Invest Inc.

Up to 3,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

11500 W Olympic Blvd. Suite 562

Los Angeles, California 90064


 

Invest Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), is offering up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Offering”). The initial price per share is $6.00 for an Offering amount of up to $18,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering”) on a best efforts basis. There is no required minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds that must be sold as a condition to completion of the Offering.

 

We may conduct an initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) at any time (the “Initial Closing Date”) provided that the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Thereafter, this Offering will terminate at the earlier of: (1) the date at which the Maximum Offering has been sold; (2) the date which is one year after this Offering being qualified by the Commission; or (3) the date on which this Offering is earlier terminated by us in our sole discretion (the “Termination Date”).

 

If, on the Initial Closing Date, we have sold less than the Maximum Offering, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales (each an “Additional Closing”) until the Termination Date. We will consider various factors in determining the timing of any Additional Closings, including but not limited to the amount of proceeds received at the Initial Closing, any Additional Closings that have already been held, and indications of interest shown by any additional prospective investors.

 

From the date of qualification until the Initial Closing Date, and thereafter pending any Additional Closings on subsequent closing dates (“Additional Closing Dates,”) and with the Initial Closing Date, a “Closing Date”) the proceeds from the Offering will be kept in an escrow account. Upon the Initial Closing Date and upon each Additional Closing Date, if any, the proceeds therefrom will be distributed to us and the associated securities will be issued to the investors therein. We have engaged tZERO ATS, LLC, a Commission-registered broker dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC to act as our escrow agent for the Offering (together with permitted assignees, the “Escrow Agent”). We will pay the Escrow Agent a $1,000 fee for its services for the Offering. If the Initial Closing never occurs, any proceeds from the Offering will be promptly returned to investors by the Escrow Agent, without deduction or interest. (See “Plan of Distribution.”)

 

We have engaged tZERO Markets, LLC (“tZERO Markets”) to act as our exclusive placement agent andbroker-dealer of record for this Offering. In connection with this Offering, we are paying tZERO Markets 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

 

The minimum purchase requirement per investor is $600 or 100 shares of common stock; however, we can waive the minimum purchase requirement on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. We expect to commence the sale of the shares as of the date on which the Offering Statement, of which this Offering Circular is a part, is qualified by the Commission.

 

Our common stock will initially not be listed for trading on any national securities exchange. After the Final Closing, we intend to make our common stock available for trading on the alternative trading system operated by tZERO ATS, LLC (the “tZERO ATS”), subject to tZERO ATS, LLC’s due diligence and on-boarding procedures. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in making our common stock available to trade on the tZERO ATS.

 

 

 

 

Currently, our officers and directors own 60% of our common stock After the Offering, assuming all of the shares being offered are sold, our officers and directors will hold 50% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws. (See “Offering Circular Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”)

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. (See Risk Factors beginning on page 7.)

 

This Offering will terminate at the earlier of (i) the date at which the Maximum Offering amount set forth above has been sold, or (ii) the date at which this Offering is earlier terminated by us at our sole discretion. At least every 12 months after this Offering has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will file a post-qualification amendment to include our recent financial statements.

 

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not pass upon the merits of or give its approval to any securities offered or the terms of the Offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any Offering Circular or other solicitation materials. These securities are offered pursuant to an exemption from registration with the Commission; however, the Commission has not made an independent determination that the securities offered are exempt from registration.

 

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this Offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. (See Plan of DistributionInvestment Limitations.) Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

 

The securities described in this Offering Circular (the “Offering Circular”) may not be sold until qualified by the Commission. This Offering Circular is not an offer to sell, nor solicitation of an offer to buy, any of our securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such sale is prohibited. This Offering Circular follows the disclosure format prescribed by Part I of Form S-1 pursuant to the general instructions of Part II(a)(1)(ii) of Form 1-A.

 

For more information concerning the procedures of the Offering, please refer to “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 59.

 

The date of this Offering Circular is March 29, 2023

OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular, but it does not contain all of the information that you may consider important in making your investment decision. Therefore, you should read this entire Offering Circular carefully, including, in particular, the “Risk Factors” section of this Offering Circular.

 

Our Company

 

Invest Inc. was formed on October 7, 2020 as a Wyoming corporation. We have developed a platform named “Invest.inc,” an investment research platform that provides retail investors access to personalized institutional-level market information and tools to make well-researched, educated investment decisions for their portfolios. In addition to serving retail investors, we provide public companies with an enterprise solution for media buying, allowing issuers to utilize a robust advertising platform to reach their target audiences.

 

The vision of Invest.inc is to provide our users with an innovative machine-learning (“ML”) platform that is intended to curate useful, personalized, and functional investment news recommendations. The platform is being designed to provide investors with personalized, high-quality investment content through an easy-to-use interface. The system is planned to use supervised and unsupervised ML algorithms that draw from user behavior data, content analysis of investment news articles, and other external factors such as market trends and economic indicators.

 

Currently, to the best of our knowledge, there is no other machine-learning-first-designed investment platform like the one we have planned. We believe that our proposed sleek design and utility could generate a high level of engagement from the investment sector, while also drawing in a highly sought-after user base for advertisers. Thus, companies seeking brand awareness may be willing to pay to advertise on our platform.

 

Our Industry

 

Prior experiment results show that recommendation systems can increase site visit lengths by 2.5 times and result in 35% more clicks,1 increasing traffic, engagement, and revenue. We plan to have a powerful and ML-based recommendation engine developed to help investors make the most informed decisions about their investments, while alleviating them from the time-consuming search for information relevant to them.

 

The financial services sector has experienced a rapid digital transformation in recent years, and we believe that fintech, in particular, is poised for significant growth.

 

Fintech opportunities in retail investing have expanded as the space has attracted an influx of new participants who have a growing influence on global markets. Roughly six million Americans downloaded trading apps in January 2021 alone, with retail brokerages seeing daily volumes for equity and options trades reach record highs.2 One structure analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence estimated that retail investors accounted for an average of 23% of all U.S. equity trading in 2021, more than doubling the share they held in 2019.3

 

As interest in retail investing has skyrocketed, interest from venture capital (“VC”) firms in fintech has accelerated with a flurry of deal activity. In the first quarter of 2022 alone, fintech companies raised more than $29.3 billion across more than 1,200 deals.4 The median pre-money valuation for VC-backed, late-stage fintech companies increased 44.5% to $257.5 million in Q1 2022,5 while early-stage median pre-money valuations increased by 50% to $45 million.6

 

Given this backdrop, we aim to capitalize on emerging trends in the equities markets by becoming a leader in a rapidly growing sector that needs a functional, artificial intelligence (“AI”) native platform for high-quality, personalized investment content and ads. We want our product to provide institutional-level financial information, to allow all investors to be as informed in the decision-making process as possible.

Summary Risk Factors

 

An investment in our securities involves risks. You should consider carefully the risks discussed below and described more fully along with other risks under “Risk Factors” in this Offering Circular before investing in our securities.

 

  This is a highly speculative investment.
     
  There is currently no public market for shares of our common stock, a trading market for our common stock may never develop following this Offering, and our common stock prices may be volatile and could decline substantially following this Offering.
     
  If you purchase common stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate dilution.
     
  Our executive officers and directors will control us.
     
  We have inadequate capital and need additional financing to accomplish our business and strategic plans. The terms of subsequent financings, if any, may adversely impact your investment.
     
  If we are unable to attract new customers, retain customers, expand our products and services offerings, or identify areas of higher growth, our revenue growth and profitability will be harmed.
     
  Our efforts to expand our service offerings and to develop and integrate our existing services in order to keep pace with policy, regulatory, political, and technological developments may not succeed.
     
  We rely on third parties, including public sources, for data, information, and other products and services, and our relationships with such third parties may not be successful or may change, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
     
  Our ability to introduce new features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements is dependent on adequate research and development resources. If we do not adequately fund our research and development efforts, or if our research and development investments do not translate into material enhancements to our products and services, we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected.
     
  Larger and more well-funded companies with access to significant resources and sophisticated technologies may shift their business model to become our direct competitors.
     
  Issues in the use of artificial intelligence (including machine learning) in our platforms may result in reputational harm or liability.
     
  Our use of any “open-source” software under restrictive licenses could: (i) adversely affect our ability to license and commercialize certain elements of our proprietary code based on the commercial terms of our choosing; (ii) result in a loss of our trade secrets or other intellectual property rights with respect to certain portions of our proprietary code; and (iii) subject us to litigation and other disputes.
     
  We have entered into certain licensing agreements and other strategic relationships with third parties. These agreements and relationships may not continue and we may not be successful in entering into other similar agreements and relationships. If we fail to maintain our current licensing agreements or establish new relationships, it could result in loss of revenue and harm our business and financial condition or inability for us to use the intellectual property licensed to us by the applicable third party.

 

Corporate Information

 

We were formed as a Wyoming company in October 2020 under the name Invest Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 11500 W Olympic Blvd., Suite 562, Los Angeles, California.

 

Our main telephone number is 801-503-6130. Our website is www.invest.inc. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference and is not a part of this Offering Circular.

 

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These provisions include, among other matters:

 

  an exemption to provide fewer years of financial statements and other financial data;
     
  an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting;
     
  an exemption from new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies and from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation;
     
  reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and
     
  no requirement to seek non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

 

We have elected to adopt the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of these elections, the information that we provide in this Offering Circular may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies.

 

We would cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this Offering, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700,000,000 as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

(See “Description of Capital Stock.”)

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should be considered highly speculative. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, which address the material risks concerning our business and an investment in our common stock, together with the other information contained in this Offering Circular. If any of the risks discussed in this Offering Circular occur, our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have limited operating history.

 

We were formed on October 7, 2020, and have no operating history upon which investors may evaluate our prospects or performance. We can provide no assurances that our operations will ever be profitable. Our prospects must be considered considering the risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our goals, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The rapid growth we may experience in our business, both organically and inorganically, may place significant demands on our operational infrastructure. As usage of our products and services grows, we will need to devote additional resources to improving and maintaining our infrastructure and integrating with third-party applications, including open-source software. In addition, we will need to appropriately scale our internal business systems and our services organization to serve our growing customer base. Any failure of or delay in these efforts could lead to impaired system performance and reduced customer satisfaction, resulting in decreased sales to customers, lower dollar-based net retention rates, which would hurt our revenue growth and our reputation. Even if we are successful in our expansion efforts, they will be expensive and complex, and require the dedication of significant management time and attention. We could also face inefficiencies or service disruptions as a result of our efforts to scale our internal infrastructure. We cannot be sure that the expansion of and improvements to our internal infrastructure will be effectively implemented on a timely basis, if at all, and such failures could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We have a history of net losses and anticipate increasing operating expenses in the future, and may not be able to achieve and, if achieved, maintain profitability.

 

We have operated at a net loss since our inception. We may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. Because the market for our products and services is rapidly evolving, it is difficult for us to predict our future results of operations or the limits of our market opportunity. We expect our operating expenses to significantly increase over the next several years as we hire additional personnel, expand our partnerships, operations and infrastructure, and continue to enhance our products and services and develop and expand their features, integrations, and capabilities. We also intend to continue to build and enhance our platforms through both internal research and development and possible pursuing acquisitions that can contribute to the capabilities of our platforms. If our revenue does not increase to offset the expected increases in our operating expenses, we may not be profitable in future periods. In future periods, our revenue growth could slow or our revenue could decline for a number of reasons, including any failure to increase the number of companies wanting to advertise on our platform or grow the size of our engagements with new and existing customers, a decrease in the growth of our overall market, our failure, for any reason, to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities, slowing demand for our products, additional regulatory burdens, or increasing competition. As a result, our past financial performance may not be indicative of our future performance.

 

If we are unable to attract new customers, retain existing customers, expand our products and services offerings with existing customers, or identify areas of higher growth, our revenue growth and profitability will be harmed.

 

Our success depends on our ability to acquire new customers, retain existing customers, expand our engagements with existing customers, and identify areas of higher growth, and to do so in a cost-effective manner. We have made significant investments related to customer acquisition and retention, expect to continue to spend significant amounts on these efforts in future periods, and cannot guarantee that the revenue from new or existing customers will ultimately exceed the costs of these investments.

 

 

Additionally, if we fail to deliver a quality user experience, or if customers do not perceive the products and services we offer to be of high value and quality, we may be unable to acquire or retain customers. Additionally, if we are unable to acquire or retain customers to a level that where our revenues will exceed our losses from the user side, , we may be unable to achieve our operational objectives. Consequently, our prices may increase, or may not decrease to levels sufficient to generate customers’ interest, our revenue may decrease, our margins may decline, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our efforts to expand our service offerings and to develop and integrate our existing services in order to keep pace with policy, regulatory, political and technological developments may not succeed.

 

Our efforts to expand our current service offerings may not succeed and, as a result, we may not achieve profitability or the revenue growth rate we expect. In addition, the markets for certain of our offerings remain relatively new and it is uncertain whether our efforts, and related investments, will ever result in significant revenue for us. We may be required to continuously enhance our technology platforms, including artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) capabilities and algorithms, to maintain and improve the quality of our products and services in order to remain competitive with alternatives. Further, the introduction of significant platform changes and upgrades, may not succeed and early-stage interest and adoption of such new services may not result in long term success or significant revenue for us. Additionally, if we fail to anticipate or identify significant technology trends and developments early enough, or if we do not devote appropriate resources to adapting to such trends and developments, our business could be harmed.

 

If we are unable to develop or acquire enhancements to, and new features for, our existing or new services that keep pace with rapid technological developments, our business could be harmed. The success of enhancements and new or acquired products and services depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of the feature, service or enhancement by customers, administrators and developers, as well as our ability to seamlessly integrate all of our product and service offerings and develop adequate selling capabilities in new markets. Failure in this regard may significantly impair our revenue growth as well as negatively impact our operating results if the additional costs are not offset by additional revenues. We may not be successful in either developing or acquiring these enhancements and new products and services or effectively bringing them to market.

 

Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new services or technologies, or modifications to existing services or technologies, or changes in customer usage patterns thereof, could increase our research and development or service delivery expenses or lead to our increased reliance on certain vendors. Any failure of our services to operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our services, result in customer dissatisfaction and harm our business.

 

If we have overestimated the size of its total addressable market, our future growth rate may be limited.

 

It is difficult to accurately estimate the size of the investment information services and legal and regulatory information markets and predict with certainty the rate at which the market for our services will grow, if at all. While our market size estimate was made in good faith and is based on assumptions and estimates we believe to be reasonable, this estimate may not be accurate. If our estimates of the size of our addressable market are not accurate, our potential for future growth may be less than we currently anticipate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We rely on third parties, including public sources, for data, information and other products and services, and our relationships with such third parties may not be successful or may change, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Our products and services rely upon data, information, and services obtained from third-party providers and public sources. Such data, information, and services are made available to our customers or are integrated for our customers’ use through information and technology solutions provided by us and third-party service providers. We have commercial relationships with third-party providers whose capabilities complement our own and, in some cases, these providers are also our competitors. The priorities and objectives of these providers, particularly those that are our competitors, may differ from ours, which may make us vulnerable to unpredicted price increases, unfavorable licensing terms and other adverse circumstances. Agreements with such third-party providers periodically come up for renewal or renegotiation, and there is a risk that such negotiations may result in different rights and restrictions, which could impact or eliminate our customers’ use of the content. In addition, as the number of products and services in our markets increases and the functionality of these products and services further overlaps with third-party products and services, we may become increasingly subject to claims by a third party that our products and services infringe on such party’s IP rights. Moreover, providers that are not currently our competitors may become competitors or be acquired by or merge with a competitor in the future, any of which could reduce our access to the information and technology solutions provided by those companies. If we do not maintain, or obtain the expected benefits from, our relationships with third-party providers or if a substantial number of our third-party providers or any key service providers were to withdraw their services, we may be less competitive, our ability to offer products and services to our customers may be negatively affected, and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

 

 

If we are not able to obtain and maintain accurate, comprehensive, or reliable data, or if the expert analysis we produce contains any material errors or omissions, we could experience reduced demand for our products and services.

 

Our success depends on our customers’ confidence in the depth, breadth, and accuracy of our data. The task of establishing and maintaining accurate data is challenging and expensive. The depth, breadth, and accuracy of our data differentiates us from our competitors. If our data, including the data we obtain from third parties and our data extraction, structuring, and analytics are not current, accurate, comprehensive, or reliable, or if any expert analysis we produce contains material errors or omissions, customers could have negative experiences, which in turn would reduce the likelihood of customers renewing or upgrading their subscriptions and our reputation could be harmed, making it more difficult to obtain new customers.

 

Our ability to introduce new features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements is dependent on adequate research and development resources. If we do not adequately fund our research and development efforts, or if our research and development investments do not translate into material enhancements to our products and services, we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

 

To remain competitive, we must continue to develop new features, integrations, and capabilities to our products and services. This is particularly true as we further expand our ML capabilities. Maintaining adequate research and development resources, such as the appropriate personnel and development technology, to meet the demands of the market is essential. If we are unable to develop features, integrations, and capabilities internally due to certain constraints, such as lack of management ability, or a lack of other research and development resources, our business may be harmed.

 

Moreover, research and development projects can be technically challenging and expensive. The nature of these research and development cycles may cause us to experience delays between the time we incur expenses associated with research and development and the time we are able to offer compelling features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements and generate revenue, if any, from such investment. Anticipated demand for a feature, integration, capability, or enhancement we are developing could decrease after the development cycle has commenced, and we would nonetheless be unable to avoid substantial costs associated with the development of any such feature, integration, capability, or enhancement. Additionally, we may experience difficulties with software development, design, or marketing that could affect the length of these research and development cycles that could further delay or prevent our development, introduction, or implementation of features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements. If we expend a significant amount of resources on research and development and our efforts do not lead to the successful introduction or improvement of features, integrations, and capabilities that are competitive, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Further, our competitors may expend more on their respective research and development programs or may be acquired by larger companies that would allocate greater resources to our competitors’ research and development programs or our competitors may be more efficient or effective in their research and development activities. Our failure to maintain adequate research and development resources or to compete effectively with the research and development programs of our competitors would give an advantage to such competitors and may harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Larger and more well-funded companies with access to significant resources and sophisticated technologies may shift their business model to become our direct competitors.

 

Companies in related industries, such as Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, and Standard and Poor’s (“S&P,”) may choose to compete with us and would immediately have access to greater resources and brand recognition. We cannot anticipate how rapidly such a potential competitor could create products or services that would take significant market share from us or even surpass our products or services in quality. The entry of a large, well-funded competitor in our space could reduce demand for our products and services or reduce the price we can demand from new customers or upgrades from existing customers, negatively affecting our revenue and profitability.

 

If we fail to protect and maintain our brand, our ability to attract and retain customers will be impaired, our reputation may be harmed, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may suffer.

 

We believe that maintaining and promoting our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to expanding our base of customers on both the retail investor side and on the issuer-advertiser side. Maintaining, promoting, and positioning our brand and the reputation of our businesses will depend on our ability to provide useful, reliable information, products, and services.

 

 

We may introduce, or make changes to, features, products, services, privacy practices, or terms of service that customers do not like, which may materially and adversely affect our brand. Our brand promotion activities may not generate customer awareness or increase revenue, and even if they do, any increase in revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business could be materially and adversely harmed.

 

Harm to our brands can arise from many sources, including failure by us or our partners and service providers to satisfy expectations of service and quality, inadequate protection or misuse of information with respect to customers’ affairs or strategies, personally identifiable information, compliance failures and claims, regulatory inquiries and enforcement, rumors, litigation and other claims, misconduct by our partners, employees or other counterparties, , any of which could lead to a tarnished reputation and loss of customers.

 

Any negative publicity about our industry or our company, the quality and reliability of our products and services, our compliance and risk management processes, changes to our products and services, our ability to effectively manage and resolve customer complaints, our privacy, data protection, and information security practices, litigation, regulatory licensing and infrastructure, and the experience of our customers with our products or services could adversely affect our reputation and the confidence in and use of our products and services. If we do not successfully maintain a strong and trusted brand, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We rely on the performance of highly skilled personnel, including our management and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of such personnel, or of a significant number of team members, could harm our business.

 

We believe our success depends on the efforts and talents of senior management and key personnel, including Jacob Fernane, our President and Chairman of the Board and Marc McNeill, our Chief Executive Officer. From time to time, there may be changes in our management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives and key employees, which could disrupt our business. Our senior management and key employees are employed on an at-will basis. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any member of our senior management or other key employees or that we would be able to timely replace members of our senior management or other key employees should any of them depart. The loss of one or more of our senior management or other key employees could harm our business.

 

If we do not effectively maintain and grow our research and development team with top talent, including employees who are trained in artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced algorithms, we may be unable to continue to improve our artificial intelligence capabilities, and our revenues and other results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees, software engineers and other employees or contractors with the technical skills in AI, machine learning, and advanced algorithms that will enable us to deliver effective products and services. Competition for highly skilled engineers and developers in our industry is intense, in particular in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and larger companies with access to more substantial resources pursue such top talent aggressively.

 

We may be unable to attract or retain such highly skilled personnel who are critical to our success, which could hinder our ability to keep pace with innovation and technological change in our industry or result in harm to our key customer relationships, loss of key information, expertise or proprietary knowledge and unanticipated recruitment and training costs. The loss of the services of such key employees could make it more difficult to successfully operate our business and pursue our business goals.

 

Issues in the use of artificial intelligence (including machine learning) in our platforms may result in reputational harm or liability.

 

AI is or will be enabled by or integrated into our platform and is a significant and potentially growing element of our business. As with many developing technologies, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. Further, there is a risk that AI algorithms may be flawed and datasets may be insufficient, of poor quality, or contain biased information. In addition, inappropriate or controversial data practices by data scientists, engineers, and end-users of our systems could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. If the recommendations, forecasts, or analyses that AI applications assist in producing are deficient or inaccurate, we could be subjected to competitive harm, potential legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Further, some AI scenarios may present ethical issues. Though our technologies and business practices are designed to mitigate many of these risks, if we enable or offer AI solutions that are controversial because of their purported or real impact on human rights, privacy, employment, or other social issues, we may experience brand or reputational harm.

 

 

Our use of any open-source software under restrictive licenses could: (i) adversely affect our ability to license and commercialize certain elements of our proprietary code base on the commercial terms of our choosing; (ii) result in a loss of our trade secrets or other intellectual property rights with respect to certain portions of our proprietary code; and (iii) subject us to litigation and other disputes.

 

We have incorporated certain third-party “open-source” software (“OSS”) or modified OSS into elements of our proprietary code base in connection with the development of our products and services. In general, this OSS has been incorporated and is used pursuant to ‘permissive’ OSS licenses, which are designed to be compatible with our use and commercialization of our own proprietary code base. However, we have also incorporated and use some OSS under restrictive OSS licenses. Under these restrictive OSS licenses, we could be required to release to the public the source code of certain elements of our proprietary software that: (i) incorporate OSS or modified OSS in a certain manner; and (ii) have been conveyed or distributed to the public, or with which the public interacts. Although we monitor our use of OSS, in addition to the use of OSS that we are aware of, there is a risk that OSS will be inadvertently or impermissibly incorporated into our software, including by our developers or service providers. In some cases, we may be required to ensure that elements of our proprietary software are licensed to the public on the terms set out in the relevant OSS license or at no cost. This could allow competitors to use certain elements of our proprietary software on a relatively unrestricted basis, or develop similar software at a lower cost. In addition, open-source licensors generally do not provide warranties for their open-source software, and the open-source software may contain security vulnerabilities that we must actively manage or patch. It may be necessary for us to commit substantial resources to remediate our use of OSS under restrictive OSS licenses, for example by engineering alternative or work-around code.

 

There is an increasing number of open-source software license types, and the terms under many of these licenses are unclear or ambiguous, and have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and therefore, the potential impact of such licenses on our business is not fully known or predictable. As a result, these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our own proprietary code (and in particular the elements of our proprietary code which incorporates OSS or modified OSS). Furthermore, we could become subject to lawsuits or claims challenging our use of open-source software or compliance with open-source license terms. If unsuccessful in these lawsuits or claims, we could face IP infringement or other liabilities, be required to seek costly licenses from third parties for the continued use of third-party IP, be required to re-engineer elements of our proprietary code base (e.g., for the sake of avoiding third-party IP infringement), discontinue or delay the use of infringing aspects of our proprietary code base (such as if re-engineering is not feasible), or disclose and make generally available, in source code form, certain elements of our proprietary code. Any such re-engineering or other remedial efforts could require significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to successfully complete any such re-engineering or other remedial efforts.

 

More broadly, the use of OSS can give rise to greater risks than the use of commercially acquired software, since open-source licensors usually limit their liability in respect of the use of the OSS, and do not provide support, warranties, indemnifications or other contractual protections regarding the use of the OSS, which would ordinarily be provided in the context of commercially acquired software.

 

Any of the foregoing could adversely impact the value of certain elements of our proprietary code base, and its ability to enforce its intellectual property rights in such code base against third parties. In turn, this could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

We may not be able to adequately obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our proprietary and intellectual property rights in our data or technology.

