Here are some other ways to learn more about us:
¹ The company currently has 10,000,000 equity tokens outstanding, which exactly match 1:1 the number of shares outstanding for the company. The share capital is fully paid up and the company is registered in the Registry of Commerce in Geneva, Switzerland, with company number CHE-405.649.724. The company is regulated as a financial intermediary in Switzerland and affiliated with the Association Romande des Intermédiaires Financiers with company number 3354. Official extracts are set out in the Information Memorandum.
² An additional 2,000,000 tokens will be minted by the company at the time of listing, in addition to the 10,000,000 tokens outstanding. These tokens will be allocated in the future to attract new employees and funding to the company. It is envisaged that these tokens will be granted or sold as the company executes on its growth plans. These Tokens will be subject to lock-up restrictions. Beyond these Tokens, it is not possible for any further Tokens to be issued. There is no further minting facility for the Tokens, since the finishMinting function has been called.
³ For swapping between wCRES and CRES, see our detailed article here:
⁴ US Persons will not be allowed to be registered (required to swap to CRES tokens) until CrescoFin receives assurance from the US SEC (which may never come) that US Persons are permitted to receive CRES tokens, unless they demonstrate that they are not in violation of US law (for example, being an Accredited Investor or similar under US securities legislation). The purchase of shares in foreign companies is permitted under US law. The tokens being offered are a seasoned offering, not an initial offering from the company, and fully comply with Swiss law. There should be no restriction on purchasing the shares (wCRES tokens) by US Persons, however, to be extra cautious, we will not be registering US Person unless they are qualified investors.

⁷ The wrapped token (wCRES) is a freely tradable ERC20 token. The team has no control (no admin keys) over this token; it is non-custodial. To register to vote and receive dividends, the tokenholder needs to swap wCRES tokens for CRES tokens. This requires basic KYC and our in-house compliance officer has control over this process. We have a non-arbitrary process: if you are on a Swiss government sanctions list, you will not be registered. If you are not on a sanctions list, you will be registered.
