Key Private Placement Allocations

The company is currently focused on diversifying its revenue streams through licenses and strategic business partnerships such as the Visa® (NASDAQ:V) Affiliate Member Partnership. By exploring new and existing avenues, the company aims to enhance its financial stability and long-term growth prospects. This expansion plan necessitates investment and collaboration in the upcoming quarters. In particular, the company is also intent on pursuing private label collaborations that can extend its reach into unexplored sectors and demographic groups. These collaborations, like white-label partnerships, will not only serve as an added stream of income but will also stimulate creativity and boost the company's competitive edge.

To achieve its goals, the company has set a target to break even within a year from RevoluPay EP, SL, a key subsidiary. RevoluPay EP, SL is actively working towards integrating with SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) and SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), which will streamline transactions and improve cost efficiency. This integration will also allow the company to issue International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) to customers, enabling them to conduct cross-border transactions seamlessly.

Lastly, a portion of the proceeds will not only be utilised to cover the operational expenses of the company, ensuring the fulfilment of short and mid-term cash flow requirements, but will also be dedicated towards enhancing the corporate profile and refining the end user experience. These concerted efforts aim to reinforce brand identity and foster a simplified, intuitive interaction for our customers.