 

Our success depends in part on our and our licensors’ success in obtaining and maintaining effective intellectual property protection. We may be unsuccessful in adequately protecting our intellectual property. We may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce or license all necessary or desirable intellectual property applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner, or in all jurisdictions. Any failure to obtain or maintain patent and other intellectual property protection may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

 

We depend on our proprietary technology, intellectual property and services for our success and ability to compete. We rely and expect to continue to rely on a combination of non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and other parties with whom we have relationships and who may have access to confidential or other protectable aspects of our research and development outputs, as well as trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. We cannot guarantee employees, consultants, or other parties will comply with confidentiality, non-disclosure, or invention assignment agreements or that such agreements will otherwise be effective in controlling access to and distribution of our products and services, or certain aspects of our products and services, and proprietary information. Additionally, we may be subject to claims from third parties challenging our ownership interest in or inventorship of intellectual property we regard as our own, for example, based on claims that its agreements with employees or consultants obligating them to assign intellectual property to us are ineffective or in conflict with prior or competing contractual obligations to assign inventions to another employer, to a former employer, or to another person or entity. Further, these agreements do not prevent our competitors from independently developing products and services that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products and services. Additionally, certain unauthorized use of our intellectual property may go undetected, or we may face legal or practical barriers to enforcing our legal rights even where unauthorized use is detected.

 

We may rely upon trademarks to build and maintain the integrity of our brands. Our trademarks or trade names may be challenged, infringed, circumvented, declared unenforceable or determined to be violating or infringing on other intellectual property rights. We may not be able to sufficiently protect or successfully enforce our rights to these trademarks and trade names.

 

Current law may not provide for adequate protection of our data or technology. In addition, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of proprietary rights in internet-related businesses are uncertain and evolving, and changes in these standards may adversely impact the viability or value of our proprietary rights. Some license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer, and disclosure of our technology, or certain aspects of our technology, or our data may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Further, the laws of some countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights in some foreign countries may be inadequate. To the extent we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying and use of our data or technology, or certain aspects of our data or technology, may increase. Further, competitors, foreign governments, foreign government-backed actors, criminals, or other third parties may gain unauthorized access to our data and technology. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.

 

To protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights, and we may or may not be able to detect infringement by our customers or third parties. Litigation has been and may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights. Such litigation could be costly, time consuming, and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management’s attention and resources, could delay further sales or the implementation of our products and services, impair the functionality of our products and services, delay introductions of new features, integrations, and capabilities, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies, or injure our reputation. In addition, we may be required to license additional technology from third parties to develop and market new features, integrations, and capabilities, and we cannot be certain that we could license that technology on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and our inability to license this technology could harm our ability to compete.

 

We may in the future be sued by third parties for various claims including alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violation of proprietary intellectual property rights.

 

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to operate without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the patents and other proprietary intellectual property rights of third parties. This is generally referred to as having the “freedom to operate.” Because we have only conducted routine searches related to third party patent filings and publications and have not conducted an in-depth freedom to operate search, which is time consuming and costly, we may not be aware of issued patents that a third party might assert are infringed by our current products and services, which could materially impair our ability to commercialize our current or any future products and services. Even if we diligently search third-party intellectual property for potential infringement by our current or any future products and services, we may not successfully find intellectual property that our current or any future products and services may infringe. If we are unable to secure and maintain the freedom to operate, third parties could preclude us from commercializing our current or future products and services. There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our market, and litigation, based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property, is frequent in internet-based industries. We may receive communications from third parties, including practicing entities and non-practicing entities, claiming that we has infringed their intellectual property rights.

 

 

In addition, we may be sued by third parties for breach of contract, defamation, negligence, unfair competition, or patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation, or claims based on other theories, which may or may not be brought without merit. We could also be subject to claims based upon the content that is accessible from our website and other outlets through links to other websites or information on our website or other outlets supplied by third parties or claims that our alleged collection of information from third-party sites without a license violates certain federal or state laws or website terms of use. We could also be subject to claims that the collection or provision of certain information breached laws or regulations relating to privacy or data protection. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property claims, interference proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings, both in the United States and internationally, involve complex legal and factual questions. As a result, such proceedings are lengthy, costly and time-consuming, and their outcome is highly uncertain. We may become involved in protracted and expensive litigation in order to determine the enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others, or to determine whether we have the freedom to operate with respect to the intellectual property rights of others.

 

If we are found to infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights, we could be required to obtain a license from such third-party to continue developing and marketing our current and any future products or services. We may also elect to enter into such a license to settle pending or threatened litigation. However, we may not be able to obtain any required license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if we were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies licensed to us and could require us to pay significant royalties and other fees. We could be forced, including by court order, to cease commercializing the infringing products or services. In addition, we could be found liable for monetary damages, which may be significant. If we are found to have willfully infringed a third-party patent, we could be required to pay treble damages and attorneys’ fees. A finding of infringement could prevent us from commercializing our planned products or services in commercially important jurisdictions, or force us to cease some of our business operations, which could harm our business.

 

Even if we are successful in defending against intellectual property claims, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to such claims may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities.

 

Furthermore, our agreements with some of our customers, suppliers or other entities with whom we do business may require us to defend or indemnify these parties to the extent they become involved in infringement claims, including the types of claims described above. We could also voluntarily agree to defend or indemnify third parties in instances where we are not obligated to do so if we determine it would be beneficial to our business relationships. If any of these claims succeed or settle, we may be forced to pay damages or settlement payments on behalf of our customers, suppliers or other entities, or may be required to obtain licenses. If we cannot obtain all necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our customers may be forced to stop using our products or services. If we are required or agree to defend or indemnify third parties in connection with any infringement claims, we could incur significant costs and expenses that could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.

 

Additionally, there are potential issues around possible ownership rights in personal data, which is subject to evolving regulatory oversight. As a result of any claims against us regarding suspected infringement, our technologies may be subject to injunction, we may be required to pay damages, or we may have to seek a license to continue certain practices (which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all), all of which may significantly increase our operating expenses or may require us to restrict our business activities and limit our ability to deliver our products and services and/or certain features, integrations, and capabilities of our products and services. As a result, we may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense and/or cause it to alter our products or services, which could negatively affect our business. Further, many of our subscription agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, so any alleged infringement by us resulting in claims against such customers would increase our liability.

 

Our exposure to risks associated with various claims, including the use of intellectual property, may increase due to acquisitions of other companies. For example, we may have a lower level of visibility into the development process with respect to intellectual property or the care taken to safeguard against infringement risks with respect to the acquired company or technology. In addition, third parties may make infringement and similar or related claims after we have acquired technology that had not been asserted prior to such acquisition.

 

 

We have entered into certain licensing agreements and other strategic relationships with third parties. These agreements and relationships may not continue and we may not be successful in entering into other similar agreements and relationships. If we fail to maintain our current licensing agreements or establish new relationships, it could result in loss of revenue and harm our business and financial condition or inability for us to use the intellectual property licensed to us by the applicable third party.

 

We have licensed certain components of our technologies from third parties and rely upon such licenses, in part, for the successful development and commercialization of our products and services. The success of certain of our products and services may depend on maintaining successful relationships with our third-party license partners. If such license agreements were to terminate prematurely or if we breach the terms of any licenses or otherwise fails to maintain such licenses, we may lose the ability to offer certain products and services that use such licenses. If there are no active statements of work, counterparties may have the right to terminate such license agreements for its convenience. In addition, we may need to obtain licenses to additional technologies in the future in order to keep our products and services competitive. If we fail to license or otherwise acquire and maintain necessary technologies, we may not be able to develop new products and services necessary to remain competitive.

 

Our risk management processes and procedures may not be effective.

 

We have not formally adopted comprehensive risk management processes and procedures. We are subject to liquidity risk, strategic risk, operational risk, cybersecurity risk, and reputational risk. Even if we establish processes and procedures to monitor or control such risks, those procedures may not be effective.

 

Risk is inherent in our business, and therefore, despite our efforts to manage risk, there can be no assurance that we will not sustain unexpected losses. We could incur substantial losses and our business operations could be disrupted to the extent our business model, operational processes, control functions, technological capabilities, risk analyses, and business/product knowledge do not adequately identify and manage potential risks associated with our strategic initiatives. There also may be risks that exist, or that develop in the future, that we have not appropriately anticipated, identified or mitigated, including when processes are changed or new products and services are introduced. If our risk management framework does not effectively identify and control its risks, we could suffer unexpected losses or be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We depend on third parties for data, information and other services, and our ability to serve our customers could be adversely impacted if such third parties fail to fulfill their obligations, if we are unable to effectively manage and minimize errors, failures, interruptions or delays caused by third parties or if our arrangements with them are terminated and suitable replacements cannot be found on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

Interruptions or delays in services from third parties, including data center hosting facilities, internet infrastructure, cloud computing platform providers, and other hardware and software vendors, or our inability to adequately plan for and manage service interruptions or infrastructure capacity requirements, could impair the delivery of our services and harm its business.

 

We currently serve our customers through the use of third-party hosting facilities and cloud computing platform providers. Damage to, or failure of, these systems, or systems upon which they depend such as internet infrastructure, could cause interruptions in our services. Such interruptions may cause customers to terminate their agreements, and adversely affect our customers and our ability to attract new customers, all of which would reduce our revenue. Our business would also be harmed if our customers and potential customers believe our services are unreliable.

 

We do not control the operation of third-party facilities, and they may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, and similar events. They may also be subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism, and similar misconduct, as well as local administrative actions, changes to legal or permitting requirements, and litigation to stop, limit, or delay operation. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice, or other unanticipated problems at these facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in our services.

 

These hardware, software, data, and cloud computing systems may not continue to be available at reasonable prices, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of these hardware, software, or cloud computing systems could significantly increase our expenses and otherwise result in delays in the provisioning of our services until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained through purchase or license, and integrated into our services.

 

 

Technical problems or disruptions affecting customers access to our services, or the software, internal applications, databases, and network systems underlying our services, could damage our reputation and brands and lead to reduced demand for our products and services, lower revenues, and increased costs.

 

Our business, brand, reputation, and ability to attract and retain users and customers depend upon the satisfactory performance, reliability, and availability of our products and services, which in turn depend upon the availability of the internet and our service providers. Interruptions in these systems, whether due to system failures, computer viruses, software errors, physical or electronic break-ins, or malicious hacks or attacks on our systems (such as denial of service attacks), could affect the security and availability of our products and services on its websites and prevent or inhibit the ability of users to access our products and services. In addition, the software, internal applications, and systems underlying our products and services are complex and may not be error-free. We may encounter technical problems when it attempts to enhance its products, services and systems. Any inefficiencies, errors, or technical problems with our systems could reduce the quality of our products and services or interfere with our customers’ use of our products and services, which could reduce demand, lower our revenues, and increase our costs.

 

Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, security breaches, computer viruses, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, acts of war, electronic and physical break-ins, earthquakes, and similar events. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could result in damage to or failure of our systems. These risks may be heightened for operations at facilities outside of our direct control.

 

Acts of war or terrorism may seriously harm our business.

 

Acts of war, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, or acts of terrorism may cause disruption to the U.S. economy and cause economic changes that we cannot anticipate.

 

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure

 

We depend on key personnel.

 

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain key personnel including, but not limited to, Jacob Fernane, our President and Chairman of our board of directors, and Marc McNeill, our Chief Executive Officer, both of whom would be difficult to replace. If any of our key personnel were to cease employment with us, our operating results could suffer. Further, the process of attracting and retaining suitable replacements for key personnel whose services we may lose would result in transition costs and would divert the attention of other members of our senior management from our existing operations. The loss of services from key personnel or a limitation in their availability could materially and adversely impact our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets. We have not obtained and do not expect to obtain key man life insurance that would provide us with proceeds in the event of death or disability of any of our key personnel.

 

We may not be able to successfully operate our business.

 

We have only been conducting operations since 2020. We cannot assure you that our past experience will be sufficient to enable us to operate our business successfully or implement our operating policies and business strategies as described in this Offering Circular. Furthermore, we may not be able to generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay our operating expenses or service our indebtedness. You should not rely upon the past performance of our management team as past performance may not be indicative of our future results.

 

Our executive officers and directors may exert control over us.

 

Our officers and board members presently beneficially own and control 60% of our voting power and control, and will continue to control us even if the Offering is completed. Therefore, our officers and directors control all matters which require shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of corporate transactions, such as a sale or change of control transaction of the Company. This concentration of control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control over us, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common stock.

 

 

Our corporate organizational documents and provisions of state law to which we are subject contain certain provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, make more difficult, or prevent an attempted acquisition that you may favor or an attempted replacement of our board of directors or management.

 

Our governing documents have anti-takeover effects and may delay, discourage, or prevent an attempted acquisition or change of control or a replacement of our incumbent board of directors or management. Our governing documents include provisions that:

 

 

empower our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue our preferred stock, the terms of which, including voting power, are to be set by our board of directors;

     
 

eliminate cumulative voting in elections of directors;

     
 

permit our board of directors to alter, amend, or repeal our Bylaws or to adopt new Bylaws;

     
 

prior to going public, require the request of holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at a meeting to call a special shareholders’ meeting and after going public;

     
 

require shareholders that wish to bring business before annual meetings of shareholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of shareholders, to provide timely notice of their intent in writing; and

     
 

enable our board of directors to increase, between annual meetings, the number of persons serving as directors and to fill the vacancies created as a result of the increase by a majority vote of the directors present at a meeting of directors.

 

In addition, certain provisions of Wyoming law, including a provision which restricts certain business combinations between a Wyoming corporation and certain affiliated shareholders, may delay, discourage, or prevent an attempted acquisition or change in control.

 

We may change our operational policies and business and growth strategies without stockholder consent which may subject us to different and more significant risks in the future.

 

Our board of directors determines our operational policies and business and growth strategies. Our board of directors may make changes to, or approve transactions that deviate from, those policies, guidelines, and strategies without a vote of, or notice to, our shareholders. This could result in us conducting operational matters, making investments, or pursuing different business or growth strategies than those contemplated in this Offering Circular. Under any of these circumstances, we may expose ourselves to different and more significant risks in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We are an emerging growth company and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common stock may be less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, a requirement to present only two years of audited financial statements, an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure about executive compensation arrangements pursuant to the rules applicable to smaller reporting companies, and no requirement to seek non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. We have elected to adopt these reduced disclosure requirements. We could be an emerging growth company until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this Offering, although a variety of circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period and, as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. In choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period, we may later decide otherwise (i.e., “opt in” by complying with the financial accounting standard effective dates applicable to non-emerging growth companies), so long as it complies with the requirements in Sections 107(b)(2) and (3) of the JOBS Act, which is irrevocable.

 

 

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of our taking advantage of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of our choices, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Changes in accounting rules, assumptions, and/or judgments could materially and adversely affect us.

 

Accounting rules and interpretations for certain aspects of our operations are highly complex and involve significant assumptions and judgment. These complexities could lead to a delay in the preparation and dissemination of our financial statements. Furthermore, changes in accounting rules and interpretations or in our accounting assumptions and/or judgments, such as asset impairments, could significantly impact our financial statements. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements. Any of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Any joint venture investments that we make could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on co-ventures financial conditions, and disputes between us and our co-ventures.

 

We may co-invest in the future with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities, acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of our business. In this event, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the acquisition and/or development, and our investment may be illiquid due to our lack of control. Investments in partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-ventures might become bankrupt, fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, make poor business decisions, or block or delay necessary decisions. Partners or co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the partner or co-venturer would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. Disputes between us and partners or co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party partners or co-venturers.

 

We have inadequate capital and need additional financing to accomplish our business and strategic plans. The terms of subsequent financings, if any, may adversely impact your investment.

 

We have very limited funds, and such funds are not adequate to develop our current business plan. Our ultimate success may depend on our ability to raise additional capital. In the absence of additional financing or significant revenues and profits, we will have to approach our business plan from a much different and much more restricted direction, attempting to secure additional funding sources to fund our growth, borrowing money from lenders or elsewhere, or to take other actions to attempt to provide funding.

 

We intend to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financing in the future. Your rights and the value of your investment in our common stock could be reduced by the dilution caused by future equity issuances. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. As we are permitted to issue preferred stock pursuant to the terms of our Articles of Incorporation, preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock would be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms possibly less favorable to us and thereby adversely impact your investment.

 

Access to financing sources may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, especially in light of current market conditions, which could adversely affect our ability to maximize our returns.

 

In the event we need to seek third-party sources of financing, we will depend, in part, on:

 

 

general market conditions;

     
 

the market’s perception of our growth potential;

     
 

our current and expected future earnings;

     
 

our cash flow; and

     
 

the market price per share of our common stock.

 

 

Recently, domestic financial markets have experienced unusual volatility, uncertainty, and a tightening of liquidity in both the investment grade debt and equity capital markets. Credit spreads for major sources of capital widened significantly during the U.S. credit crisis as investors demanded a higher risk premium. Given the current volatility and weakness in the capital and credit markets, potential lenders may be unwilling or unable to provide us with financing that is attractive to us or may charge us prohibitively high fees in order to obtain financing. Consequently, there is greater uncertainty regarding our ability to access the credit market in order to attract financing on reasonable terms. Investment returns on our assets and our ability to make acquisitions could be adversely affected by our inability to secure additional financing on reasonable terms, if at all.

 

Depending on market conditions at the relevant time, we may have to rely more heavily on additional equity financings or on less efficient forms of debt financing that require a larger portion of our cash flow from operations, thereby reducing funds available for our operations, future business opportunities, and other purposes. We may not have access to such equity or debt capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all.

 

Our future financing arrangements likely will contain restrictive covenants relating to our operations.

 

The financing arrangements we enter into in the future likely will contain covenants (financial and otherwise) affecting our ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments, reduce liquidity below certain levels, make distributions to our shareholders, and otherwise affect our operating policies. The restrictions contained in such financing arrangements could also limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions, meet capital needs, make acquisitions, or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock

 

This is a highly speculative investment.

 

There is no guaranteed return on this investment. Our business is speculative and there is no assurance that we will satisfy any of our business goals. Because an investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk, no assurance can be given that you will realize any return on your investment, or that you will not lose your entire investment altogether.

 

We have discretionary authority over the use of proceeds.

 

We plan to use the net proceeds from this Offering for the purposes set forth under “Use of Proceeds.” However, we reserve the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently contemplated which we deem to be in our best interests in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, we will have discretion with respect to the use of the proceeds of this or any offering and may apply the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree. Investors must depend upon our management’s judgment as to the use of proceeds. If we fail to apply these funds effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. Investors will not participate in these decisions and must evaluate the consequent risk.

 

There is currently no public market for shares of our common stock, a trading market for our common stock may never develop following this Offering, and our common stock prices may be volatile and could decline substantially following this Offering.

 

There is currently no public market for the shares of our common stock. We expect to make our common stock available for secondary trading on the tZERO ATS, subject to tZERO ATS, LLC’s customary due diligence. Even if we do get our common stock available for trading on the tZERO ATS, an active trading market for the shares of our common stock may never develop or if one develops, it may not be sustained following this Offering. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the following:

 

 

the likelihood that an active trading market for shares of our common stock will develop or be sustained;

     
 

the liquidity of any such market;

     
 

the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares of common stock; or

     
 

the price that our shareholders may obtain for their common stock.

 

 

If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not maintained, the market price of our common stock may decline, and you may not be able to sell your shares. Even if an active trading market develops for our common stock subsequent to this Offering, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates, and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common stock.

 

Some of the factors that could negatively affect or result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock include:

 

 

actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

     
 

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

     
 

adverse market reaction to the level of our indebtedness;

     
 

additions or departures of key personnel;

     
 

actions by shareholders;

     
 

speculation in the press or investment community;

     
 

general market, economic, and political conditions, including an economic slowdown or dislocation in the global credit markets;

     
 

our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;

     
 

changes in accounting principles; and

     
 

passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or the fintech industry.

 

The Offering price per share of our common stock offered under this Offering Circular may not accurately reflect the value of your investment.

 

Prior to and following this Offering, there has been and will not be any market for our common stock. The Offering price per share of our common stock offered by this Offering Circular was arbitrarily determined by our management. Factors considered in determining the price of our common stock include:

 

 

the history and prospects of companies whose principal business is in fintech or is similar to us;

     
 

prior offerings of those companies;

     
 

our capital structure;

     
 

an assessment of our management and its experience; and

     
 

other factors we deemed relevant.

 

The Offering price may not accurately reflect the value of our common stock and may not be realized upon any subsequent disposition of the shares.

 

If you purchase common stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate dilution.

 

The Offering price of our common stock is higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding upon the completion of this Offering. Accordingly, if you purchase common stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate dilution of approximately $4.72 in the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock, assuming that we sell the Maximum Offering. This means that investors that purchase shares of our common stock in this Offering will pay a price per share that exceeds the per share net tangible book value of our assets.

 

 

We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.

 

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. The determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any financing instruments, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant in its discretion. Accordingly, you may need to sell your shares of our common stock to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them, or at all for an indefinite period of time, except as permitted under the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction. There is no public market for our common stock and you may not be able to sell your common stock at all.

 

We have broad discretion to use the proceeds from this Offering, and our investment of those proceeds may not yield a favorable return.

 

Our management has broad discretion to use the proceeds from this Offering in ways with which you may not agree. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns. This could harm our business and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Future sales of our common stock, other securities convertible into our common stock, or preferred stock could cause the market value of our common stock to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.

 

Our board of directors is authorized, without your approval, to cause us to issue additional shares of our common stock or to raise capital through the creation and issuance of preferred stock, other debt securities convertible into common stock, options, warrants and other rights, on terms and for consideration as our board of directors in its sole discretion may determine. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or of preferred stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the value of our common stock.

 

Future offerings of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy liquidation, and future offerings of equity securities that may be senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt securities or additional offerings of equity securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing shareholders or reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. Our preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on dividend payments or both that could limit our ability to pay dividends or make liquidating distributions to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control. As a result, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings, and purchasers of our common stock in this Offering bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting their ownership interest in us.

 

Negative publicity may affect our business performance and could affect our stock price.

 

Unfavorable media related to our industry, company, brand, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance, or prospects may affect our stock price and the performance of our business, regardless of its accuracy or inaccuracy. Our success in maintaining, extending, and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary on media outlets, such as blogs, websites, or newsletters, could hurt operating results, as consumers might avoid websites that receive bad press or negative reviews. Negative publicity may result in a decrease in operating results that could lead to a decline in the price of our common stock.

 

We use estimates, opinions, and assumptions that may be speculative.

 

No representation or warranty can be given that the estimates, opinions, or assumptions made herein will prove to be accurate. Any such estimates, opinions, or assumptions should be considered speculative and are qualified in their entirety by the information and risks disclosed in this Offering Circular. The assumptions and facts upon which any estimates or opinions herein are based are subject to variations that may arise as future events occur. There is no assurance that actual events will correspond with the assumptions. Potential investors are advised to consult with their tax and business advisors concerning the validity and reasonableness of the factual, accounting, and tax assumptions. Neither our officers and directors nor any other person or entity makes any representation or warranty as to our potential future profitability.

 

 

Because our Offering does not have a minimum Offering amount, we may not raise enough funds to continue operations.

 

Because our Offering lacks a minimum Offering amount, no minimum amount of funds are assured, and we may only receive proceeds sufficient to fund operations for a short amount of time. We may then have to cease operations, and investors could then lose their entire investment.

 

Our common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules which may make it more difficult to sell our common stock.

 

The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined, less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities may be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, such as institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and receive the purchaser’s written agreement of the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also affect the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholders ability to buy and sell our common stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares of common stock.

 

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from quotation on the tZERO ATS, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

Rule 15c2-11, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prohibits broker-dealers from publishing quotations for an issuer’s security when current issuer information is not publicly available, subject to certain exceptions. Subject to any applicable exceptions, securities trading on the tZERO ATS must generally have current information be available for tZERO ATS to be able to publish quotations for our securities. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of tZERO ATS to facilitate the trading of our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market unless we make current information regarding our company available as required. We have not yet done so, and we may not ever be able to do so.

 

Our common stock will likely be traded on the tZERO ATS, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

 

Our common stock will likely be traded on the tZERO ATS. The tZERO ATS is a significantly more limited trading system than the national securities exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange, or the Nasdaq stock exchange and over-the-counter trading systems, and there are lower financial or qualitative standards that a company must meet to have its stock quoted on the tZERO ATS. The quotation and trading of our common stock on the tZERO ATS will result in a less liquid market and contribute to volatility. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Due to lower trading volumes, there may be a lower likelihood of your orders on the tZERO ATS being executed or filled.

 

Technology on which tZERO ATS relies for its operations may not function properly.

 

The technology on which the tZERO ATS relies may not function properly because of internal problems or as a result of cyber-attacks or external security breaches. Any such malfunction may adversely affect the ability of our investors to execute trades of our common stock on tZERO ATS. Moreover, since trading on the tZERO ATS has been limited, the tZERO ATS order matching system may not function properly in cases of increased trading volume. If the technology used by tZERO ATS does not work as anticipated, trading of our common stock could be limited or even suspended.

 

 

Even if a market develops for our shares, our shares may be thinly traded with wide share price fluctuations, low share prices and minimal liquidity.

 

If an established market for our shares develops, the share price may be volatile with wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including: potential investors’ anticipated feeling regarding our results of operations; increased competition; and our ability or inability to generate future revenues. In addition, our share price may be affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Our share price might be affected by general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates, commodity prices, or international currency fluctuations. Additionally, stocks traded on the tZERO ATS are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, and not followed by analysts. These factors, which are not under our control, may have a material effect on our share price.

