Potencialni vlagatelj Zipmexa zahteva od izvršnega direktorja Marcusa Lima, da zaseže svoje delnice

A potential investor in troubled South Asian crypto exchange Zipmex has asked the company’s founder and group CEO Marcus Lim to forfeit all his shares, according to an email obtained by The Block.

E-poštno sporočilo, ki ga je v torek poslal Chalermchai Mahagitsiri prek svojega predstavnika, je od Lima zahtevalo, da se odpove 100 % svojih delnic ob zaključku morebitne naložbe. Prejšnji mesec, Blok je poročal da je Mahagitsiri, sin tajskega milijarderja in kralja kave Prayudha Mahagitsirija, ena od dveh strank v naprednih naložbenih pogovorih z Zipmexom.

“We request the Zipmex Team to prepare a confirmation letter of your share forfeiture for you to sign and to take effect at closing,” the email addressed to Lim reads. “We look forward to moving on from this situation and receiving this confirmation letter.”

zipmex ustavili dvige strank julija zaradi svoje izpostavljenosti Babel Finance in Celsius, dvema obleganima kriptoposojilodajalcema, ki sta junija zamrznila sredstva strank. Zipmex ima ocenjeni njegova skupna izpostavljenost Babelu in Celzijusu znaša 53 milijonov dolarjev in je domnevno približno toliko želijo zbrati od vlagateljev. Zipmex ima čas do 2. decembra da bi rešil svoje finančne težave, saj je singapursko višje sodišče avgusta prejelo trimesečno podaljšanje moratorija.

“As my team and I continue to work towards bringing in new investments to make our customers whole, negotiations with various parties are entering a critical phase,” Lim told The Block in emailed comments. “As such, I am unable to comment on any details as there is a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) between parties and until they have been agreed upon by all stakeholders I cannot disclose more. I am however surprised any interaction (even if it occurred) was leaked given the NDA.”

Lim has also been a target of Zipmex’s existing shareholders, who have been seeking his departure, according to a Bloomberg poročilo from last month. The report said at least one “large” Zipmex shareholder wrote to Lim asking him to resign, citing a loss of trust among partners and the firm’s severe cash crunch.

A Zipmex spokesperson told The Block: “Zipmex is in talks with investors to raise capital as we have previously stated. Part of those conversations include discussion of structural changes to strengthen management.”

Še vedno je treba videti, ali se bo Lim strinjal z odpovedjo lastniškega kapitala. Prejšnji mesec je Rekel the Australian Financial Review he intends to stay on and work on a restructuring plan to make Zipmex’s customers whole — unless the firm’s new major shareholders tell him to resign.

“This plan includes potentially bringing in new majority shareholders who may want a greater say in management decisions,” Lim told the AFR at the time. “Should this happen, my co-founder Akalarp [Yimwilai] and I have made it clear that we will fully cooperate with them and their wishes in the event they may be looking for a management change.”

Indeed, The Block has also obtained a separate letter dated Aug. 14, in which Yimwilai, who is also the CEO of Zipmex’s Thailand unit, offered to resign from his director and CEO posts and forfeit all his shares upon the closing of an investment or acquisition of Zipmex Asia. In that letter, written to Zipmex’s board and shareholders, Yimwilai also expected Lim to “make the same decisions.”

Yimwilai se ni odzval na prošnjo za komentar do časa tiska.

Skupina Zipmex upravlja pet subjektov – Zipmex, Zipmex Azija, Zipmex Tajska, Zipmex Indonezija in Zipmex Avstralija – in vsi ti subjekti so zaprosili za zaščito upnikov pri singapurskem višjem sodišču.
