The Issuer - Infinite Tokens S.A., acting in respect and on behalf of the compartment Karmen Mezz-2024

The Issuer was incorporated, under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, for an indefinite term on 11 October 2023 under the name of Infinite Tokens S.A., which is both a public limited liability company (société anonyme) under the Companies Law and a securitisation company (société de titrisation) governed by the Securitisation Law and acting in respect and on behalf of the compartment Karmen Mezz-2024.

The Issuer is structured to be an insolvency-remote vehicle, meaning that in the case of insolvency proceedings against the Issuer, a creditor whose rights arise in connection with the ‘creation, operation or liquidation’ of a compartment, would have recourse to the assets allocated to that compartment but they would not have recourse to the assets of any other compartment. Compartment Karmen Mezz-2024 is a specific compartment within the Issuer set up to manage the Tokens relating specifically to Karmen (the Originator).

The investment objective is to provide holders of Tokens (‘Tokenholders’) with a sustainable and attractive level of dividend income, primarily by way of investment in the Underlying Assets.

Understanding the Tokens:

The tokens are USDC fixed rate tokens, representing asset-backed mezzanine variable funding notes (the Underlying Assets) constituting direct, and unconditional obligations of the Mezzanine Notes Issuer. Such tokens are not available to the public and are exclusively offered to (i) accredited investors under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act or (ii) non-U.S. Persons in accordance with Regulation S or (iii) if investors are resident in a member state of the EEA or the UK, a certified sophisticated investor within the meaning of Article 50 of the FPO.

Token Specifics:

These tokens are not and will not be registered under any securities laws, meaning they cannot be resold without proper registration or applicable exemptions. The tokens rank equally among themselves without preference and are unsecured obligations of the Issuer. They are redeemable based on the principal received from the Underlying Assets and can also be redeemed early by either the Issuer or the tokenholder under specific conditions.

Credit Enhancement:

A credit enhancement is provided by the Arranger for tokenholders. With regards to interest and principal payments, if there are insufficient amounts credited to the Issuer’s account to pay tokenholders what they are owed, and if the Arranger has the funds, they will cover the shortfall. The Credit Enhancement extends to redemption support in the following instance: if a tokenholder wants to redeem (cash out) their tokens and there are insufficient funds in the account, the Arranger will buy tokens themselves (up to $200,000 initially) to provide the needed funds, ensuring the tokenholder gets paid. Provided that at all times: (a) the Arranger has sufficient available funds for such purpose, it shall pay any such shortfall amount, and (b) only agrees to provide such liquidity three months after the closing of the issue of Tokens.

Transfer of Tokens

Restrictions: Tokenholders agree that they will not try to sell or trade their tokens on any market. This means the tokens are not freely transferable like typical stocks or bonds, which is important to keep in mind for those considering investing.

Redemptions

• Regular Redemption: On each redemption date, the Issuer will pay back the principal amount (the original investment amount) of the tokens, depending on how much has been received from the underlying assets since the last payment. If it’s the final payment date, all remaining principal must be paid.

• Early Voluntary Redemption: Either the Issuer or the tokenholder can decide to cash out tokens early. The Issuer needs to give four weeks’ notice, while a tokenholder can request redemption anytime through the platform. A new investor must be found to buy out the old tokens, and a fee may apply.

• Mandatory Early Redemption by Arranger: If the Arranger asks for it, the Issuer will redeem tokens early, following a specific notice period. This will not happen within three months of the tokens being issued.

Please refer to the section titled ‘Risk Factors’ in the Investment Memorandum for an overview of potential risks involved in an investment in the Tokens.

receivables. The Arranger will, in the name and on behalf of the Originator, source, screen/underwrite and arrange for the execution of Loans between the Originator and debtors or transferors to facilitate the origination or the purchase of Loans.

The Arranger will act in its capacity as credit transaction and payment service intermediary (intermédiaire en opérations de banque et services de paiement (IOBSP)) pursuant to articles L. 519-1 and R. 519-1 of the French Monetary and Financial Code and servicer the Receivables on behalf of the Originator.

The Arranger is a French working capital financing solution provider for digital small and medium-sized
businesses (‘SMB’)SMBs. The Arranger is the operational cost center for all staff, IT, marketing, admin and other operational expenses of the Karmen Group.

The Arranger sources the Loans and the Originator underwrites such Loans primarily to digital small and
medium-sized businesses (‘SMB’), typically between EUR 300,000 and 60,000,000 in annual revenues. The primary target segment for the Arranger are Software-as-a-Service (‘SaaS’), e-commerce, and B2B
services companies in the B2B verticals and other businesses with online or reoccurring revenues.
Geographically, the Arranger focuses primarily on France and will be expanding originations to Belgium,
Spain, and Italy.

Such Loans each have a term between 1 month to 24 months, and amortize on a fixed
repayment plan monthly. On average, Loans have a duration of 6 months for a EUR 180,000 principal.

clients. It leverages disruptive Open Banking technology to extract data on Loan applicants, such as complete banking transaction history, along with accounting, sales, and marketing data. This data is sourced from APIs which the borrowers must connect to the Arranger’s API. This is a mandatory step in the origination process of the Loans which also eliminates fraud risk. In turn, this data feeds a proprietary risk scoring engine to enable to determine underwriting decisions along with Loan pricing characteristics.

This structure seems like it should be efficient which is important. A few quick questions from an active investor but one that is quiet new to token investing. What ‘look through’ will the Arranger/Originator report to Token investors? I assume because the underlying loans have a fixed amortisation schedule rather than bullet repayment the Arranger/Originator should have early warning of any borrower issues? For how long has the AI trained to evaluate the credit risk on this type of borrower? You mention that the Arranger has benefited from support of likes of BPI, Caisse d’Epargne, etc - does that mean those banks have taken a look at the AI technology used by the Arranger/Originator and satisfied themselves of its capability? Many thanks

Hi @Nicholas_Page,
Many thanks for your thougthful questions.
Token holders will have access to the live reporting produced by the Untangled platform, which is produced from the Originator’s monthly performance reports. This will give you detailed and up to date insights on loan and portfolio performances.
Indeed, the Arranger has early warning of any borrower issues since the Arranger is connected, via API & open banking, to the bank accounts of our borrowers. So the Arranger sees, in real time, the performance of all bank accounts of borrowers, and as such can anticipate poor performance (as well as over performance, enabling repeat financings).
We have been backtesting our models and improving our algorithms since January 2022.
Major French banks have not evaluated our AI technology. However, they have evaluated our business model, underwriting procedures, AML procedures, gtm and data protection procedures, as part of their due diligences.
We remain available for any additional question.
