Partnership represents a $3.75M stock-for-stock deal
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 11, 2024) - GlobexUS Holdings Corp. ("Horizon Fintex"), the pioneering force powering the regulated tokenized-securities exchange Upstream [1], has entered into a $3.75m share exchange agreement with Diamond Lake Minerals, Inc. (OTC Pink: DLMI) [2], a multi-strategy operating company that specializes in digital assets, SEC-registered tokenized-securities, and tokenized commercial and community real estate.
Horizon Fintex issued 1,250 common shares, priced at $3,000 per share in exchange for 1,000,0000 newly issued common shares in Diamond Lake Minerals. The share exchange partnership is for the mutual benefit of bringing new issuers to list on Upstream, increasing Upstream's trading liquidity, and providing economic benefit to each other's shareholders. Contemporaneously with the share exchange partnership, Diamond Lake Minerals also entered into a Cooperation, Marketing & Referral Agreement with a Horizon Fintex subsidiary as a commercial advisor to introduce and refer issuers seeking to list on Upstream.
Diamond Lake Minerals comes with an impressive portfolio of issuers and a track record of a compliance-first tokenization approach for traditional-equity companies. Upstream, a MERJ Exchange market, brings a regulated liquidity venue for the portfolio of Diamond Lake Minerals issuers to reach international investors (excluding U.S. and Canada) who can trade tokenized-securities with a credit/debit card, PayPal, USD, and digital currency in the form of USDC stablecoin.
Uniquely on Upstream, investors are directly connected to the exchange with their Upstream trading app, which eliminates the need for stockbroker middlemen. Investors trade in real-time 20 hours a day, 5 days a week with streamlined onboarding, transparent orderbooks where everyone sees level-2 bids and offers, and the software was designed to prevent short selling, stock lending, wash trades, payment for order flow, and other possible market manipulation techniques thanks to Horizon Fintex's Ethereum smart-contract technologies.
"Diamond Lake Minerals is a fellow believer in the tokenized-security business, and we're thrilled to have them as a shareholder and commercial partner to help expedite our mission of ushering in the future of securities offerings and trading using blockchain," says Horizon CEO and Upstream Co-Creator Brian Collins. "Creating a streamlined onramp for DLMI issuers to deposit shares and list or dual list on Upstream for secondary trading provides issuers with expanded liquidity opportunities and access to Upstreams' growing investor community."
"The DLMI management team along with our advisors are proud to align our efforts with the highly professional and seasoned executives at Horizon Fintex that delivered the Upstream exchange. This is another example of our relentless pursuit to couple successful businesses to the future of DLMI international operations. We are committed to continue intellectual pooling of visionary management teams and technologies to create shareholder value in DLMI," said Michael Reynolds, President & Director of Diamond Lake Minerals, Inc.
"When I took over DLMI in August of 2023, we set out to build what we believe will be the model of all future public companies, and I knew we could not accomplish that without international partners that know and understand securities laws, rules and regulations, and how we can properly and legally accomplish what we set out to do in the current regulatory frameworks. We found all of that in Horizon Fintex, along with an impressive suite of blockchain technologies, and this partnership is yet another major milestone in the DLMI journey as we continue to build this great company, and strongly execute on our vision and plans," said Brian J. Esposito CEO, Diamond Lake Minerals, Inc.
