s ability to sell the Vaultbank Tokens in the future. Therefore, Vaultbanc cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Vaultbank Tokens in the future at a particular time or that the price you receive when you sell will be favorable.

Subject to applicable law and except as mentioned in the Constitution, Vaultbank Token holders

have no voting rights or other management or control rights in either Vaultbanc or the Fund, and consequently Investor’s investment in Vaultbank Tokens does not carry with it any right to take part in the control or management of Vaultbanc’s business, including the election of directorsAccordingly, Vaultbanc’s directors, and stockholders who hold voting shares will control

Page 78: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

72

decisions for Vaultbanc. Vaultbank Token holders will have no influence or vote on most corporate matters and the voting shareholders and directors may take actions of which a majority of Vaultbank Token holders disapprove. In accessing the risks and rewards of an investment in Vaultbank Tokens, Investors must be aware that they are relying solely on the good faith, judgment and ability of the directors, officers and employees of Vaultbanc and the Fund Manager to make appropriate decisions in respect to the management of Vaultbanc and the Fund, and Vaultbank Token holders will be subject to the decisions of Vaultbanc and the Fund Manager’s directors, officers, and employees.

2. Technology Risk.

Vaultbanc and its partners will store Investors’ and customers’ personal and other sensitive data. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access could cause the theft and criminal use of this data and/or theft and criminal use of Vaultbanc’s and the Fund’s assets. Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose Vaultbanc to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation, and negative publicity. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in Vaultbanc’s or its partners’ software are exposed and exploited, and, as a result, a third party obtains unauthorized access to any of its investors’/customers’ data, Vaultbanc’s relationships with its investors/customers’ will be severely damaged, and Vaultbanc could incur significant liability. Part of Vaultbanc’s business involves storage and transmission of users’ information, blockchain transaction, and security breaches could cause a risk of loss or misuse of this information, and to resulting claims, fines, and litigation. Vaultbanc may be subjected to a variety of cyber-attacks, which may continue to occur from time to time. Cyber-attacks may target Vaultbanc’s investors’, customers, suppliers, banks, credit card processors, delivery services, e-commerce in general or the communication infrastructure on which they depend. An attack or a breach of security could result in a loss and theft of private data, unauthorized trades, an interruption of trading for an extended period of time, violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to reputation, and a loss of confidence in security measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Vaultbanc and the Fund’s financial results and business. Any such attack, theft or breach could adversely affect the ability of the Fund to operate, which could indirectly adversely affect the value of the Vaultbank Tokens. Any breach of data security that exposes or compromises the security of any of the private digital keys used to authorize or validate transaction orders, or that enables any unauthorized person to generate any of the private digital keys, could result in unauthorized trades and would have a material adverse effect on Vaultbanc and/or the Fund. Because trades utilizing Blockchain technology settle on the trade date, it could be impossible to correct unauthorized trades. Furthermore, attackers can manipulate the cryptocurrency market. The price of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ether, are set by several exchanges. If an exchange is attacked such that it is taken offline, traders can take advantage of price differences. Additionally, attackers can target platforms that buy and sell cryptocurrencies and digital wallets that hold cryptocurrencies. It is possible that such an attack could adversely affect the Vaultbanc and/or Fund’s investments and indirectly also the value of the Vaultbank Tokens. Since techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, Vaultbanc and third-party hosting facilities may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, certain provinces have enacted laws requiring companies to

Page 79: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

73

notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause Vaultbanc’s investors’ and/or customers’ to lose confidence in the effectiveness of its data security measures. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm its reputation and Vaultbanc may lose customers. Vaultbanc’s ability to service its customers depends, in part, upon its intellectual property. It will rely on copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with its employees, customers and other third parties to protect its intellectual property rights. However, the steps it takes to protect its intellectual property rights may be inadequate. In order to protect its intellectual property rights, Vaultbanc may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of its intellectual property. Furthermore, its efforts to enforce its intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of its intellectual property rights. Vaultbanc’s failure to secure, protect, and enforce its intellectual property rights could seriously harm its brand and adversely affect its business.

3. Investment Strategy and Other Matters.

The investment objectives and methods summarized herein represent the Fund’s and the Fund Manager’s current intentions, are general in nature and are not intended to be exhaustive. Among other things, there are no investment restrictions applicable to the Fund, including no limits on the types of securities, or other instruments in which the Fund may take positions, the types of positions it may take, the concentration of its investments in companies, industries or market sectors or subsectors, or the amount of leverage that it may use. The Fund has broad discretion to use any securities trading or investment techniques, whether or not contemplated by the expected investment strategies and criteria described herein, that it considers appropriate. Therefore, the Fund Manager may change the Fund’s investment strategy or policy and the Fund may terminate the Fund Manager (subject to certain limits) if the Fund determines to pursue other strategies. In addition, there are inherent limitations in describing any investment strategy due to its complexity, confidentiality and indefinite nature. The Fund may not achieve its investment objectives. Further, many of the investment techniques and activities described herein are high-risk activities that could result in substantial losses. Consequently, only experienced and sophisticated persons who are able to risk losing all of their investment should invest in Vaultbanc. The Fund may be subject to various conflicts of interest due to the fact that the Fund Manager may be engaged in a wide variety of management, advisory and other business activities. The Fund Manager’s investment decisions for the Fund will be made independently of those made for the other clients of the Fund Manager and independently of its own investments. However, on occasion, the Fund Manager may make the same investment for the Fund and one or more of its other clients. Where the Fund and one or more of the other clients of the Fund Manager are engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, the transaction will be effected on an equitable basis. The Fund Manager may allocate opportunities to make and dispose of investments equitably among clients with similar investment objectives having regard to whether the security is currently held in any of the relevant investment portfolios, the relative size and rate of growth of the Fund and the other funds under common management and such other factors as the Fund Manager considers relevant in the circumstances.

Page 80: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

74

4. Fund Manager.

The Fund Manager has exclusive and absolute discretion and authority to manage and control the Fund’s investments, except as limited by the Investment Advisor Agreement and applicable law. The Fund’s success depends on the skill and expertise of the Fund Manager’s investment professionals, who devote a significant amount of time to managing other funds and accounts. If any of them should cease to participate in the Fund’s activities, its ability to select attractive investments and manage its portfolio could be impaired severely. Further, the Fund’s investment performance could be materially adversely affected if any members of the investment team were to die or become incapacitated. Because the Fund Manager and its affiliates have and will have fiduciary duties to other clients, the interests of the Fund and the other clients in selecting, negotiating and administering investments may conflict in some circumstances. The Fund Manager receives a performance-based fee or allocation from some of its other clients, and is therefore incentivized to allocate the best investment opportunities to those other clients. As a result, the Fund may disadvantaged. The Fund Manager may give advice and take actions with respect to the Fund that materially deviate from the advice and actions it takes with respect to other accounts. Further, if the Fund Manager or its affiliates invest for their own accounts in similar investments to the Fund, they may have further conflicts with the Fund. Any such conflicts may disadvantage the Fund and lead to losses in its portfolio. The Fund Manager’s investment strategy relies extensively on computer programs and systems to trade, clear and settle investments, to monitor its portfolio and net capital, and to generate risk management and other reports that are critical to oversight of account activities. In addition, certain of Fund Manager’s operations will depend on systems operated by third parties, including its market counterparties and their sub-custodians and other service providers. The Fund Manager may not be in a position to verify the risks or reliability of such third-party systems. These programs or systems may be subject to certain defects, failures or interruptions, including, but not limited to, those caused by worms, viruses and power failures. Any such defect or failure could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund Manager will utilize a proprietary quantitative model to determine, at least in part, the loans or other investments to purchase. The Fund will not own any of the intellectual property related to such quantitative model, and the Fund Manager may cease to provide access to such technology in the future. Although the Fund Manager believes that its investment screening process based on its quantitative model is proprietary, it cannot guarantee that the confidentiality of such process will be maintained, that it gives the Fund Manager a competitive advantage or that other investment managers do not employ the same or similar practices in their investment programs. A third party may reverse engineer or otherwise obtain and use the technology in ways that compete with the Fund. The technology may infringe the intellectual property rights of others. The technology and expertise may become obsolete, and Fund Manager may not be able to develop, obtain or use new technologies that are successful. If any of these events occur, the Fund could be adversely affected. Although this quantitative model has been tested, no assurance can be made that such models will perform the same in the future. Model-driven strategies employed by others have resulted in substantial losses in a short period.

