Paths to Raising Capital

tZERO supports a number of paths to raising capital

Reg A+

Key Facts

Overview

Regulation A+ allows U.S. or Canadian-based companies to offer and sell securities to the public, but with more limited disclosure requirements than what is required for publicly reporting companies. Regulation A+ allows companies to raise money under two different tiers.

Companies that pursue a Regulation A+ offering are required to file an offering statement on Form 1-A with the SEC, which includes the offering circular and other disclosure about the offering, as well as two years of audited financial statements. Companies relying on Tier 1 do not have ongoing reporting obligations other than a final report on the status of the offering. Companies relying on Tier 2 do have ongoing reporting obligations, including annual, semi-annual, current, and exit reports.

Reg D

Key Facts

Overview

Regulation D under the Securities Act provides various exemptions from the registration requirements, enabling companies to offer and sell their securities without having to register the offering with the SEC. tZERO supports two of these exemptions:

After 90 days, the shares can be resold among accredited investors. The shares are able to be freely resold following a 1-year lockup to retail and accredited investors.

Reg CF

Key Facts

Overview

Regulation CF allows U.S.-based companies to offer and sell securities to the public, but with more limited initial and ongoing disclosure requirements than what is required for publicly reporting companies.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Tokenization, Fractionalization, &
Blockchain Enhancements

tZERO’s proprietary technology can fractionalize and/or tokenize a company’s capital raise or existing capital structure, including new or existing funds and illiquid assets.

What's the Difference?

Fractionalization

Fractionalization refers to the process of dividing a high-value asset into smaller, tradable units, allowing multiple investors to own fractions of the same asset. 

For example, a work of art worth $10MM can be fractionalized into a million shares at $10/share. Any asset can be fractionalized and doing so allows the asset owner to appreciate the following benefits:

Fractionalize your asset to democratize access

Fractionalization makes assets more divestible and tradeable. Fractionalization extends beyond equities to assets, such as real estate, funds, art, film, and more, fundamentally changing how we invest in these assets. It opens up access to illiquid assets that were previously reserved for the wealthy, ultimately expanding the opportunity to own.

Benefits:

Price Discovery - Identify the market value of your asset.

Enhanced Liquidity - Boost liquidity by dividing your asset into multiple shares.

Democratized Access - By fractionalizing an asset to a lower price point than possible without fractionalization, the asset can attract attention
from investors who might otherwise not be able or qualified to participate in a high-priced, high-risk purchase.

Monetization Opportunities - Monetize your asset.

Tokenization

Tokenization, also called digitization, is the process of adding digital elements to an asset through smart contract technology that is visible on the blockchain.
Example: If a real estate developer tokenized a portion of the equity in its property, the creation of the issuance, the recording of the transaction, the transfers of securities, and the recording of shareholder information all occur digitally on the blockchain.

Tokenize your securities in a regulatory-compliant manner

Tokenization is a process that utilizes innovative technology to add a digital element to a security. This can be in the form of immutable ownership records visible on a blockchain, or by creating a security solely issued on a blockchain with built-in rules known as a smart contract that governs all aspects of the blockchain.

Benefits:

Increased Transparency - Cap table transparency for both companies and investors.

Streamlined Back Office Processes - Reduces costly manual back-office processes.

Greater Customizability - Issuers can customize their offerings through smart contract technology: restrict investor type & location, grant/withhold voting rights, etc.

Automated Corporate Actions - Investor reporting, distribution, and corporate transactions (i.e. dividend payments, stock splits) are automated.

Instant Settlement - Settlement of securities is instant.

Regulatory Compliance - Smart contract technology allows for regulatory and legal requirements to be programmed into the set of rules governing the blockchain.
