Working Capital Loans

The Company has been growing its Total Transaction Value (TTV) very strongly and there is a requirement for increased working capital to fund the T+2 settlements. The Company has entered into a number of related party loan agreements while it negotiates a longer-term working capital facility.

The Company’s subsidiary, Global Internet Ventures Pty Ltd. (“Global Internet“), has entered into loan agreements (collectively, the “Loan Agreements” and each a “Loan Agreement“) with each of Apollo Capital Management Pty Ltd. (“Apollo“) and Carosa Corporation BV (“CCBV“), pursuant to which Apollo and CCBV will provide Global Internet with a revolving credit facility in the principal sums of up to AUD$4,000,000 and AUD$2,000,000, respectively (the “Loans“). The credit facility with Apollo accrues interest at the rate of 30% per annum and the credit facility with CCBV accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum and both Loans mature on November 30, 2024.

The Company is not issuing any securities, paying any bonus, commission, or finder’s fees in connection with the Loans and the Loans are not convertible, directly or indirectly, into equity or voting securities of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The Loans are repayable at any time without penalty.

Multilateral Instrument 61-101

Apollo and CCBV are affiliated companies of the Company’s Chairman, Domenic Carosa, and as a result, the entering into of the Loan Agreements constitute a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Loans have been determined to be exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval based on sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, as the Company does not have securities listed or quoted on any of the specified markets listed in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and at the time of the entering into of the Loan Agreements, the fair market value of the Loans does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Existing Blockchains Can’t Adopt Post-Quantum Cryptography Without Significant User Impact, Says Johann Polecsak

Published

on

existing-blockchains-can’t-adopt-post-quantum-cryptography-without-significant-user-impact,-says-johann-polecsak

Johann Polecsak argues that existing blockchains face significant challenges in adopting post-quantum cryptography without causing substantial disruption to users. This assessment highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of transitioning to new cryptographic standards in blockchain networks.

Post-quantum cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to attacks from quantum computers, which have the potential to break traditional cryptographic schemes. While post-quantum cryptography offers enhanced security, implementing it in existing blockchain networks poses technical, operational, and usability challenges.

Polecsak suggests that transitioning to post-quantum cryptography could require significant changes to blockchain protocols, consensus mechanisms, and user interfaces. These changes may disrupt existing workflows, require modifications to software and hardware infrastructure, and necessitate coordination among network participants.

Furthermore, Polecsak emphasizes the importance of ensuring backward compatibility and interoperability during the transition to post-quantum cryptography. This is crucial to prevent fragmentation of the blockchain ecosystem and maintain continuity for users and applications.

Polecsak’s assessment underscores the complexities and trade-offs involved in adopting post-quantum cryptography in existing blockchain networks. While the transition promises improved security against quantum threats, it requires careful planning, coordination, and investment to minimize disruption and ensure a smooth transition for users and stakeholders. As the field of post-quantum cryptography continues to evolve, blockchain projects will need to carefully evaluate their options and strategies for implementing these new cryptographic standards.

Tech Trends Shaping Retail: From AI to Blockchain

Published

tech-trends-shaping-retail:-from-ai-to-blockchain

Various technology trends are discussed that are shaping the retail industry, from artificial intelligence (AI) to blockchain. These trends are driving significant changes in how retailers operate and engage with customers, offering new opportunities for innovation and growth.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is highlighted as a key technology trend that is revolutionizing various aspects of the retail industry. AI-powered solutions enable retailers to analyze vast amounts of data, personalize customer experiences, optimize supply chain operations, and enhance decision-making processes. From chatbots and virtual assistants to predictive analytics and recommendation engines, AI is enabling retailers to deliver more personalized and efficient services to their customers.

Blockchain technology is another trend shaping the retail industry, offering benefits such as enhanced transparency, security, and traceability in supply chains and transactions. By leveraging blockchain, retailers can improve inventory management, streamline payments, prevent counterfeit products, and enhance trust and accountability throughout the supply chain. Additionally, blockchain enables retailers to create decentralized marketplaces and loyalty programs, providing new opportunities for customer engagement and loyalty.

Other technology trends discussed in the article include augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), which are transforming the way consumers shop and interact with products online and in-store. By enabling immersive shopping experiences, AR and VR technologies allow retailers to showcase products more effectively, reduce returns, and increase customer engagement and satisfaction.

Technology trends such as AI, blockchain, AR, and VR are reshaping the retail landscape, driving innovation, and enabling retailers to meet the evolving needs and expectations of consumers in an increasingly digital world. As retailers continue to embrace these technologies, they are poised to unlock new opportunities for growth and differentiation in the competitive retail market.