Page 81: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

75

Further, the Fund Manager’s quantitative model requires access to information sources, including information from lending platforms, credit data providers and other sources, as well as, in some cases the borrowers themselves. The Fund Manager is not in a position to confirm the completeness, genuineness or accuracy of such information and data, and in some cases, complete and accurate information is not readily available. In addition, if any information source limits or stops providing information to the Fund Manager, the Fund could be adversely affected. When the Fund invests in instruments and/or assets, it may be difficult for the Fund Manager to accurately determine the fair market value. Valuations of such assets for the purposes of determining the Fund’s NAV may be speculative and will depend largely on the Fund Manager’s judgment. Furthermore, the Fund Manager may rely on information provided by third parties in valuing the Fund’s liquid or illiquid assets and its liabilities, which information may be incomplete, inaccurate or otherwise unreliable. To the extent the Fund Manager relies on such information, its valuations and NAV calculations may be inaccurate. The Fund Manager’s judgment on such matters shall be binding and not subject to audit by Vaultbanc, the Vaultbank Token holders or other outside persons. These risks in NAV valuation can affect the amount of the fee payable by the Fund. The Fund Manager’s investment analysis and selection techniques are continually evolving, and it may, for example, incorporate new or different models over time in addition to those discussed herein. Any newer techniques that the Fund Manager employs may be less successful than prior techniques and may subject the Fund to additional risks. Misconduct by employees of the Fund Manager or third-party service providers could cause significant losses to the Fund. Employee misconduct may include binding the Fund to transactions that exceed authorized limits or present unacceptable risks and unauthorized trading activities or concealing unsuccessful trading activities (which, in either case, may result in unknown and unmanaged risks or losses). Losses could also result from actions by third-party service providers, including, without limitation, failing to recognize trades and misappropriating assets. In addition, employees and third-party service providers may improperly use or disclose confidential information, which could result in litigation or serious financial harm, including limiting the Fund’s business prospects or future marketing activities. No assurances can be given that the due diligence performed by the Fund Manager will identify or prevent any such misconduct The Fund may terminate the Fund Manager at any time subject to providing certain prior written notice. If the Fund terminates the Fund Manager, references herein to “Fund Manager” shall be deemed to include any successor entity that manages the Fund’s investment process. The risks associated with any successor manager, however, are hard to predict, and Investors will have no control over the termination or appointment process.

5. Operational Risk. Vaultbanc believes that an important component of its growth will be continued market penetration through its marketing channels. To achieve this growth, Vaultbanc anticipates relying heavily on marketing and advertising to increase the visibility of its brand with potential customers. The goal of this marketing and advertising is to increase the strength, recognition, and trust in its brand.

Page 82: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

76

The success of any venture is dependent upon the availability of high quality personnel. Competition for qualified personnel at any stage of development can be intense. Turnover of personnel can seriously disrupt our business plan. Similarly, the ability of personnel to accept and make the transitions that occur as the company matures is difficult to predict or manage. No assurance can be given that Vaultbanc will be able to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for success. Vaultbanc and/or the Fund may invest in foreign jurisdictions. Foreign securities involve certain risks relating to (i) currency fluctuations and associated conversion costs; (ii) differences between the U.S. and foreign securities markets, including volatility in and relative illiquidity of some foreign securities markets, the absence of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and disclosure requirements and less government supervision; (iii) certain economic and political risks, including potential restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital and the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation; and (iv) the imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes with respect to such investment. Vaultbanc’s business is subject to the risk of litigation by employees, customers, consumers, suppliers, competitors, shareholders, government agencies, or others through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. The outcome of litigation, particularly class action lawsuits, regulatory actions and intellectual property claims, is difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to these lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In addition, certain of these lawsuits, if decided adversely to Vaultbanc or settled by Vaultbanc, may result in liability material to its financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect its operating results if changes to its business operations are required. The cost to defend future litigation may be significant. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of its business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether Vaultbanc are ultimately found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect its business and financial condition.

6. Use of Proceeds.

Any “Use of Proceeds” information presented herein represents Vaultbanc’s current intentions, and is subject to change based on a number of factors, including the amount of funds raised, cryptocurrency developments, and other factors that are difficult to predict. Vaultbanc has absolute discretion regarding the use the proceeds raised in this offering and may use such proceeds for any purpose, whether or not addressed in the “Use of Proceeds” section without notice to any Investor that it is changing its intended approach. Currently, Vaultbanc intends to apply the net proceeds of this Offering as follows: (i) between eighty percent (80%) and ninety percent (90%) will be invested in the Fund, (ii) between ten percent (10%) to fifteen percent (15%) will be used for development of products/technology, (iii) three percent (3%) towards operations and (iv) three percent (3%) for the transaction costs. There can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by Vaultbanc relating to the specific allocation of the net proceeds will permit Vaultbanc to achieve its business objective. In the event that Vaultbanc plans change, its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or the proceeds of this Offering prove to be insufficient, it may be necessary or advisable to reallocate proceeds or to use proceeds for other purposes, or Vaultbanc may be required to seek additional financing or may be required to curtail its operations. For example, Vaultbanc may determine that it should not invest assets through the Fund, but rather should engage in other operating businesses. Investors have no

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

77

control or influence over such decisions and any such decision may materially and adversely affect the value of the Vaultbank Tokens.

7. Financial Risk.

Vaultbanc intends to continue to make investments to support the growth of its business. Such investments will limit the amount of capital available for investment by the Fund. There are no requirements that Vaultbanc devote any amount of its assets to the Fund, and it may cease Fund related or any other activities described herein in its absolute discretion. As such, it may require additional capital to pursue its business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, including increasing its marketing expenditures to improve its brand awareness, developing new products or services, or further improving existing products or services, enhancing its operating infrastructure and acquiring complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, it may need to engage in financings to secure additional funds. However, additional funds may not be available when Vaultbanc needs them, on terms that are acceptable to Vaultbanc, or at all. In addition, Vaultbanc agreements with other lenders may make it more difficult for it to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. Changes in interest rates could have an adverse impact on Vaultbanc’s business by increasing Vaultbanc’s cost of capital and adversely affecting the Fund’s investments (as described below). For example, rising interest rates could increase Vaultbanc’s cost of capital and/or rising interest rates may negatively impact Vaultbanc’s ability to secure financing, if required, on favorable terms.

8. Investment Risks Generally

The Fund shall invest a substantial portion of its capital directly and indirectly in loans and other securities that derive their value from loans, including (a) real estate related loans (including qualified mortgage (QM) and non-QM loans), (b) consumer related loans (including auto loans), (c) small business loans, and (d) other loans or similar products. The Fund’s portfolio may be diversified beyond those types of investments, idle cash, money market instruments or other short-term investments and any investments used for hedging purposes. The value of those investments may be volatile and vary substantially over time. In addition, those investments may be highly speculative. The Fund’s investment portfolio may not generate any income or appreciate in value. The Fund Manager can never learn all relevant information regarding a particular investment. Further, the Fund Manager may misinterpret or incorrectly analyze the information that it has about a particular investment. These and other factors may cause the Fund to (a) make investments at times that will lead to losses in its portfolio or (b) refrain from investing in particular investments at times that would have resulted in gains in its portfolio. The Fund expects to employ significant leverage, including by entering into credit agreements to borrow capital, borrowing on margin and through derivative contracts and other leveraging strategies. Such leverage (particularly with respect to borrowed capital) increases the risk of loss and volatility. If the Fund uses substantial leverage, even small losses in the value of the underlying assets could lead to immediate and material losses for the Fund’s portfolio. Thus, any leverage increases the risk and volatility of the Fund’s portfolio and may result in losses that greatly exceed the amount invested.

78

The terms of credit agreements that the Fund enters into with a lender may require, among other things, that the Fund hold its securities (or any interest and principal repayments on those securities) in accounts that the lender controls until distributions to the Fund (and ultimately the Vaultbank Token holders) are permitted. The lender would have a first priority lien on all of those assets. The term of any such credit agreement may expire prior to the date on which all of the loans underlying the Fund’s investments fully amortize. Thus, if the term of that credit agreement is not extended, the Fund may be required to repay that loan using a greater portion of the loan interest and principal repayments than it currently expects, which likely would reduce or eliminate the available cash that would otherwise be distributed to Vaultbank Token holders. Pursuant to the credit agreements, the Fund may be required to comply with, among other things, financial covenants and covenants related to the loans underlying the Fund’s investments. In addition, the Fund Manager, the Fund, Vaultbanc and their affiliates will have to make numerous representations and warranties. If any of those covenants is violated or if any representation or warranty is or becomes inaccurate, the lender may accelerate the maturity date of the loan, seize and liquidate the Fund’s assets and exercise all other remedies available to it. Any such action could cause the Fund to lose significant amounts of capital and may lead to a winding down of Vaultbanc.

9. Risks Related to the Fund’s Investments.

General Risks of Fixed-Income Related Investments. The Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in loans, which are fixed-income instruments. These investments are subject to certain risks, such as interest rate risk and inflation/deflation risk, that affect most types of fixed-income investments. (a) Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income investments decline in value because of changes in

market interest rates. When interest rates decline, the value of a portfolio invested in fixed-income investments can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a portfolio invested in fixed-income investments can be expected to decline. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of the Fund’s loans may increase because borrowers choose not to refinance those loans prior to the stated maturity date to take advantage of a below market interest rate. Any such extension increases a loan’s duration (the estimated period until the loan is paid in full) and reduces the value of that loan. This is known as extension risk. During periods of declining interest rates, a borrower may choose to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, in which case the Fund will not receive all of the interest payments that it originally expected to receive on its investments corresponding to that loan. This is known as prepayment risk. The Fund Manager expects that the terms of many of the loans in which it has an interest will not subject the borrowers to prepayment penalties, so borrowers will have little disincentive to prepay such loans. In addition, during periods of declining interest rates, the Fund may be required to invest cash from prepayments in lower yielding investments. This is known as reinvestment risk. The Fund Manager is not required to, and likely will not, hedge the Fund’s interest rate risk.

Page 85: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

79

(b) Inflation/Deflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of the Fund’s investments or income from the investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the present value of payments at future dates. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time -- the opposite of inflation. Deflation may adversely affect the creditworthiness of the borrowers and may make default on the loans more likely, which would result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund Manager is not required to, and likely will not, hedge the Fund’s inflation or deflation risk.

