No Shareholder Control

None of the products currently offers a redemption program, and shares are not redeemable. Regulatory approval from the Central Bank of Ireland would be required, but there are no current plans to seek such approval.
Lack Of Liquidity And Transfer Restrictions

Authorisation of Stock
The Notice of Restrictions on Duties and Transfers.
Membership rights in AKA Blockchains may differ significantly from other LLCs, including restrictions on fiduciary duties, ownership transfer, withdrawal, capital returns, and dissolution.
Products require a 48-month holding period with no redemption program, making them unsuitable for those unable to bear digital asset risks and illiquidity for at least 4 years.
No assurances exist for a resale market after the holding period or the price at which shares may sell. This information reflects opinions for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer or solicitation for digital asset transactions.
