Leonovus Chooses Securitize for the Galaxa Security Token Offering Compliance Platform

February 26, 2019

Leonovus Inc., ("Leonovus or the Company") , founder of Galaxa, has selected Securitize Inc., to provide an industry-leading compliance platform for digitizing securities on the blockchain, which supports the Galaxa security token offering. 

Galaxa's blockchain platform incorporates the patented distributed storage and compute technology developed by Leonovus Inc. Galaxa is the first blockchain-enabled, enterprise-class, Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) distributed storage and compute marketplace. As a reporting issuer on the TSX Venture exchange, and in recognition that GAAX is a security token, Leonovus will follow continuous disclosure requirements, securities rules and regulations regarding the GAAX token.

Securitize provides the compliance platform that electronically qualifies GAAX investors. The Securitize DS Protocol provides end-to-end seamless token and investor management services for GAAX.  This begins from initial login to the receipt of capital and the issuance and management of the GAAX security token and any future regulatory compliant trading. The platform encompasses full life cycle support including the execution of token rights and privileges, as well as any future distributions to GAAX holders.

"Selecting Securitize gives Galaxa investors a tokenization solution to ensure the compliant trading of digital securities across multiple markets and exchanges. This partnership builds upon our previously announced agreement with RockTree Capital and RockTree LEX for placement and advisory services in connection with the GAAX offering and shows our continued commitment to working with the leading pioneers in digital securities to launch Galaxa", said Michael Gaffney, CEO of Leonovus.

“We are excited to be working with Securitize, a strategic partner of RockTree, on the Galaxa project,” said Omer Ozden, Chairman and CEO of RockTree. “RockTree LEX bridges the Asian and North American markets to help streamline security token financings and allow issuers to conduct them in a legally compliant manner, which is critical to a successful offering. Leonovus’ engagement of Securitize to assist with the issuance and management of GAAX is a key component of the offering, as well as any future compliant trading of GAAX on security token exchanges.”

Combined, Galaxa (Leonovus), Securitize and RockTree LEX are uniquely positioned to efficiently bring this project to market helping accelerate the go-to-market release of GAAX security token.