Risks of Investing Through Lending Platforms. The Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets through lending platforms. These investments are subject to certain risks, including, without limitation, the following:

(a) Dependence on Lending Platforms. The Fund Manager depends on the lending platforms through which the Fund purchases loans directly and indirectly. Many lending platforms, including some through which the Fund may invest, do not generate operating profits and rely on additional financing to continue operations. As a result, the Fund may be unable to fulfill its investment objective if any such firm were to dissolve, liquidate, become bankrupt or otherwise cease operations or change its business.

(b) Bankruptcy or Failure of Lending Platforms. The Fund, either directly or through investment pools and other special purpose entities, may invest in securities issued by lending platforms, the values of which are based on the underlying loans that those entities hold. Those entities are separate and distinct from the direct lending companies that facilitate those loans. A bankruptcy court may not respect the separateness of those entities, and in the event of a bankruptcy of a direct lending firm, those underlying loans may be included in the bankruptcy estate of that firm, which could result in the Fund or one of the loan pools having a general unsecured claim on such bankrupt firm’s assets.

The Fund may not have a security interest in the loans purchased directly or indirectly through lending platforms or the proceeds of those loans. If a lending platform were to become subject to a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, the Fund’s recovery, if any, with respect to such loans may be substantially delayed and may be substantially lower than the principal and interest due and to become due on those loans.

Borrowers may delay payments with respect to loans to a lending platform in bankruptcy because of the uncertainties related to its bankruptcy or similar proceeding, even if borrowers have no right to do so. Any such delay would reduce, at least for a time, the interest and principal due to the Fund on those investments. A bankruptcy or similar proceeding could, as a matter of law, prevent the lending platform from making regular payments with respect to the Fund’s loans purchased through such lending platform, even if the funds to make such payments are available. Because a bankruptcy or similar proceeding may take months or years to complete, the suspension of payments may effectively reduce the value of any recovery that the Fund receives (and no such recovery can be assured) by the time any recovery is available. In addition, interest accruing on loans during a proceeding may not be part of the Fund’s allowed claim. If the Fund receives a recovery on those loans (and no such recovery can be assured), the recovery may be based on, and limited to, the Fund’s claim for principal and for interest accrued up to the date of the bankruptcy or similar proceeding, but not thereafter.

Page 86: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

80

(c) Reliance on Payments Received on Loans. Payments on the Fund’s investments may depend entirely on the payments, if any, received on the loans corresponding to those investments. If a borrower fails to make any payments on the loans corresponding to a particular investment, the Fund will not receive any payments with respect to such investment.

(d) Investments are not Secured by any Collateral or Guaranteed. The Fund’s investments through lending platforms may not be obligations of the underlying borrowers. In addition, those investments may not be secured by any collateral or guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any third party.

(e) Collection Efforts and Fees. If a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan within a specific number of days after the due date, the lending platform may choose to pursue collection efforts in respect of that loan. The lending platform may handle such collection efforts itself or refer the delinquent loan to a collection agency. If the lending platform refers a loan to a collection agency, it will have no other obligation to attempt to collect on that delinquent loan.

If a borrower makes a payment on a delinquent loan more than a specified number of days after its due date, then the lending platform, or, if the lending platform has referred the delinquent loan to an outside collection agency, that collection agency, may retain a percentage of any funds recovered from such borrower as a service fee before any principal or interest becomes payable from recovered amounts in respect of the investment related to the corresponding loan. The lending platform or the collection agency may be unable to recover some or all of the unpaid balance of a non-performing loan. The Fund must rely on the collection efforts from the applicable lending platform and the designated collection agency, and the Fund is generally not permitted to attempt to collect payments on the loans.

(f) Dependence on Verification of Borrowers. The Fund depends on the lending platforms to verify the identity of borrowers, their credit histories, and in some cases, their employment status and income. The Fund will not be in a position to monitor those verification procedures and thus is subject to the risk that those procedures are, or over time become, inadequate to prevent fraud. To the extent that the rate of fraud increases, the Fund could be adversely affected.

(g) Dependence on Banks, Data Providers, and other Service Providers. Lending platforms rely on various parties to execute their business models. For example, some may rely on banks to originate the loans that they sell to third parties, such as the Fund, and on data providers to obtain information to determine the creditworthiness of prospective borrowers. The platforms could be adversely affected if any such party ceases to provide those services, which would, in turn, adversely affect the Fund and Vaultbanc.

Special Risks Related to Real Property. The Fund intends to invest in instruments that derive their value from loans secured by real property. The types of real estate loans that the Fund invests in may have terms that are shorter than traditional real estate loans and may not be not fully amortizing, which means that they may have a significant principal balance or balloon payment due on maturity. A borrower’s ability to repay the debt on maturity will depend heavily on its ability to sell or refinance the property to pay the principal balance of the loan at maturity. If a borrower is unable to sell or refinance a property, the borrower may default on the loan or seek to restructure the loan in a manner that adversely affects the Fund.

Page 87: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

81

The Fund also bears risks related to the condition and operating results of the properties because a borrower’s ability to repay a loan (whether during the term of the loan or on its maturity) will depend to some extent on those factors. In addition, if a borrower defaults on a loan and the loan servicer forecloses on or otherwise takes title to the property or agrees to restructure the loan, the value of the Fund’s investment is likely to depend on the successful operation of the property rather than on the borrower’s income or assets. Thus, the Fund’s investments will be subject to risks relating to real estate in general and the ownership of real property in particular, including changes in general economic and local market conditions, such as adverse developments in employment or local economic performance, adverse changes specific to the tenant’s business, changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties, the general difficulties of maintaining rental rates and occupancy levels in highly competitive markets or changes in taxes or governmental regulations. Changes in interest rates and the availability of permanent mortgage funds also may render the sales of properties difficult or unattractive. Periods of high interest rates and tighter credit conditions may make the sales of the properties more difficult. If rental income from properties is insufficient to meet operating expenses, borrowers may default on the loans and adversely affect the Fund.

Loans secured by real property typically are non-recourse in nature. The loan servicer’s only remedy in the event of a default by a borrower under such a loan will be to foreclose on the loan. If a borrower defaults on any such loan, the Fund will bear a risk of loss of principal to the extent of any deficiency between the remaining value of the property (after any senior lenders have been repaid) and the principal and accrued interest of the loan. If the Fund successfully forecloses against a defaulting borrower, the Fund may be able to require the borrower to sell the property to generate cash proceeds to pay some or all of the indebtedness due under the loan. Any court ordered sale of a property may require a costly and time consuming process.

Senior Secured Debt. Many borrowers will also have entered into secured borrowing arrangements with other lenders. If a borrower does not operate successfully or on a profitable basis, it is likely that proceeds from any sale of its assets would be paid first to such senior lenders. The funds available to the borrowers to repay the loans would be limited to the amount of proceeds from the operation and sale of its assets that exceeds the indebtedness owed to such senior lenders. Consequently, if any senior lender to a borrower collects on its assets, that borrower may have insufficient funds with which to repay its loans. This could have a material adverse effect on the Fund's performance.

Unsecured Loans. The Fund expects that some of the loans that it makes will be unsecured, so the only remedy of the Fund in the event of a default by a borrower under such a loan will be to foreclose on the loan. If the Fund successfully forecloses against a defaulting borrower, the Fund may be able to require the borrower to sell its assets to generate cash proceeds to pay some or all of the indebtedness due under the loan. Any court ordered sale of assets may require a costly and time-consuming process. Even if the Fund prevails in a default judgment against the borrower and the borrower is forced to liquidate and sell its assets, the proceeds from any such liquidation and sale may not be sufficient to repay the loan in full.

Even if the Fund initiates a default proceeding against a borrower, the Fund's rights under any loans will be junior to any rights of senior creditors. See “Senior Secured Debt” above. Accordingly, any attempt to exercise remedies against a defaulting borrower may involve extended negotiations or contests with existing secured creditors of the borrower and extensive collection and enforcement activity. Any default proceedings would presumably include added complexity due to the inclusion of a senior creditor. If the Fund is unable to reach an agreement with existing secured creditors of a borrower, such secured creditors generally would receive

Page 88: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

82

priority on payment of their debts by the borrower.

For the foregoing reasons, the cost, time and difficulties associated with enforcing a judgment by the Fund against a borrower may dissuade the Fund from pursuing a remedy or may significantly delay any recovery from the borrower.

Unanticipated Level of Default Rates. The Fund Manager bases its investment decisions in part on expected default rates for different types of borrowers. Therefore, any material difference between the expected default rates and actual default rates could materially affect the Fund’s performance.

Fraudulent Conveyance Considerations. Various laws enacted to protect creditors may apply to debt investments, although the existence and applicability of such laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, if a court were to find that a borrower did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for incurring a debt and a related lien securing the debt, and, after giving effect to such indebtedness, the borrower (a) is insolvent, (b) is engaged in a business for which its remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital or (c) intends to incur or believes that it would incur, debts beyond such borrower’s ability to pay as they mature, such court could invalidate the debt investment and security interest or other lien previously applied to satisfy the debt. In addition, if a company in which the Fund acquires any equity securities becomes insolvent, any payment made on such securities may be subject to avoidance as a preference if made within a certain period (which may be as long as one year) before insolvency. In general, if payments on a loan or equity security are avoidable, whether as fraudulent conveyances or preferences, those payments can be recaptured either from the initial recipient or from subsequent transferees of those payments. If any such payments are recaptured from the Fund, the resulting loss would be borne by its investors.

