CLAUSE 1
PARTIES AND ROLE
- These Terms constitute a direct contractual relationship between (i) each Token Holder accepting the Exchange Offer in accordance with clause 6 below, (ii) Efforce, as the entity procuring the repossession of the WOZX Tokens and bearing the obligation to deliver the TI Shares to the Token Holder, and (iii) JMD, which transfers the TI Shares to the Token Holder pursuant to a back-to-back instruction issued by Efforce. Efforce is the operative counterparty of the Token Holder; JMD is the registered transferor of the TI Shares for corporate-law and registry purposes only.
- The repossession of WOZX Tokens against TI Shares is structured, on the Efforce side, as a single contractual transaction with the Token Holder. Title to the TI Shares is conveyed directly from JMD to the Token Holder in execution of the same transaction, by reason of, and conditional upon, Efforce's receipt of the WOZX Tokens. The Parties expressly exclude any qualification of the transaction as a tripartite swap or as an independent sale by JMD to the Token Holder.
- Efforce represents and warrants that JMD has irrevocably committed, by separate written undertaking enforceable by Efforce, to transfer to each Token Holder the number of TI Shares corresponding to the WOZX Tokens received by Efforce in accordance with these Terms. JMD represents and warrants to each Token Holder that it holds full legal and beneficial title to a sufficient number of TI Shares to satisfy the Exchange Offer .

CLAUSE 3
NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE EXCHANGE
- The Exchange Offer is a contractual offer made by Efforce, as principal, to all Token Holders. The economic and legal substance of the transaction is the repossession by Efforce of WOZX Tokens issued under the smart contract referred to in clause 2, against the contemporaneous delivery to the Token Holder of TI Shares procured by Efforce from JMD by virtue of the back-to-back undertaking referred to in clause 1.3.
- No cash consideration is paid by either side. The transaction is not a redemption nor an issuer call within the meaning of the WOZX Token terms of issuance, and the WOZX Token will continue to exist on the blockchain. Upon receipt by the Exchange Wallet, the WOZX Tokens may be retired, redirected or otherwise dealt with by Efforce at its sole discretion, the Token Holder having no residual right of any kind in respect of the tendered Tokens.
- These Terms shall function, in respect of each individual Token Holder accepting the Exchange Offer, as a stand-alone bilateral agreement between such Token Holder and Efforce, with JMD bound towards the Token Holder solely as transferor of legal title to the TI Shares for registry purposes, in execution of the back-to-back undertaking owed to Efforce. Notwithstanding any reference, by form or by analogy, to a share purchase agreement, the Parties expressly acknowledge that (i) there is no signing event in the SPA sense, (ii) closing is asynchronous and conditional, (iii) an Escrow Agent is appointed in accordance with clause 6, and (iv) title to the TI Shares passes in accordance with clause 7.
CLAUSE 4
"AS-IS, WHERE-IS" BASIS
- The WOZX Tokens are tendered to Efforce on an "as-is, where-is" basis. The technical characteristics, governance, transferability, regulatory qualification and economic functionality of the WOZX Token are exhaustively defined by the smart contract code at the address set out in clause 2 and by the WOZX Token terms of issuance, publicly accessible at dato mancante nel documento. Efforce accepts the WOZX Tokens with no representation or warranty from any Token Holder, save for those expressly given in clause 8.
- The TI Shares are delivered to the Token Holder on an "as-is, where-is" basis, subject exclusively to the representations and warranties expressly given by JMD in clause 8. The Token Holder accepts that no further representation, warranty, undertaking or guarantee is given as to the present or future value, marketability, liquidity, dividend yield or regulatory treatment of the TI Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the 'as‑is, where‑is' basis expressly includes the absence of any guarantee or representation as to the future trading price or market performance of the TI Shares.
CLAUSE 5
WAIVER, RELEASE AND ABSENCE OF PENDING DISPUTES
- By accepting these Terms and executing the Acceptance procedure described in clause 6, the Token Holder irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases and discharges the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, proceedings, liabilities, costs and damages of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, present or future, contingent or matured, contractual, tortious, statutory or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the issuance, marketing, distribution, listing, functionality, valuation or performance of the WOZX Token, or any conduct of the Released Parties prior to the Settlement Date in connection therewith. This waiver and release is intended to operate to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall constitute, where applicable, an irrevocable acquittance and final settlement within the meaning of articles 115 and 130 et seq. CO.