 

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Various statements contained in this Offering Circular, including those that express a belief, expectation, or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income, and capital spending. Our forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. The forward-looking statements in this Offering Circular speak only as of the date of this Offering Circular, and we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other risks, contingencies, and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. The following factors, among others, may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements:

 

 

changes in assumptions used to make industry forecasts;

 

continued volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets;

 

our future operating results and financial condition;

 

our business operations;

 

changes in our business and investment strategy;

 

availability, terms, and deployment of capital;

 

changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, governmental laws and regulations;

 

the degree and nature of our competition;

 

general volatility of the capital markets and the lack of a public market for shares of our common stock;

 

availability of qualified personnel and our ability to retain our key personnel;

 

our financial performance;

 

our expectations regarding the period during which we qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act;

 

our expected use of the proceeds from this Offering; and

 

additional factors discussed under the sections captioned “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Our Business.” 

 

These forward-looking statements reflect our management’s beliefs and views with respect to future events and are based on estimates and assumptions as of the date of this Offering Circular and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We discuss many of these risks in greater detail under “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

You should read this Offering Circular and the documents that we reference in this Offering Circular and have filed as exhibits to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this Offering Circular relate only to events as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Offering Circular or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

excludes 10,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance in connection with awards under our 2022 Stock Option Plan (pursuant to which we have issued to our employees, officers, and directors options exercisable for 1,408,500 shares of common stock as of the date of this Offering Circular); and

     
 

excludes 2,885,000 shares of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock which is convertible to up to 3,548,550 shares of common stock.

 

(See “Description of Capital Stock.”)

 

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the Offering price per share of our common stock in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of common stock upon completion of this Offering.

 

Net tangible book value per common share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 was $(341,300) or $(0.03) per share of common stock, based upon 10,414,000 shares of common stock.

 

Investors participating in this Offering will incur immediate, substantial dilution. After giving effect to the sale of shares of our common stock by us at the Offering price of $6.00 per share, and after deducting the estimated Offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 would have been approximately $1,800,000, or approximately $0.13 per share of common stock.

 

This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.31 per share to existing common shareholders, and an immediate dilution of $4.72 per share to investors participating in this Offering.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. The determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any financing instruments, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant in its sole discretion. Accordingly, you may need to sell your shares of our common stock to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them, if at all. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock—We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.”)

Overview

 

Invest Inc. was formed on October 7, 2020 as a Wyoming corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”). We have developed a platform named “Invest.inc,” an investment research platform that provides retail investors access to personalized institutional-level market information and tools to make well-researched, educated investment decisions for their portfolios. In addition to serving retail investors, we provide public companies with an enterprise solution for media buying, allowing issuers to utilize a robust advertising platform to reach their target audiences.

 

The vision of Invest.inc is to provide our users with an innovative machine-learning (“ML”) platform that is intended to curate useful, personalized, and functional investment news recommendations. The platform is being designed to provide investors with personalized, high-quality investment content through an easy-to-use interface. The system is planned to use supervised and unsupervised ML algorithms that draw from user behavior data, content analysis of investment news articles, and other external factors such as market trends and economic indicators.

 

Currently, to the best of our knowledge, there is no other machine-learning-first-designed investment platform like the one we have planned. We believe that our proposed sleek design and utility could generate a high level of engagement from the investment sector, while also drawing in a highly sought-after user base for advertisers. Thus, companies seeking brand awareness will be willing to pay to advertise on our platform.

 

Operating Results

 

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022, Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue increased to $23,880 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was due to the commencement of revenue generating activities of selling media through the platform.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses include selling, general, and administrative expenses, and research and development costs including software development, facility costs, leases, office expenses, and personnel expenses.

 

Our selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $758,788 to $1,053,098 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $294,310 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was from expanding development expenses to build our platform, web site, and mobile apps and increased headcount and facility spend.

 

Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations increased $750,832 to $(1,048,211) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $(297,379) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in operating loss was due to increased development expenses for building the platform, website, and mobile apps.

 

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $18,993 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $3,069 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss increased from $750,832 to $1,048,211 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $297,379 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in operating loss was due to growth in operating expense from increased platform development activity.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, generation of sales revenue, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $1,048,211; used cash in operations of $617,763; and had a stockholders’ deficit of $341,300 as of September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued without a further influx of equity capital, growth of sales, or issuance of debt, or a combination of these capital inflows.

 

In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our December 31, 2021, financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

At September 30, 2022, we had cash on hand of $211,633. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received $653,603 from the sale of shares of preferred stock and common stock. Our ability to continue as a going concern is and has been dependent on our ability to execute our strategy, raise additional funds, and increase revenue from sales. No assurance can be given that the funds received from this Offering will be adequate to achieve our goals and, if not, that any future financing will be successful. Even if we can obtain additional financing, it may place restrictions on management. Substantial dilution for stockholders may occur from future equity or debt financing.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received $200,000 from an advance from a related party.

 

Operating Results

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2021, Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020

 

Refer to our Statements of Operations in our financial statements.

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased to $15,131 during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to zero during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net sales of $15,131 was primarily due to selling of media inventory.

 

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development costs.

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $667,547 to $692,930 during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $25,383 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was from increased development expenses to build out our platform, web site, and mobile apps and expenses to raise capital.

 

Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations increased $652,416 to $677,799 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $25,383 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in operating loss was due to development expenses to build out our platform, web site, and mobile apps and the ramping up of employee costs.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased to $16,832 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to zero for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in interest expense was due to an advance from related parties.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss increased $669,248 to $694,631 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $25,383 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net loss was due to increased employment costs, increased development costs to build our platform, website, and mobile apps, and increased interest expense from debt incurred during the year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, generation of sales revenue, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $694,631; used cash in operations of $551,301; and had a stockholders’ deficit of $704,582 as of December 31, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued without a further influx of equity capital, growth of sales, issuance of debt, or a combination of these capital inflows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our December 31, 2021 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

From January 27, 2022 through July 1, 2022, we conducted a private offering pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Act. We sold 1,416,410 shares of our Series A Preferred stock at $0.20 per share and raised $273,060 of gross proceeds.

 

From July 25, 2022 through November 22, 2022, we conducted a private offering pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Act. We sold 2,511,500 shares of our Common Stock at $1.00 per share and raised $2,511,4530 of gross proceeds.

 

At December 31, 2021, we had cash on hand of $175,793. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received $630,217 from advanced capital from related parties. Our ability to continue as a going concern is and has been dependent on our ability to execute our strategy, raise additional funds, and expand revenue from sales. Management is currently seeking additional operating funds, primarily through the issuance of equity securities to expand marketing and overall business development. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be successful or the funding will be adequate to achieve our goals. Even if we can obtain additional financing, it may place restrictions on management. Substantial dilution for stockholders may occur from the structuring of either equity or debt financing.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $630,217, which included $630,217 from advancements of capital from related parties. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was zero.

 

Outlook and Recent Trends

 

Retail-centric investment platforms with a news and information feed powered by AI are becoming increasingly popular as a way for individuals to invest in the stock market. These platforms use machine-learning algorithms to analyze market data and news articles to provide users with personalized investment recommendations.

 

We intend to use natural language processing (NLP) to analyze news articles and social media posts for sentiment and relevance to specific companies or industries. This allows the platform to identify potential trends and opportunities before they become mainstream news.

 

Also, the use of predictive analytics to forecast market movements and identify potential risks. This can help users make more informed investment decisions and potentially improve their returns.

 

Additionally, these platforms often incorporate robo-advisory features, which use algorithms to automatically manage and rebalance a user's portfolio. This can be particularly useful for novice investors who may not have the knowledge or experience to make investment decisions on their own.

 

We believe developing our platform to take advantage of these trends may allow us attract strategic partners and users to increase revenue and potentially operating cash flow over the next several years.

OUR BUSINESS

 

Where Fintech Meets Adtech:

A Machine-Learning-First Investment Research Platform and Ad Recommendation Engine System

 

Overview

 

Invest Inc. was formed on October 7, 2020 as a Wyoming corporation. We have developed a platform named “Invest.inc.”

 

Our vision is to provide our users with an innovative machine-learning (“ML”) platform that is intended to curate useful, personalized, and functional investment news recommendations. The platform is being designed to provide investors with personalized, high-quality investment content through an easy-to-use interface. The system is planned to use supervised and unsupervised ML algorithms that draw from user behavior data, content analysis of investment news articles, and other external factors such as market trends and economic indicators.

 

Prior experiment results show that recommendation systems can increase site visit lengths by 2.5 times and result in 35% more clicks7, increasing traffic, engagement, and revenue. We plan to have a powerful and ML-based recommendation engine developed to help investors make the most informed decisions about their investments, while alleviating them from the time-consuming search for information relevant to them.

 

Our Business

 

The business of Invest.inc is to be a progressive ML-driven investment research platform designed to provide retail investors with personalized institutional-level market information and tools to make educated decisions.

 

Our team with decades of experience in finance and machine learning began building Invest.inc in 2020 and completed the beta version of the product at the end of 2022.

 

Our Mission

 

Our mission is to:

 

 

1.

Level the playing field for all investors through actionable, premium financial market information that is typically only accessible to institutional investors; and

 

 

2.

Maximize advertisers’ return on investment through the utilization of ML to optimize targeting, providing public companies with an opportunity to reach larger audiences.

 

Our Industry

 

The financial services sector has experienced a rapid digital transformation in recent years, and we believe that fintech, in particular, is poised for significant growth.

 

Fintech opportunities in retail investing have expanded as the space has attracted an influx of new participants who have a growing influence on global markets. Roughly six million Americans downloaded trading apps in January 2021 alone, with retail brokerages seeing daily volumes for equity and options trades reach record highs.8 One structure analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence estimated that retail investors accounted for an average of 23% of all U.S. equity trading in 2021, more than doubling the share they held in 2019.9

 

As interest in retail investing has skyrocketed, interest from venture capital (“VC”) firms in fintech has accelerated with a flurry of deal activity. In the first quarter of 2022 alone, fintech companies raised more than $29.3 billion across more than 1,200 deals.10 The median pre-money valuation for VC-backed, late-stage fintech companies increased 44.5% to $257.5 million in Q1 2022,11 while early-stage median pre-money valuations increased by 50% to $45 million.12

Given this backdrop, we aim to capitalize on emerging trends in the equities market by becoming a leader in a rapidly growing sector that needs a functional, AI-native platform for high-quality, personalized investment content and ads. Our product provides institutional-level financial information, allowing all investors to be as informed in the decision-making process as possible.

 

What We Do

 

The Invest.inc platform, which is live in beta on our website provides the following:

 

 

1.

Real-time market data, historical financial statements, detailed analyst consensus estimates, valuation metrics, S3 short data, Commission filings, and transcripts

 

2.

Portfolio monitoring, research tools, and trackers

 

3.

Aggregated streaming news feed from all major financial publications

 

4.

Educational resources in conjunction with social features

 

5.

Paper Trading Tournaments - Competitive Equity Trading

 

We anticipate that we will be on the Apple App Store and Google Play in the near future. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so on our anticipated timeline, if at all.

 

Our Strengths

 

Invest.inc is intended to provide a robust, versatile platform that employs cutting-edge ML to develop alternative revenue models that support providing users with institutional-level investment resources at no charge.

 

However, Invest.inc is not solely for investors. We plan to also give public companies an advertising and media-buying platform to reach their target audiences. Leveraging investor user-behavior, we plan to provide advertisers and public issuers access to AI-driven ad technology through a self-serve advertising portal. Advertisers should be able to track, target, and increase brand awareness through ad analytics.

 

To create a seamless user experience (“UX”) for both B2C and B2B customers, we plan to create subtle, non-intrusive ad options (i.e., click-to-expand instead of banner or pop-up ads.)

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

Our dual-track B2C and B2B growth strategy is a competitive advantage.

 

On the B2B side, we plan to leverage our experience with media buying and lean on our relationships to establish partnerships with public issuers.

 

On the B2C side, we plan to build a hybrid of supervised and unsupervised ML algorithms to analyze data from user behavior, content analysis of investment news articles, and other external factors such as market trends and economic indicators. These processes are being designed to create a personalized experience for each user by recommending investment-related news that suits each user’s tastes and interests. The system should encompass the intelligence to detect changes in the market and suggest articles that are highly relevant to the current economic situation.

 

Our goal is to provide a UX upgrade compared to current investment news websites, which, we believe, overwhelm readers with irrelevant ads and irrelevant content. By generating personalized content more effectively and providing relevant ads to users based on their interests, we anticipate that we will see increased engagement levels and ad revenue compared to our peers.

 

Target Personas

 

There are two target users for our product: investors and advertisers.

 

Phase 1 (Investors):

 

We plan to first target investors who want investment content, specifically Level 2 data which is a third-party paid subscription product which provides more detail than Level 1 data regarding bid and offer prices of securities, which we intend to provide free as a loss leader, along with curated articles and stocks to research.

 

 

Retail investors cover a wide range of income and experience levels. The newer entrants trend young-of those that began investing in 2020, 66% were under the age of 45 and are more optimistic about the stock market than those who entered before the pandemic’s retail investing boom.13 Importantly, 94% of new entrants want access to information and tools to do their own research14 - which is where we come in.

 

Phase 2 (Advertisers):

 

To monetize the platform, our plan is to focus on advertisers, including micro-, small-, and mid-cap companies wanting to increase interest in their company.

 

These companies usually have investor relations (“IR”) budgets. In 2021, the average IR budget for mega-cap companies was $715,000.15 For small-cap companies, it was $193,000.16 We plan to sell our ad products directly through a self-serve advertising portal that utilizes various user metrics to justify ad spending. Further exploration of integrations with Tradedesk are also underway.

 

RECOMMENDATION ENGINE

 

Recommendation Engine Benefits

 

We plan for our system to have two recommendation engines: one that recommends news articles to users and another that suggests ads.

 

News article recommendations save time that users would otherwise spend sifting through disparate information, while target advertising helps them find new companies or investment opportunities that are customized to their interests.

 

Traditional investment websites tend to flood users with information. Our hypothesis is that: (1) knowing where to invest is difficult when there is so much information readily available; and (2) a recommendation engine solves this issue.

 

The ad recommendation engine will allow advertisers to track their spending and make necessary adjustments to reach the users most likely to have an interest in their company. We plan to share user metrics with the advertisers to show them the value of their ad spends.

 

Prior Experiment Results

 

Effective recommendation systems increase site session duration, which increases ad revenue. One study showed that an intelligent recommendation system could more than double site visit lengths.17

 

Another study found that a recommendation system can result in 38% more clicks.18 In fact, the majority of clicks on content websites come from recommendation engines.19 They are an ideal tool for any content-based business.

 

Pre-ML Design

 

About 15 years ago, when the iPhone first came out, it increased the need for mobile-first design. Before then, developers designed applications for desktop computers-smartphones were an afterthought. Mobile-first thinking drove the success of companies like Uber and Airbnb. We believe that Invest.inc’s potential success will be driven by ML-first thinking.

 

ML-First Design vs. ML-Last Design

 

Most investment websites have a shotgun approach that includes a broad range of information, overwhelming the reader with irrelevant details. As a result, visitors do not know what they are looking for or what information is relevant to them. This common practice results in lost opportunities for engagement and conversions, along with a cluttered design that is not mobile-friendly, at a time when 80% of content is consumed on mobile devices.

User Effort

 

Traditional websites require users to take action to receive relevant content, such as creating a watchlist or following companies.

 

An example of how this approach compares to an ML-first approach can be seen by comparing YouTube to TikTok. TikTok was initially built with ML in mind, whereas ML was an afterthought for YouTube. With TikTok, users do not have to subscribe to a channel or follow someone to receive curated content, rather, the platform automatically determines their preferences from one’s usage. TikTok dedicates most of its app to the video content itself, with very little wasted space. Its short video format loops automatically, keeping users engaged without requiring them to press the “like” button. Personalizing occurs based on which videos a user has watched or re-watched. The ease of UX plays a significant role in TikTok’s superior advantage in the social media space.

 

Stitch Fix was one of the first e-commerce companies to use ML-first design. Stitch Fix sends a box of clothes they think a customer would like without the shopper selecting each item. They are so confident in their recommendation skills that they pay for shipping. Their customers can return items if they do not like them, but because they have a good prediction engine, chances are high that the customer will keep whatever items Stitch Fix sends to them. Stitch Fix has a good prediction engine, in part, because their customers have completed a profile survey. Since Invest.inc intends to utilize ML, that will eliminate the need for our users to provide this information to accurately assess our customers interests.

 

With good recommendation engines, we are confident in our approach. We believe that there is no need to overwhelm the user and instead, we can focus on articles that each user should find informative. This allows more visual space for each article via a simple grid format, whereby each box on the grid contains a summarization thumbnail of a story generated by AI.

 

Rather than using artificial crutches such as likes, comments, and bookmarking, we plan to rely entirely on accurate ML. We are designing our user experience and AI capabilities simultaneously. Our designers and ML experts are working together to create clean, optimized designs that require less engineering. By doing so, we believe we can create a novel ML-first fintech product that our competitors do not have.

 

Summarization

 

We also plan to make our service more valuable by using ML to summarize articles. By putting an article through an ML model such as GPT-3, we can generate key points automatically, thus saving users from having to read the whole article.

 

GPT-3 is a large language model by OpenAI. It is trained on a dataset of billions of words and can generate text similar to what humans write. Companies have used GPT-3 to generate SQL queries directly from written sentences, create interactive chatbots’ vocabulary, and generate questions from depositions.

 

In our case, we plan to give GPT-3 the title of an article and its context as inputs, where it then should generate critical takeaways. What would take a real person many hours to complete, GPT-3 is able to do it in seconds.

 

Feeding ML Models

 

Data powers ML algorithms. Logging every user interaction helps the algorithm learn. It requires storage space but provides added value over the long term.

 

A good feedback mechanism allows the ML process to use natural browsing behavior as a signal. While mouse clicks are often used, mouse hovers can be even more insightful due to the signal frequency and reduction in required action from the user.

 

AD RECOMMENDATIONS

 

Some news sites serve users ads that are below the fold and require the user to scroll down to see them. Using a mouse-click signal for those ads wouldn’t serve a recommendation engine or advertisers.

 

As an alternative, we plan to only charge advertisers when customers view the ad. ML-driven recommendation engines are designed to make ads more personalized and relevant. Being transparent and efficient with a customer’s ad spend not only benefits the customer, but also benefits the accuracy of the recommendation engine.

Social vs. ML-based Curation

 

Initially, social media sites curated news based on who a user was following. In other words, your “friends” were curated for you. This method pre-dates advances in ML. Today, we can use ML algorithms to curate news. Recommendation engines work regardless of whether a user has a social network, making it easier for new sites that have yet to develop a robust user base.

 

Many platforms are scrambling to catch up to ML-first platforms like TikTok. However, since they have not embedded AI into their product, we believe that these designs are flawed, partly because incentives are more aligned with following other users and liking their content. We plan to incorporate this ML technology into every aspect of our product from inception.

 

SOURCING CONTENT

 

We anticipate that Invest.inc will need the broadest set of investment news sources in order to be successful. We believe that a good starting point will be Google News, which has an application programming interface (“API”). However, we are considering many others, such as NewsAPI and Perigon. As our service grows, we plan to source more directly (e.g., Reddit) to reduce the latency and deliver investors relevant news faster. Harnessing Google searches could also be helpful but may not be as timely.

 

In addition to APIs, Invest.inc can use web scraping techniques to provide users with news that breaks on video content sites like YouTube and TikTok. Many services contain transcripts that recommendation engines can use to rank whether the content is relevant to a user. This follows consumer trends: people are increasingly turning to videos as a source of news.

 

News Recommendation Engines

 

Our system has two types of recommendation systems: one for news stories and another for ads. The news side is planned to have two engines: generic and stock specific. We plan for the default homepage to consist of generic features, personalized based on what the user has done in the past. The homepage is designed to generate based on the custom ranking of articles in an infinite scrolling grid of article thumbnails. For the stock-specific subpages, we are designing it to have a similar grid and scroll.

 

METRICS

 

We plan to use many key performance indicator metrics (“KPIs”) to measure success. A traditional metric to consider for news articles is the click-through rate. However, we want to know how likely readers are to click on the piece. Therefore, we must consider whether the article was on the page and whether the user saw it.

 

Another important metric is the normalized amount of time spent on the article. If a piece is shorter, a user will probably spend less time on it. Normalizing the amount of time spent on each article will give us a better understanding of users’ interest in it. For ML to be accurate, we need data points that reflect genuine interest, like whether or not the user scrolls to the bottom of the page. We plan to use infinite scroll to determine the amount of time spent reading, removing effort on the user’s part. To this end, a tight UX and ML loop is essential for success.

 

The phrase “garbage in, garbage out” means that if you put bad inputs into a system, you will get bad outputs. TikTok created good inputs via video looping. If a video loops multiple times, it’s a strong signal of interest. Because of its long video format, YouTube cannot use loops as a signal. Unlike TikTok and Invest.inc, YouTube simply was not designed with ML in mind.

News Recommendation Engine Architecture

 

There are two parts to the news recommendation architecture. The first part involves collecting data. Most recommendation engines use three sources of data: the user, the interactions between the user, and the recommendation (e.g., an article). All of this data trains recommendation models.

 

chart001.jpg

 

The second part involves using the model. In this instance, there are two models. The first is for homepage articles. The second pertains to stocks.

 

We plan to retrain this model periodically to keep it accurate and in line with each individual’s preferences.

 

User Data

 

This section contains user-specific data that the model uses to personalize content. The general strategy is to require the user to provide a minimal amount of explicit input. To sign up, users will need to provide an email address. We plan to use the email provider name as one of our signals. For instance, we plan for the website to log user locations, which should reveal important data subsets that can be expanded on. Even something as small as the use of different email providers tends to be linked with varying age demographics.

Records timestamp with time zone

IP locations

 

Records JSON of IP addresses and resolved locations and devices

Total time on site

We plan to use the user’s IP address to determine their internet service provider. We also plan to inspect the user’s request headers to know the user’s device type. By gathering this data, we should be able to build an intuitive initial profile of each user- the backbone of a reliable recommendation engine.

 

37

 

User Interaction Data

 

User interaction data captures the behavior of users as they navigate content. This is a crucial part of building an effective recommendation engine. We plan to capture all user interactions with our website and app, such as clicks, page views, and time spent on each page/element. We believe that all of this data should contribute to building a profile of tailored content. Furthermore, the stock symbols that the users select and the duration spent reviewing each ticker could also indicate interest. We understand that close coordination between the front-end and ML engineers will be critical to ensure proper data capture.

Besides capturing traditional actions like sharing content, we also plan to capture less obvious actions, such as mouse hovers. The analog for mobile would be haptic touch. If a user presses firmly, it could indicate deep interest.

 

We also want to capture which search terms people use and how long they spend on each page as further evidence of interest. Therefore, our ML is being designed to pay special attention to search results shown but not clicked on.

 

Logging users’ every move on a site produces a large amount of data. We plan to modify data storage accordingly as we understand which signals are reliable and strong.

 

We plan to build an accurate model for recommending personalized content by integrating these data sources. We plan to use ML to develop and refine models based on user data and interaction, providing great insight into our users’ interests.

 

Article Item Data

 

The third class of data recommendation engines we plan to use is article item data, comprised of all of the data and metadata about a particular article, such as author, title, body, keywords, tags, etc. We plan to use this information to build models that understand what content is valuable and relevant for a given user. For example, if users enjoy reading one article written by a particular author, they will likely enjoy other pieces from the same author. To ensure users can search by their desired filters, we plan to have a separate table for news sources and another one for authors.

We plan to also incorporate an estimated read time, similar to what Medium provides, so readers are informed of the time commitment before they start reading.

 

We also plan to utilize article abstracts to offer a more advanced type of derived data. This could be generated automatically via GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 is an ML autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text). AWS Comprehend (Amazon Comprehend is a natural-language processing (“NLP”) service that uses machine learning to uncover valuable insights and connections in text) would be used to classify articles into certain categories automatically. Furthermore, we plan to use automatic entity detection to list all entities in the article. This kind of derived feature is essential for refining recommendation engines.

MODEL ROADMAP

 

Phase 1:

 

In the beginning, there is relatively low data. To handle the cold start, we plan to base recommendations on what is most popular.

 

Phase 2:

 

AWS Personalize is the first real recommendation engine we plan to implement. This generic recommendation engine requires the least amount of data, making it ideal for this development phase.

 

Phase 3:

 

The bigger the model, the more data it needs. As Invest.inc acquires more users, usage, and, therefore, data, we anticipate that we may be able to start building more powerful models from scratch like the highly accurate Fastformer, based on a class of neural networks known as Transformers. The scalability and accuracy of Transformers is behind their growing popularity for NLP tasks.20 Fastformer is based on the most favored transformer model, BERT, which Google developed in 2018.21

 

This type of model can be used with limited data and still achieve impressive results. The Fastformer employs the concept of additive attention to bolster efficiency as opposed to the traditional Transformer model. Fastformer also has a GitHub repository which allows rapid implementation. We plan to use the MIND dataset to pre-train Fastformer and then fine-tune it using our proprietary data.