Illiquidity of Securities. The Fund’s investments in loans and other instruments are subject to significant restrictions on resale and there is no active secondary market for them. Therefore, the Fund may be required to hold those investments to maturity. In addition, the Fund’s sales of those investments could depress the market value of similar investments and thereby reduce the Fund’s profitability or increase its losses. Such circumstances or events could affect the Fund’s gain or loss materially and adversely.

Insufficient Supply of Investments. The Fund depends on a sufficient supply of loans, which is outside of the Fund’s or the Fund Manager’s control. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to acquire investments in the quantities and at the times it otherwise desires. In such cases, the Fund Manager may cause the Fund to hold extensive cash positions for extended periods of time, potentially adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.

Competition for Investments. The Fund Manager’s ability to execute its investment strategy depends on its ability to access a sufficient supply of loans and other investments. Such supply is limited and is outside of the Fund’s and the Fund Manager’s control. The Fund will be competing for investment opportunities against other groups, including institutional investors, investment managers, industrial groups and merchant banks owned by larger and well-capitalized investors. The competition for investment opportunities may adversely affect the terms of the investments. Also, such competition may prevent the Fund from finding a sufficient number of attractive opportunities to meet its investment objectives.

10. Risks Related to Other Fund Investments

Page 89: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

83

Risks of Margin. The Fund may, in furtherance of its investment objectives, invest on margin, which means to make investments on credit. When the Fund invests on margin, it will be required to keep cash and securities on deposit with its brokers as collateral for its borrowings. As a result, a relatively small price movement may result in immediate and substantial losses. For example, if at the time of purchase fifty percent (50%) of the price of an investment is borrowed on margin, a twenty percent (20%) decrease in the price of the investment would, if the investment is then sold, result in a forty percent (40%) loss of the cash invested before any deduction for brokerage commissions or margin interest costs. Thus, any purchase using margin increases the risk and volatility of the Fund’s portfolio and may result in losses that greatly exceed the amount invested. In addition, margin trading requires the Fund to pledge its securities as collateral. Margin calls or changes in margin requirements can require the Fund to pledge additional collateral or liquidate its holdings, which can force the Fund to sell at substantial losses that it otherwise would not incur. Trading on margin also results in interest charges, which can be substantial. Swaps, Options and Other Derivatives. The Fund may, in furtherance of its investment objectives, use both exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives, including, but not limited to, futures, other commodity interests, swaps, options and contracts for differences. These instruments have risk and return characteristics similar to margin trading and are subject to other risks. The low initial margin deposits normally required to establish a position in such instruments permit a high degree of leverage. As a result, depending on the type of instrument, a relatively small change in the price of the contract may result in a profit or loss that is high in proportion to the Fund’s assets actually placed as initial collateral and may result in unquantifiable further loss exceeding any collateral deposited. These changes are extremely difficult to predict.

In addition, if the Fund purchases options that it does not sell or exercise, it will lose the premium paid in such purchase. If the Fund sells call options and must deliver the underlying securities at the option strike price, the Fund theoretically has an unlimited risk of loss if the price of such underlying securities increases. If the Fund sells put options and must buy the underlying securities, it risks losing the difference between the market price of the underlying securities and the option strike price. Further, if it sells meaningfully out-of-the-money put or call contracts, the Fund may incur substantial losses if these contracts unexpectedly progress into-the-money. Any gain or loss from selling or exercising an option is reduced or increased, respectively, by the amount of the premium paid. The expenses of option investing include commissions payable on the purchase, exercise or sale of an option. The Fund may also sell covered and uncovered options on securities. If such options are uncovered, the Fund could incur an unlimited loss.

Daily limits on price fluctuations and speculative position limits on exchanges may prevent the Fund from promptly liquidating positions resulting in potentially greater losses. Transactions in over-the-counter contracts may involve additional risk because there is no exchange market on which to close out an open position. It may be impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value of a position or to assess the exposure to risk. Contractual asymmetries and inefficiencies can also increase risk, such as break clauses, whereby a counterparty can terminate a transaction on the basis of a certain reduction in the Fund’s net asset value, incorrect collateral calls or delays in collateral recovery.

Special risks are associated with using derivatives. Deciding whether, when and how to use derivatives involves different skills and judgment than those needed to select the Fund’s investments. Even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior, currency fluctuations or interest rate trends. If the Fund Manager incorrectly forecasts market values or other relevant factors, the Fund may be in a worse position than if it

Page 90: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

84

had not engaged in derivatives transactions. When derivatives are used for hedging, there may be no correlation between price movements in the derivative and in the portfolio being hedged. A lack of correlation could result in a loss on both the hedged securities and the hedging vehicle, so that the Fund’s return might have been better had it not attempted to hedge.

Derivative instruments can be difficult to value accurately. Any mis-valuation could adversely affect one or more investors.

Other Securities-Linked Instruments. The Fund may, in furtherance of its investment objectives, use derivative instruments, such as swaps, contracts for difference, participation notes, equity swaps, and zero strike calls and warrants, to gain economic exposure (whether long or short) to a particular underlying investment that the Fund cannot or does not want to own directly. Many of these derivative instruments are structured as contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. In a typical contract, the Fund deposits an amount of cash with its custodian (or broker, if legally permitted) that is equal to the selling price of the underlying security and an additional amount to serve as the initial collateral for a change in value of the underlying security. Thereafter, the Fund pays or receives cash or other assets from the broker or custodian based on the change in the value of the underlying security.

The Fund does not have control of when a derivative transaction will be terminated. A counterparty may have the right to terminate a derivative transaction on limited or no notice at its discretion or when certain events occur (whether or not those events are within the Fund Manager’s control), including, but not limited to reductions in the Fund’s net asset value, “key person” events and defaults by the Fund, the Fund Manager or their affiliates under other agreements. The counterparty may have the right to recoup its losses due to such termination. Any such termination may occur when it is disadvantageous to the Fund and may adversely affect Vaultbank Token holders.

There is no exchange market on which to close an open swap position or other derivative transaction. The Fund could experience losses and delays in closing a derivative transaction, due to, among other things: (a) a counterparty’s default on, or inability or refusal to perform, its obligations with respect to a transaction, including refusing to pay amounts that are due; (b) a decline in the value of collateral that the Fund holds while it seeks to enforce its rights with respect to such collateral; (c) expenses of enforcing the Fund’s rights under the agreements governing the derivative transaction; and (d) losing collateral that the Fund has posted with the counterparty in the event of the counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The Fund likely will be treated as an unsecured creditor with respect to such collateral. Any of these events could subject the Fund and the Vaultbank Token Holders to substantial losses.

Credit Default Swaps. In furtherance of its investment objectives, the Fund may purchase and sell credit derivatives contracts -- often credit default swaps -- both for hedging and other purposes. The typical credit default swap contract requires the seller to pay to the buyer, if a particular reference entity experiences specified “credit events,” the difference between the notional amount of the contract and the value of a portfolio of securities issued by the reference entity that the buyer delivers to the seller. In return, the buyer agrees to make periodic payments equal to a fixed percentage of the notional amount of the contract. The Fund may also buy and sell credit default swaps on a basket of reference entities.

If a buyer of credit default swaps, the Fund is subject to certain risks in addition to those described elsewhere herein with respect to derivatives generally. If the Fund does not own the debt securities that are deliverable on a specified credit event under a credit default swap, the Fund is exposed to the risk that deliverable securities will not be available in the market, or will

Page 91: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

85

be available only at unfavorable prices, as would be the case in a so-called “short squeeze.” The derivative contracts may not clearly define whether or not a “credit event” triggering the seller’s payment obligation has occurred. In either of these cases, the Fund would not be able to realize the full value of the credit default swap on a default by the reference entity.

If it acts as a seller of credit default swaps, the Fund incurs leveraged exposure to the credit of the reference entity and is subject to many of the same risks it would incur if it were holding debt securities issued by the reference entity. However, the Fund will not have any legal recourse against the reference entity and will not benefit from any collateral securing the reference entity’s debt obligations. In addition, the credit default swap buyer will have broad discretion to select which of the reference entity’s debt obligations to deliver to the Fund following a credit event and will likely choose the obligations with the lowest market value to maximize the Fund’s payment obligations.

Forward Trading. Forward contracts and options thereon are not traded on exchanges and are not standardized. Instead, banks and dealers act as principals in these markets, negotiating each transaction individually. Forward and “cash” trading is substantially unregulated; there are no limits on position sizes or daily price movements. The principals who deal in the forward markets are not required to continue to make markets in the currencies they trade and these markets can experience periods of illiquidity, sometimes of significant duration. There have been periods during which certain participants in these markets have refused to quote prices for certain currencies or commodities or have quoted prices with an unusually wide spread between the price at which they would buy and that at which they would sell. Disruptions can occur in any market in which the Fund trades due to unusually high trading volume, political intervention or other factors. Government controls might also limit the Fund’s desired level of forward trading. Any such market illiquidity or disruption could adversely affect the Fund.

