About B HODL:

 

B HODL is the first UK-listed company founded for Bitcoin accumulation and
revenue generation. The Company operates a treasury-led strategy, deploying
its Bitcoin holdings to power the Lightning Network and generate sustainable
revenues from routing fees and liquidity provision. With a world-class team
and a Bitcoin-only focus, B HODL aims to become the leading British Bitcoin
company, giving investors transparent exposure to the growth of Bitcoin as
both a strategic asset and a global financial standard.

 

Important Notice

 

The Company intends to hold treasury reserves and surplus cash in Bitcoin.
This is a type of cryptocurrency or cryptoassets. Whilst the Board of
Directors of the Company considers holding cryptocurrencies to be in the best
interests of the Company, the Board remains aware that the financial regulator
in the UK (the Financial Conduct Authority or FCA) considers investment in
cryptocurrencies to be high risk. At the outset, it is important to note that
an investment in the Company is not an investment in cryptocurrencies, either
directly or by proxy and shareholders will have no direct access to the
Company's holdings. However, the Board of Directors consider cryptocurrencies
to be an appropriate store of value and potential growth and therefore
appropriate for the Company's reserves. Accordingly, the Company is and
intends to continue to be materially exposed to cryptocurrencies. Such an
approach is innovative, and the Board of Directors wish to be clear and
transparent with prospective and actual investors in the Company on the
Company's position in this regard.

 

The Company is neither authorised nor regulated by the FCA, and the purchase
of certain cryptocurrencies are generally unregulated in the UK. As with most
other investments, the value of cryptocurrencies can go down as well as up,
and therefore the value of the Company's cryptocurrencies holdings can
fluctuate. The Company may not be able to realise its cryptocurrencies
holdings for the same as it paid to acquire them or even for the value the
Company currently ascribes to its cryptocurrencies positions due to market
movements. Neither the Company nor investors in the Company's shares are
protected by the UK's Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme.

 

Nevertheless, the Board has taken the decision to invest in cryptocurrencies,
and in doing so is mindful of the special risks cryptocurrencies present to
the Company's financial position. These risks include (but are not limited
to): (i) the value of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile, with value
dropping as quickly as it can rise. Investors in cryptocurrencies must be
prepared to lose all money invested in cryptocurrencies; (ii) the
cryptocurrencies market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing
money due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and counterparty
failure; (iii) the Company may not be able to sell its cryptocurrencies at
will. The ability to sell cryptocurrencies depends on various factors,
including the supply and demand in the market at the relevant time.
Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling
of funds could cause unwanted delay; and (iv) cryptoassets are characterised
in some quarters by high degrees of fraud, money laundering and financial
crime. In addition, there is a perception in some quarters that cyber-attacks
are prominent which can lead to theft of holdings or ransom demands.
Prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to do your own research
before investing.