The strength of an ML model rests on the volume of parameters in the same way a car’s power is based on its horsepower. Neural network models can scale infinitely. With Transformer, there’s no limit to the parameters we can include, outside of computational cost. Constantly scaling our models creates a giant moat around our business model, preventing our competitors from gaining access.

 

Ad Recommendation Engine Plan

 

We strive to ensure that our ads enhance the user experience. We plan to insert ads in two different places: article insertions and stock insertions.

 

 

1.

Article Ads:

 

We plan to insert ads into the grid of article thumbnails from the news recommendation engine, with the ad recommendation engine determining which article ads will be displayed, the number of ads, and their placement.

 

 

2.

Stock Ads:

 

We plan to insert ads into the search engine, so when people search for a stock, they will also find other recommended stocks tailored to their interests. For example, if a user is comparing Tesla to Rivian, another electric vehicle company can buy an ad to be inserted with those search terms.

39

 

We plan to take a similar approach with the watchlist, placing non-select stock ads with the selected watchlist stocks. These stock ads should get users interested in an alternative investment.

 

We plan to use an algorithm similar to Google’s AdRank or Facebook’s Auction-based ad-delivery system for both types of ads to bring relevant content to users and real results to advertisers.

 

Ad Recommendation Engine

 

There are fewer open-source codes for ad recommendations than news recommendations, mainly because Google dominates much of the ad market and only seldomly releases its code. We anticipate that more custom ML work will be needed to create our ideal ad recommendation engine.

 

Architecturally, we plan to have a setup similar to our news recommendation engine where we use the same user data as before, with an additional table for stocks. We anticipate that there will be four new tables for interactions:

 

 

1.

Stock searches

 

 

2.

Stock comparisons

 

 

3.

Level 2 data requests

 

 

4.

Stock Watchlist

chart002.jpg

 

These four interaction models can be used to create recommendation models for each area, which we plan to retrain periodically. As time goes on, the number of models should increase for optimal performance.

 

We understand that there will be a delicate balance between good content and monetization for our recommendation engine. For stock ads, we plan to use the proven ad auction business model used by Google. Advertisers will purchase ads against the stocks of their competitors. The bid amount and the relevancy to each user will determine placement and frequency.

Ad Models

 

As with our content recommendation engine, we plan to have a three-phase transition between different ad models. Initially, we anticipate that we will simply use the highest bid. Then, we plan to move to Personalize until we have enough data to create a custom Transformer-based model. We will likely only be able to launch the more complex model if or when it outperforms the simpler model.

 

STAFFING

 

Our goal is to have low staffing costs relative to the power of our product. The base product, except the ML, has already been built and beta launched by our existing team. Our business plan is to leverage as much open source as possible and, whenever possible, opt to buy rather than build, which can reduce the technical risk and the time to market.

 

We anticipate that our team will need three types of engineers: data, ML, and front end.

 

The full-time data engineer’s primary responsibility will be to log all of the data collected and processed by Invest.inc. They should execute preliminary work, such as cleaning, organizing, and categorizing the data. We anticipate that we will need another ad hire as we get into the ads phase and plan to add at least one more engineer when we scale. As Invest.inc enters the Ads Phase, we anticipate that there will be a need to hire another person (or engineer). As Invest.inc scales, we anticipate that there will be a further need for a minimum of one more engineer.

 

In the ML department, we initially need one full-time engineer, and eventually we plan to hire another for ads. Once we hit an asymptote, we anticipate that our hiring needs will increase as we expend more effort to achieve more accuracy.

 

As scale increases, so will our hiring needs.

 

CONCLUSION

 

To our knowledge, currently, there is no other machine-learning-first-designed investment platform like the one we have planned. We believe that our proposed sleek design and utility will generate engagement from the investment sector, while also drawing in a highly sought-after user base for advertisers. Thus, companies seeking brand awareness may be willing to pay to advertise on our platform.

 

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

 

We are currently in our Beta launch. This means that the demo version of our platform has already been built on our website and is accessible on a desktop. We are currently working on our application to be approved for iOs and Android. We continue to develop our website and are updating our UX constantly based on user feedback and will continue to do so.

 

 

The website is free for all base users. Currently, we are not offering access to full Level 2 data entitlement for all users. Currently, we will not be able to handle the costs and infrastructure associated with providing Level 2 data access to all users. Therefore, for users that would like to have full Level 2 data entitlement, we plan to offer it to them for a flat fee, such fee being at cost (i.e., we will not upcharge them for this access). Eventually, as our platform, user base, and capital increase, we may be able to provide this access to all users free of charge. However, there is no guarantee when or if that will occur.

 

NEXT STEPS:

 

 

1.

Complete our Beta launch = Demo our already built website and web, desktop, iOS, and Android apps.

 

 

2.

Integrate the ML for data collection.

 

 

3.

Build the self-serve ad portal and ad types.

 

 

4.

Move through the phases described in this section to open our recommendation system.

MANAGEMENT

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

Our board of directors consists of five directors. Though as a controlled company, we are not required to have a majority of our board of directors be independent, we currently have three independent directors. Our directors will serve for one-year terms and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. There will be no cumulative voting in the election of directors. Consequently, at each annual meeting, the successors to each of our directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at that meeting.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

 

Board Composition

 

The number of members of our board of directors will be determined from time-to-time by action of our board of directors. Our board of directors currently consists of five persons. After the completion of this Offering, we expect our board of directors to remain the same, until the next election of directors by our shareholders.

 

Our board of directors believes its members collectively have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills to effectively oversee our management, including a high degree of personal and professional integrity, an ability to exercise sound business judgment on a broad range of issues, sufficient experience and background to have an appreciation of the issues facing us, a willingness to devote the necessary time to board duties, a commitment to representing our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders, and a dedication to enhancing shareholder value.

 

There were six board meetings held in 2022. All other material issues were approved by the unanimous written consent of the board of directors.

 

Director Independence

 

We are a “controlled company” under the NYSE American rules and are not required to have a majority of our board of directors consist of “independent directors,” as defined under the NYSE American rules.

 

We use NYSE American’s definition of “independence” to make this determination. NYSE American provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship with which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

 

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company, or an immediate family member has been an executive officer of the company;

 

the director has received, or has an immediate family who is an executive officer of the company has received, any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation received for board or board committee service, pension plan payments, or deferred compensation for prior service not contingent on continued service);

 

the director or an immediate family member of the director is, or has been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of an entity where any of the present executive officer’s of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

 

the director or an immediate family member of the director is a current executive officer of an organization that has made to or received from the company payments for which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues or $1 million (subject to certain exceptions, including charitable contributions).

 

Under such definitions, our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and will review the independence of any new directors based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment, and affiliations, in order to make a determination of independence. Our board of directors has determined that there are three independent director on our board of directors.

 

 

Role of our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

 

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our board of directors administers this oversight function directly, or will have committees, such as the audit committee, and at such time as the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee are formed, each will then support the board of directors by addressing risks specific to its respective areas of oversight. In particular, our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management takes to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our compensation committee will assess and monitor whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. Our nominating and corporate governance committee will provide oversight with respect to corporate governance and ethical conduct and will monitor the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether such guidelines are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct.

 

Committees of our Board of Directors

 

We have two board committees—an audit committee and a compensation committee. Both committees are fully comprised of independent directors.

 

Our audit committee is composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as such qualification is interpreted by our board of directors in their business judgment.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, our audit committee is composed of Antonio Silveti-Falls, Giorgi Khazaradze, and Janio Quadros Neto. Our board of directors has affirmatively determined that all three members of the audit committee meet the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on an Audit Committee under Rule 10A-3 and NYSE American rules.

 

We will establish a written charter for our audit committee, in which we will set forth the duties of the audit committee to, among other matters, oversee (i) our financial reporting, auditing and internal control activities; (ii) the integrity and audits of our financial statements; (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iv) the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors; (v) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors; and (vi) our overall risk exposure and management. Duties of the audit committee shall also include:

 

 

annually review and assess the adequacy of the audit committee charter and the performance of the audit committee;

     
 

be responsible for the appointment, retention and termination of our independent auditors and determine the compensation of our independent auditors;

     
 

review with the independent auditors the plans and results of the audit engagement;

     
 

evaluate the qualifications, performance, and independence of our independent auditors;

     
 

have sole authority to approve in advance all audit and non-audit services by our independent auditors, the scope and terms thereof, and the fees therefor;

     
 

review the adequacy of our internal accounting controls; and

     
 

meet at least quarterly with our executive officers, internal audit staff, and our independent auditors in separate executive sessions.

 

Following this Offering, a copy of the audit committee charter will be available on our website at www.invest.inc.

 

 

Compensation Committee

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, our compensation committee is comprised of Antonio Silveti-Falls and Giorgi Khazaradze, both of whom are independent directors.

 

We will establish a written charter for our compensation committee which sets forth the duties of the compensation committee, which include assessing and monitoring whether any of our compensation policies and programs have the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

 

Following this Offering, a copy of the compensation committee charter will be available on our website at www.invest.inc.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

We will adopt a written code of business conduct and ethics that will apply to our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions and agents and representatives, including consultants. Following this Offering, a copy of the code of business conduct and ethics will be available on our website at www.invest.inc. We intend to disclose future amendments to such code, or any waivers of its requirements, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our website identified above. The inclusion of our website address in this Offering Circular does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this Offering Circular.

(1)

Mr. Fernane was granted options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock, 1/12th of which vest every month for 12 months, subject to Mr. Fernane continuing to be an employee of the Company. The options have an exercise price of $1.00.

 

(2)

Mr. McNeil was granted options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, 1/12th of which vests every month for 12 months, subject to Mr. McNeil continuing to be an employee of the Company. The options have an exercise price of $1.00.

 

(3)

We believe that the primary goal of executive compensation is to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders in a way that allows us to attract and retain the best executive talent. We plan on adopting compensation policies with respect to, among other things, setting base salaries, awarding bonuses, and making future grants of equity awards to our executive officers. Once established, we plan for our compensation committee to design a compensation program that rewards, among other things, favorable stockholder returns, stock appreciation, our competitive position within the homebuilding industry and each executive officer’s long-term career contributions to us.

 

The compensation incentives designed to further these goals take the form of annual cash compensation and equity awards, as well as long-term cash and/or equity incentives measured by company and/or individual performance targets to be established by our compensation committee. In addition, our compensation committee may determine to make equity-based awards to new executive officers in order to attract talented professionals to serve us.

 

Annual Base Salary. Base salary is designed to compensate our named executive officers at a fixed level of compensation that serves as a retention tool throughout the executive’s career. In determining base salaries, our compensation committee will consider each executive’s role and responsibility, unique skills, future potential with us, salary levels for similar positions in our market and internal pay equity.

 

Option Plan. Certain executives were issued options pursuant to the 2022 Stock Option Plan. We plan to offer option awards to executives, in the discretion of the board of directors, considering the executive’s role and other compensation.

 

PTO Plan. Executives may take PTO at any time, at their own reasonable discretion.

Director Compensation

 

None of our directors received any compensation for their service on our board of directors in 2021. We plan to reimburse all directors for their reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors, including without limitation, travel expenses in connection with their attendance in-person at board and committee meetings. We anticipate issuing stock options under our 2022 Stock Option Plan (defined below) to current and new directors to compensate them for their service.

 

All of our current board members were appointed on November 15, 2022 and were each granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock.

 

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On April 7, 2022, we adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2022 Stock Option Plan”) which provides for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to our employees and the employees of any subsidiary corporation, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options to non-employees, including directors and other service providers.

 

Authorized shares. A total of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options issued from the 2022 Stock Option Plan.

 

Plan administration. Our board of directors administers our 2022 Stock Option Plan.

 

Stock options. Stock options may be granted under our 2022 Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of options granted under our 2022 Stock Option Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed ten years, except that with respect to any participant who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term must not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares, or other property acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director, or consultant, he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of our 2022 Stock Option Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options.

 

 

Options Granted. To date, pursuant to our 2022 Stock Option Plan, we have issued to our employees, officers, and directors 1,408,500 options to purchase shares of our common stock.

 

Non-transferability of awards. Unless the administrator provides otherwise, our 2022 Stock Option Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.

 

Certain adjustments. In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under our 2022 Stock Option Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under our 2022 Stock Option Plan and/or the number, class and price of shares covered by each outstanding award and the numerical share limits set forth in our 2022 Stock Option Plan. In the event of our proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

 

Merger or change in control. Our 2022 Stock Option Plan provides that in the event of a merger or change in control, as defined under the 2022 Stock Option Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, except that if a successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary does not assume or substitute an equivalent award for any outstanding award, then such award will fully vest, all restrictions on the shares subject to such award will lapse, all performance goals or other vesting criteria applicable to the shares subject to such award will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all of the shares subject to such award will become fully exercisable, if applicable, for a specified period prior to the transaction. The award will then terminate upon the expiration of the specified period of time.

 

Amendment, termination. The administrator has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the 2022 Stock Option Plan provided such action will not impair the existing rights of any participant. Our 2022 Stock Option Plan will automatically terminate in 2032, unless we terminate it sooner.

 

 

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received a total of $630,217 in cash loans from SLS Group, LLC (“SLS”). In connection with the loans, we issued three promissory notes (the “SLS Notes”) to SLS. The first note (“SLS Note 1”) in the principal amount of $100,000 was dated July 15, 2021; the second note (“SLS Note 2”) in the principal amount of $100,000 was dated August 26, 2021; and the third note in the amount of $430,217 (“SLS Note 3”) was dated October 18, 2021. Each of the SLS Notes bears a one-time interest charge in the amount of $500 and is payable on demand. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the outstanding balance of all of the aforementioned SLS Notes was converted into 2,885,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. Jacob Fernane, our President and a Director, previously consulted with SLS from time-to-time as an independent contractor.

 

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

 

The above transactions were approved by our board of directors. All future related party transactions will be voted upon by the disinterested board of directors. The audit committee of the board of directors is responsible for evaluating each related party transaction and making a recommendation to the disinterested members of the board of directors as to whether the transaction at issue is fair, reasonable and within our policy and whether it should be ratified and approved. The audit committee, in making its recommendation, will consider various factors, including the benefit of the transaction to us, the terms of the transaction and whether they are at arm’s-length and in the ordinary course of our business, the direct or indirect nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction, the size and expected term of the transaction and other facts and circumstances that bear on the materiality of the related party transaction under applicable law and listing standards. The audit committee will review, at least annually, a summary of our transactions with our directors and officers and with firms that employ our directors, as well as any other related person transactions.

 

 

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

 

Immediately prior to the completion of this Offering, there are 14,782,450 shares of our common stock outstanding as of the date of this Offering Circular. The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock immediately prior to and immediately after the completion of this Offering (assuming that we raise the Maximum Offering) by:

 

 

each of our directors;

 

each of our named executive officers;

 

all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and

 

each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock.

 

The percentage ownership information after the Offering assumes the issuance of shares of common stock in this Offering.

 

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the Commission. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable on or before the date which is 60 days after the date of this Offering Circular. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options and warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

General

 

Invest Inc. was formed as a Wyoming company in October 2020. Our authorized capital stock consists of 60,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001, 5,000,000 of which have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Immediately prior to this Offering, there are 14,782,450 shares of our common stock outstanding. Upon the completion of this Offering, assuming we raise the Maximum Offering amount, as a result of the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock in this Offering, there will be 17,782,450 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, and 2,885,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per each share on all matters to be voted upon by the common shareholders, and there are no cumulative voting rights. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock we may designate and issue in the future, holders of our common stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which shareholders generally are entitled to vote. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock we may designate and issue in the future, holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If there is a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock we may designate and issue in the future, holders of our common stock would be entitled to ratable distribution of our assets remaining after the payment in full of our liabilities.

 

Under the terms of our governing documents, the holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All currently outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The rights of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock. Unless required by law or any stock exchange, the authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by our shareholders. Our board of directors is authorized to divide the preferred stock into series and, with respect to each series, to fix and determine the designation, terms, preferences, limitations, and relative rights thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions and the number of shares constituting the series. Without shareholder approval, we could issue preferred stock that could impede or discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our shareholders may believe is in their best interests or in which they may receive a premium for their common stock over the market price of the common stock.

 

We have authorized 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 5,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, there are 2,885,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Voting Rights. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights.

 

Conversion Rights. A holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time to convert their shares into common stock at the Series A Conversion Price, which is initially $0.20, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

 

Stock Options

 

We have enacted a 2022 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2022 Stock Option Plan”) whereby the total number of shares of common stock which may be purchased through exercise of options granted under the 2022 Stock Option Plan (the “Options”) shall not exceed 10,000,000 shares. Currently, we have 1,408,500 Options outstanding, all of which have an exercise price of $1.00.

 

Certain Provisions of Wyoming Law and of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

The following summary of certain provisions of the Wyoming Business Corporations Act (referred to as the WBCA) and of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the WBCA and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. (See Where You Can Find More Information for how to obtain copies of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.)

 

Our Board of Directors

 

Our Bylaws provide that the number of our directors will be fixed from time to time by the vote of the majority of directors in office, or by the vote of holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power at any annual meeting, or any special meeting called for such purpose. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that, subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of holders of any series of preferred stock and the rights of shareholders to fill any vacancy, except for a vacancy created by the removal of a director, the vacancies that results from newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, and any vacancies in the board of directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause may be filed by a majority of the remaining directors, or, if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum, by (1) the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office; (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office at a meeting held; or (3) a sole remaining director. A vacancy in the Board of Directors created by the removal of a director may only be filled by the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by the unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote.

 

Pursuant to our Bylaws, each member of our board of directors who is elected at our annual meeting of our shareholders, and each director who is elected in the interim to fill vacancies and newly created directorships, will hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Pursuant to our Bylaws, directors will be elected by a majority of votes cast by the shares present in person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders and entitled to vote thereon, a quorum being present at such meeting.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Our Bylaws provide that, the entire Board of Directors, or an individual director, may be removed from office and the remaining members of the Board of directors may elect a successor director to fill such vacancy for the remaining unexpired term of the director so removed. However, no director may be removed when the votes cast against removal would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote, were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of the director’s most recent election were then being elected; and when by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation the holders of the shares of any class or series voting as a class or series are entitled to elect one or more directors, any director so elected may be removed only by the applicable vote of the holders of the shares of that class or series.

 

Meetings of Shareholders

 

Pursuant to our Bylaws, an annual meeting of our shareholders for the purpose of the election of directors and the transaction of any other business will be held on a date and at the time and place, if any, determined by our board of directors. Each of our directors is elected by our shareholders to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. In addition, our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, the President, or by one or more Shareholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at any such meeting may call a special meeting of our shareholders for any purpose, but business transacted at any special meeting of our shareholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of such meeting. In addition, we will be required to hold a special election meeting under the circumstances described above under “Removal of Directors.”

 

 

Articles of Incorporation Amendments

 

Unless a higher vote is required by its governing documents, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote is required to amend a Wyoming corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. However, amendments which make changes relating to the capital stock by increasing or decreasing the par value or the aggregate number of authorized shares of a class, or by altering or changing the powers, preferences or special rights of a class so as to affect them adversely, also require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, even though such class would not otherwise have voting rights.

 

Bylaw Amendments

 

Our board of directors has the power to amend, modify or repeal our Bylaws or adopt any new provision authorized by the laws of the State of Wyoming in force at such time, provided, however, that the Shareholders entitled to vote with respect thereto may alter, amend or repeal Bylaws made by the Board of Directors, except that the Board of Directors shall have no power to change the quorum for meetings of Shareholders or of the Board of Directors or to change any provisions of the Bylaws with respect to the removal of directors or the filling of vacancies in the Board resulting from the removal by the Shareholders.

 

Amendment by Shareholders.

 

All Bylaws of the Company shall be subject to alteration or repeal, and new Bylaws may be made by the affirmative vote of Shareholders holding of record in the aggregate at least a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors at any annual or special meeting of Shareholders, provided that the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting shall have summarized or set forth in full therein, the proposed amendment.

 

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

 

Our Bylaws provide that, with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders, nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by our shareholders at an annual meeting of shareholders may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (3) by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record both at the time such stockholder gives us the requisite notice of such nomination or business and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws, including a requirement to provide certain information about the stockholder and its affiliates and the nominee or business proposal, as applicable.

 

With respect to special meetings of shareholders, only the business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to our board of directors may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected only (1) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (2) provided that our board of directors has determined that a purpose of the special meeting is to elect directors, by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record both at the time such stockholder gives us the requisite notice of such nomination or business and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws, including a requirement to provide certain information about the stockholder and its affiliates and the nominee.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

The Wyoming Business Corporation Law contains a provision governing “Acquisition of Controlling Interest.” This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Wyoming corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires “control shares” whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: (1) 20 to 33 1/3%, (2) 33 1/3 to 50%, or (3) more than 50%. A “control share acquisition” is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act. The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of “Issuing Corporations” as defined by the act. An Issuing Corporation is a Wyoming corporation, which; (1) has 200 or more stockholders, with at least 100 of such stockholders being both stockholders of record and residents of Wyoming; and (2) does business in Wyoming directly or through an affiliated corporation.

 

 

At this time, we do not have 100 stockholders of record resident of Wyoming. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of the Company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Wyoming law contains provisions that may delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control of us that might involve a premium paid for shares of our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Certain of these provisions are described below.

 

Selected provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Our Articles of Incorporation and/or Bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that:

 

 

authorize our board of directors, without further action by the shareholders, to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and with respect to each series, to fix the number of shares constituting that series, the powers, rights, and preferences of the shares of that series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of that series;

 

require that actions to be taken by our shareholders may be taken only at an annual or special meeting of our shareholders;

 

specify that special meetings of our shareholders can be called only by our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, our president, or shareholders of 10% of the outstanding voting shares of capital stock prior to going public;

 

provide that our Bylaws may be amended by our board of directors without stockholder approval;

 

provide that no director may be removed when the votes cast against removal would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast;

 

provide that vacancies on our board of directors or newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of our directors may be filled only by a vote of a majority of directors then in office, or, if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum, by (1) the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office, (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, or (3) a sole remaining director;

 

provide that, subject to the express rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, any amendment, modification, or repeal of, or the adoption of any new or additional provision, inconsistent with our Articles of Incorporation provisions relating to the removal of directors and the vote of our shareholders required to amend our Bylaws requires the affirmative vote of the holders of majority of the voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

 

provide that the shareholders may amend, modify, or repeal our Bylaws, or adopt new or additional provisions of our Bylaws, only with the affirmative vote of majority of the voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote generally; and

 

establish advance notice procedures for shareholders to submit nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors and other proposals to be brought before a shareholders meeting.

 

Business Combinations under Wyoming Law. The Wyoming “Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute” may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of the Company. This statute prevents an “interested stockholder” and a resident domestic Wyoming corporation from entering into a “combination,” unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines “combination” to include any merger or consolidation with an “interested stockholder,” or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an “interested stockholder” having; (1) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; (2) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or (3) representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

 

An “interested stockholder” means the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting shares of a resident domestic corporation, or an affiliate or associate thereof. A corporation affected by the statute may not engage in a “combination” within three years after the interested stockholder acquires its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. If approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (1) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which he became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; (2) the market value per common share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher; or (3) if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock. The effect of Wyoming’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the Company from doing so if they cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

 

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our Articles of Incorporation eliminate the personal liability of our directors for damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors or officers involving any act or omission of any such directors or officers, provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the stockholders of the Company shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of officer of the Company for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Wyoming law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Wyoming law.

 

Under Wyoming law, we may indemnify our directors or officers or other persons who were, are or are threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, if we determine that the person:

 

         •         conducted himself or herself in good faith;

 

•         reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as our director or officer, that his or her conduct was in our best interests, and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests; and

 

•         in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

These persons may be indemnified against expenses, including attorney fees, judgments, fines, including excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred, by the person in connection with the proceeding. If the person is found liable to the Company, no indemnification shall be made unless the court in which the action was brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in an amount that the court will establish.

 

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the above provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock will be available for future issuance without your approval. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

We have retained SecureStock Transfer as the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser's annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

 

NOTE: For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the securities.

 

In order to purchase the securities and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to our satisfaction, that he or she is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this Offering.

 

 

Closings

 

If, on the Initial Closing Date, we have sold less than the Maximum Offering, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales (each an “Additional Closing”) until the Termination Date. We will consider various factors in determining the timing of any Additional Closings, including but not limited to the amount of proceeds received at the Initial Closing, any Additional Closings that have already been held, and indications of interest shown by any additional prospective investors.

 

From the date of qualification until the Initial Closing Date, and thereafter pending any Additional Closings on subsequent closing dates (“Additional Closing Dates,” and with the Initial Closing Date, a “Closing Date”) the proceeds from the Offering will be kept in an escrow account. Upon the Initial Closing Date and upon each Additional Closing, if any, the proceeds therefrom will be distributed to us and the associated securities will be issued to the investors therein. If the Initial Closing never occurs, the proceeds from the Offering will be promptly returned to investors, without deduction or interest.