Repurchase Agreements. In furtherance of its investment objectives, the Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, by which it buys a security and simultaneously agrees to sell it back later at a predetermined price, or in reverse repurchase agreements, by which the Fund sells a security and simultaneously agrees to buy it back later at a predetermined price. The repurchase date is usually within seven (7) days after initiating the agreement. If the other party to a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement becomes insolvent or bankrupt, the Fund may incur losses if the collateral is insufficient or experience delays and incur costs in selling the collateral or recovering payment or the securities. If the value of the securities changes in the meantime, the Fund could experience further losses. Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements can have effects similar to margin trading and other leveraging strategies.

Securities Lending. The Fund may lend securities to brokers, FCMs and other institutions to earn additional income. These loans typically are fully collateralized daily, but the value of the collateral may fall below the value of the loaned securities or the Fund Manager may misjudge the other party’s creditworthiness. If the other party becomes insolvent or bankrupt, the Fund could incur losses if the collateral is insufficient or experience delays and incur costs in liquidating the collateral or recovering payment or the securities. If, in the meantime, the value of the securities changes, the Fund could incur further losses.

Limited Liquidity of Investments. The Fund may invest in thinly traded and relatively illiquid securities, securities that may not be traded at the time the Fund invests or securities that may cease to be traded after the Fund invests. The Fund also may take positions in some securities that are relatively large as compared to trading volumes or overall market capitalization. In such cases and in the event of extreme market activity, the Fund may not be able to sell its investments

Page 92: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

86

promptly if necessary or it may need to sell them at far less than the Fund Manager believes they are worth. In addition, the Fund’s sales of thinly traded securities are likely to depress their market value and thereby reduce the Fund’s profitability or increase its losses. Such circumstances or events could affect the Fund’s gain or loss materially and adversely.

The Fund also may invest in restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods or that are not traded in public markets. Restricted securities generally are difficult or impossible to sell at prices comparable to the market prices of similar securities that are publicly traded. Moreover, these investments are inherently difficult to value. Any miscalculation could adversely affect the Fund and the Vaultbank Token holders. Such restricted securities may not be eligible to be traded on a public market even if a public market for securities of the same class were to exist or develop. It is highly speculative as to whether and when an issuer will be able to register its securities so that they become eligible for trading in public markets.

Risk of Default by Counterparties, Brokers, FCMs and Exchanges. The Fund is exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties with which, or the brokers, dealers, futures commission merchants (FCM) and exchanges through which, it deals, whether it engages in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions. The Fund may lose its assets on deposit with a broker or FCM in the event of the broker’s or FCM’s bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of any clearing broker or FCM through which the broker or FCM executes and clears transactions on behalf of the Fund, or the bankruptcy of an exchange clearing house.

The Fund may effect transactions in “over-the-counter” or “interdealer” markets. Participants in these markets typically are not subject to credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of “exchange-based” markets. If the Fund invests in swaps, derivatives or synthetic instruments, or other over-the-counter transactions in these markets, it may take a credit risk with regard to parties with which it trades and also may bear the risk of settlement default. These risks may differ materially from those involved in exchange-traded transactions, which generally are characterized by clearing organization guarantees, daily marking-to-market and settlement, and segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries. Transactions entered into directly between two counterparties generally do not benefit from these protections, which in turn may subject the Fund to the risk that a counterparty will not settle in accordance with agreed terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract or because of a credit or liquidity problem. Such “counterparty risk” is increased for contracts with longer maturities when events may intervene to prevent settlement. The Fund’s ability to transact business with any one or any number of counterparties, the lack of any independent evaluation of the counterparties or their financial capabilities, and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement, may increase the Fund’s potential for losses.

Service Provider Default Risk. The Fund has contractual agreements with various service providers, including brokers and custodians and administrators, to perform various functions or effect certain transactions for or on the Fund’s behalf. These entities may not be subject to credit evaluation and regulatory oversight and may default on their obligations, which could adversely affect the Fund.

11. No Assurance of Returns. There can be no assurance that Vaultbank Tokens will increase in value and provide any return. The timing of profit realization, if any, is highly uncertain. The Vaultbank Tokens may lose all value.

12. Lack of Operating History and Risks of Early-Stage Companies.

Vaultbanc and the Fund are newly formed entities, and, accordingly, have no operating history or investments upon which Investors can evaluate the potential performance of Vaultbanc and/ or the Fund. The prior performance of members of the Vaultbanc executive team, as described in this Offering Memorandum, is not indicative of Vaultbanc’s and/ or the Fund’s future results. For example, prospective Investors should consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, particularly those companies whose businesses depend on the Internet. These risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to: (i) increase revenues and manage costs; (ii) increase awareness of their company; (iii) offer compelling content; (iv) maintain current, and develop new, strategic relationships; (v) respond effectively to competitive pressures; (vi) continue to develop and upgrade their technology; (vii) attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and (viii) raise additional capital. Similarly, Vaultbanc and/or the Fund has not generated revenues to date and may rely on investments and loans to meet its expenses. There can be no assurance that the business strategy of Vaultbanc, the Fund and/or the Fund Managers will be successful, or that they will address these risks successfully.

13. Regulatory Risk.

On July 25, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a Report of Investigation under Section 21(a) of the Exchange Act describing an SEC investigation of the DAO, a virtual organization, and its use of distributed ledger or blockchain technology to facilitate the offer and sale of DAO Tokens to raise capital. The Commission applied existing U.S. federal securities laws to this new paradigm, determining that DAO Tokens were securities. The Commission stressed that those who offer and sell securities in the U.S. are required to comply with federal securities laws, regardless of whether those securities are purchased with virtual currencies or distributed with blockchain technology. The Commission’s announcement, and the related Report, may be found here: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2017-131. The Securities Act generally requires that each offer and sale of securities in the United States must either be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or comply with an applicable exemption from registration. To avoid the time and expense associated with SEC registration, Vaultbanc seeks to offer Vaultbank Tokens pursuant to a valid private placement exemption. For offerings within the United States, Vaultbanc is relying on the registration exemption provided by Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Under Rule 506(c), general solicitation is permitted, but the issuer must take reasonable steps to verify that all of the accepted investors are accredited investors. Companies relying on the Rule 506 exemption must file a Form D with the SEC after they first sell their securities. For offerings outside the United States, Vaultbanc is relying on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act, which is available for securities offerings conducted primarily outside of the United States in offshore transactions. A fund may conduct simultaneous Regulation D and Regulation S offerings. The Exchange Act requires a U.S. issuer with total assets exceeding $10 million to register with the SEC any class of equity securities held of record by either (i) two thousand (2,000) persons or (ii) five hundred (500) persons who are not accredited investors. If an issuer is required to register its securities, it becomes subject to rigorous reporting and recordkeeping and other compliance requirements. As a result, Vaultbanc intends to limit the number of investors to less than two thousand (2,000) in order to avoid triggering these requirements.

Page 94: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

88

If the SEC, Commodity Futures Trading Commission or any other body were to require the registration of this Offering, the Vaultbank Tokens or Vaultbanc, the Fund Manager and/or the Fund under the Advisors Act, the Investment Company Act, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other legal or regulatory scheme, as applicable, there can be no assurance that such persons would be able to timely comply with the requirements of such registration or at all. Neither Vaultbanc, the Fund Manager, the Fund nor any of its respective counsel can assure investors that Vaultbanc, the Fund Manager or the Fund may not become subject to the Investment Company Act, the Advisors Act, the Exchange Act, U.S. broker-dealer rules or other burdensome regulation either as a result of new or evolving laws and regulations and interpretations or existing laws, regulations, and interpretations. Compliance with the disclosure, reporting, compliance and operating-related obligations of a registered entity or offering may be expensive and time-consuming, which may distract management from its investment and operating objectives, increase overhead expenses and decrease funds available for investments and the repurchase or redemption of Vaultbank Tokens. Such compliance may require us to change the management and governance provisions outlined in this offering memorandum or the rights of Vaultbank Token holders. Any requirement for the Fund Manager, Vaultbanc or the Fund to register under the Advisors Act, the Investment Company Act, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, as a broker-dealer under U.S. securities laws, or under any other applicable federal or state securities, commodity, derivative or other applicable legal or regulatory regime, or any penalty for failure to do so, or any determination that this Offering was not conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, could subject such persons to civil or criminal penalties and fines, which could adversely impact the ability of the Fund Manager, Vautbanc and/or the Fund to take the actions outlined in this Offering Memorandum and conduct their business as described in this Offering Memorandum, or at all. Furthermore, such a requirement, penalty or determination could adversely impact the rights, value and transferability of the Vaultbank Tokens and impair your ability to recover your investment in the Vaultbank Tokens. Vaultbanc, the Fund Manager and/or the Fund may regularly rely on exemptions from various requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act or other applicable exemption in other jurisdictions, in conducting our business activities. These exemptions are sometimes highly complex and may in certain circumstances depend on compliance by third parties whom Vaultbanc does not control. If for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable, Vaultbanc, the Fund Manager and/or the Fund could become subject to regulatory action or third-party claims and Vaultbanc’s business could be materially and adversely affected. For example, the "bad actor" disqualification provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act ban an issuer from offering or selling securities pursuant to the safe harbor rule in Rule 506 if the issuer or any other "covered person" is the subject of a criminal, regulatory or court order or other "disqualifying event" under the rule which has not been waived. The definition of "covered person" includes an issuer's directors, Fund Managers, managing members, and executive officers; affiliates who are also issuing securities in the offering; beneficial owners of twenty percent (20%) or more of the issuer's outstanding equity securities; and promoters and persons compensated for soliciting investors in the Offering. Vaultbanc is required to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and administrative pronouncements concerning Know Your Customers and Anit-Money Laundering and other criminal activities (“KYC/AML Laws”). In order to comply with the KYC/AML Laws, Vaultbanc requires Investors to make certain representations in the Subscription Agreement and provide certain information regarding compliance with the KYC/AML Laws prior to finalizing the transaction. If, as a result of any information or other matter which comes to Vaultbanc’s

