Valereum Plc has entered into legally binding heads of terms agreement to raise US$200 million of Royalty and Streaming (R & S) capital from Valereum QGP-SP (“V-QGP”).

The Company will also pursue a listing on a U.S. National Exchange (NASDAQ/NYSE).

The strategic investment unlocks significant opportunity for Valereum to:

➔ Accelerate the development and deployment of its crypto, blockchain and tokenisation platforms through its AI-driven Royalty and Streaming platforms

➔ Build out a broad-based Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) to maximise share price growth

➔ Advance strategic acquisitions and partnerships within regulated financial and digital ecosystems that are synergistic, complementary and compatible with AI-driven R & S protocols

➔ Substantially strengthen its balance sheet and liquidity position through the injection of new equity;

➔ Expand internationally into new markets and technology verticals, consistent with our focus on AI-driven Royalty and Streaming tokenisation ecosystems and Crypto Banking & Payments, especially via “as a service” white label offerings

➔ Pursue a listing on a U.S. National Exchange (NASDAQ/NYSE).

Under the terms of the agreement, VALEREUM QGP-SP will issue USD $200m asset-backed funding Royalty and Streaming facility to support the Company’s strategic growth initiatives and operational expansion.

In return for this capital commitment, the Company will grant Valereum QGP-SP a 1yr option to purchase up to a maximum 49.9% (of the prevailing share capital of the company) of Ordinary Shares in Valereum Plc, with the conversion price agreed between the Company and V-QGP, reflecting the quantum and quality of capital committed.

Upon any option conversion, the subscription for Ordinary Shares by VALEREUM QGP-SP will thus be in the form of an equity swap of USD $200,000,000 or other QGP-SP R & S secured VALEREUM QGP-SP facilities backed by an over collateralised pool of QGP-SP Royalty and Streaming mining assets. The Royalty and Streaming mining assets collateral is underwritten by Lloyds of London through International Rating Agencies such as A.M. BEST, Fitch, Moody’s and S&P, with a minimum rating of at least investment grade, providing institutional validation of asset values and embedded credit default protection.

Gary Cottle, Group CEO of Valereum, comments:

“The unprecedented scale of this agreement demonstrates the level of institutional belief in our strategy of uniting traditional and digital finance in a regulated framework. It gives us access to major asset-backed capital that can drive expansion, innovation and collaboration. These funds, and further debt and equity that are available working with QGP as a strategic capital partner, will be deployed to build out our Digital Asset Treasury program, a full stack Tokenisation ecosystem that has been thoroughly endorsed by QGP.”

James Bannon, Executive Chairperson of Valereum, adds:

“This announcement propels Valereum to the forefront of AI-driven Tokenisation. With decisive institutional backing and a U.S. National Exchange listing about to commence, we’re entering a new era of scale, influence, and market leadership.”