- The Token Holder represents and warrants, as at the date of Acceptance and again as at the Settlement Date, that no judicial, arbitral, administrative or pre-litigation proceeding is pending, threatened or otherwise live, brought by or for the benefit of the Token Holder against any Released Party. Any Token Holder who is a party to, or beneficiary of, any such proceeding is ineligible to participate in the Exchange Offer for so long as that proceeding remains live.
- A Token Holder who wishes to participate notwithstanding the existence of a live proceeding undertakes, as a condition precedent to the validity of the Acceptance, to procure the unconditional and definitive discontinuance of such proceeding in parallel with the Acceptance, including by signing and filing the procedural acts required for desistance, withdrawal of the action or consent-to-dismiss order, in such a manner that the proceeding is finally extinguished against the Released Parties on or before the Settlement Date. Failure to perfect such discontinuance by the Settlement Date entitles Efforce to declare the Acceptance void ab initio in accordance with clause 6.2, with the consequences set out therein.
- The Released Parties who are not parties to these Terms (including the parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, advisors, successors and assigns of Efforce) are intended third-party beneficiaries of the waiver, release and discharge set out in this clause, which is stipulated for their benefit within the meaning of article 112 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, and each of them may invoke and enforce such waiver and release directly against the Token Holder.
CLAUSE 6
ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE
- Acceptance of the Exchange Offer is a multi-step digital procedure operated by the Escrow Agent on behalf of Efforce. Acceptance is perfected by the cumulative and indivisible occurrence of the acts set out in clauses 6.2 to 6.6, which the Token Holder declares to be a single expression of consent.
(a) Digital onboarding. The Token Holder accesses the Exchange Portal, completes the KYC/KYT procedure conducted by the Escrow Agent, and declares the blockchain address from which the WOZX Tokens will be tendered (the "Declared Token Holder Wallet"). The Token Holder warrants that the Declared Token Holder Wallet is a private, self-custodial address owned and exclusively controlled by the Token Holder, and is not an address operated by, deposited with, or otherwise associated with any centralized exchange (CEX), decentralized exchange (DEX), over-the-counter desk, custodial wallet provider, smart-contract pool, mixer or any other intermediated address.
(b) Generation of executable documents. Upon completion of onboarding, the Escrow Agent generates (i) these Terms, personalized with the identity of the Token Holder, the Declared Token Holder Wallet, the number of WOZX Tokens to be tendered and the corresponding number of TI Shares; and (ii) the Assignment Agreement executed by JMD in favour of the Token Holder. Both documents are made available to the Token Holder in pdf form for download from the Exchange Portal.
(c) Manual execution. The Token Holder shall (i) sign these Terms by hand, (ii) countersign the Assignment Agreement, and (iii) re-deposit the executed counterparts with the Escrow Agent through the Exchange Portal.
(d) On-chain tender from the Declared Token Holder Wallet. Following deposit of the executed counterparts, the Token Holder shall transfer the WOZX Tokens from the Declared Token Holder Wallet (and from that wallet only) to the Exchange Wallet, in a whole multiple of the Exchange Ratio. Fractional tenders are treated in accordance with clause 6.6.
(e) Perfection. The Acceptance is perfected, and the contract between Efforce and the Token Holder becomes final and irrevocable, only upon receipt by the Exchange Wallet of the WOZX Tokens, tendered from the Declared Token Holder Wallet, confirmed on the relevant blockchain by no fewer than twelve (12) block confirmations. Until that moment, no contract is concluded between the Parties, notwithstanding the execution of the documents under clauses 6.2 and 6.3.
- Wallet mismatch --- invalidity. If the WOZX Tokens are tendered from a wallet other than the Declared Token Holder Wallet, the Acceptance shall be void ab initio (nullité absolue), no contract shall be deemed to have been concluded between the Parties notwithstanding the execution of these Terms and of the Assignment Agreement, and the tendered WOZX Tokens shall be deemed irretrievably lost. Efforce, the Escrow Agent and JMD bear no liability of any kind for such loss, the risk thereof being expressly assumed by the Token Holder pursuant to article 100 CO to the maximum extent permitted by law.
- Prohibition of tenders from exchanges or intermediated wallets. WOZX Tokens tendered from a wallet operated by, or interfacing with, a centralized or decentralized exchange or any other intermediated wallet cannot be reconciled by the Escrow Agent with an executed counterpart of these Terms and shall be irretrievably lost. The Token Holder expressly acknowledges this consequence, releases Efforce, the Escrow Agent and JMD from any liability in respect thereof, and undertakes not to rely on any contrary representation, however made.