Page 95: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

89

attention, or if any director, officer or employee of the Fund Manager, or its professional advisors, knows, or suspects that an Investor is engaged in fraud or money laundering, such person is required to report such information or other matter to the regulatory authorities and such report shall not be treated as a breach of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by law or otherwise. Vaultbanc may be subject to regulations imposed by domestic/foreign regulators, in particular the Foreign Account Tax Compliance provisions (commonly known as "FATCA"). FATCA provisions generally impose a reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of non-U.S. financial institutions that do not comply with FATCA and U.S. persons' (within the meaning of FATCA) direct and indirect ownership of non-U.S. accounts and non-U.S. entities. Failure to provide the requested information will lead to a thirty percent (30%) withholding tax applying to certain U.S. source income (including dividends and interest) and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposal of property that can produce U.S. source interest or dividends. Under the terms of FATCA, Vaultbanc and/or the Fund shall be treated as a Foreign Financial Institution (within the meaning of FATCA). As such, Vaultbanc may require all investors to provide documentary evidence of their tax residence and all other information deemed necessary to comply with the abovementioned regulations. Vaultbanc and/or its shareholders may also be indirectly affected by the fact that a non-U.S. financial entity does not comply with FATCA regulations even if Vaultbanc satisfies with its own FATCA obligations. Vaultbanc shall have the right to: • withhold any taxes or similar charges that it is legally required to withhold by applicable

laws and regulations in respect of any shareholding in the Company;

• require Vaultbank Token holders to promptly furnish such personal data as may be required by Vaultbanc in its discretion in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations and/or to promptly determine the amount of withholding to be retained;

• divulge any such personal information to any tax authority, as may be required by applicable laws or regulations or requested by such authority; and

• delay payments of any dividend or redemption proceeds to a Vaultbank Token holder

until Vaultbanc holds sufficient information to comply with applicable laws and regulations or determine the correct amount to be withheld.

14. Business and Regulatory Risk Related to the Fund.

Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the Fund that may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for funds is evolving, and changes in the regulation of funds may adversely affect the value of investments held by the Fund and the ability of the Fund to obtain the leverage it might otherwise obtain or to pursue its trading strategies. The regulators and self-regulatory organizations and exchanges that regulate the Fund and its investments and activities are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of market emergencies. The regulation of funds that engage in such transactions is an evolving area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial actions. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Fund could be substantial and adverse.

Page 96: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

90

US Regulations. The Fund believes that, by virtue of the Investment Company Act Section 3(c)(1), it should not be deemed to be an “investment company” and, accordingly, should not be required to register as such under the Investment Company Act. That provision depends in part, however, on the Fund’s voting securities, being held by not more than one hundred (100) U.S. beneficial owners. The rules and interpretations of the SEC and the courts relating to the definition of “voting securities” and the counting of “beneficial owners” are highly complex and uncertain in numerous respects. Further, the liquid nature of the Vaultbank Tokens make compliance with these requirements particularly complex. As a result, while Vaultbanc has included terms in its Constitution and offering documents that it intends to aid its compliance with the Investment Company Act Section 3(c)(1), the Fund cannot assure investors that it will not be deemed an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act and required to register as such thereunder, in which event the Fund could be subject to legal actions by regulatory authorities and others and could be forced to terminate. The costs of defending any such action could constitute a material part of the Fund’s assets. Termination could have materially adverse effects on the Fund and the value of the Vaultbank Tokens. Neither the Fund nor the Fund Manager is and neither intends to be registered as a finance lender, investment advisor, or broker or dealer under any securities law, although the Fund Manager may become registered with the SEC or any state regulatory authority in the future. If the SEC or any other securities law administrator were to assert that such registration is required, the Fund would bear the resulting increased expenses and its activities could be restricted. If it were determined that the Fund Manager is required to be registered as a finance lender, investment advisor, broker or dealer, at a time when the Fund Manager is not so registered, it might be precluded from performing its duties as such, which could lead to dissolution of the Fund, and liquidation of its investments at a time when such liquidation may be disadvantageous to the Fund, or could lead to other materially adverse effects on the Fund’s activities. Securities and investment businesses generally are regulated comprehensively and intensively under state and federal laws and regulations. Any investigation, litigation or other proceeding that state or federal regulatory agencies or private parties undertake that involves the Fund Manager or the Fund could require them to spend a significant amount of money and time to address those matters, which could have materially adverse consequences for the Fund. European Regulatory Risks Relating to Alternative Investment Funds. The European Council and the European Parliament have approved the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive 2011/61/EU (the “AIFM Directive”) published by the European Commission on alternative investment fund managers (“AIFMs”). The AIFM Directive will be supplemented with further rules and is required to be transposed into the laws of the EU Member States. The overarching purpose of the AIFM Directive is to (a) regulate AIFMs based in the EU and (b) prohibit AIFMs from either (1) managing any alternative investment fund (“AIF”) in the EU or (2) marketing shares in AIFs to investors in the EU unless authorized and, in the case of an AIF domiciled outside of the EU (such as the Fund), unless the domicile of the AIF meets certain conditions. To obtain authorization to market an AIF in the EU, an AIFM (such as the Fund Manager) would create significant additional compliance costs that may be passed to investors in the relevant AIF. “Reverse solicitation,” where an EU investor approaches an AIFM regarding interests in a fund, is outside the scope of the AIFM Directive and presently remains permissible in most EU Member States.

Page 97: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

91

If Vaultbanc were deemed to be marketing in Europe and an AIF, the Fund Manager will be required to, among other things: (a) confirm that U.S. regulatory authorities and the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority have each entered into a cooperation agreement with the regulator of each EU Member State into which the Fund is to be marketed; (b) confirm that the Cayman Islands is not listed as a non-cooperative country for the purposes of the Financial Action Task Force; and (c) provide certain additional regulatory and/or financial information to EU investors and regulators of EU Member States. It is not possible to determine presently the impact that the AIFM Directive will have on the Fund. The Fund may be required to implement steps to comply with Member State national rules to implement the AIFM Directive before Vaultbank Tokens may be marketed in the EU. Compliance measures may be significant, and may require amendments to the Fund’s structure (for example, redomiciling to another jurisdiction). Regulatory changes impairing the Fund Manager’s ability to manage the Fund’s investments, or limiting the Fund’s ability to market, may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to carry out its investment approach, achieve its investment objective or attract new capital from EU sources. Other Regulations. Vaultbanc, the Fund, and the Fund Manager are subject to various other securities and similar laws and regulations in jurisdictions worldwide that could limit some aspects of the Fund’s operations or subject the Fund or the Fund Manager to the risk of sanctions for noncompliance. Investors should inform themselves of any unique risks of their jurisdictions before investing. Any such risks could lead to material losses for Vaultbanc or its termination.

15. Business and Regulatory Risks of the Marketplace Lending Industry. The business models that the lending platforms through which the Fund invests in loans operate are fairly new, and their compliance with various aspects of regulatory regimes applicable to consumer or commercial credit transactions is untested. A federal or state regulator or private plaintiff could take a position that any such platform’s activities (and perhaps the activities of the participants on those platforms, such as the Fund) do not comply with applicable law, and any such regulatory action could adversely affect the Fund and the Vaultbank Tokens. For example, some federal and state courts have recently held that non-bank assignees of loans originated by national banks are not entitled to preemption of state usury laws or otherwise may be required to obtain state credit services or other lending licenses. In addition, the Colorado Attorney General filed a complaint against two lending platforms in February 2017 regarding alleged violations of Colorado’s Uniform Commercial Credit Code citing the court decisions described above. The Fund could be adversely affected if similar court decisions or regulatory actions were rendered or taken against the lending platforms through which the Fund makes investments, or against the Fund itself. Some banks and financing platforms have adjusted their operations in response to those court decisions, but there is no assurance that the operational changes will have the desired effect. The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to hear an appeal of one of those court decisions, and thus the law applicable to some of the Fund’s investments likely will be unfavorable in the jurisdictions subject to that decision, and will be unsettled in other jurisdictions and conflicting between jurisdictions for a significant period of time. In addition, various U.S. federal and state and international regulators have indicated an increased interest in the marketplace lending industry. In May 2016, various federal and state regulators (including the U.S. Department of Justice and SEC) initiated investigations of LendingClub and other lending platforms in response to the events that surrounded the sudden resignation of

Page 98: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

92

LendingClub’s Chief Executive Officer. In 2016, the U.S. Treasury issued a set of recommendations for greater oversight of marketplace lending and enhanced operational and other practices by private sector participants. The FDIC issued several letters to banks providing guidance regarding their compliance obligations when partnering with lending platforms. California’s Department of Business Oversight issued a series of requests for information from a number of lending platforms. The United Kingdom, the E.U., and China have adopted or proposed regulations specifically tailored to the marketplace lending industry. These developments could have a variety of implications for the yields, availability and liquidity of loans through lending platforms as well as the servicing and other fees associated with investments in those loans and the profitability of the lending platforms themselves.