 

Escrow Account

 

tZERO ATS, LLC (or its assignee, “Escrow Agent”), will act as escrow agent for the Offering. Prior to the date the Commission issues a qualification for the sale of the shares of common stock pursuant to this Offering Circular, the escrow agent shall establish a non-interest-bearing account” (the “Escrow Account”). The Escrow Account shall be a segregated deposit account at the bank. The Escrow Account maintained by the escrow agent shall be terminated in whole or in part on the earliest to occur of: (a) the Closing of the Offering, (b) the date which is one year after this Offering being qualified by the Commission, or (c) the date on which this Offering is earlier terminated by us, in our sole discretion. The foregoing sentence describes the escrow period the “Escrow Period.” During the Escrow Period, the parties agree that (i) the Escrow Account and escrowed funds will be held for the benefit of investors, and that (ii) we are not entitled to any funds received into escrow, and that no amount deposited into the Escrow Account shall become our property or any other entity, or be subject to any debts, liens or encumbrances of any kind of any other entity, until we have triggered closing of such funds. In the event the escrow agent does not receive written instructions from us to release funds from the Escrow Account on or prior to termination of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall terminate the escrow and make a full and prompt return of funds so that refunds are made to each investor in the exact amount received from said investor, without deduction, penalty or expense to investor.

 

The Escrow Agent shall process all escrowed amounts for collection through the banking system and shall maintain an accounting of each deposit posted to its ledger, which also sets forth, among other things, each investor’s name and address, the quantity of shares of common stock purchased, and the amount paid.

 

If any Subscription Agreement for the purchase of shares of common stock is rejected by us, in our sole discretion, then the Subscription Agreement and the escrowed amounts for such investor shall be promptly returned to the rejected investor by the Escrow Agent.

CERTAIN MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences to you of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of shares of our common stock offered pursuant to this Offering Circular. This discussion is not a complete analysis of all of the potential United States federal income tax consequences relating thereto, and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, it does not address any estate and gift tax consequences or any tax consequences arising under any state, local or foreign tax laws, or any other United States federal tax laws. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), all as in effect as of the date of this Offering Circular. These authorities may change, possibly retroactively, resulting in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS with respect to the matters discussed below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the shares of our common stock, or that any such contrary position would not be sustained by a court.

 

This discussion is limited to holders who purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to this Offering Circular and who hold the shares of our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may be relevant to holders subject to special rules under the United States federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

 

 

financial institutions, banks, and thrifts;

 

insurance companies;

 

tax-exempt organizations;

 

“S” corporations, partnerships, or other pass-through entities;

 

traders in securities that elect to mark to market;

 

regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;

 

broker-dealers or dealers in securities or currencies;

 

United States expatriates;

 

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

persons holding our stock as a hedge against currency risks or as a position in a straddle; or

 

U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the United States dollar.

 

If a partnership (or other entity taxed as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, upon the activities of the partnership, and upon certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the specific United States federal income tax consequences to them.

 

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the particular United States federal income tax consequences to them of acquiring, owning, and disposing of shares of our common stock, as well as any tax consequences arising under any state, local or foreign tax laws and any other united states federal tax laws.

 

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of shares of our common stock who, for United States federal income tax purposes, is:

 

 

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any state or in the District of Columbia;

 

an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or if the trust has a valid election in place to be treated as a United States person.

 

A “non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is neither a “U.S. holder” nor an entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.

 

 

Taxation of U.S. Holders

 

Distributions on Shares of Our Common Stock. If we make cash or other property distributions on shares of our common stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Subject to certain limitations, these distributions may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of U.S. holders that are corporations. Dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. holders generally will qualify for taxation at special rates as “qualified dividends” if such U.S. holder meets certain holding period and other applicable requirements. The special rate will not, however, apply to dividends received to the extent that the U.S. holder elects to treat dividends as “investment income,” which may be offset by investment expense.

 

Amounts not treated as dividends for United States federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and will first be applied against and reduce a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the shares of our common stock, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and in excess of a U.S. holder’s tax basis in its shares of our common stock will be taxable as capital gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the shares of our common stock and will be treated as described under “—Sales or Other Taxable Dispositions of Shares of Our Common Stock” below.

 

Sale or Other Taxable Dispositions of Shares of Our Common Stock. If a U.S. holder sells or disposes of shares of our common stock, such U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale or other disposition and the U.S. holder’s adjusted basis in the shares of our common stock for United States federal income tax purposes. This gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the shares of our common stock for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Information reporting will generally apply to U.S. holders with respect to payments of dividends on shares of our common stock and to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock. Certain U.S. holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding on payments of dividends on shares of our common stock and certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock unless the beneficial owner of shares of our common stock furnishes the payor or its agent with a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, and certain other information, or otherwise establishes, in the manner prescribed by law, an exemption from backup withholding.

 

U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder’s United States federal income tax liability, which may entitle the U.S. holder to a refund, provided the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS.

 

Medicare Tax. A U.S. person that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to an additional tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. person’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. person’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold. Net investment income generally includes dividends, and net gains from the disposition of common stock, unless such income or gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). A U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust should consult its tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in our common stock.

 

Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

 

Distributions on Shares of Our Common Stock. Distributions that are treated as dividends (see “Taxation of U.S. Holders—Distributions on Shares of Our Common Stock”) generally will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends, or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If we cannot determine at the time a distribution is made whether or not the distribution will exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits (and therefore whether the distribution will be treated as a dividend), we intend to withhold from the distribution at the rate applicable to dividends. A non-U.S. holder may seek a refund from the IRS of any amounts withheld if it is subsequently determined that the distribution was, in fact, in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must furnish to us or our paying agent a valid IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form) certifying such non-U.S. holder’s qualification for the reduced rate. This certification must be provided to us or our paying agent prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated as required by law. Non-U.S. holders that do not timely provide us or our paying agent with the required certification, but that qualify for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

 

 

If a non-U.S. holder holds shares of our common stock in connection with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and dividends paid on the shares of our common stock are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s United States trade or business (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States), the non-U.S. holder will be exempt from United States federal withholding tax. To claim the exemption, the non-U.S. holder must generally furnish to us or our paying agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form).

 

Any dividends paid on shares of our common stock that are effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder’s United States trade or business (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) generally will be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated United States federal income tax rates in much the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder were a resident of the United States. A non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

Distributions that we determine are in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and that are in excess of a non-U.S. holder’s tax basis in its shares of our common stock will be treated as gain from the sale of common stock as described under “—Sales or Other Taxable Dispositions of Shares of Our Common Stock” below.

 

Sales or Other Taxable Dispositions of Shares of Our Common Stock. Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and withholding tax relating to foreign accounts below, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax for gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of common stock unless one of the following conditions is satisfied:

 

 

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained in the United States by such non-U.S. holder). The non-U.S. holder will, unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, be taxed on its net gain derived from the sale or other disposition under regular graduated United States federal income tax rates. Effectively connected gains realized by a corporate non-U.S. holder may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty;

 

in the case of a non-U.S. holder who is an individual and holds the common stock as a capital asset, the holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and certain other conditions exist. Such gain will be subject to United States federal income tax at a flat 30% rate (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), but may be offset by United States source capital losses (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States); or

 

our common stock constitutes a USRPI within the meaning FIRPTA by reason of our status as a USRPHC for United States federal income tax purposes.

 

With respect to the third bullet point above, because of our holdings of United States real property interests, we believe that we are a USRPHC for United States federal income tax purposes. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our United States real property interests relative to the fair market value of our other trade or business assets and any foreign real property interests, it is possible that we may not remain a USRPHC in the future. As a USRPHC, if a class of our stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such stock will be treated as a USRPI only with respect to a non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively holds more than 5% of such class of stock at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the date of disposition or the holder’s holding period for such stock. We anticipate that our common stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market following this Offering. However, no assurance can be given in this regard and no assurance can be given that our common stock will remain regularly traded in the future. If gain on the sale or other taxable disposition of shares of our common stock were subject to taxation under FIRPTA as a sale of a USRPI, the non-U.S. holder would be subject to regular United States federal income tax with respect to such gain in the same manner as a taxable U.S. holder (subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals). In addition, if the sale or other taxable disposition of shares of our common stock is subject to tax under FIRPTA, the purchaser of the stock would be required to withhold and remit to the IRS 10% of the purchase price unless an exception applies. A non-U.S. holder also will be required to file a United States federal income tax return for any taxable year in which it realizes a gain from the disposition of our common stock that is subject to United States federal income tax.

 

Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the consequences of selling or otherwise disposing of shares of our common stock.

 

 

Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting. We must report annually to each non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock and to the IRS the amount of payments on the shares of our common stock paid to such non-U.S. holder and the amount of any tax withheld with respect to those payments. These information reporting requirements apply even if no withholding was required because the payments were effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a United States trade or business, or withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. This information also may be made available under a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Backup withholding, however, generally will not apply to distribution payments to a non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock provided the non-U.S. holder furnishes to us or our paying agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8ECI, or certain other requirements are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

Additional Withholding Tax Relating to Foreign Accounts. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) provides that a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on certain payments (including dividends as well as gross proceeds from sales of stock giving rise to such dividends) made to a foreign financial institution (as specifically defined in the Code) and certain other foreign entities if such entity fails to satisfy certain new disclosure and reporting rules. FATCA generally requires that (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, the entity identifies and provides information in respect of financial accounts with such entity held (directly or indirectly) by U.S. persons and U.S.-owned foreign entities and (ii) in the case of a foreign non-financial institution, the entity identifies and provides information in respect of substantial U.S. owners of such entity. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (i) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Invest, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Invest, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, statements of stockholders’ deficiency, and statements of cash flows for the period from October 7, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020 and for the one year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 7, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020 and for the one year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has not yet generated any significant revenue, has incurred recurring losses from operations, generated negative cash flows from operating activities and had an accumulated deficit that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans in regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Going Concern

 

As discussed in Note 1, the Company has not yet generated significant revenue, has incurred recurring losses from operations, generated negative cash flows from operating activities and had an accumulated deficit that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses, which are difficult to substantiate.

 

We evaluated the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

1. Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Background and Corporate Structure

 

Invest Inc. (“Invest ”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on October 7, 2020 and is headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Company is in the business of providing retail investors with institutional-level financial information, and providing public issuers a media buying and advertising platform to reach their target audiences.

 

While these financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, adverse conditions could cast doubt upon the validity of this assumption. At December 31, 2021 the Company has a working capital deficit in the amount of $704,582, and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $720,114. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the audited financial statements. In order to meet its corporate and administrative expenses for the coming year, the Company will be required to raise funds through additional financing. Although the Company has been successful in raising funds, there is no certainty that the Company will be successful in the future.

 

If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments might be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported loss and the balance sheet classifications used. These adjustments could be material. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31st.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $175,793 and $96,877 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable considering a combination of factors. In circumstances where it is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to it, the Company records a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due in order to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes reserves for bad debts based on past write-off experience and the length of time the receivables are past due. The Company had $0 in bad debt expense during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts and other accounts, the balances of which at times may be uninsured or exceed federally insured limits. From time to time, some of the Company’s funds are also held by escrow agents; these funds may not be federally insured. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. Total recognized advertising and marketing expenses were $6,750 and $2,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 825 - Financial Instruments, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, none of which is held for trading, approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.

 

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There is no effect on diluted loss per share because there are no common stock equivalents outstanding at December 31, 2021 or 2020.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services ASC 606 requires companies to assess their contracts to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize under the new revenue standard. The model has a five-step approach:

 

1.

Identify the contract with the customer.

 

 

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

 

3.

Determine the total transaction price.

 

 

4.

Allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract.

 

 

5.

Recognize as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

 

The Company provides a media buying and implementation service on behalf of its clients, and is compensated at a fixed percentage of the amount of media purchased. Pursuant to the guidance in ASC 606, the company is considered an agent in these transactions. Revenue is recorded at the time the media purchase occurs. Amounts received from clients are carried as current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet until the media purchase occurs. Customer deposits in the amount of $149,994 and $120,000 were recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses include all other costs which support the Company’s operations but are not included as a cost of sales. These primarily consist of payroll, facility costs such as rent and utilities, selling expenses such as commissions and advertising, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, and other administrative costs including professional fees and costs associated with non-cash stock compensation. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within current and long-term liabilities.

 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company had no long term leases in effect at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We recognize the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options are estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to those other than employees are recognized pursuant to FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. The Company had stock based compensation of $0 and $100 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims brought to such legal counsel’s attention as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021; the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible Preferred Stock. As well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard was effective for us on January 1, 2021, including interim periods within such fiscal year. Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interaction between ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. This guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Issued, Not Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed below.

These shares were valued at their par value of $0.01 and the amount of $50 was charged to stock-based compensation during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

7. Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 consist of the following:

2020

 
                 

Current

  $ -     $ -  

Deferred

    -       -  

Total

  $ -     $ -  

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. The tax effects of the temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s estimated deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

    (5,300

)

Deferred tax assets

  $ -     $ -  

 

The total net operating loss carryforward at December 31, 2021 was approximately $720,000.

 

Deferred income tax assets result primarily from an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance applied against the carryforwards for book purposes. These net operating losses will expire in various years through 2037.

 

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the period from inception to December 31, 2021 consist of the following:

1. Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Background and Corporate Structure

 

Invest Inc. (“Invest ”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on October 7, 2020 and is headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Company is in the business of providing retail investors with institutional-level financial information, and also providing to public issuers a media buying and advertising platform to reach their target audiences.

 

While these financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, adverse conditions could cast doubt upon the validity of this assumption. At September 30, 2022 the Company has a working capital deficit in the amount of $341,300, and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,768,225. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, In order to meet its corporate and administrative expenses for the coming year, the Company will be required to raise funds through additional financing. Although the Company has been successful in raising funds, there is no certainty that the Company will be successful in the future.

 

If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments might be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported loss and the balance sheet classifications used. These adjustments could be material. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31st.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $211,633 and $175,793 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable considering a combination of factors. In circumstances where it is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to it, the Company records a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due in order to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes reserves for bad debts based on past write-off experience and the length of time the receivables are past due. The Company had $0 in bad debt expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts and other accounts, the balances of which at times may be uninsured or exceed federally insured limits. From time to time, some of the Company’s funds are also held by escrow agents; these funds may not be federally insured. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. Total recognized advertising and marketing expenses were $28,500 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 825 - Financial Instruments, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, none of which is held for trading, approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.

 

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There is no effect on diluted loss per share because any such issuances would be anti-dilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services ASC 606 requires companies to assess their contracts to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize under the new revenue standard. The model has a five-step approach:

 

1.

Identify the contract with the customer.

 

 

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

 

3.

Determine the total transaction price.

 

 

4.

Allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract.

 

 

5.

Recognize as revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company provides a media buying and implementation service on behalf of its clients, and is compensated at a fixed percentage of the amount of media purchased. Pursuant to the guidance in ASC 606, the company is considered an agent in these transactions. Revenue is recorded at the time the media purchase occurs. Amounts received from clients are carried as current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet until the media purchase occurs. Customer deposits in the amount of $206,564 and $143,994 were recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses include all other costs which support the Company’s operations but are not included as a cost of sales. These primarily consist of payroll, facility costs such as rent and utilities, selling expenses such as commissions and advertising, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, and other administrative costs including professional fees and costs associated with non-cash stock compensation. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within current and long-term liabilities.

 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has no long term leases in effect at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We recognize the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options are estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to those other than employees are recognized pursuant to FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims brought to such legal counsel’s attention as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021; the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible Preferred Stock as well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard was effective for us on January 1, 2021, including interim periods within such fiscal year. Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interaction between ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. This guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Issued, Not Adopted

 

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed below.

Each of the SLS Notes bears a one-time interest charge in the amount of $500 and is payable on demand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company accrued interest no interest on the SLS Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company charged the amount of $18,993 to paid-in capital representing imputed interest on the SLS Notes; in addition, principal in the amount of $630,217 and accrued interest in the amount of $1,500, along with cash in the amount of $68,283 were converted to 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.

Exhibit 2.2

 

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

FOR

DESIGNATION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

AND

AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES INCREASE

OF

INVEST INC.

 

 

It is hereby certified that:

 

1.    The name of the corporation is Invest Inc. (the “Company”).

 

2.    The Articles of Incorporation of the Company authorize the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of blank check Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value, and expressly vest in the Board of Directors of the Company the authority provided therein to issue any or all of said shares in one or more series and by resolution or resolutions, the designation, number, full or limited voting powers, or the denial of voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics of each series to be issued.

 

3.    The Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in it as aforesaid, has adopted the following resolutions creating a Series A issue of Preferred Stock and an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company and amending Section V of their Articles of Incorporation as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby fixes and determines the designation of the number of shares and the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions relating to the Series A Preferred Stock as follows:

 

3.1    Authorized Shares. The total number of shares which the Company is authorized to issue is 85,000,000, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), and 25,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, having a par value of $0.001 (the “Preferred Stock”).

 

3.2    Designation of Series A Preferred Stock. These Articles of Amendment designate a series of Preferred Stock, designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” and consisting of 5,000,000 shares (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). A statement of the powers, rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon this series of the shares of capital stock and/or the holders thereof is as follows:

 

3.2.1    Voting. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights other than as required by applicable law.

 

3.2.2    Conversion Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock as follows:

 

1

 

(a)    Voluntary Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.2.2, a holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right at such holder’s option, at any time or from time to time, to convert any of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Series A Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) in effect on the Series A Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) upon the terms hereinafter set forth.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and a holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, such holder would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock held by the applicable holder. The express purpose of this provision is to preclude any holder’s ownership of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock from causing such holder to become subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 13 (d) or Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and this provision shall be interpreted according to such express purpose.

 

(b)    Series A Conversion Price. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $0.20 by the Series A Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect on the Series A Conversion Date (as defined below) (the “Conversion Rate”). The Conversion Price shall initially be $0.20 for shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Conversion Price”). The Series A Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection 3.2.2(e) below. No payment or adjustment shall be made for any dividends on the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

(c)    Mechanics of Conversion. A holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion right specified in subsection 3.2.2(a) as to any part thereof by surrendering to the Company or its transfer agent the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert all or a specified portion of the shares represented thereby.

 

Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when delivery of notice of an election to convert and certificates for shares is made under subsection 3.2.2(a), and such date is referred to herein with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock as the “Series A Conversion Date.” Subject to the provisions of subsection 3.2.2(e)(8), as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Company or its transfer agent in the case of conversions pursuant to subsection 3.2.2(c)) the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and any dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock which such holder is entitled to receive, but has not yet received.

 

2

 

Subject to the provisions of subsection 3.2.2(e)(8), the Person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable Series A Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion (in the case of conversion pursuant to subsection 3.2.2(a)), the Company shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered.

 

(d)    Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered by such holder. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall round such fraction to the nearest whole share (such that any fraction equal or greater than one-half shall be rounded up and any fraction less than one-half shall be rounded down) and shall issue such additional share, if any, after such rounding.

 

(e)    Conversion Price Adjustments for the Series A Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(1)    Common Stock Issued at a Price Less than the Series A Conversion Price. If the Company shall issue Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the initial Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then the Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall immediately be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest one thousandth of a cent) determined by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (after giving effect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in effective immediately prior to such issuance) and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance would purchase at such Series A Conversion Price, (B) and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (xx) the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (which includes the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of shares of Additional Stock) and (yy) the number of shares of Additional Stock so issued.

 

(2)    Percentage Protection. In any case to which Sections 3.2.2 (e)(1)(3)(4)(5) and (6) hereof are not applicable, if the Company shall issue or sell Additional Stock after the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, then the Conversion Price shall simultaneously with such issuance or sale be reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock

 

3

 

issuable upon conversion hereof shall be increased so that the percentage of the Company represented by the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be not reduced as a result of such issuance or sale.

 

No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 3.2.2 (b) in connection with the issuance of Additional Stock issued in any of the transactions described in Sections 3.2.2 (e)(3)(4)(5)(6) and (7) hereof for stock dividends, additional stock, combination of stock, capital reorganization or reclassification, or merger or consolidation.

 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 3.2.2 (e)(2) to the contrary and without limitation on any other provision contained in this Section 3.2.2 (e)(2), in the event any securities of the Company (other than the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Modified Securities”), are amended or otherwise modified by operation of its terms or otherwise (including, without limitation, by operation of such Modified Securities’ anti-dilution provisions) in any manner whatsoever that results in (i) the reduction of the exercise, conversion, or exchange price of such Modified Securities payable upon the exercise for, or conversion or exchange into, shares or other securities exercisable for, or convertible or exchangeable into, shares or (ii) such Modified Securities becoming exercisable for, or convertible or exchangeable into (A) more shares or dollar amount of such Modified Securities which are, in turn exercisable for, or convertible or exchangeable into, shares, or (B) more shares, then such amendment or modification shall be treated as if the Modified Securities which have been amended or modified have been terminated and new securities have been issued with the amended or modified terms. The Company shall make all necessary adjustments (including successive adjustments if required) to the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3.2.2 (b), but in no event shall the Conversion Price be greater than it was immediately prior to the application of this Section 3.2.2 (e)(2) to the transaction in question. On the expiration or termination of any such amended or Modified Securities for which adjustment has been made pursuant to the operation of the provisions of this Section 3.2.2 (e)(2), without such Modified Securities having been exercised, converted, or exchanged in full pursuant to their terms, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be appropriately readjusted in the manner specified in this Section 3.2.2 (e)(2).

 

For the purposes of any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to Sections 3.2.2(e)(1) and (2), the following provisions shall be applicable:

 

(A)    Cash. In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the amount of the consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash proceeds received by the Company for such Common Stock before deducting therefrom any reasonable discounts, commissions, taxes or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

 

(B)    Consideration Other Than Cash. In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

4

 

(C)    Options and Convertible Securities. In the case of the issuance of (i) options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock (whether or not at the time exercisable), (ii) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether or not at the time so convertible or exercisable) or (iii) options, warrants or rights to purchase such convertible or exchangeable securities (whether or not at the time exercisable), other than options, warrants, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities which are, or when exercised or converted, would not constitute Additional Stock as defined in Section 3.2.2(e)(4), the following provisions shall apply:

 

i.    the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options, warrants or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in sub-sections (A) and (B) above), if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options, warrants or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby;

 

ii.    the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire such convertible or exchangeable securities and the subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options, warrants or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Company for any such securities and related options, warrants or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such securities and the exercise of any related options, warrants or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subsections (A) and (B) above);

 

iii.    on any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any such options, warrants or rights or conversion of or exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities or any change in the consideration to be received by the Company upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price for such series as then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had an adjustment been made upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights not exercised prior to such change, or securities not converted or exchanged prior to such change, upon the basis of such change;

 

iv.    on the expiration or cancellation of any such options, warrants or rights, or the termination of the right to convert or exchange such convertible or exchangeable securities, if the Conversion Price for any series shall have been adjusted upon the issuance thereof, such Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had an adjustment been made upon the issuance of such options, warrants, rights or securities on the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common

 

5

 

Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights, or upon the conversion or exchange of such securities; and

 

v.    if the Conversion Price for any series shall have been adjusted upon the issuance of any such options, warrants, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, no further adjustment of such Conversion Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise thereof; provided, however, that no increase in the Conversion Price for any series shall be made pursuant to subsections (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.2.2(e)(1)(C).

 

(3)    Stock Dividends. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock is increased by a stock dividend or other distribution on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision, split-up or reclassification of outstanding shares of Common Stock, then immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, split-up or reclassification, as the case may be, the Series A Conversion Price shall be appropriately reduced so that the holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he or she would have owned immediately following such action had such shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior thereto.

 

(4)    Additional Stock. “Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3.2.2(e)(1)(C) by the Company after the date of original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock), other than securities issued by the Company (a) pursuant to stock options or awards of stock granted to the Company’s officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors pursuant to an equity plan or arrangement that is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; (b) upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock; (c) in connection with acquisition transactions approved by the Board of Directors; (d) to financial institutions or to lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings or similar transactions entered into for primarily non-equity financing purposes and approved by the Board of Directors; (e) in connection with strategic transactions entered into for primarily non-equity financing purposes approved by the Board of Directors; and (f) shares of capital stock of the Company issued with the affirmative vote of at least 50% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and approval of the Board of Directors.

 

(5)    Combination of Stock. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock is decreased by a combination or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, immediately after the effective date of such combination or reclassification, the Series A Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he or she would have owned immediately following such action had such shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior thereto.

 

(6)    Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the Common

 

6

 

Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for elsewhere in this subsection 3.2.2(e)), then in each such event the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

(7)    Merger or Consolidation. If at any time or from time to time there shall be an acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger, consolidation or otherwise, resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company for securities or consideration issued or caused to be issued by the acquiring entity or any of its affiliates, then, as a part of such acquisition, provision shall be made so that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the acquiring Company resulting from such acquisition, to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had converted its shares of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such acquisition. In any such case appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this subsection 3.2.2(e) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after such acquisition to the end that the provisions of this subsection 3.2.3(e) (including adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable.

 

(8)    Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this subsection (e) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be.

 

(9)    Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this subsection 3.2.2(e) shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any share of Series A Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment; provided that the Company upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

(10)    Waiver of Anti-Dilution Rights. Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are entitled to receive the rights and benefits of this Section 3.2.2(e) may waive such rights and benefits by delivering a written notice to the Company indicating such intent.

