Institutional $4 million Bridge Funding Secured to Expand Bitcoin Business

 

London, New York, May 14, 2025, Vinanz Limited; the London Stock Exchange Main
Market Listed Bitcoin company with North American Bitcoin operations,
announces that through its US bankers Dominari Securities (refer to Vinanz's
press release dated 7 April 2025) it has secured a substantial investment into
Vinanz by a global investment manager ("Investor"). The Company has entered
into an investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") with the Investor
pursuant to which the Company can utilise up to US$4 million over two
tranches. The first tranche of US$2 million is being used to assist the
Company in growing its Bitcoin assets prior to a potential NASDAQ dual
listing. The second tranche of US$2 million may be drawn down in the future
subject to certain conditions having been satisfied.

 

David Lenigas, Chairman of Vinanz, comments; "The first $2m of this
Institutional Bridge funding has been banked and Vinanz is working to deploy
these funds into Bitcoin assets in the near term and further updates will be
provided shortly on the deployment. We are appreciative of our US banker's
efforts in securing this Bridge funding. In this exciting era of Bitcoin's
growing credibility as a viable global financial instrument and store of
wealth - time is money and time is short - so Vinanz is looking at all avenues
to access growth capital and this Bridge funding comes at just the right time
for us."

 

This funding has been put in place specifically to bolster the Company's
exposure to the Bitcoin sector prior to a proposed NASDAQ dual listing. The
Company anticipates that the funding will be cleared or amended in its current
form either prior to a NASDAQ listing or as part of any NASDAQ IPO.

 

The Investment Agreement entered into with the Investor provides for the
Company to drawdown up to US$4,000,000 in convertible debt, subject to certain
conditions precedent. The Investment is split into two tranches with the first
tranche of US$2,000,000 having already been received.

 

Under the Investment Agreement, the Company shall repay the amount of each
advance, together with interest (at a rate of 5% per annum, accruing on a
daily basis and calculated on a 365 day year), on the date falling 12 months
from the relevant drawdown date. In respect of an advance, the Investor may
elect to convert any outstanding amount of principal and/or any interest
thereon into such number of shares in the Company as is equal to the amount to
be converted divided by the lower of (i) 25 pence per share, or (ii) 95% of
the lowest single daily VWAP in respect of the Company's shares during the 10
trading days immediately preceding the date that the Investor makes its
conversion election. The Investor's right to convert any portion of an advance
is subject to obligations not to (i) convert any amount within 90 days of the
date of the Investment Agreement, unless the relevant conversion price is 25
pence per share, and (ii) beneficially own more than 4.99% of the shares in
the Company at any time. The Company is providing the Investor with customary
warranties, indemnities and undertakings.
