“Reverse Takeover” by Blue Star Capital plc

SatoshiPay has signed an agreement with Blue Star Capital (BSC), an AIM listed investing company (Symbol: LON:BLU), which grants BSC exclusivity over an all-share acquisition of SatoshiPay until October 2018 (see BSC announcement). If completed, this acquisition would result in a so-called reverse takeover (RTO) of SatoshiPay by BSC.

An RTO is a type of merger that private companies engage in to become publicly traded without going through an initial public offering (IPO). The public company (in this case BSC) acquires the entire issued share capital of the private company (SatoshiPay) using BSC shares, whilst simultaneously undertaking a fundraise. Once completed, the private company has effectively become a publicly traded company.

Ever since BSC first invested in us in 2017, we considered the advantages of a potential RTO to get us listed. BSC currently owns 30.1% of SatoshiPay’s shares and is very familiar with our company, which makes them an ideal partner to bring us to market.

As of this morning, BSC’s shares are temporarily suspended from trading on AIM, and will only become available for trading again following publication of an Admission Document (AIM terminology for prospectus) in relation to the enlarged group, or in the event that negotiations in respect of the RTO are terminated.

Tony Fabrizi, CEO of Blue Star Capital: “Since making our initial investment in SatoshiPay we have been impressed by the progress made by the business and are therefore delighted to be working with SatoshiPay’s management team on their proposed listing. We believe an RTO is an excellent outcome both for SatoshiPay and for Blue Star Capital’s shareholders.”

Technology company investor Blue Star Capital said it had extended an exclusivity period regarding an agreement to acquire SatoshiPay.

The exclusivity period, which expires on 31 October, has been extended until 31 December, the company said.

Not sure whether that is good news or bad.

We are just spectators now George. Not much we can do about it either way.
This was always a speculative punt for me, but am hopeful!

I was sitting in a restaurant in Verona this summer and a chap walked past our table wearing a t-shirt with SatoshiPay emblazoned on the front. He turned out to be a german nerd (no disrespect intended) who was very upbeat and knowledgeable on the subject. Just on his input I would remain positive on the future of SatoshiPay.

Restoration of Trading, Termination of Exclusivity Agreement and General Update

Blue Star Capital plc (AIM: BLU) provides an update to the proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital of SatoshiPay Ltd ("SatoshiPay").

The Company announces that, due to difficult market conditions, it has agreed with SatoshiPay not to proceed with the proposed acquisition. The decision is not related to any findings arising from the extensive due diligence work performed on SatoshiPay in the period since the signing of the exclusivity agreement on 26 July 2018. As the period following the suspension was marked by significant uncertainty in global financial markets. It therefore proved more difficult to reach the targeted level of fundraise in the time anticipated. As such, SatoshiPay will continue to operate as a private company.

The extension of the exclusivity agreement, as announced on 20 December 2018, was due to expire on 31 January 2019 and has now been terminated by mutual consent of both parties. As such, the Company has requested that trading in its shares resumes on AIM at 7:30 a.m. on 24 January 2019.

The Company remains supportive of SatoshiPay and confident in its management team. The Company therefore looks forward to supporting SatoshiPay as it continues to further establish itself as a leader in blockchain based micropayment services.

Furthermore, as announced on 20 December 2018, the terms of the convertible loan notes issued by SatoshiPay ("CLN") to the Company were extended to become redeemable on 31 January 2019, after which the Company can convert or redeem the CLN at its election. An update will therefore be made to the market in due course.


The Company has an interest of 30.1 per cent. in SatoshiPay. Based on the valuation of SatoshiPay of £15m at its last fundraising round on 26 July 2018, the Company's shareholding in SatoshiPay is valued at approximately £4.5m. Combined with the carrying value of the Company's other investments totalling £1.5 million, the Company estimates its NAV per share to be approximately 0.30 pence following the Placing.

SatoshiPay Partner with Axel Springer SE
Blue Star Capital plc (AIM: BLU) provides an update in respect of its investee company SatoshiPay Ltd ("SatoshiPay").

The Company is pleased to announce that SatoshiPay has entered into a partnership agreement with Axel Springer SE ("Axel Springer"), one of the largest digital publishing houses in Europe.

Commencing on 31 January 2019, SatoshiPay and Axel Springer will begin working on a joint offering, enabling users to pay for content with the digital SatoshiPay Wallet. Powered by blockchain technology, the wallet will be used to send direct payments from the user's device to the publisher without any intermediary.

As part of the project, the payment solution is to be integrated into Axel Springer products in order to gain experience in user acceptance and generate initial revenues.

SatoshiPay Fundraise
The Company has been informed by SatoshiPay that it has completed a private fundraise, raising approximately £830k at a valuation of £15.0 million.