 

7

 

(11)    Termination of Anti-Dilution Rights. The rights of benefits of this Section 3.2.2(e) shall automatically and immediately terminate upon an initial public offering of securities of the Company pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Commission and declared effective pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, upon completion of which the Company has a class of stock registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that stock is listed or quoted on a stock exchange or quotation system.

 

(f)    Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Series A Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in subsection 3.2.2(e), the Company shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock and at the principal office of the Company, a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder) and the Series A Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at its address appearing on the Company’s records. Each such statement shall be signed by the Company’s independent public accountants. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may be included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of subsection 3.2.2(g) below.

 

 

(g)    Notice to Holders. In the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of subsection 3.2.2(e), the Company shall give notice to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in the manner set forth in subsection 3.2.2(f), which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Series A Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable or purchasable upon the occurrence of such action or deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.

 

(h)    Costs. The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in respect of which such shares are being issued.

 

(i)    Reservation of Shares. The Company shall reserve at all times so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out

 

8

 

of its treasury stock (if applicable) or its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(j)    Approvals. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. If, and so long as, any Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then convertible is listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

 

(k)    Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be, upon issuance by the Company, duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the Company shall take no action which will cause a contrary result (including without limitation, any action which would cause the Series A Conversion Price to be less than the par value, if any, of the Common Stock).

 

3.2.3    Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, any distributions shall be made to the holders of the common stock and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding in pari passu.

 

3.2.4    Redemption. The Company shall have no obligation to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part.

 

3.2.5    Dividends. Series A Preferred Shareholders are only entitled to dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors.

 

3.2.6    Retirement of Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock which have been issued and have been converted, redeemed, repurchased, or reacquired in any manner by the Company shall be returned to authorized but undesignated, unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Company.

 

3.2.7    General Provisions.

 

 

(a)    The term “Person” as used herein means any Company, partnership, trust, organization, association, other entity or individual.

 

(b)    The term “outstanding,” when used with reference to shares of

 

9

 

stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Company or a subsidiary.

 

(c)    All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(d)    The headings of the sections, subsections, clauses, and subclauses herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit, or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(e)    The word “days” refers to calendar days unless otherwise specifically indicated.

 

(f)    Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of such certificates, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new certificate of like tenor.

 

The statements contained in the foregoing were adopted by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company to create and designate the Series A Preferred Stock and fixing the number, voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics thereof, and upon the effective date of such series, be deemed to be included in and be a part of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 17-16-601 of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act and of the Articles of Incorporation.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate on January 14, 2022.

ARTICLE I

OFFICES

 

Section 1.       Principal Office. The principal office for the transaction of business of Invest Inc., (the “Company”) is hereby fixed and located at 6582 S. Big Cottonwood Canyon Road, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. The location may be changed by approval of a majority of the authorized Directors, and additional offices may be established and maintained at such other place or places, either within or outside of Wyoming, as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

 

Section 2.         Other Offices. Branch or subordinate offices may at any time be established by the Board of Directors at any place or places where the Company is qualified to do business.

 

ARTICLE II

DIRECTORS - MANAGEMENT

 

Section 1.         Powers, Standard of Care; Liability.

 

1.1         Subject to the provisions of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act (hereinafter the “Code”), and subject to any limitations in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company relating to action required to be approved by the shareholders (each a “Shareholder,” and collectively, “Shareholders”), the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of the Company to a management company or other persons, provided that the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed, and all corporate powers shall be exercised, under the ultimate direction of the Board.

 

1.2         Each Director shall exercise such powers and otherwise perform such duties, in good faith, in the matters such Director believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, using ordinary prudence, as a person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

 

1.3.         In performing the duties of a Director, a Director shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in which case prepared or presented by:

 

(1)         One or more officers or employees of the Company whom the Director believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented,

 

1

 

(2)         Counsel, independent accountants or other persons as to which the Director believes to be within such person’s professional or expert competence, or

 

(3)         A Committee of the Board upon which the Director does not serve, as to matters within its designated authority, which Committee the Director believes to merit confidence, so long as in any such case the Director acts in good faith, after reasonable inquiry when the need therefore is indicated by the circumstances and without knowledge that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.

 

Section 2.         Number and Qualification of Directors. The authorized number of Directors of the Company shall be not less than one nor more than 11 until changed by a duly adopted amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or by an amendment to this Section 2 of Article II of these Bylaws, except that: (i) before shares are issued, the number may be one or two; (ii) as long as the Company has only one shareholder, the number may be either one or two; and (iii) as long as the Company has only two Shareholders, the number may be two. The exact number of Directors may be fixed within the limits specified by resolution adopted by the vote of the majority of Directors in office or by the vote of holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power at any annual meeting, or any special meeting called for such purpose; provided, however, that an amendment to the articles of incorporation or these bylaws reducing the fixed number or the minimum number of Directors to a number less than five cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting, or the shares not consenting in the case of an action by written consent, are equal to more than 16-2/3% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.  No amendment may change the stated maximum number of authorized Directors to a number greater than two times the stated minimum number of Directors minus one. No reduction of the number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director prior to the expiration of his or her term.

 

Section 3.         Election and Term of Office of Directors.

 

3.1         Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the Shareholders to hold office until the next annual meeting; provided, however, that Directors may be elected by unanimous written consent in lieu of an annual meeting of all shares entitled to vote. If any such annual meeting of Shareholders is not held or the Directors are not elected thereat, and no unanimous written consent of Shareholders is given the Directors may be elected at any special meeting of Shareholders held for that purpose. Each Director, including a Director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

 

3.2         Except as may otherwise be provided herein, or in the Articles of Incorporation, or by way of cumulative voting rights, the members of the Board of Directors of this Company, who need not be Shareholders, shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of Shareholders, by the holders of shares of stock present in person or by proxy, entitled to vote in the election.

 

Section 4.         Vacancies.

 

4.1         A vacancy or vacancies on the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in the event of the death, resignation, or removal of any Director, or if the Board of Directors by resolution declares vacant the office of a Director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or

 

2

 

convicted of a felony, or if the authorized number of Directors be increased, or if the Shareholders fail, at any annual or special meeting of Shareholders at which any Director or Directors are elected, to elect the full authorized number of Directors to be voted for at the meeting.

 

4.2        Vacancies on the Board of Directors, except for a vacancy created by the removal of a Director, may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors, or, if the number of Directors then in office is less than a quorum, by (1) the unanimous written consent of the Directors then in office, (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office at a meeting held pursuant to notice or waivers of notice complying with Section 17-16-705 of the Code, or (3) a sole remaining Director. Each Director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders or until a successor has otherwise been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors created by the removal of a Director may only be filled by the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present, or by the unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote.

 

4.3         The Shareholders may elect a Director or Directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies, other than a vacancy caused by removal, by the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

 

4.4         Any Director may resign, effective upon giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary, or the Board of Directors, unless the notice specifies a later time for that resignation to become effective. When one or more Directors give notice of his or her or their resignation from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, the Board may fill the vacancy or vacancies to take effect when the resignation or resignations become effective, each Director so appointed to hold office during the remainder of the term of office of the resigning Director(s).

 

4.5         No reduction of the authorized number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director before that Director’s term of office expires.

 

Section 5.         Removal of Directors.

On production of such evidence of loss or destruction as the Board of Directors in its discretion may require, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require the owner of the lost or destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representatives, to give the Company a bond in such sum as the Board may direct, and with such surety or sureties as may be satisfactory to the Board, to indemnify the Company against any claims, loss, liability or damage it may suffer on account of the issuance of the new certificate. A new certificate may be issued without requiring any such evidence or bond when, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, it is proper to do so.

Section 3.         Transfer of Shares.

 

3.1         Transfer of shares of stock of the Company shall be made on the stock ledger of the Company only by the holder of record thereof, in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of stock with an assignment or power of transfer endorsed thereon or delivered therewith, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature and of authority to transfer and of payment of taxes as the Company or its agents may require.

 

3.2         The Company shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share or shares of stock on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by law.

 

Section 4.         Record Date. In lieu of closing the stock ledger of the Company, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date not exceeding 60 calendar days, nor less than ten calendar days, as the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of Shareholders, or to consent to any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividends or allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given, or, if no notice is given, the day preceding the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining Shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Directors relating thereto is adopted. When a determination of Shareholders of record entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of Shareholders has been made, as provided for herein, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Directors fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNITY

 

Section 1.         Every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, appeal or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether formal or informal, and whether brought by or in the right of the Company, its security holders or otherwise by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company or for its benefit as a Director, officer, employee, or agent of another Company, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, may be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the general Company law of the State of Wyoming from time to time against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements, judgments, fine penalties, damage, punitive damages, excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and cost or expense of any nature) reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her in connection therewith. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, cause the expense of officers and Directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding to be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. No such person shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense or payments incurred in connection with any claim or liability established to have arisen out of his or her own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Any right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such Directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, which such Directors, officers, or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of Shareholders, provision of law or otherwise, as well as their rights under this Article. If an indemnified Director, officer or representative is entitled to indemnification in respect of a portion, but not all, of any liabilities to which such person may be subject, the Company shall indemnify such indemnified Director, officer or representative to the maximum extent for such portion of the liabilities. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the indemnified Director, officer or representative is not entitled to indemnification.

 

Section 2.         The Board of Directors may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Director or officer of another company, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person.

 

Section 3.         The Board of Directors may from time to time adopt further Bylaws with respect to indemnification and may amend these and such Bylaws to the full extent permitted by the Code.

XI to the contrary, in the event the Company elects to become a close corporation, an agreement between two or more Shareholders thereof, if in writing and signed by the parties thereto, may provide that in exercising any voting rights, the shares held by them shall be voted as provided therein or in Section 17-16-722 of the Code, and may otherwise modify the provisions contained in Article IV, herein as to Shareholders’ meetings and actions.

 

Section 2.         Effect of Shareholders Agreements. Any Shareholders’ Agreement authorized by Section 17-17-120 of the Code, shall only be effective to modify the terms of these Bylaws if the Company elects to become a close corporation with the appropriate filing of an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation as required by Section 17-16-202 of the Code and shall terminate when the Company ceases to be a close corporation. Such an agreement cannot waive or alter the following Sections of the Code: Section 17-17-103 (defining close corporations), Section 17-16-202 (requirements of Articles of Incorporation), Section 17-16-640 (relative to distributions), Section 17-16-1102 (merger), or Article 16 (Records and Reports), or Section 17-16-1602 (inspection of records). Any other provisions of the Code or these Bylaws may be altered or waived thereby, but to the extent they are not so altered or waived, these Bylaws shall be applicable.

For the purpose of this Section, a subsidiary of the Company as defined in Section 189 of the Code is defined as another corporation of which shares thereof possessing more than 25% of the voting power are owned directly or indirectly through one or more other corporations of which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power.

Exhibit 3.1

2022 INCENTIVE AND NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

1.         Purpose

 

This Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to further the growth and financial success of Invest Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”) by providing additional incentives to selected employees, directors, and consultants to the Company or parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (such parent corporations and subsidiary corporations hereinafter collectively referred to as “Affiliates”) so that such employees, directors, and consultants may acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company. Stock options granted under the Plan (hereinafter “Options”) may be either “Incentive Stock Options,” as defined in Section 422A of the Code and any regulations promulgated under said Section, or “Nonstatutory Options” at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and as reflected in the respective written stock option agreements granted pursuant hereto.

 

2.         Administration

 

The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided however, that the Board may delegate such administration to a committee of not fewer than three members (the “Committee”), at least two of whom are members of the Board and all of whom are disinterested administrators, as contemplated by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 16b-3”); and provided further, that the foregoing requirement for disinterested administrators shall not apply prior to the date of the first registration of any of the securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

 

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board and/or the Committee shall have authority to (a) grant, in its discretion, Incentive Stock Options in accordance with Section 422A of the Code or Nonstatutory Options; (b) determine in good faith the fair market value of the stock covered by an Option; (c) determine which eligible persons shall be granted Options and the number of shares to be covered thereby and the term thereof; (d) construe and interpret the Plan; (e) promulgate, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to its administration, and correct defects, omissions, and inconsistencies in the Plan or any Option; (f) consistent with the Plan and with the consent of the optionee, as appropriate, amend any outstanding Option or amend the exercise date or dates thereof; (g) determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which may be granted to optionholders without constituting termination of their employment for the purpose of the Plan; and (h) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the Plan’s administration. The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provisions of the Plan or of any Option shall be conclusive and final. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option.

 

1

 

3.         Eligibility

 

The persons who shall be eligible to receive Options shall be employees, directors, or consultants of the Company or any of its Affiliates (“Optionees”). The term consultant shall mean any person who is engaged by the Company to render services and is compensated for such services, and any director of the Company whether or not compensated for such services; provided that, if the Company registers any of its securities pursuant to the Act, the term consultant shall thereafter not include directors who are not compensated for their services or are paid only a director fee by the Company.

 

(a)         Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may only be issued to employees of the Company or its Affiliates. Incentive Stock Options may be granted to officers, whether or not they are directors, but a director shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless such director is also an employee of the Company. Payment of a director fee shall not be sufficient to constitute employment by the Company. Any grant of option to an officer or director of the Company subsequent to the first registration of any of the securities of the Company under the Act shall comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3. An optionee may hold more than one Option.

 

The Company shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan to any employee if such grant would result in such employee holding the right to exercise for the first time in any one calendar year, under all options granted to such employee under the Plan or any other stock option plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate, with respect to shares of stock having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date of the Option is granted, in excess of $100,000. Should it be determined that an Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan exceeds such maximum for any reason other than a failure in good faith to value the stock subject to such option, the excess portion of such option shall be considered a Nonstatutory Option. If, for any reason, an entire option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option by reason of exceeding such maximum, such option shall be considered a Nonstatutory Option.

 

(b)         Nonstatutory Option. The provisions of the foregoing Section 3(a) shall not apply to any option designated as a “Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement” or which sets forth the intention of the parties that the option be a Nonstatutory Option.

 

4.         Stock

 

The stock subject to Options shall be the shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock (the “Stock”).

 

(a)         Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(h) of this Plan, the total number of shares of Stock which may be purchased through exercise of Options granted under this Plan shall not exceed 10,000,000 shares. If any Option shall for any reason terminate or expire, any shares allocated thereto but remaining unpurchased upon such expiration or termination shall again be available for the grant of Options with respect thereto under this Plan as though no Option had been granted with respect to such shares.

 

2

 

(b)          Reservation of Shares. The Company shall reserve and keep available at all times during the term of the Plan such number of shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. If, after reasonable efforts, which efforts shall not include the registration of the Plan or Options under the Act, the Company is unable to obtain authority from any applicable regulatory body, which authorization is deemed necessary by legal counsel for the Company for the lawful issuance of shares hereunder, the Company shall be relieved of any liability with respect to its failure to issue and sell the shares for which such requisite authority was so deemed necessary unless and until such authority is obtained.

 

5.         Terms and Conditions of Options

 

Options granted hereunder shall be evidenced by agreements between the Company and the respective Optionees, in such form and substance as the Board or Committee shall from time to time approve. Such agreements need not be identical, and in each case may include such provisions as the Board or Committee may determine, but all such agreements shall be subject to and limited by the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)          Number of Shares: Each Option shall state the number of shares to which it pertains.

 

(b)          Option Price: Each Option shall state the Option Price, which shall be determined as follows:

 

(i)          Any Option granted to a person who at the time the Option is granted owns (or is deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of value of all classes of stock of the Company, or of any Affiliate, (“10% Holder”) shall have an Option Price of no less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant;

 

(ii)          Incentive Stock Options granted to a person who at the time the Option is granted is not a 10% Holder shall have an Option price of no less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant; and

 

(iii)          Nonstatutory Options granted to a person who at the time the Option is granted is not a 10% Holder shall have an Option Price determined by the Board as of the date of grant.

 

For the purposes of this Section 5(b), the fair market value shall be as determined by the Board, in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive and binding; provided however, that if there is a public market for such stock, the fair market value per share shall be the average of the bid and asked prices on the date of grant of the Option, or if listed on a stock exchange, the closing price on such exchange on such date of grant.

 

3

 

(c)          Medium and Time of Payment: To the extent permissible by applicable law, the Option price shall be paid, at the discretion of the Board, at either the time of grant or the time of exercise of the Option (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by delivery of other common stock of the Company, provided such tendered stock was not acquired directly or indirectly from the Company, or, if acquired from the Company, has been held by the Optionee for more than 12 months, or (iii) such other form of legal consideration permitted by federal and state law as may be acceptable to the Board.

 

(d)          Term and Exercise of Options: Any Option granted to a 10% Holder shall become exercisable over a period of no longer than five years. Any Option otherwise granted to an Employee of the Company shall become exercisable over a period of no longer than ten years. In no event shall any Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date it is granted. Unless otherwise specified by the Board or the Committee in the resolution authorizing such option, the date of grant of an Option shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Board or the Committee authorizes the granting of such Option.

 

Each Option shall be exercisable to the nearest whole share, in installments or otherwise, as the respective option agreements may provide. During the lifetime of an Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, and no other person shall acquire any rights therein. To the extent not exercised, installments (if more than one) shall accumulate, but shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, only during the period for exercise as stated in the option agreement, whether or not other installments are then exercisable.

 

(e)         Termination of Status as Employee, Director, or Consultant: If Optionee’s status as an employee, director, or consultant shall terminate for any reason, then the Optionee (or if the Optionee shall die after such termination, but prior to exercise, Optionee’s personal representative or the person entitled to succeed to the Option) shall have the right to exercise any vested Options, in whole or in part, at any time after such termination during the remaining term of the Option; provided, however, that the Board may specify a shorter period for exercise following termination as the Board deems reasonable and appropriate. The Option may be exercised only with respect to installments that the Optionee could have exercised at the date of termination of employment. Nothing contained herein or in any Option granted pursuant hereto shall be construed to affect or restrict in any way the right of the Company to terminate the employment of an Optionee with or without cause.

 

(f)         Death of Optionee: If an Optionee dies while employed or engaged as a director or consultant by the Company or an Affiliate, the portion of such Optionee’s Option or Options which were exercisable at the date of death may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the estate of the decedent or by a person succeeding to the right to exercise such Option or Options, at any time within the remaining term of the Option, but only to the extent, that Optionee could have exercised the Option as of the date of Optionee’s death; provided, in any case, that the Option may be so exercised only to the extent that the Option has not previously been exercised by Optionee.

 

4

 

(g)         Nontransferability of Option: No Option shall be transferable by the Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

(h)         Recapitalization: Subject to any required action by the shareholders, the number of shares of common stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the price per share thereof set forth in each such Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock of the Company resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.

 

Subject to any required action by the shareholders, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation, each outstanding Option thereafter shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of shares of common stock equal to the shares subject to the Option would have been entitled by reason of such merger or consolidation. A dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity shall cause each outstanding Option to terminate on the effective date of such dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation. In such event, if the entity which shall be the surviving entity does not tender to Optionee an offer, for which it has no obligation to do so, to substitute for any unexercised Option, a stock option or capital stock of such surviving entity, as applicable, which on an equitable basis shall provide the Optionee with substantially the same economic benefit as such unexercised Option, then the Board may grant to such Optionee, but shall not be obligated to do so, the right for a period commencing 30 days prior to and ending immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation or during the remaining term of the Option, whichever is the lesser, to exercise any unexpired Option or Options, without regard to the installment provisions of Section 5(d) of this Plan; provided, that any such right granted shall be granted to all Optionees not receiving an offer to substitute on a consistent basis, and provided further, that any such exercise shall be subject to the consummation of such dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation.

 

In the event of a change in the common stock of the Company as presently constituted, which is limited to a change of all of its authorized shares without par value into the same number of shares with a par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the common stock within the meaning of this Plan.

 

To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive. Except as expressly provided in this Section 5(h), the Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock or any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class, and the number or price of shares of common stock subject to any Option shall not be affected by, and no adjustment shall be made by reason of, any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation, or any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class.

 

The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make any adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

5

 

(i)         Rights as a Shareholder: An Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until the date of the exercise of the Option, including payment and execution of all documents required therefor (the “Exercise Date”). No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the Exercise Date, except as expressly provided in Section 5(h) hereof.

 

(j)         Modification, Acceleration, Extension, and Renewal of Options: Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, the Board may modify an Option, or once an Option is exercisable, accelerate the rate at which it may be exercised, and may extend or renew outstanding Options granted under the Plan or accept the surrender of outstanding Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution for such Options, provided such action is permissible under Section 422A of the Code and state law.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(j), however, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter to the Optionee’s detriment or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.

 

(k)         Investment Intent: Unless and until the issuance and sale of the shares subject to the Plan are registered under the Act, each Option under the Plan shall provide that the purchases of stock thereunder shall be for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Further, unless the issuance and sale of the stock have been registered under the Act, each Option shall provide that no shares shall be purchased upon the exercise of such Option unless and until (i) any then applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies shall have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel, and (ii) if requested to do so by the Company, the person exercising the Option shall (A) give written assurances as to the knowledge and experience of such person (or a representative employed by such person) in financial and business matters and the ability of such person (or representative) to evaluate the merits and risks of exercising the Option, and (B) execute and deliver to the Company a letter of investment intent, all in such form and substance as the Company may require. If shares are issued upon exercise of an Option without registration under the Act, subsequent registration of such shares shall relieve the purchaser thereof of any investment restrictions or representations made upon the exercise of such Options.

 

(l)         Exercise Before Exercise Date: At the discretion of the Board, the Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionee may elect to exercise all or any portion of the Option prior to the stated exercise date of the Option or any installment thereof. Any shares so purchased prior to the stated exercise date shall be subject to repurchase by the Company upon termination of Optionee’s employment as contemplated by Sections 5(e), 5(f), and 5(g) hereof prior to the exercise date stated in the Option and such other restrictions and conditions as the Board or Committee may deem advisable.

 

6

 

(m)         Other Provisions: The Option agreements authorized under this Plan shall contain such other provisions, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Options, as the Board or the Committee shall deem advisable. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, if the exercise of such Option or the issuance of shares thereunder would violate, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, the provisions of any applicable law or the rules or regulations of any applicable governmental or administrative agency or body, such as the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules promulgated under the foregoing or the rules and regulations of any exchange upon which the shares of the Company are listed.

 

6.         Availability of Information

 

During the term of the Plan and any additional period during which an Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable, the Company shall make available, not later than 120 days following the close of each of its fiscal years, such financial and other information regarding the Company as is required by the bylaws of the Company and applicable law to be furnished to the shareholders of the Company.

 

7.         Effectiveness of Plan; Expiration

 

Subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company, this Plan shall be deemed effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board. The Plan shall expire on January 6, 2032 but such expiration shall not affect the validity of outstanding Options.

 

8.         Amendment and Termination of the Plan

 

The Board may, insofar as permitted by law, from time to time, with respect to any shares at the time not subject to Options, suspend or terminate the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, except that without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, no such revision or amendment shall (i) increase the number of shares subject to the Plan, (ii) decrease the price at which Options may be granted, (iii) materially increase the benefits to Optionees, or (iv) change the class of persons eligible to receive Options under this Plan; provided, however, no such action shall alter or impair the rights and obligations under any Option outstanding as of the date thereof without the written consent of the Optionee thereunder. No Option may be granted while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated, but the rights and obligations under any Option granted while the Plan is in effect shall not be impaired by suspension or termination of the Plan.

 

9.         Indemnification of Board

 

In addition to such other rights or indemnifications as they may have as directors or otherwise, and to the extent allowed by applicable law, the members of the Board and the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal thereof, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken, or failure to act, under or in connection with the Plan or any Option granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided

 

7

 

such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, except in any case in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, action, suit or proceeding that such Board member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties; provided that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit or Board proceeding the member involved shall offer the Company, in writing, the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.

 

10.         Application of Funds

 

The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of common stock pursuant to the exercise of Options will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

11.         No Obligation to Exercise Option

 

The granting of an Option shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Option.

 

12.         Notices

 

All notice, requests, demands, and other communications pursuant to this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the fifth day following the mailing thereof to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, or at the time and date of transmission by e-mail if such transmission is between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Mountain time on a business day (“business hours”) and if not transmitted during business hours, at 9:00 a.m. Mountain time on the next business day following transmission.

 

13.         Definition of Days

 

When used herein, the word “days” refers to calendar days and the phrase “business days” refers to all days other than Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays defined by the IRC, or, if not defined by the IRC, as defined by the State of Wyoming.

 

The foregoing Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan was duly adopted and approved by the Board of Directors on January 6, 2022 and approved by the shareholders of the Company on January 6, 2022.

INVEST INC.

2022 INCENTIVE AND NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the Date of Grant specified in the Notice of Incentive Stock Option Grant (the “Grant Notice”), by and between Invest Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Company”), and the Optionee name in the Grant Notice, with reference to the following recitals of facts:

 

WHEREAS, the Board has authorized the granting to Optionee of an incentive stock option (“Option”) to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board and stockholders of the Company have heretofore adopted a 2022 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which this Option is being granted;

 

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Option be an Incentive Stock Option (a “Qualified Stock Option”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.         Term of Option; Continuation of Employment. This Option shall expire, and all rights hereunder to purchase the Shares shall terminate, ten years from the date hereof. This Option shall earlier terminate as set forth in Sections 4 and 5 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the employment of Optionee or to increase or decrease the compensation of Optionee from the rate in existence at the date hereof.