16. Enhanced Scrutiny and Potential Regulation of Private Investment Funds

There has been enhanced governmental scrutiny and/or increased regulation of the private investment fund and financial services industries in general. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires, among other things, registration with the SEC of advisors to private investment funds whose assets under management exceed one hundred and fifty million USD ($150,000,000) (with certain limited exceptions) and imposes new reporting and recordkeeping obligations with respect to the private investment funds they advise. The Dodd-Frank Act, as well as future related legislation, may have an adverse effect on the private investment fund industry generally and/or on the Fund, specifically. In addition, regulatory agencies in the U.S., Europe, or elsewhere may adopt burdensome laws (including tax laws) or regulations, or changes in law or regulation, or in the interpretation or enforcement thereof, which are specifically targeted at the private investment fund industry, or other changes that could adversely affect private investment firms and the funds they sponsor, including the Fund. Additional governmental scrutiny may increase the Fund’s and the Fund Manager’s exposure to potential liabilities and to legal, compliance, and other related costs. Increased regulatory oversight, enhanced regulation and the adoption of new statutes, rules or regulations with respect to the investment activities of the Fund may also reduce the amount and availability of the investment opportunities of the Fund. The reduction of such investment opportunities could have a material and adverse effect on the investment performance of the Fund. Such increased regulatory oversight and regulation may also impose additional administrative burdens on the Fund Manager and such regulatory proposals or any future proposals, if adopted could adversely affect the Fund, including the business, financial condition, and prospects of the Fund.

17. Other Tax and Regulatory Risks Related to Fund Investments.

Tax Uncertainty. The tax characterization of Vaultbank Tokens is uncertain and an Investor should consult his/hers/its own tax advisor regarding the consequences of an investment in Vaultbank Tokens. An investment in Vaultbank Tokens may result in adverse tax consequences to an Investor, including withholding taxes, income taxes, and tax reporting requirements. It is possible that the income of Vaultbanc and/or the Fund would be subject to significant amounts of income and/or withholding taxes. Each potential investor should consult with and must rely upon the advice of its own tax advisor with respect to the United States and non-U.S. tax consequences of an investment in Vaultbank Tokens. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Fund’s investments are uncertain. There appear to be no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions that directly

Page 99: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

93

address the characterization of many of the types of instruments in which the Fund invests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, all prospective purchasers of the Vaultbank Tokens are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S. tax consequences of the purchase and ownership of Vaultbank Tokens (including any possible differing results based on differing treatments of the instruments). For example, the IRS might contend that the Fund is engaged in a trade or business of acting as a lender. If the Fund is so deemed to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business, it would be subject to tax at U.S. corporate tax rates (currently up to thirty five percent (35%) and could also be subject to branch profits tax and taxation in one or more U.S. states. Moreover, the Fund could be liable for taxes for back years causing the current Vaultbank Token holders to bear the economic burden indirectly of taxes for periods prior to when they held their Vaultbank Tokens. In addition, there is some uncertainty how the Fund’s loans and similar instruments should be characterized for income tax purposes and the IRS might contend that interest on those instruments does not qualify as “portfolio interest” and therefore should be subject to withholding at the rate of thirty percent (30%). Regulatory Risks Due to Investments in Subprime Loans. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in subprime loans. These loans are typically offered to borrowers with relatively poor credit or without significant credit histories and carry high interest rates. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) has broad authority over consumer lending activities. The Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) has broad authority over other lending activities (such as small business lending). The CFPB or FTC may impose additional regulations with respect to subprime lending, examine subprime lending arrangements more closely than other types of lending activities or prioritize enforcement of its regulations with respect to subprime lending. Other federal or state regulatory agencies may take similar actions. Any such actions could adversely affect the ability of lending platforms to make sufficient loans available to the Fund, or could adversely affect the Fund Manager or the Fund directly in ways that are difficult to predict. Regulatory Developments. The regulatory or tax environment for the types of securities in which the Fund invests is evolving and may be subject to modification by government or judicial action, which may adversely affect the Fund Manager, the Fund or the value of the Fund’s investments. The actual regulatory and tax changes are impossible to predict, but any such changes may adversely affect the Fund.

18. Asset Valuation The Fund Manager will have substantial discretion in determining the value of the Fund’s assets and liabilities, whether or not a public market exists for loans of the same class or type. Most of the Fund’s investments do not trade on an established secondary market or are subject to irregular trading activity. In some situations, there may be no third-party source for pricing information about the Fund’s assets. In such scenarios, the Fund’s investments will be valued in the Fund Manager’s discretion pursuant to its valuation policy. There is no guarantee that such valuation will be accurate. If the Fund Manager’s valuation of any such asset is inaccurate, the Fund Manager will receive management fees that are greater than the fees to which it would otherwise be entitled. The Fund Manager may not be able to effectively manage the Fund’s investment portfolio, diversification and other internal guidelines and risks if the Fund’s portfolio is inaccurately valued.

19. Regulatory Environment for Blockchain

Page 100: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

94

Regulation of tokens (including the Vaultbank Tokens) and token offerings such as this, cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin and Ethereum), blockchain technologies, and cryptocurrency exchanges currently are undeveloped and likely to rapidly evolve, varies significantly among international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions, and are subject to significant uncertainty. Vaultbanc understands that various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries are currently considering, or may in the future consider, laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions, which may severely impact Vaultbanc and Vaultbank Tokens. Failure by Vaultbank to comply with any laws, rules and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including civil penalties and fines.

New or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations may adversely impact Vaultbanc’s ability to earn, the value of the currency in which Vaultbanc may redeem Vaultbank Tokens or otherwise make distributions on Vaultbank Tokens, the liquidity and market price of Vaultbank Tokens, your ability to access marketplaces on which to trade Vaultbank Tokens, Vaultbanc’s ability to operate as an ongoing concern and the structure, rights and transferability of Vaultbank Tokens. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any new or continuing regulatory scrutiny or initiatives will not have an adverse impact on the value of Vaultbank Tokens and otherwise impede Vaultbanc’s activities.

20. Changing Economic Conditions.

The success of Vaultbanc, and the Fund’s investments, will significantly be impacted by changing external economic conditions in the United States and global economies. The stability and sustainability of growth in global economies may be impacted by terrorism or acts of war. The availability, unavailability, or hindered operation of external credit markets, equity markets, and other economic systems, which Vaultbanc may depend upon to achieve its objectives, may have a significant negative impact on Vaultbanc’s operations and profitability. There can be no assurance that such markets and economic systems will be available or will be available as anticipated or needed for Vaultbank to operate successfully. During highly volatile market conditions, after a significant market decline or at other times, the Fund Manager may choose to hold cash or limit further investments, which may limit the Fund’s profits. There will be other situations in which the Fund Manager constructs a portfolio that is designed to generate a lower target return, typically based on the Fund Manager’s analysis of the relevant lending platform, borrower profiles or based on its view of general economic or market conditions or market outlook.

21. Risk Factors Related to Blockchain Networks. The loss or destruction of a private key required to access blockchain assets may be irreversible. Our or your loss of access to private keys – or any other data loss concerning our blockchain assets could have a material adverse effect on our business or the Vaultbank Token. Blockchain assets include, without limitation, bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, Ether, Vaultbank Tokens, and other cryptographic tokens. Blockchain assets are controllable only by those who know the unique private cryptographic key relating to the network address at which the blockchain assets are held. Vaultbanc and you are required by the operation of many blockchain networks to publish the addresses concerning blockchain assets in use by us. To the extent a private key is lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised, and no backup of the private key is accessible, Vaultbanc or you may not be able to access the blockchain asset associated with the

Page 101: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

95

corresponding address, and the private key will not be capable of being restored by the network. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store blockchain assets could have a material adverse effect on our business or you.

22. The further development and acceptance of blockchain networks, which are part of a new and rapidly changing industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of the blockchain networks upon which Vaultbanc relies would have an adverse material effect on our business. The growth of the blockchain industry, in general, as well as the blockchain networks on which Vaultbanc relies, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the cryptocurrency industry, as well as blockchain networks, include, without limitation:

• Worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Bitcoin, Ether and other blockchain technologies;

• Government and quasi-government regulation of Bitcoin, Ether and other blockchain assets and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of blockchain networks or similar systems;

• The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the Bitcoin or Ethereum networks;

• Changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;

• The availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, or trading assets including new means of using at currencies or existing networks;

• General economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to cryptocurrencies; or

• A decline in the popularity or acceptance of the Bitcoin or Ethereum networks would adversely affect our results of operations.

23. The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of Bitcoins or Ether could materially and adversely affect our business. The prices of blockchain assets are significant uncertainties for our business. The price of Bitcoin and Ether are subject to dramatic fluctuations. Several factors may price, including, but not limited to:

• Global blockchain asset supply;

• Global blockchain asset demand, which can be influenced by the growth of retail merchants’ and commercial businesses’ acceptance of blockchain assets like cryptocurrencies as payment for goods and services, the security of online blockchain asset exchanges and digital wallets that hold blockchain assets, the perception that the use and holding of blockchain assets is safe and secure, and the regulatory restrictions on their use;

• Investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;

Page 102: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

96

• Changes in the software, software requirements or hardware requirements underlying a blockchain network;

• Changes in the rights, obligations, incentives, or rewards for the various participants in a blockchain network;

• Interest rates;

• Currency exchange rates, including the rates at which Bitcoin or Ether may be exchanged for at currencies;

• Fiat currency withdrawal and deposit policies of blockchain asset exchanges and liquidity on such exchanges;

• Interruptions in service from or failures of major blockchain asset Exchanges;

• Investment and trading activities of large investors, including private and registered funds, that may directly or indirectly invest in blockchain assets; and

• Monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations, and revaluations;

• Regulatory measures, if any, that affect the use of blockchain assets;

• The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the Bitcoin or Ethereum networks;

• Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; or

• Expectations among blockchain participants that the value of blockchain assets will soon change.

