INX Agrees to Sell I.L.S. Brokers to Accelerate Growth in Real-World Assets Tokenization and Trading Platform

Strategic Transaction Enhances INX’s Focus on Digital Asset Innovation

TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2024 /CNW/ – The INX Digital Company, Inc. (Cboe CA: INXD) (OTCQB: INXDF) (INXATS: INX) (the “Company” or “INX”), is pleased to announce the sale of I.L.S. Brokers Ltd. (“ILSB”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of INX,  to an arm’s length UK-based global financial services firm, for a total amount of US$4MUS$5M (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is expected to close on or about November 30, 2024. This strategic decision aligns with INX’s ongoing commitment to focusing on its Real-World Assets trading platform and expanding its leadership in the digital asset ecosystem.

ILSB, which INX acquired back in 2021, has been an interdealer broker for traditional assets. The decision to sell ILSB allows INX to concentrate on its primary objective — developing and enhancing its on-chain Real World Assets trading platform.

The sale of ILSB represents a pivotal move in INX’s strategy to allocate resources more efficiently toward the development of its Real-World Assets trading platform. By divesting from ILSB, INX is enhancing its capabilities to drive innovation and capitalize on the growing demand for regulated digital assets within this space.

Shy Datika, CEO of INX, commented on the transaction: “This sale underscores our strategic focus on the Real-World Assets market and the potential it holds for future growth. By reinvesting the proceeds from the ILSB sale, we are accelerating our efforts to expand INX’s footprint in the Real-World Assets trading platform, providing our users with even more opportunities to engage with innovative financial products. We believe this move strengthens our ability to deliver long-term value to our shareholders and solidifies our position as a leader in the digital asset industry.”

The proceeds from this sale will be directed towards furthering INX’s mission to expand the Real-World Assets trading platform. This includes enhancing the company’s platform to facilitate a more seamless and secure trading experience, as well as exploring new opportunities within this rapidly evolving sector. A portion of the purchase price will be held back for a period of 12 months pending any indemnification claims under the share purchase agreement governing the Transaction.

This transaction exemplifies INX’s commitment to leveraging its strengths in the digital asset ecosystem to create a more robust and diverse product offering. The company remains dedicated to driving innovation, expanding access to capital markets, and delivering superior value to its global community of traders and investors.