- Communication with the Transfer Agent. Upon perfection of the Acceptance under clause 6.2, the Escrow Agent shall instruct the Transfer Agent to register the Token Holder as holder of the TI Shares pursuant to the executed Assignment Agreement, in accordance with clause 7.
- Discretionary refusal. Efforce may, at its sole discretion and without liability, refuse any Acceptance from a Token Holder who fails to complete the KYC/KYT procedure conducted by the Escrow Agent, who is established in or is a citizen or resident of a Restricted Jurisdiction (as defined on the Exchange Portal), who is subject to Sanctions, or whose Acceptance would, in the reasonable opinion of Efforce, infringe any applicable law. Where on-chain transfer of WOZX Tokens has occurred from the Declared Token Holder Wallet, the WOZX Tokens shall be returned, net of network fees, to that wallet within ten (10) Business Days, and no TI Shares shall be delivered.
- Fractional tenders. Tenders that are not whole multiples of the Exchange Ratio shall be deemed Acceptances in respect of the largest whole multiple contained therein; the residual WOZX Tokens shall be returned to the Declared Token Holder Wallet within ten (10) Business Days, net of network fees, with no further compensation due.
- Costs. The Token Holder bears any blockchain network fees (gas) incurred in tendering WOZX Tokens. JMD bears any fees and stamp duties (if any) relating to the registration of the TI Shares in the name of the Token Holder, save as expressly provided otherwise in clause 10.
- Acceptance Window. From the Opening Date, Token Holders shall have three hundred and sixty-five (365) solar days to perfect their Acceptance pursuant to clauses 6.2 to 6.5. The Exchange Offer lapses ipso jure on the Longstop Date. WOZX Tokens not validly tendered by the Longstop Date remain in circulation and grant no residual right vis-à-vis Efforce or JMD under these Terms.
6.9 Grace Period
(a) Notwithstanding the expiry of the Acceptance Period on the Closing Date, Token Holders who have not validly accepted the Exchange Offer during the Acceptance Period shall be granted an additional grace period of two (2) calendar months (the "Grace Period") commencing on the day immediately following the Closing Date.
(b) During the Grace Period, any such Token Holder may still perfect an Acceptance in accordance with the procedure set out in clauses 6.1 to 6.5, provided that:
(i) all provisions of these Terms (including the Exchange Ratio as fixed on the Opening Date) shall apply mutatis mutandis; and
(ii) the Grace Period shall not extend the Longstop Date, which remains three hundred and sixty‑five (365) solar days after the Opening Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Acceptance may be perfected after the Longstop Date.
(c) The Grace Period shall expire automatically at 23:59:59 UTC on the last day of the second calendar month following the Closing Date. Any Acceptance not perfected by the end of the Grace Period shall be permanently barred.
6.10 Final Bar of Claims and Disposal of Remaining TI Shares
(a) Bar of claims. Upon expiry of the Grace Period, any Token Holder who has not validly accepted the Exchange Offer (whether during the Acceptance Period or the Grace Period) shall have no further claims, rights, remedies, or recourse of any kind against Efforce, JMD, or any of the Released Parties, arising out of or in connection with the Exchange Offer, these Terms, the WOZX Tokens held by such Token Holder, or any alleged obligation to exchange such WOZX Tokens for TI Shares. This bar applies regardless of whether such Token Holder failed to accept due to oversight, technical issues, lack of information, or any other reason.
(b) Unfettered right of JMD to deal with remaining TI Shares. JMD shall have the absolute, unconditional and unfettered right to deal with, transfer, sell, pledge, retire, hold, or otherwise dispose of any TI Shares that have not been exchanged for WOZX Tokens pursuant to the Exchange Offer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any TI Shares that were originally allocated for the Exchange Offer but remain unclaimed after the Grace Period). JMD may exercise such right without any further notice to, or consent from, any Token Holder, and without any obligation to account to any Token Holder for the proceeds or value derived therefrom.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this clause 6.10 shall survive the termination or lapse of the Exchange Offer and shall be enforceable by Efforce and JMD as separate and independent contractual stipulations.
CLAUSE 7
SETEMENT OF THE TI SHARES
- No closing event in the traditional sense takes place. Settlement is sequential and conditional upon the events set out in this clause 7.
