- Following the acquisition, Coinsilium will beneficially own 6.5% of the fully diluted share capital of Indorse

The Indorse Platform will use new models of tokenization to allow users to profit from sharing their skills and validating the claims of others on the Platform. Indorse successfully completed its Token Sale in September 2017, with proceeds reaching 27,422.98 ETH, equivalent to circa US$34m at current ETH prices.
The Company also confirms that the Indorse Option Agreement has now been extended to 31 March 2018. Should the Company choose to fully exercise its option under the agreement, the Company would receive a further 3.5% equity position in Indorse for a further payment of SGD 175,000, taking its total position in Indorse to circa 10%.
Malcolm Palle, Chairman of Coinsilium, stated: “Indorse’s successful public beta launch with more than 2,600 sign ups on the platform since the July ‘proof-of-concept’ launch, has confirmed our trust in the capabilities of their development team led by Gaurang Torvekar.
Indorse is proving to be a perfect match for our strategy of building value for our shareholders through identifying compelling early stage investment propositions lead by highly talented teams. I look forward to joining the Board of Indorse and to working closely with the team at this exciting stage in their journey.”
Gaurang Torvekar, Co-founder of Indorse, stated: “We see Coinsilium’s increased equity stake in Indorse as a significant vote of confidence in our achievements to date, following our successful token sale, and trust in our capacity to rise to the challenge of competing with the largest social media platforms. We now have a solid team building the future generation of decentralised social networks and we feel the spike of interest in blockchain by the general public will accelerate Indorse’s market penetration. We are happy to welcome Coinsilium’s Chairman, Malcolm Palle, to our board and look forward to working with him as we take our company to the next level.”
