          Bank Frick

     On January 12, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the Kuno Frick Family Foundation ("Frick Foundation") to acquire a 30% interest in Bank Frick & Co AG ("Bank Frick"), a fully licensed bank based in Balzers, Liechtenstein, from the Frick Foundation. The completion of the investment is subject to approval from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority. Following the successful completion of this investment, the Company will have a two-year option to acquire a further 35% in Bank Frick.

     Bank Frick provides a complete suite of banking services, with one of its key strategic pillars being the provision of payment services and funding of financial technology opportunities. Bank Frick holds acquiring licenses from both Visa and MasterCard and operates a branch in London. The Company and Bank Frick have jointly identified many exciting opportunities that would require funding, including for the Company's working capital finance, card issuing and acquiring and transaction processing activities. The investment in Bank Frick provides the Company with a stable, long term and strategic relationship with a fully licensed bank. The Company and Bank Frick have agreed that approximately $30 million of the bank's free equity will be utilized as seed capital for a fund dedicated to the Company's future activities.
