Those loans are not exchangeable though, so a different monster.

The idea here is to have people committed to the bond and what it provides, not liquidity at every moment. The market will still be a place for bondholders to buy and sell. Once people see the exchangeable aspect in action, I have a feeling liquidity will be a minor issue.

Exchanged bonds are indeed 0-fee (100% face value). It's possible this may change one day on the host exchange's level, but due to the person-to-person exchanging process, fees are not levied on Pre-IPO purchases.

Interesting, however :

2. Direct Redemption: Bonds may be redeemed at any time at 95% of face value, 0.00095 for each bond.

With Ukyo/Graet.loan, I can get 100%. Redemption for assets don't help - you still need to face trading fees, so it's not 100%.

We're presented with opportunities quite regularly. We pass on most of them, but there is always something brewing.

I can't to you a "when" or a "what" for the next release yet, but there are several planned for this year, and they aren't all PTs

Cool, that's pretty interesting. Can you talk about the sort of other projects xbond will be able to exchange for...Do you have something on the arise at the moment?

I know there will be some questions, so here are a few more points:

1. The initial public offering will begin at Havelock Investments, and likely expand to BTCT-C and BitFunder as appropriate.

2. IPO date to be announced, but likely this week.

3. Any XBOND on any exchange can be exchanged toward Pre-IPO offerings on any exchange, so long as they are issued by TAT Investments.

In summary, this is a bond that pays daily at .05% per day.

It is redeemable by the bondholder, callable by the issuer, and exchangeable.

The exchangeability feature allows Pre-IPO purchasing of upcoming securities provided by TAT Investments.

Overview
XBOND is a “perpetual” fixed-yield bond (0.05% Daily, 18.25% APY) issued by TAT Investments with special redemption privileges, callability and putability terms.

This asset is being offered for the following purposes:
1. To increase TAT Investments' ability to provide new public offerings
2. To provide Pre-IPO Placement access to upcoming public offerings issued by TAT Investments
These offerings may include stocks, bonds, futures and other investment opportunities.
3. To improve TAT investments' financial agility

Dividends (Daily Coupon)
This bond pays a fixed-rate daily coupon, or interest rate, of 0.05% (18.25% APY). Each coupon will be scheduled to payout daily at 12:00 pm EST, unless the host exchange has technical issues, in which case the payments will occur at the earliest time possible.

Face Value
Each bond has a face value of 0.001 bitcoins.

Initial Public Offering (Date to be announced)
The initial public offering will be sold in 4 tranches of 500,000 units each, at a price of 0.001 bitcoins per unit. (2,000,000 units, totaling 2,000btc).
Orders can be placed at https://www.havelockinvestments.com/order.php?symbol=XBOND

If a tranche remains unsold after 1 week, the remaining unsold tranches may be removed and placed for sale on another exchange. Additional bonds may be issued in the future if proper backing is in place.

Backing
TAT Investments will always reserve a portion of its bitcoin-denominated holdings with a market value that is greater than 100% of the face value of our issued debt in bonds

Any equities assigned as backing to these bonds will be otherwise unencumbered from any liabilities to other securities provided by TAT Investments.

Backing equity will be held in publicly verifiable accounts, and a quarterly transparency report will be provided to detail all backing assets. TAT Investments may use bitcoins or any publicly traded bitcoin security assets as backing.

Bond Redemption (Putability)
These bonds may be redeemed in two ways:

1. Pre-IPO Redemption: These bonds may exchanged at the full face value, 0.001 bitcoins each, toward the purchase of newly announced public offerings provided by TAT Investments. XBOND holders will have first access to units of any eligible IPO we provide, before open market trading begins, on a first come, first served basis.

Pre-IPO Redemption Rules:
- To instigate a redemption exchange for Pre-IPO purchases, simply transfer your bonds to TAT Investments' account on the host exchange, and send a corresponding e-mail to [email protected] confirming your desired Pre-IPO purchase details.
- Pre-IPO exchanges will be fulfilled in the order that the full transfer is received.
- Pre-IPO purchases must be paid in full by redeeming XBOND units.
- If an IPO is sold out through bond redemptions, any unfulfilled redemption requests will be sent back to the original bondholder.
- Once a redemption request is received it is binding.
- Pre-IPO shares will provided within 3 days after the IPO.

2. Direct Redemption: Bonds may be redeemed at any time at 95% of face value, 0.00095 for each bond. Please allow 1-3 days for redemptions worth less than 10 bitcoins; 1-15 days for redemptions worth 10-50 bitcoins; 1-30 days for redemptions worth 50-100 bitcoins. Turnaround time for larger direct redemptions will be quoted on a case-by-case basis. Any bondholder may sell their XBOND units on the host exchange. Bondholders may instigate a maximum of one redemption request per week.

Bond Recall (Callability)
Bonds cannot be recalled during Pre-IPO sales periods. These bonds may be recalled by the issuer at any other time at 105% of face value, 0.00105 bitcoins each.

The issuer has the right to recall any outstanding bonds at will. If TAT Investments recalls only a portion all outstanding bonds, we will do so as proportionally among all bondholders, rounded down to the nearest whole unit.

Dissolution

Daily coupons remain due every day until such time as TAT Investments is able to make such a final payment.

Disclaimer & Risks
Bitcoin’s legal definition as a currency, commodity, investment, or financial instrument may be subject to unique regulations in some jurisdictions. The issuance of bitcoin-denominated securities may be considered high-risk in the current environment. Please perform due diligence in all of your investment decisions, and consider all risks before purchase. While all investments involve risk, bitcoin securities may be considered among the most risky. Some have products and services that are still in development or have yet to be tested in the market. Many trade on unregistered exchanges.

Another risk that pertains to bitcoin securities involves the low volumes of trades. Because most bitcoin securities trade in low volumes, any size of trade can have a large percentage impact on the market price of the security.

Losses caused by default/theft within the host exchange may affect the putability and/or the degree of backing representing this security.
