DIGIMAX GLOBAL SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES PHASE ONE OF INVESTMENT BANKING TEAM

Digicrypts Blockchain Solutions Inc. (now doing business as DigiMax Global Solutions) has appointed four experienced individuals who will comprise phase 1 of the DigiMax investment banking team.

The new corporate financial consultants include:

  • Damon Stone -- Toronto (damon.stone@digimax.global);
  • Irina Golubkova -- Toronto (irina.golubkova@digimax.global);
  • Mark Kim -- Singapore (mark.kim@digimax.global);
  • Mihai Dinulescu -- San Francisco/Paris (mihai.dinulescu@digimax.global).

As described in more detail herein, each of these individuals has experience in banking-related fields with a combination of large global banks and smaller institutions that are directly related to the DigiMax operation. These individuals have diverse backgrounds and business experience, resulting in DigiMax having a wide array of skills to draw from to assist clients that vary by industry, global geography and size.

During the balance of 2019, DigiMax intends to grow the team from its current phase 1 composition of four experienced individuals to phase 2, which will include 10 people.

This growth is designed to properly service a rapidly growing demand from companies to become consulting clients of DigiMax. At present, DigiMax business consulting services consist of:

  • Retargeting of business plans;
  • Assistance with supporting contracts that add value to the business;
  • Assisting in determining valuation parameters for the marketplace;
  • Introducing these clients to registered lead broker dealers, registered selling brokers and exchanges where the securities issued may be traded in a secondary market. The client would contract directly with the registered service providers for such services.

The actual offering and sale of such securities will only be completed through registered broker dealers in the jurisdictions where required. Upon DigiMax obtaining a broker dealer registration (or similar) in certain jurisdictions (including becoming an exempt market dealer in Ontario, Canada, if approved), DigiMax will offer such services, where allowed, through such registrations.

The backgrounds of the team members are disclosed herein.