A decrease in the price of blockchain assets may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

24. The suitability of the blockchain networks on which Vaultbanc relies could decline due to a variety of causes, adversely affecting our business or the functionality of Vaultbank Token.

Blockchain networks are based on software protocols that govern the peer-to-peer interactions between computers connected to these networks. The suitability of the networks for our business or the functionality of the Vaultbank Token depends upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

• The effectiveness of the informal groups of (often uncompensated) developers contributing to the protocols that underlie the networks;

• The effectiveness of the network validators (sometimes called “miners”) and the network’s consensus mechanisms to effectively secure the networks against confirmation of invalid transactions;

• Disputes among the developers or validators of the networks;

• Changes in the consensus or validation schemes that underlie the networks, including, without limitation, shifts between so-called “proof of work” and “proof of stake” schemes;

• The failure of cybersecurity controls or security breaches of the networks;

• The existence of other competing and operational versions of the networks, including, without limitation, so-called “forked” networks;

• The existence of undiscovered technical flaws in the networks;

• The development of new or existing hardware or software tools or mechanisms that could negatively impact the functionality of the systems;

• The price of blockchain assets associated with the networks;

• Intellectual property rights-based or other claims against the networks’ participants; or

• The maturity of the computer software programming languages used in connection with the networks.

Unfavorable developments or characteristics of any of the above circumstances could adversely affect our business or the functionality of Vaultbank Tokens.

25. Developments in regulation in the United States (U.S.) regulation or other countries may alter the nature of our business or restrict the use of blockchain assets or the operation of a blockchain network, upon which Vaultbanc relies in a manner that adversely affects our business or the Vaultbank Token. The application of existing U.S. regulations to the Vaultbank Token is unclear. As blockchain networks and blockchain assets have grown in popularity and in market size, federal and state agencies have begun to take interest in, and, in some cases, regulate, their use and operation. In the case of virtual currencies, state regulators like the New York Department of Financial Services, have created new regulatory frameworks. Others, as in Texas, have published guidance on how their existing regulatory regimes apply to virtual currencies. Some states, like New Hampshire and North Carolina, have amended their state’s statutes to include virtual currencies into existing licensing regimes. Treatment of virtual currencies continues to evolve under federal law as well. Both the Department of the Treasury and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, for example, have published guidance on the treatment of virtual currencies like Bitcoin. The IRS released guidance treating Ether as property that is not currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although there is no indication yet whether other courts or federal or state regulators will follow this classification. Both federal and state agencies have instituted enforcement actions against those violating their interpretation of existing laws. The regulation of non-currency use of blockchain assets is of particular relevance to our business. For example, neither the SEC nor the CFTC has formally asserted regulatory authority over any particular blockchain network. CFTC has publicly taken the position that certain blockchain assets are commodities, but the SEC has not taken the position that any particular blockchain asset is a security. To the extent that a domestic government or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory authority over a blockchain network or asset upon which our business relies, our

Page 104: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

98

business and your investment in Vaultbank Tokens may be adversely affected. Due to the differences between the Vaultbank Token and traditional investment securities, there is a risk that issues that might easily be resolved by existing law if traditional securities were involved may not be easily resolved for the Vaultbank Token. For example, there is little precedent on how existing law might treat the issuance, fungibility, settlement finality, transfer, collateralization, sequestration, loan, hypothecation, redemption, or other disposition of the Vaultbank Token. There is also little precedent on how existing law might treat the rights and obligations between and among Vaultbanc and its Investors. The occurrence of any related issue or dispute could have a material adverse effect on our business or the Vaultbank Token. New developments in the law may also adversely affect the treatment of the Vaultbank Token or our business.

26. Developments in foreign regulation, corporate, and commercial laws may alter the nature of our business or restrict the use of blockchain assets or the operation of a blockchain network upon which Vaultbanc relies in a manner that adversely affects our business.

Blockchain networks currently face an uncertain regulatory landscape in not only the United States but also in many foreign jurisdictions, such as Australia, Canada, Gibraltar, Singapore, Isle of Man, Switzerland, U.K. and Brazil, that have issued guidelines or a regulatory communication regarding cryptocurrencies and ICOs and are still working on ways to regulatory this industry. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations, or directives that affect the Ethereum network and its users, particularly Ethereum Exchanges and service providers that fall within such jurisdictions’ regulatory scope. Such laws, regulations, or directives may conflict with those of the United States or may directly and negatively impact our business. The effect of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to our business. Developments in U.S. commercial and corporate laws may alter the nature of our business or restrict the use of blockchain assets or the operation of a blockchain network upon which Vaultbanc relies in a manner that adversely affects our business or the Vaultbank Token. The application of existing U.S. commercial and corporate laws to the Vaultbank Token is unclear.

27. You may not have the skills necessary to secure, trade, or collect distributions using Vaultbank Token.

Participating in this Offering requires technical skill beyond that of many investors. Securing, trading, or collecting distributions relating to Vaultbank Token requires working knowledge of blockchains, blockchain assets, and their attendant systems and processes. Similar knowledge of blockchain asset exchanges and other industry participants may be required to comply with the requirements of blockchain.

28. Some market participants may oppose the development of blockchain-based systems and tokens like the Vaultbank Token. Many participants in the system currently used in the private equity markets may oppose the development of alternative systems. The market participants who may oppose such a system may include market participants with significantly greater resources, including financial resources and

Page 105: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

99

political influence, than Vaultbanc has. The ability of Vaultbanc to operate could be adversely affected by any actions of any such market participants that result in additional regulatory requirements or other activities that make it more difficult for Vaultbanc to operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or the Vaultbank Token.

29. The number of Vaultbank Tokens traded and the number of venues available for trading may be very low, making the market price more easily manipulated.

While the risk of market manipulation exists in connection with the trading of any security, the risk may be greater for the Vaultbank Token because so few Vaultbank Tokens will be available for trading. Likewise, the venues available for trading Vaultbank Tokens, like exchanges, may be limited. Those venues may themselves become unavailable due to legal, technological or business requirements.

30. Tax Risk Relating to Treatment of Virtual Currencies

Many significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of virtual currencies, such as Vaultbank Tokens, are uncertain, and Vaultbanc does not intend to request a ruling from the IRS on these issues. On March 25, 2014, the IRS released the Notice, which discusses certain aspects of the treatment of virtual currencies, such as Bitcoins, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the Notice, the IRS stated that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) Bitcoins are “property” that is not currency and (ii) Bitcoins may be held as capital assets. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will not alter its position with respect to Bitcoins and other virtual currencies, such as Vaultbank Tokens, in the future or that a court would uphold the treatment set forth in the Notice. If the Vaultbank Tokens were properly treated as currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain recognized on the disposition of Vaultbank Tokens would constitute ordinary income, and losses recognized on the disposition of Vaultbank Tokens could be subject to special reporting requirements applicable to “reportable transactions.” The remainder of this discussion assumes that Vaultbank Tokens are properly treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as property held for investment that is not currency. Prospective investors are strongly urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the substantial uncertainty regarding the tax consequences of acquiring, holding, and disposing Vaultbank Tokens. (See “H. Certain Tax Considerations—(ii) Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations— Uncertainty Regarding the U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Vaultbank Tokens”).

31. Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Risk Depending upon the composition of Vaultbanc’s and the Fund’s assets and income, Vaultbanc may be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If Vaultbanc is classified as a PFIC in any taxable year in which a U.S. Holder (defined above) holds Vaultbank Tokens, such U.S. Holder would generally be taxed at higher ordinary income tax rates, rather than lower capital gain rates, when the U.S. Holder disposes of Vaultbank Tokens at a gain, even if Vaultbanc is not a PFIC in the year of the disposition. In addition, a portion of the tax imposed on such U.S. Holder’s gain would be increased by an interest charge. Moreover, if Vaultbanc is classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would not be able to benefit from any preferential tax rate with respect to any dividend distribution that such U.S. Holder may receive

Page 106: INITIAL TOKEN OFFERING MEMORANDUM VAULTBANC LTD. · the Lock-up Period and any sale and/or transfers after expiry of the Lock-up Period will be registered with Vaultbanc and they

VAULTBANC LTD. OFFERING MEMORANDUM

100

from Vaultbanc in that year or any later year. Finally, a U.S. Holder would also be subject to special tax reporting requirements. Based the expected composition of Vaultbanc’s and the Fund’s assets and income, Vaultbanc believes that it is likely that it will be a PFIC for its current taxable year ending December 31, 2017 and for future taxable years. Potential U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in Vaultbank Tokens under the PFIC rules. For a more detailed explanation of the tax consequences of PFIC classification of Vaultbanc to U.S. investors, see “H. Certain Tax Considerations—(ii) Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

The foregoing risks do not purport to be a complete explanation of all the risks involved in acquiring an interest in Vaultbanc. Potential investors are urged to read this entire Offering Memorandum before making a determination whether to acquire an interest in Vaultbanc.