 

2.         Vesting of Option. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 hereof, this Option shall vest and become exercisable during the term of Optionee’s employment as set forth in the Grant Notice.

 

3.         Exercise. In order to exercise this Option with respect to all or any part of the Shares for which this Option is at the time exercisable, Optionee must take the following actions:

 

(a)          Execute and deliver to the Company a written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares being purchased (in whole shares only) and such other information set forth on the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Appendix A; and

 

(b)         Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms:

 

3

 

(i)         Cash or check made payable to the Company.

 

(ii)         Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) at the time the Option is exercised, then the Exercise Price may also be paid as follows:

 

(1)          In shares of Common Stock held by Optionee for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at fair market value on the Exercise Date; or

 

(2)         To the extent the Option is exercised for vested Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (a) to a Company-approved brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, State and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason of such exercise; and (b) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale (a “cashless exercise transaction”).

 

(iii)         Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Option by payment of cash, the Optionee may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Option (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Option at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Optionee a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

       A

 

Where         X =         the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Optionee

 

                Y =         the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Option or, if only a portion of the Option is being exercised, the portion of the Option being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

 

                A =         the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

 

                B =         Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

(c)         Execute and deliver to the Company such written representations as may be requested by the Company in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of Federal and State securities laws.

 

4

 

(d)         Make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all Federal, State and local income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise, if any.

 

(e)         If requested, execute and deliver to the Company a written statement as provided for in Section 10 hereof.

 

4.         Termination of Employment. If Optionee shall cease to serve as an employee of the Company for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Optionee shall have the right, during the remaining term of the Option, to exercise in whole or in part this Option to the extent, but only to the extent, that this Option was exercisable as of the last day of employment, and had not previously been exercised; provided, however, that the Board may specify a shorter period for exercise following termination as the Board deems reasonable and appropriate, but not shorter than 12 months in the event Optionee’s termination was caused by Permanent Disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code. The Option may be exercised only with respect to installments that the Optionee could have exercised at the date of termination of employment.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all rights under this Option shall expire in any event on the date specified in Section 1 hereof.

 

5.         Death of Optionee. If the Optionee shall die while an employee of the Company, Optionee’s personal representative or the person entitled to Optionee’s rights hereunder may at any time during the remaining term of this Option, exercise this Option and purchase Shares to the extent, but only to the extent, that Optionee could have exercised this Option as of the date of Optionee’s death; provided, in any case, that this Option may be so exercised only to the extent that this Option has not previously been exercised by Optionee.

 

6.         No Rights as Stockholder. Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Shares covered by any installment of this Option until the Exercise Date and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the Exercise Date except as provided in Section 7 hereof.

 

7.         Recapitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by this Option, and the price per Share thereof, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided however that the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed having been “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.”

In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, this Option shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. The Board may, at its sole and absolute discretion and without obligation, declare that this Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and grant Optionee the right for a period commencing 30 days prior to and ending immediately prior to such date, or during the remaining term of this Option, whichever

 

5

 

occurs sooner, to exercise this Option as to all or any part of the Shares, without regard to the installment provision of Section 2; provided, however, that such exercise shall be subject to the consummation of such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or sale.

 

Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation, this Option thereafter shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of Shares equal to the Shares subject to this Option would have been entitled by reason of such merger or consolidation, and the vesting provisions of Section 2 shall continue to apply.

 

In the event of a change in the Shares of the Company as presently constituted, which is limited to a change of all of its authorized Shares without par value into the same number of Shares with a par value, the Shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Shares within the meaning of this Agreement.

 

To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to shares or securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of share of stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class, and the number and price of shares subject to this Option shall not be affected by, and no adjustments shall be made by reason of, any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation, or any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class.

 

The grant of this Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

8.         Taxation upon Exercise of Option. Optionee understands that, upon exercise of this Option, Optionee may recognize income, for federal and state income tax purposes, in an amount equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the Shares, determined as of the date of exercise, exceeds the exercise price. The acceptance of the Shares by Optionee shall constitute an agreement by Optionee to report such income in accordance with then applicable law and to cooperate with Company in establishing the amount of such income and corresponding deduction to the Company for its income tax purposes. Withholding for federal or state income and employment tax purposes will be made, if and as required by law, from Optionee’s then current compensation, or, if such current compensation is insufficient to satisfy withholding tax liability, the Company may require Optionee to make a cash payment to cover such liability as a condition of the exercise of this Option.

 

9.         Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. The Board may modify, extend or renew this Option or accept the surrender thereof (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of a new option in substitution therefore (to the extent not theretofore exercised), subject at all times to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, no modification shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter to the Optionee’s detriment or impair any rights of Optionee hereunder.

 

6

 

10.         Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transfer. Optionee represents and agrees that if Optionee exercises this Option in whole or in part, Optionee will in each case acquire the Shares upon such exercise for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof; and that upon such exercise of this Option in whole or in part, Optionee (or any person or persons entitled to exercise this Option under the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 hereof) shall furnish to the Company a written statement to such effect, satisfactory to the Company in form and substance. The Company, at its option, may include a legend on each certificate representing Shares issued pursuant to any exercise of this Option, stating in effect that such Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and that the transferability thereof is restricted. If the Shares represented by this Option are registered under the Act, either before or after the exercise of this Option in whole or in part, the Optionee shall be relieved of the foregoing investment representation (attached as Exhibit A) and agreement and shall not be required to furnish the Company with the foregoing written statement.

 

Optionee further represents that Optionee has had access to the financial statements or books and records of the Company, has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning its business, operations and financial condition, and to obtain additional information reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of such information, and further represents that Optionee has either such experience and knowledge in investment, financial and business matters or has investments similar to the stock of the Company such that Optionee is capable of evaluating the merits and risks thereof and has the capacity to protect his or her own interest in connection therewith.

 

11.         Notices. All notice, requests, demands, and other communications pursuant to this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the fifth day following the mailing thereof to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, or at the time and date of transmission by e-mail if such transmission is between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Mountain time on a business day (“business hours”) and if not transmitted during business hours, at 9:00 a.m. Mountain time on the next business day following transmission at the address last provided to the Company by Optionee for his or her employee records.

 

12.         Agreement Subject to Plan; Applicable Law. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan and shall be interpreted to comply therewith. A copy of such Plan is available to Optionee, at no charge, at the principal office of the Company. Any provision of this Agreement inconsistent with the Plan shall be considered void and replaced with the applicable provision of the Plan. This Agreement has been granted, executed and delivered in the State of Wyoming, and the interpretation and enforcement shall be governed by the laws thereof and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts therein.

OPTIONEE:                                                                               

 

COMPANY:                   INVEST INC.

 

SECURITY:                  COMMON STOCK

DATE:                                                                                        

 

In connection with the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:

 

a.    Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

 

b.    Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Act and have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.

 

c.    Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Optionee, the exercise shall be exempt from registration under the Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of

 

11

 

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 90 days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified by Rule 144, including in the case of affiliates (1) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (2) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations, (3) the resale being made in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction,” transactions directly with a “market maker” or “riskless principal transactions” (as those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

 

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which may require (i) the availability of current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale to occur more than a specified period after the purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the Securities; and (iii) in the case of the sale of Securities by an affiliate, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

 

d.    Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption shall be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 shall have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any other such registration exemption shall be available in such event.

(a)    Execute and deliver to the Company a written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares being purchased (in whole shares only) and such other information set forth on the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Appendix A; and

 

(b)    Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms:

 

15

 

 

(i)

Cash or check made payable to the Company.

 

(ii)    Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) at the time the Option is exercised, then the Exercise Price may also be paid as follows:

 

(1)         In shares of Common Stock held by Optionee for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at fair market value on the Exercise Date; or

 

(2)         To the extent the Option is exercised for vested Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (a) to a Company-approved brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, State and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason of such exercise; and (b) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale (a “cashless exercise transaction”); or

 

(iii)    Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Option by payment of cash, the Optionee may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Option (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Option at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Optionee a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

 

Where         X =         the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Optionee

 

     Y =         the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Option or, if only a portion of the Option is being exercised, the portion of the Option being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

 

     A =         the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

 

     B =         Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

(c)    Execute and deliver to the Company such written representations as may be requested by the Company in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of Federal and State securities laws.

 

16

 

(d)    Make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all Federal, State and local income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise, if any.

 

(e)    If requested, execute and deliver to the Company a written statement as provided for in Section 10 hereof.

 

4.         Termination of Employment or Engagement. If Optionee shall cease to serve as an employee, director, or consultant or otherwise be engaged by or with the Company, as the case may be, for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Optionee shall have the right, during the remaining term of the Option, to exercise in whole or in part this Option to the extent, but only to the extent, that this Option was exercisable as of the last day of employment or engagement, as applicable, and had not previously been exercised; provided, however, that the Board may specify a shorter period for exercise following termination as the Board deems reasonable and appropriate, but not shorter than 12 months in the event Optionee’s termination was caused by Permanent Disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code. The Option may be exercised only with respect to installments that the Optionee could have exercised at the date of termination of employment or engagement.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all rights under this Option shall expire in any event on the date specified in Section 1 hereof.

 

5.         Death of Optionee. If the Optionee shall die while an employee, director, or consultant of the Company, Optionee’s personal representative or the person entitled to Optionee’s rights hereunder may at any time during the remaining term of this Option, exercise this Option and purchase Shares to the extent, but only to the extent, that Optionee could have exercised this Option as of the date of Optionee’s death; provided, in any case, that this Option may be so exercised only to the extent that this Option has not previously been exercised by Optionee.

 

6.         No Rights as Stockholder. Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Shares covered by any installment of this Option until the Exercise Date and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the Exercise Date except as provided in Section 7 hereof.

 

7.         Recapitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by this Option, and the price per Share thereof, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided however that the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed having been “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.”

 

In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, this Option shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. The Board may, at its sole and

 

17

 

absolute discretion and without obligation, declare that this Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and grant Optionee the right for a period commencing 30 days prior to and ending immediately prior to such date, or during the remaining term of this Option, whichever occurs sooner, to exercise this Option as to all or any part of the Shares, without regard to the installment provision of Section 2; provided, however, that such exercise shall be subject to the consummation of such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or sale.

 

Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation, this Option thereafter shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of Shares equal to the Shares subject to this Option would have been entitled by reason of such merger or consolidation, and the vesting provisions of Section 2 shall continue to apply.

 

In the event of a change in the Shares of the Company as presently constituted, which is limited to a change of all of its authorized Shares without par value into the same number of Shares with a par value, the Shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Shares within the meaning of this Agreement.

 

To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to shares or securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of share of stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class, and the number and price of shares subject to this Option shall not be affected by, and no adjustments shall be made by reason of, any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation, or any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class.

 

The grant of this Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

8.         Taxation upon Exercise of Option. Optionee understands that, upon exercise of this Option, Optionee may recognize income, for federal and state income tax purposes, in an amount equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the Shares, determined as of the date of exercise, exceeds the exercise price. The acceptance of the Shares by Optionee shall constitute an agreement by Optionee to report such income in accordance with then applicable law and to cooperate with Company in establishing the amount of such income and corresponding deduction to the Company for its income tax purposes. Withholding for federal or state income and employment tax purposes will be made, if and as required by law, from Optionee’s then current compensation, or, if such current compensation is insufficient to satisfy withholding tax liability, the Company may require Optionee to make a cash payment to cover such liability as a condition of the exercise of this Option.

 

9.         Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. The Board may modify, extend or renew this Option or accept the surrender thereof (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and

 

18

 

authorize the granting of a new option in substitution therefore (to the extent not theretofore exercised), subject at all times to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, no modification shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter to the Optionee’s detriment or impair any rights of Optionee hereunder.

 

10.         Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transfer. Optionee represents and agrees that if Optionee exercises this Option in whole or in part, Optionee will in each case acquire the Shares upon such exercise for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof; and that upon such exercise of this Option in whole or in part, Optionee (or any person or persons entitled to exercise this Option under the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 hereof) shall furnish to the Company a written statement to such effect, satisfactory to the Company in form and substance. The Company, at its option, may include a legend on each certificate representing Shares issued pursuant to any exercise of this Option, stating in effect that such Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and that the transferability thereof is restricted. If the Shares represented by this Option are registered under the Act, either before or after the exercise of this Option in whole or in part, the Optionee shall be relieved of the foregoing investment representation (attached as Exhibit A) and agreement and shall not be required to furnish the Company with the foregoing written statement.

 

Optionee further represents that Optionee has had access to the financial statements or books and records of the Company, has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning its business, operations and financial condition, and to obtain additional information reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of such information, and further represents that Optionee has either such experience and knowledge in investment, financial and business matters or has investments similar to the stock of the Company such that Optionee is capable of evaluating the merits and risks thereof and has the capacity to protect his or her own interest in connection therewith.

 

11.         Notices. All notice, requests, demands, and other communications pursuant to this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the fifth day following the mailing thereof to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, or at the time and date of transmission by e-mail if such transmission is between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Mountain time on a business day (“business hours”) and if not transmitted during business hours, at 9:00 a.m. Mountain time on the next business day following transmission at the address last provided to the Company by Optionee for his or her employee records.

 

12.         Agreement Subject to Plan; Applicable Law. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan and shall be interpreted to comply therewith. A copy of such Plan is available to Optionee, at no charge, at the principal office of the Company. Any provision of this Agreement inconsistent with the Plan shall be considered void and replaced with the applicable provision of the Plan. This Agreement has been granted, executed and delivered in the State of Wyoming, and the interpretation and enforcement shall be governed by the laws thereof and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts therein.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

 

 

OPTIONEE:                                                                               

 

COMPANY:                   INVEST INC.

 

SECURITY:                  COMMON STOCK

 

NO. OF SHARES:                                                                      

 

DATE:                                                                                        

 

 

 

In connection with the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:

 

a.    Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

 

b.    Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Act and have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.

 

c.    Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Optionee, the exercise shall be exempt from registration

 

23

 

under the Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 90 days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified by Rule 144, including in the case of affiliates (1) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (2) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations, (3) the resale being made in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction,” transactions directly with a “market maker” or “riskless principal transactions” (as those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

 

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which may require (i) the availability of current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale to occur more than a specified period after the purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the Securities; and (iii) in the case of the sale of Securities by an affiliate, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

 

d.    Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption shall be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 shall have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any other such registration exemption shall be available in such event.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

This subscription agreement (this “Subscription Agreement” or the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Invest Inc., a Wyoming corporation (hereinafter the “Company”) and the undersigned (hereinafter the “Investor”) as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto. Any term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Offering Circular (as defined below).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to offer shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) on a “best efforts” basis pursuant to Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a Tier 2 offering (the “Offering”) of Common Stock at a purchase price of $6.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), for total gross proceeds of up to $18,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Investor desires to acquire that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) as set forth on the signature page hereto at the purchase price set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Offering will terminate on the first to occur of: (i) the date on which the Maximum Offering is completed; (ii) the date which is one year after the Offering was qualified with the SEC; or (iii) the date on which this Offering is earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion (in each case, the “Termination Date”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.      Subscription

 

a)      The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto at the Per Share Purchase Price, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares with respect to each Investor (the “Purchase Price”) is payable in the manner provided in Section 2(a) below. The minimum number of Shares that the Investor may purchase is 100 shares for a subscription price of $600.

 

b)      Investor understands that the Shares are being offered pursuant to the Form 1-A Regulation A offering statement of which the Offering Circular forms a part, dated [ ], 2023 and its exhibits as filed with and qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on [ ], 2023 (the “Offering Circular”). By subscribing to the Offering, the Investor acknowledges that Investor has received and reviewed a copy of the Offering Circular and any other information required by Investor to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares. The Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Shares. The Company will close on investments on a “rolling basis,” pursuant to the terms of the Offering Circular. As a result, not all investors will receive their Shares on the same date.

 

c)      This subscription may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason, at any time prior to the Termination Date, by the Company at its sole and absolute discretion. In addition, the Company, at

its sole and absolute discretion, may allocate to Investor only a portion of the number of the Shares that Investor has subscribed for hereunder. The Company, or its designated agents, will notify Investor whether this subscription is accepted (whether in whole or in part) or rejected. If Investor’s subscription is rejected, Investor’s payment (or portion thereof if partially rejected) will be returned to Investor without interest and, if rejected in whole, all of Investor’s obligations hereunder shall terminate. In the event of rejection of this subscription in its entirety, or in the event the sale of the Shares (or any portion thereof) to an Investor is not consummated for any reason, this Subscription Agreement shall have no force or effect, except for Section 5 hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

 

d)      The terms of this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon Investor and its permitted transferees, heirs, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Transferees”); provided, however, that for any such transfer to be deemed effective, the Transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company in advance an instrument in form acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion, pursuant to which the proposed Transferee shall acknowledge and agree to be bound by the representations and warranties of Investor and the terms of this Subscription Agreement. No transfer of this Agreement may be made without the consent of the Company, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

2.      Payment and Purchase Procedure. The Purchase Price shall be paid simultaneously with Investor’s subscription. Investor shall deliver payment for the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares by ACH deposit, wire, or by credit card to an account designated by the Company in Section 8 below. The Investor acknowledges that, in order to subscribe for Shares, they must fully comply with the purchase procedure requirements set forth in Section 8 below.

 

3.      Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Investor that the following representations and warranties are true and complete in all material respects as of the date of Closing: (a) the Company is a corporation duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Wyoming. The Company has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement, the Shares, and any other agreements or instruments required hereunder. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business; (b) The issuance, sale, and delivery of the Shares in accordance with this Subscription Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.

Upon the Company’s acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies; and (iii) with respect to provisions relating to indemnification and contribution, as limited by the Company’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, and the Wyoming Business Corporation Act in general.

 

4.     Representations and Warranties of Investor. By subscribing to the Offering, Investor (and, if Investor is purchasing the Shares subscribed for hereby in a fiduciary capacity, the person or persons for whom Investor is so purchasing) represents and warrants, which representations and warranties are true and complete in all material respects, as of the date of the Closing:

 

a)      Requisite Power and Authority. Investor has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to subscribe to the Offering, to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to carry out the provisions thereof. All actions on Investor’s part required for the lawful subscription to the offering have been or will be effectively taken prior to the Closing. Upon subscribing to the Offering, this Subscription Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.

 

3

 

b)      Company Offering Circular. Investor acknowledges the public availability of the Company’s Offering Circular which can be viewed on the SEC Edgar Database, under the CIK number 0001908239. This Offering Circular is made available in the Company’s qualified offering statement on SEC Form 1-A, as amended, and was qualified by the SEC on [ ], 2023. In the Company’s Offering Circular, it makes clear the terms and conditions of the Offering of the Shares and the risks associated therewith are described. Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, and financial affairs with directors, officers, and management of the Company. Investor has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment. Investor acknowledges that except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to Investor, or to Investor’s advisors or representative, by the Company or others with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition.

 

c)      Investment Experience; Investor Determination of Suitability. Investor has sufficient experience in financial and business matters to be capable of utilizing such information to evaluate the merits and risks of Investor’s investment in the Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Alternatively, the Investor has utilized the services of a purchaser representative and together they have sufficient experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of utilizing such information to evaluate the merits and risks of Investor’s investment in the Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Investor has evaluated the risks of an investment in the Shares, including those described in the section of the Offering Circular entitled “Risk Factors,” and has determined that the investment is suitable for Investor. Investor has adequate financial resources for an investment of this character. Investor could bear a complete loss of Investor’s investment in the Company. 

 

d)      No Registration. Investor understands that the Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the issuance is exempt under Regulation A of Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the truth and accuracy of Investor's representations and warranties, and those of the other purchasers of the Shares, in the offering. Investor further understands that the Company is offering the Shares by members of its management and through broker/dealers who are registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Investor covenants not to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any Shares unless such Shares have been registered under the applicable state securities laws in which the Shares are sold, or unless exemptions from such registration requirements are otherwise available.

 

e)      Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. Investor acknowledges and agrees that there is no ready public market for the Shares and that there is no guarantee that a market for their resale will ever exist. The Company has no obligation to list any of the Shares on any market or take any steps (including registration under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to facilitating trading or resale of the Shares. Investor must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely and Investor acknowledges that Investor is able to bear the economic risk of losing Investor’s entire investment in the Shares.

 

f)      Accredited Investor Status or Investment Limits. Investor represents that either:

 

(i)      that Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Shares Act; or

 

(ii)      that the Purchase Price, together with any other amounts previously used to purchase Shares in this offering, does not exceed 10% of the greater of Investor’s annual income or net worth (or in the case where Investor is a non-natural person, their revenue or net assets for such Investor's most recently completed fiscal year end).

 

Investor represents that to the extent it has any questions with respect to its status as an accredited investor, or the application of the investment limits, it has sought professional advice.

 

g)     Stockholder Information. Within five days after receipt of a request from the Company, Investor hereby agrees to provide such information with respect to its status as a stockholder (or potential stockholder) and to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations to which the Company is or may become subject, including, without limitation, the need to determine the accredited investor status of the Company’s stockholders. Investor further agrees that in the event it transfers any Shares, it will require the transferee of such Shares to agree to provide such information to the Company as a condition of such transfer.

 

4

 

h)     Valuation; Arbitrary Determination of Per Share Purchase Price by the Company. Investor acknowledges that the Per Share Purchase Price of the Shares to be sold in this Offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company’s internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value. Investor further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that Investor’s investment will bear a lower valuation.

 

i)     Domicile. Investor maintains Investor’s domicile (and is not a transient or temporary resident) at the address provided with Investors subscription.

 

j)     Foreign Investors. If Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares; (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Shares. Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Investor’s jurisdiction.

 

k)     Fiduciary Capacity. If Investor is purchasing the Shares in a fiduciary capacity for another person or entity, including without limitation a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other entity, the Investor has been duly authorized and empowered to execute this Agreement and all other subscription documents. Upon request of the Company, Investor will provide true, complete, and current copies of all relevant documents creating the Investor, authorizing its investment in the Company, and/or evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing.

 

5.      Indemnity. The representations, warranties, and covenants made by Investor herein shall survive the closing of this Subscription Agreement. Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its respective officers, directors, and affiliates, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees on appeal) and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any false representation or warranty or breach of failure by Investor to comply with any covenant or agreement made by Investor herein or in any other document furnished by Investor to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

Confidential Information shall also include all notebooks, documents, memorandums, reports, writings, books, correspondence, computer programs, or any other written or graphic records or other information of, about or concerning Employer’s business, its manner of operation, or its products of any kind, nature or description which is not at the point of disclosure generally available to the public.

 

10.2    During the term of this Agreement, Employee will have access to and become acquainted with various pieces of Confidential Information and opportunities which are owned by Employer and which are regularly used in the operation of the business of Employer. During the term of this Agreement, and at all times after the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee shall not disclose any of the aforesaid Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, or take advantage of the aforesaid opportunities in any way, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, except as required hereunder. All Confidential Information coming into Employee’s possession shall remain the exclusive property of Employer and shall not be copied and/or removed from the premises of Employer under any circumstances whatsoever without the prior written consent of Employer. Under no circumstances shall such Confidential Information be allowed to fall into the hands of or be used by Employee or any competitor of Employer, except in the furtherance of this Agreement. To the extent that Employee originates, develops, or reduces to writing Confidential Information, Employee does so within the scope of services provided hereunder. In either circumstance, Employer possesses all right, title, and interest in all Confidential Information.

 

10.3    Employee agrees to deliver promptly to Employer at any time upon request by Employer and upon the termination of his employment for any reason, all files, records, documents, drawings, customer lists, other lists, equipment, books, notebooks, memoranda, reports, correspondence, or other written or graphic records and the like, and all other Confidential Information relating to Employer’s business, which are or have been in Employee’s possession or under his control.

 

10.4    During the term of this Agreement and at all times after the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee, principal or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, make known, disclose, furnish, make available or utilize any of the Confidential Information, other than in the proper performance of the duties contemplated herein unless and until such Confidential Information shall become general public knowledge through no fault of Employee.

 

10.5    During the term of this Agreement and at all times after the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, make known to any person, firm, or Company the names, addresses, or telephone numbers of customers of Employer or any other Confidential Information pertaining to them.

 

 

11.

Non-Competition.

 

11.1    Employee shall not, so long as he is employed by Employer, engage in “Competition” with Employer. For purposes of this Agreement, Competition by Employee shall mean Employee’s engaging in, or otherwise directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as

 

3 of 7

 

a consultant or lender to, or being a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, stockholder, member, owner or partner of, or permitting his name to be used in connection with the activities of any other business or organization anywhere in the United States which competes, directly or indirectly, with the business of Employer.

 

11.2    During Employee’s employment, Employee agrees not to plan or otherwise take any preliminary steps, either alone or in concert with others, to set up or engage in any business enterprise which the Employer determines in good faith to be in Competition in any manner whatsoever with its business.

 

11.3    After the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, Employee agrees that he or will not, directly or indirectly, for his benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or entity, use or disclose Confidential Information to engage in Competition with Employer.

 

 

12.

Non-Solicitation.

 

12.1    After the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, Employee agrees that he or will not, directly or indirectly, for his benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or entity, use or disclose Confidential Information to solicit or entice or participate in the solicitation or attempt to solicit or in any manner encourage employees or consultants of the Employer to leave the Employer or work for any other entity or person (including yourself).

 

12.2    After the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, Employee agrees that he or will not, directly or indirectly, for his benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or entity, use or disclose Confidential Information to solicit, or take away, or attempt to call on, solicit, or take away, any of the Employer’s customers.

