INX has named a low-profile Israeli outfit to underwrite its reported $117 million initial public offering (IPO) later this year.
- In an amended filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week, the Gibraltar-based crypto and security token exchange confirmed it had chosen A-Labs Finance and Advisory to underwrite its IPO.
- A private company based outside of Tel Aviv, INXâs website names digital asset manager Silver Castle as another of its clients.
- A-Labs has received a $500,000 fee to underwrite the offering and will receive an additional $500,000 should the IPO take more than $10 million in investment. Should the sale reach the $117 million hard cap, A-Labs can expect to take home a total of $8 million.
- A-Labs is only able to promote the sale to non-U.S. investors.
- INX's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month â which put the expected IPO price in the middle of its previous target range to raise $117 million in proceeds â didnât name A-Labs as the underwriters.
- INXâs executive managing director, Alan Silbert, is the brother of Barry Silbert, the founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group, CoinDeskâs parent company.
- Per this weekâs filing, A-Labs had agreed to manage INXâs IPO in September 2017 and has slowly accumulated more than 10% of INXâs common stock.
- A definite IPO date, as well as the venue, have yet to be confirmed.
UPDATE: (Aug. 14, 16:47 UTC): Changes sixth paragraph to note the most recent IPO target is within the prior range.
