BOLTON HOLDING LTD

Company Profile

Emerging Technology, such as Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence has enormous potential to reduce intermediaries, decrease friction and improve the efficiency of traditional legacy businesses.

This is exactly why we are excited to leverage it in our operations in order to bring more value to our Investors, Shareholders, and Communities where we operate.

In 2014, I consolidated various related companies into what is today known as Bolton Holding Group with the mandate of improving our service offerings to our existing customers and increasing returns to our Investors and Shareholders by researching new marketplaces and implementing new technologies.

Since 2016 we have been exploring the world of Financial Technology as a viable alternative to the legacy financial services.

I am proud of my team of 35 full-time professionals working with me from over 15 countries, whose skills, knowledge and experience is exceptionally compli-mentary and span over multiple disciplines, including commodities mining and trading, financial services, Blockchain & AI, finance, as well as legal & regulatory.

CEO’s Welcome Message

Technology is already disrupt-ing every business model, and any company that is not put-ting technology as a corner stone of its operations, will be left behind.

BOLTON HOLDING LTD

Dr. Roberto Diomedi President and CEO, Bolton Holding Group

Building a relationship of trust and confidence for today and tomorrow.

“”

We even have a retired football coach on our team, after all even the best performing team needs encouragement and hard talk every now and again.

It is after thorough deliberation and risk analysis that we decided to leverage Blockchain technology as a means of taking the traditional legacy business into the 21st cen-tury by issuing a blockchain native digital payment token – Bolton Coin (BFCL).

The Bolton Coin has strong use cases within our business ecosystem and supports our investment strategies. Bol-ton Coin ensures the provision of smooth transactional payment in relation to the precious stones and com-modities trading, it is used for settlement and clearance for our financial services offerings, ensures immediate distribution of dividends to Investors and Stakeholders, and provides transparency in our charitable and not-for-profit work that we undertake.

Our investment strategy is based on fundamentals - not speculation, in the same way, we build strong and last-ing relationships with our Customers and Investors. Our Stakeholders become our partners and therefore an inte-gral and essential part of our business.

Our business strategy is built on the idea of respect for the environment in which we operate and respect-ing the communities where we build our business.

We are democratising access to investment opportuni-ties while building a relationship of trust and confidence with our Stakeholders for today and tomorrow.

Gold and Diamond trading has always been the strategic business for Bolton, we hold the required export licenses from key West African countries and have strong business relation-ships with key customers across Europe and the Middle East. Now we are in the process of commencing our own mining operations, which will boost the Company profits and take us to the next level.

Mr. Wael Marzouk Head of Commodity Trading, Bolton Holding Group

”BOLTON HOLDING LTD

Bolton Holding Group believes that the future is bright for mining in Africa. Over 30% of the world’s global mineral reserves are found in Af-rica. However, less than 5% of the total global mineral exploration and extraction budget is in-vested in the continent. The opportunities in the mining and resources sector are immense. There are many obstacles, of course, starting from lack of basic infrastruc-ture through to complex regulatory regimes.

Some forward-looking governments, as part of the quest to diversify and capitalize upon their mineral-rich countries, are realizing the need for modern, open and transparent dealings with the international mining community.

We pride ourselves on having built stable work-ing relationships with local artisanal mining communities and Governments in West Africa, which gives us access to trading raw diamonds and gold.

We have already acquired a diamond consession in Angola and currently negotiating concession agreements in West & North Africa and South America.

Holders of Bolton Coin get priority access to our gold and diamond trading platform.

Innovative FinTech capabilities will radically change banking services. New types of Banking models will emerge, they will be customer-cen-tric, leveraging the technology to raise the bar in customer service. User experience must be the cornerstone of every provider of financial services

BOLTON HOLDING LTD

The Digital Revolution in banking and financial ser-vices has only just begun.

More and more consumers around the globe are ex-pecting top notch digital user experience and they are willing to move their holdings to a financial ser-vices provider that offers a compelling digital-only proposition.

Building a Digital Banking Platform gives Bolton Holding Group the opportunity to take customer service to the next level at the same time offering the possibility for much higher automation and re-duction in related cost.

Essentially, we believe digitization takes banks from being product providers to offering a continuous service, helping customers to better understand their financial and commercial affairs and make smarter decisions.

We take our Digital Bank further, we look at the blockchain and the rise of the Digital Assets, and line with the demand from the clients we are incor-porating the Digital Assets offering in a legal and regulatory compliant manner. Leveraging latest cy-bersecurity technology we will ensure that private, as well as institutional investors, are able to fully participate in the Digital Economy.

BOLTON HOLDING LTD

Crypto Assets, such as cryptocurrencies, and most recently Security Tokens and Asset-Backed Tokens, have surged in popularity and investor interest. While cryptocurrencies bear a promise perhaps as profound as the Internet itself, they suffer from substantial price volatility, thereby hindering their use as a medium of exchange and unit of account – two of the three func-tions of money.

One proposed solution is the creation of a stable val-ue coin (often called a “stablecoin”), whereby an issuer distributes a cryptographic token to customers in ex-change for a specified fiat currency, like the Euro, at a fixed 1:1 exchange rate.

A second solution is to issue Security Tokens. Security tokens are cryptographic tokens that confer some sort of rights to the token holders, such as payment of divi-dends, share profits, a portion of ownership in income generating assets, voting rights etc. Basically, a tradi-tional ‘security’ instrument that has been tokenized, such as shares of a company, corporate bonds, rights to ownership as represented by an option, etc.

Bolton Payment Token

Another solution is to issue Asset-Backed Tokens, with commodities such as gold, diamonds, and oil being to-kenised. Other illiquid assets are being tokenized as well, such as property, art, real earth commodities, etc

Bolton Holding Group has decided to issue its own Pay-ment Token - Bolton Coin - and structure its Corporate In-vestment Program Solutions by combining the benefits of all of the above-mentioned structures in order to bring the best possible combination to the market.

Our Investment Solutions Programme is structured as a traditional Corporate Bond and Shariah compliant Sukuk offering that is very well understood by the finan-cial industry and by investors at large. For participants in the Investment Programme, Bolton Holding Group guarantees repurchase of the Bolton Coin at 0.9 Euros per token, thus ensuring that the downside is protected while upside (increase in the Bolton Coin price) is for the investor to capitalize on.

This Guarantee is backed by the 1,6 billion GBP of As-sets of Bolton Holding Group, consisting of rear earth commodities, precious stones and metals, as well as Government Bonds.

Bolton Coin is a cryptographic token that is built on the Ethereum network according to the ERC20 standard for tokens.

Blockchain is the future and it is already disrupting many industries. Banking and Financial Services industry is full of friction, inefficiencies, intermediaries and not secure due to its centralised design. Its is ripe for disruption!

And Blockchain is already creating seamless, frictionless and secure operations minimising intermediaries. We, at Bolton Holding Group are taking it further. Join the future!

“ Eventually everything will be tokenised on a blockchain. Just like paper shares gradu-ally became entries in a company registrar’s database, just like cash and coins in our wallets became entries in a bank’s ledger. Now, moving assets onto a decentralised ledger is simply the next step in our digital evolution. There is no going back!