 

13.    Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him to Employer are of a special and unique character, which gives this Agreement a peculiar value to Employer, the loss of which may not be reasonably or adequately compensated for by damages in an action at law, and that a material breach or threatened breach by him of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement, will cause Employer irreparable injury. Employee therefore agrees that Employer shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy, to a temporary, preliminary and permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages or the posting of any bond or security, enjoining or restraining Employee from any such violation or threatened violations.

 

13.1    Employee further acknowledges and agrees that due to the uniqueness of his services and confidential nature of the information he or will possess, the covenants set forth in Sections 10, 11, and 12 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of Employer.

 

13.2    Employee further agrees that the terms of Sections 10, 11, and 12 survive the termination of Employee’s employment.

 

4 of 7

 

14.    No Conflict. Employee represents and warrants that Employee’s execution of this Agreement and performance of services under this Agreement will not violate any obligations Employee may have to any other person or entity.

 

15.    Return of Employer Property. Employee agrees that following the termination of his employment for any reason, he shall return all property of Employer, its subsidiaries, affiliates and any divisions thereof which is then in or thereafter comes into his possession, including, but not limited to, documents, contracts, agreements, plans, photographs, books, notes, electronically stored data and all copies of the foregoing as well as any other materials or equipment supplied by Employer to Employee.

 

16.    Notices. Any notices to be given hereunder by either Party to the other shall be in writing and may be transmitted by personal delivery, overnight delivery, mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested, or sent by electronic mail (with receipt confirmed). Mailed notices shall be addressed to the Parties at the addresses set forth below, but each Party may change that address by written notice in accordance with this section. Notices delivered personally shall be deemed communicated as of the date of actual receipt; mailed notices shall be deemed communicated three days from the date of mailing.

(b)  This Sublease is and shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease.

 

(c)    The terms, conditions and respective obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and conditions of the Master Lease except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the terms of this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore, for the purposes of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word “Lessor” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublessor herein and wherever in the Master Lease the word “Lessee” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublessee herein.

 

(d)    During the term of this Sublease and for all periods subsequent for obligations which have arisen prior to the termination of this Sublease, Sublessee does hereby expressly assume and agree to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Sublessor and Master Lessor, each and every obligation of Sublessor under the Master Lease (the “Sublessee’s Assumed Obligations”). The obligations that Sublessee has not assumed under this Paragraph 7 are hereinafter referred to as the “Sublessor’s Remaining Obligations”.

(b)    In the event that the obligations of the Sublessor under the Master Lease have been guaranteed by third Parties, then neither this Sublease nor the Master Lessor’s consent shall be effective unless, within ten (10) days of the date hereof, said guarantors sign this Sublease thereby giving their consent to this Sublease.

 

(c)    In the event that Master Lessor does give such consent then:

(ii)    The acceptance of Rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee or anyone else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Master Lessor of any provisions of the Master Lease.

Exhibit 6.7 

 

tzero_logo.jpg

EXHIBIT A

 

PLACEMENT AGENT SERVICES

 

This Exhibit (“Exhibit”) is entered into by tZERO Markets, LLC, having an address for notice of 525 Washington Blvd, Suite 300, Jersey City, NJ 07310 (for purposes of this Exhibit and the Agreement formed by this Exhibit, “tZERO”) and the Client signing this Exhibit below.

 

Client has agreed to the Terms and Conditions (or, to the extent Client has not already agreed to the Terms and Conditions, by entering into this Exhibit, Client agrees to the Terms and Conditions). By entering into this Exhibit as indicated below, Client and tZERO are entering into a separate agreement consisting of this Exhibit and the Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”).

 

The Agreement specifies the terms and conditions applicable to Client’s access to and use of tZERO’s placement agent services as described in Section 4 (for purposes of this Exhibit, the “Purchased Services”) for Client’s Regulation A offering of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Client’s common stock (the “Offering” and the 3,000,000 shares of common stock referred to as the “Securities”).

 

For purposes of the Agreement all references to “tZERO” in this Exhibit and the Terms and Conditions will refer to the tZERO entity entering into this Exhibit and all references herein to a “party” or the “parties” refer collectively and interchangeably to Client and such tZERO entity. To the extent of any conflict between this Exhibit and the Terms and Conditions, the Terms and Conditions will control, except to the extent this Exhibit expressly identifies a provision of the Terms and Conditions to be superseded by the Exhibit.

 

In consideration of the foregoing, and in reliance on the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.    Agreement. The Agreement formed by this Exhibit sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Purchased Services hereunder and all access to and use thereof. The Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communication and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between the parties solely with respect to the Purchased Services under this Agreement, but not as to the Purchased Services under any other Agreement.

 

2.    Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and defined in the context in which they are used will have the meanings given to them herein and as prescribed below. All other terms used in this Agreement will have their plain English meaning as commonly interpreted in the United States.

 

3.    Term. tZERO’s engagement under this Agreement will continue until the earlier of (a) the two-year anniversary of this Exhibit, or (b) the date of the termination or final closing of the Offering to which the Purchased Services relate. The termination of tZERO’s engagement under this Agreement will be without liability or continuing obligation of Client and tZERO except for (i) Client’s obligation to pay tZERO the fees as described in Section 10, (ii) the Company’s obligation to reimburse tZERO’s out-of-pocket expenses as described in Section 10, and (iii) the provisions of Sections 8 through 9 and Schedule B, all of which will survive termination and remain in full force. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if tZERO or its assignees hereunder are unable to provide the Purchased Services on or prior to May 15, 2023, Client may terminate this Exhibit with no obligation to pay tZERO the fees as described in Section 10 of this Exhibit (including the One-Time Fee which shall be reimbursed) and no obligations under Section 9 of this Exhibit.

 

4.    Purchased Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including payment of all applicable Fees, tZERO is engaged to act as Client’s exclusive placement agent and arranger in seeking, arranging, negotiating and generally advising with respect to the Offering of Client’s Securities. In connection with performing the Purchased Services Offering, tZERO agrees to perform the activities listed on Schedule A to this Exhibit.  All Services hereunder are limited to the Purchased Services, solely as specified in this Agreement during the Term.

 

4.1 tZERO hereby accepts such engagement and shall provide the Purchased Services on a “reasonable efforts” basis. Client understands that the Purchased Services will be provided through or using, tZERO’s online platform operated by tZERO and its affiliates to facilitate primary market securities transactions or through a third-party platform designated by tZERO (the “Platform”). Client directs tZERO to post information relating to its Offering and the Offering Materials (as defined below) on the Platform to facilitate the Offering. Client agrees to accept all investments in the Offering by users of the Platform (provided the stated escrow target has been met) and directs that all applicable investment funds be transmitted directly to the escrow

account for the Client’s Offering. Client has not granted any other person the right to act as placement agent or underwriter in connection with the Offering. During the term of this Agreement, Client will not (i) offer the Securities for sale to, or solicit any offers to buy from, any person, whether directly or indirectly, other than through tZERO or (ii) engage in discussions with any person other than representatives of tZERO for the purpose of engaging, or considering the engagement of, such person as a finder or broker in connection with the sale by Client of the Securities to potential investors, other than offers or discussions relating to (x) securities issued pursuant to contractual obligations of Client in effect as of the date of this Agreement; and (y) securities issued pursuant to employee benefit, option or purchase plans. Client will furnish to tZERO the names and contact information of all persons with which Client is discussing, or that Client has contacted, concerning the sale of the Securities. tZERO specifically exempts and acknowledges Client’s engagement with EF Hutton.

 

4.2         Each of Client and tZERO agrees to: (i) conduct the Offering in a manner intended to comply with Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (ii) conduct the Offering in a manner intended to comply with the registration or qualification requirements, or available exemptions therefrom, under applicable state “blue sky” laws and applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions.

 

4.3         Until the termination of this Agreement, Client will not solicit or negotiate with or retain any other financial advisor, placement agent or underwriter in connection with any offering of the Securities. During the term of this Agreement, before Client may engage a third party to provide financial advisory and investment banking services not contemplated by this Agreement (including acting as Client’s book-running lead managing underwriter, exclusive placement agent, exclusive arranger, exclusive financial advisor, exclusive structuring agent, or in any other similar capacity not contemplated by this Agreement), Client shall first offer to engage tZERO to provide such additional services (“Additional Services”) on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to each of Client and tZERO. If tZERO does not accept the Additional Services within 15 days of Client’s offer, Client may engage a third party to render such Additional Services on terms no less favorable than those offered by tZERO, if any.

 

4.4          Client acknowledges and agrees that any portion or all of the Purchaser Services may be assigned, in tZERO’s discretion, to another SEC-registered broker dealer in good standing with FINRA, provided that such assignment shall not increase fees due by Client in Section 10. Additionally, Client acknowledges and agrees that tZERO may bring in additional placement agents for the Offering and work with a syndicate of broker-dealers to provide the Purchaser Services.

 

4.5         Client acknowledges and agrees that that all customer data collected through the Platform shall be the property of tZERO. Aside from the Purchased Services, any requests for data and reports shall be subject to the Data and Software Services Exhibit under this Agreement.

 

5.    Branding. The Purchased Services shall be branded under the brands, trademarks, designs, logos and names of Client (the “Client Marks”). Client acknowledges and agrees that the Client Marks may be used on the Platform and any press release, public announcement or public communication during the Term of this Agreement, provided that any such press release, public announcement, or public communication is pre-approved in writing by Client. If applicable, the name and logo(s) of tZERO shall appear on the Purchased Services as a mutually agreed-upon “Powered by tZERO” reference.

 

6.    Client Obligations and Offering Materials.

 

6.1.    Client will provide tZERO with (i) reasonable access to Client’s officers, directors, employees, advisors, and other representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) as well as any other third parties having a material relationship with Client to the extent that tZERO deems reasonably necessary in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement and (ii) all other assistance reasonably necessary to tZERO’s performance under this Agreement. Client will furnish to tZERO the information and data relating to Client that tZERO reasonably requests and will notify tZERO of any material events or developments relating to Client, its business, operations or financial condition that occur during the term of this Agreement, including by providing tZERO with copies of any financial reports available after the date of this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable. Client acknowledges and agrees that tZERO, in performing the services hereunder: (a) will rely on

 

 

 

tzero_logo.jpg

 

the publicly available information and other information or data received from Client and its Representatives without independent investigation or verification thereof by tZERO; and (b) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information received from Client or its Representatives or from prospective investors, whether or not tZERO makes any independent verification thereof. To Client’s knowledge, all information made available by Client or its Representatives to tZERO under this Agreement or contained in any offering statement (together with any updates, supplements, or amendments thereto) and related materials (collectively, the “Offering Materials”) or supplemental information provided to prospective investors will be, during the period of engagement of tZERO under this Agreement, complete and correct in all material respects and will not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In addition, any and all projections (financial or otherwise) provided by Client or its Representatives to tZERO will be prepared in good faith and, in Client’s business judgment, based on assumptions that are reasonable. Additionally, Client or its Representatives will promptly notify tZERO if it learns of any material inaccuracy or misstatement in, or material omission from any information previously delivered to tZERO. Client understands that in rendering services hereunder tZERO does not provide accounting, legal or tax advice and will rely upon the advice of counsel to Client and other advisors to Client as to accounting, legal, tax and other matters relating to the Offering or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

 

6.2.    All Offering Materials shall be the responsibility of Client, except for any portion of such Offering Materials provided by tZERO or its Representatives to Client in writing expressly for the inclusion in such Offering Materials, and Company shall update and supplement the Offering Statement and other relevant Offering Materials prior to any closing of an Offering to reflect developments affecting Client. The Offering Statement will include all information to be provided to investors under Regulation A under the Securities Act. Client shall be responsible for compliance with filing requirements of the securities laws of states and other jurisdictions. Client will not, for a period of 30 days following the final closing date of the Offering, offer for sale or sell any Securities unless, in the opinion of Client’s legal counsel, concurred in by tZERO’s legal counsel, such offer or sale does not jeopardize the availability of exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements under applicable federal securities laws, state “blue sky” laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction with respect to the Offering. For the purpose of assisting with its recordkeeping and due diligence, Client agrees to provide copies of its filing pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act in connection with the Offering. In all events, Client acknowledges that tZERO has a right to rely on, and will rely on, the representations and warranties of Client and the investors set forth in the definitive documentation for the Offering.

 

6.3.    Client further represents and warrants to tZERO that no filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, non-objection, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any applicable court or governmental or regulatory authority, instrumentality or agency (each of the foregoing being referred to as a “Government Entity”) is necessary or required in order for Client to enter into this Agreement or to issue, offer and sell Securities in an Offering contemplated hereunder, and there is no applicable directive, rule, order, agreement or communication, either written or oral, of or with any Government Entity that would adversely affect or preclude or be expected to adversely affect or preclude the ability of Client to enter into this Agreement, to perform its responsibilities and obligations hereunder, or to issue, offer and sell any Securities in an Offering contemplated hereunder.

 

7.    Independent Contractor; No Fiduciary Obligations. Client acknowledges that it is a sophisticated business enterprise and has retained tZERO for the limited purposes set forth in this Agreement and that tZERO is an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement should be construed as creating an agency relationship between the parties. It is understood that tZERO shall not, and shall not be entitled to, enter into a definitive agreement relating to an Offering on behalf of Client and that Client is under no obligation to enter into any definitive agreement or proceed with an Offering, and that tZERO has no obligation to underwrite, purchase or place any Securities of Client for its own account or for resale to third parties or to provide, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or structuring in respect of, any type of financing (including without limitation by means of any loan, lending or credit facility, any debt or loan participations or any similar financing or debt obligation) by virtue of this Agreement and will have no liability to Client if an Offering is not completed. The parties further acknowledge and agree that their respective rights and obligations as set forth herein are contractual. Accordingly, Client disclaims any intention to impose any fiduciary duties or obligations on tZERO by virtue of

 

 

 

tzero_logo.jpg

 

the engagement contemplated by this Agreement, and tZERO will not be deemed to have any fiduciary duties or obligations to any investors or any other persons, Client, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, securityholders, partners, members, affiliates or creditors as a result of this Agreement or the services to be provided pursuant hereto. Client covenants and agrees that any agreements documenting the sale of the Securities in an Offering will include provisions reasonably acceptable to tZERO in which the purchasers (a) disclaim and disavow any reliance upon tZERO or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or affiliates in connection with the Offering and related agreements documenting the sale of the Securities in the Offering; (b) state that they relied solely on their own independent investigation before entering into the purchase agreement; (c) agree that all claims, obligations, liabilities, demands or causes of action that may be based upon, arise under or relate to the agreements documenting the sale of the Securities in the Offering or the negotiation, execution or performance of the same may be made only against Client; (d) waive and release all liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action and obligations against tZERO or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or affiliates in connection with the agreements documenting the sale of the Securities in the Offering and any transactions contemplated thereby; and (e) agree that tZERO will be a third party beneficiary of such provisions. tZERO will not have any rights or obligations in connection with the Offering contemplated by this Agreement other than those expressly provided in this Agreement. Client acknowledges that tZERO has had, and may currently or in the future have, investment banking or other relationships with parties that operate in Client’s industry or that otherwise may provide tZERO with information of interest to Client, and that tZERO has no obligation to disclose such relationships or information to Client.

 

8.    Indemnification. This Section 8 is intended to supersede Sections 23 and 24 of the Terms and Conditions. In consideration of tZERO’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, Client will indemnify and hold harmless tZERO, its affiliates, and each of its and their respective directors, executive committees, officers, managers, members, partners, securityholders, advisers, agents, employees, and controlling persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the extent and as provided in Schedule B, which forms a part of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section and Schedule B will be binding upon any successors or permitted assigns of Client and will survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

9.    Tail. If this Agreement is terminated before completion of an Offering, tZERO will be entitled to 3% of the gross proceeds of an offering, or 1% of the gross proceeds of an offering if EF Hutton is the placement agent for such offering, if (i) at any time prior to the expiration of 12 months after the Effective Date (the “Tail Period”) the offering is consummated or (ii) Client enters into an agreement, commitment or understanding, definitive or otherwise, relating to the offering during the term of this Agreement or during the Tail Period, and such offering is ultimately completed; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 3 herein, no termination of the engagement hereunder shall affect Client’s obligations to pay any Fee in accordance with this Section 9 or out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Section 10.2 below to the extent provided for herein and to indemnify certain related persons and entities as provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the tail fee set forth in this Section 9 shall only be with respect to the Regulation A Offering of Client’s 3,000,000 shares of common stock and not for any other public offering, private placement, or otherwise.

 

10.    Fees; Expenses.

 

10.1.    Client shall pay tZERO a one-time consulting Fee of $10,000 and a due diligence Fee of $5,000 for the Offering (“One-Time Fee”). Payment of the One-Time Fee will be due and payable by Client on or before the Effective Date of this Agreement

 

10.2.    As compensation for the Purchased Services, Client shall pay to tZERO a fee (the “Offering Fee”) equal to 3% of the gross proceeds received by Client from Investors. Any such Offering Fee shall be paid by Client to tZERO in full upon the consummation of the Offering. In respect of an Offering that is to be consummated in a series of closings or fundings, such fee shall be due and payable in cash concurrent with the closing of each sale of the Securities that is part of the Offering. For the avoidance of doubt, no fee payable to any other financial advisor by Client in connection with an Offering will reduce or otherwise affect the Offering Fee or the One-Time Fee payable to tZERO.

 

10.3.    Client shall reimburse tZERO for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel and other advisers, incurred by tZERO in connection with performing its obligations under this Agreement, including all fees or charges required or imposed by any governmental agency

 

 

 

tzero_logo.jpg

 

in connection with the Offering, by any third-party payment processor or for KYC and AML third party vendors in connection with the Offering; provided that the Client must pre-approve any expenses greater than $2,000 in writing, except for the FINRA Fee, third-party payment processor fees and third party KYC and AML vendor fees, which are hereby approved. Without limiting the foregoing, Client shall reimburse tZERO for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Corporate Financing fee, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, applicable to the Offering (the “FINRA Fee”).  Such FINRA Fee will be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Rule 5110.  tZERO shall pay the FINRA Fee directly to FINRA and provide to Client the Fed reference number for the applicable wire payment to FINRA, or other proof of payment, once such payment has been completed. All expenses, including all FINRA Fees, will be reimbursed by Client within 30 days of invoices for such expenses issued by tZERO. Client’s obligation to reimburse tZERO for out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to this Section will apply whether or not an Offering is completed. Client also will also be responsible for all other fees, charges, and expenses relating to an Offering, including the charges of its own counsel, accountants or other advisors, filing fees, printing charges, and related costs

 

11.    Tombstone Advertisements. Notwithstanding the Confidentiality obligations in the Terms and Conditions, tZERO may place customary “tombstone” advertisements and announcements, at its own expense, in financial and other newspapers and media describing its role in the Offering, and Client authorizes tZERO to use Client’s name and logo in any such advertisement and announcement; provided, that tZERO will not disclose the size of the Offering or proceeds received by Client and its securityholders, unless such information otherwise has been publicly disclosed. If requested by tZERO, Client will include a mutually acceptable reference to tZERO in any press release or other public announcement made by Client regarding the Offering.

Schedule B

 

Indemnification Terms and Conditions

 

 

(a)

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Client will promptly, upon demand:

 

 

(i)

indemnify and hold harmless tZERO Markets, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “tZERO”), and its and their respective directors, executive committees, officers, managers, members, partners, securityholders, advisers, agents, employees, and controlling persons within the meaning of the federal securities laws (tZERO and each such person being referred to herein as an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any losses, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses, or liabilities of any kind, including in respect of actual or threatened actions, proceedings, and investigations in respect thereof (“Claims”), whether or not such Indemnified Person is a potential or actual named party or witness (collectively, “Liabilities”) relating to, arising out of or in connection with, directly or indirectly, (A) tZERO’s engagement under the Agreement and the services rendered by tZERO in connection therewith or (B) Client’s actions or failures to act (including statements or omissions made or information provided by Client or its agents) or actions or failures to act by an Indemnified Person with Client’s consent or in reliance on Client’s actions or failures to act; and

 

 

(ii)

reimburse each Indemnified Person for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing for, responding to, pursuing or defending any such actual or threatened Claims in any jurisdiction, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened Claims to which any Indemnified Person is a party or witness, in each case as such expenses are incurred or paid.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client will not be responsible for any Liabilities or expenses pursuant to subsection (i)(A) of this clause (a) to the extent the same have been finally determined by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and directly from tZERO’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Client agrees that no Indemnified Person will have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to Client or its affiliates, directors, officers, agents, creditors, managers, members, securityholders, employees or controlling persons for or in connection with the Agreement and the services rendered by tZERO in connection therewith, except to the extent that any such Liabilities or expenses incurred by Client have resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnified Person shall be responsible for any consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive, or special damages of any nature or damages for lost profit.

 

 

(b)

Client will not, without tZERO’s written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder, whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party thereto, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from any Liabilities arising out of such claim, action or proceeding, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

 

 

(c)

If the foregoing indemnification is unavailable or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless in respect of any Liabilities (or related expenses) referred to in paragraph (a) of this Schedule B, then in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, Client will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Liabilities (and related expenses) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits (received or anticipated) to Client and its securityholders, on the one hand, and tZERO, on the other hand, of the Offering or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, then on the basis of such relative benefits and fault of each of Client and tZERO, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. For the purposes of the Agreement, the relative benefits to Client and its securityholders and to tZERO will be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total net proceeds

 

 

 

tzero_logo.jpg

 

 

 

received or contemplated to be received by Client or its securityholders, as the case may be, in connection with the Offering, whether or not any such Offering is consummated, bears to (ii) the fees actually paid or to be paid to tZERO under the Agreement (excluding reimbursable expenses); and the relative fault will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether an untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Offering Materials relates to information supplied by Client or by tZERO, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent any such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Indemnified Persons be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the aggregate amount of fees actually received by tZERO under the Agreement.

 

 

(d)

An Indemnified Person will promptly notify Client in writing as to any matter for which indemnification may be sought and will provide copies of all relevant documentation to Client, but the failure to so notify Client or provide such documentation will not relieve Client from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder, to the extent that Client is not materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. After such notice is given, Client will have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder, provided that Client engages counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, notifies the Indemnified Person of such engagement, and assumes the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, in which event, except as provided below, Client will not be liable for the fees and expenses of any other counsel retained by any Indemnified Person in connection with such action or proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Any Indemnified Person will have the right to participate in any action or proceeding the defense of which Client will have so assumed, and to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) Client and such Indemnified Person will have agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include Client and such Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would, in the opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Person, present a conflict of interest or be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between Client and such Indemnified Person, in each case under applicable rules of professional ethics, or (iii) Client shall not have assumed the defense of any action or proceeding and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) in a timely manner.

 

 

(e)

Client’s indemnification, reimbursement, and contribution obligations hereunder will be in addition to any liability which Client may otherwise have, and will not be limited by any rights tZERO or any other Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise and will survive the termination or completion of the engagement contemplated by the Agreement. Client consents to personal jurisdiction and service and venue in any court in which any claim that is subject to indemnification hereunder is brought against tZERO or any other Indemnified Person.

 

 

(f)

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule B will have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement to which this Schedule B is attached.

 

 

(g)

In the event Client proposes to engage in any sale, distribution or liquidation of all or a significant part of its assets, or any merger or consolidation and Client is not to be the surviving or resulting corporation or entity in such merger or consolidation, Client will give prompt prior notice thereof to tZERO and will make proper provision in a manner reasonably satisfactory to tZERO so that Client’s obligations hereunder are expressly assumed by the other party or parties to such transaction.

Re:         Offering Circular on Form 1-A

           CIK: 0001908239

 

Dear Board Members:

 

You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection with the filing by Invest Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”), of an Offering Circular on Form 1-A (as amended or supplemented, the “Offering Circular”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Offering Circular is filed pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

 

This opinion is submitted pursuant to the applicable rules of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Offering Circular and the offering by the Company of up to 3,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as described in the Offering Circular.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon original, certified, conformed, photostat or other copies of (a) the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, of the Company; (b) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the issuance of the Shares; (c) the Offering Circular and the exhibits thereto; (d) the agreements, instruments and documents pursuant to which the Shares were or are to be issued; (e) applicable provisions of the corporate laws of the State of Wyoming and published judicial and administrative interpretations thereof; and (f) such other matters of law as we have deemed necessary for the expression of the opinion herein contained. In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, and the conformity to originals or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, photostat or other copies. In passing upon certain corporate records and documents of the Company, we have necessarily assumed the correctness and completeness of the statements made or included therein by the Company, and we express no opinion thereon.

 

Based upon and subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Offering Circular has been qualified by order of the Commission, the Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms and conditions contemplated by and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Circular and that certain Subscription Agreement, a form which is attached to the Offering Circular as Exhibit 4.1, and upon receipt by the Company of the agreed upon consideration therefor, will be legally issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States and the Wyoming Business Corporations Act, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The foregoing reference to the Wyoming Business Corporations Act includes the statutory provisions and also all reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws.

 

This opinion has been prepared for use in connection with the Offering Circular, and this opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose without our express written consent. Our opinion expressed herein is limited to the matters stated and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Offering Circular. In giving such permission, we do not admit hereby that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable law.