- Within five (5) Business Days following the on-chain perfection of an Acceptance under clause 6.1(e), the Escrow Agent shall communicate to JMD and to the Transfer Agent a settlement instruction listing: (a) the identity of the Token Holder; (b) the number of WOZX Tokens received in the Exchange Wallet and the corresponding number of TI Shares to be registered; (c) the depository account or share-register entry to which the TI Shares are to be credited; and (d) confirmation that the WOZX Tokens were received from the Declared Token Holder Wallet (the "Settlement Instruction").
- No later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the issuance of the Settlement Instruction, JMD shall, by virtue of the executed Assignment Agreement and the back‑to‑back undertaking owed to Efforce, procure the transfer of the relevant number of TI Shares to the Share Escrow Account (as defined in clause 7.8) by causing the Transfer Agent to register the Share Escrow Agent (or its nominee) as the holder of the TI Shares, with the Token Holder noted as the beneficial owner in the books of the Share Escrow Agent.
- Legal title to the TI Shares shall be held by the Share Escrow Agent (or its nominee) from the date of registration in TI's share register. Beneficial ownership shall be held by the Token Holder subject to the release conditions in clause 7.8. Title and beneficial ownership shall pass fully to the Token Holder only upon the Release Event defined in clause 7.8(c).
- If, by the Longstop Date, JMD has failed to procure the registration of the TI Shares in favour of a Token Holder whose Acceptance has been perfected under clause 6.1(e), that Token Holder is entitled, by written notice to Efforce, to: (a) demand specific performance of the share transfer obligation by JMD, with Efforce intervening to enforce the back-to-back undertaking; or (b) terminate the contract in respect of his/her/its Acceptance and require restitution of the WOZX Tokens tendered, in which case Efforce shall procure the return of such WOZX Tokens to the Declared Token Holder Wallet within ten (10) Business Days. The Token Holder's right to claim damages under clause 10 and applicable law (in particular articles 97 et seq. CO) remains unaffected.
7.6 Lock‑up Period
(a) The Token Holder agrees that any TI Shares received pursuant to this Exchange Offer shall be subject to a lock‑up period (the "Lock‑up Period") commencing on the Settlement Date and ending on the earlier of:
(i) the date on which the Crypto Exchange Platform (as defined below) first becomes operational and publicly announces that trading of TI Shares is available on such platform; or
(ii) the date on which the Transferor (JMD) gives its prior written consent to the Token Holder to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of the TI Shares, such consent to be granted or withheld in JMD's sole discretion.
(b) During the Lock‑up Period, the Token Holder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, lend, grant any option over, enter into any derivative contract referencing, or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the TI Shares, nor enter into any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing.
(c) "Crypto Exchange Platform" means a digital asset trading platform (centralised or decentralised) operated by Efforce or any affiliate thereof, or any third‑party platform designated by JMD in writing, on which TI Shares are made available for trading in tokenised form.
(d) Any purported transfer or disposition of TI Shares in violation of this clause 7.6 shall be null and void ab initio. JMD and TI shall be entitled to refuse to register any such transfer on TI's share register.
(e) The restrictions in this clause 7.6 shall cease to apply automatically upon expiry of the Lock‑up Period, and no further action by the Token Holder or JMD shall be required.
7.7 Token Holder's Responsibility for Depository and Compliance. The Token Holder acknowledges that the form of the TI Shares may require him/her/it to (a) hold a depository account with a qualified intermediary, (b) be approved by the board of directors of TI, or (c) comply with mandatory disclosure obligations. The Token Holder is solely responsible for compliance with such requirements. JMD and Efforce shall not be in breach of these Terms if registration is delayed solely as a result of the Token Holder's failure to satisfy such requirements; in such case, the time limits under clauses 7.2 and 7.3 shall be extended by the time reasonably required to remedy the deficiency.
7.8 Escrow of TI Shares
(a) Notwithstanding clause 7.4, legal and beneficial title to the TI Shares shall not pass directly from JMD to the Token Holder upon registration in TI's share register. Instead, the TI Shares shall be deposited with the Share Escrow Agent and held in an escrow account (the "Share Escrow Account") for the benefit of the Token Holder, subject to the release conditions set out in this clause 7.8.
(b) JMD shall procure that, within five (5) Business Days following the issuance of the Settlement Instruction under clause 7.2, the TI Shares are credited to the Share Escrow Account in the name of the Token Holder (or, if required by the Share Escrow Agent's operational model, in a segregated omnibus account clearly identified as holding assets for the Token Holder).
(c) The TI Shares held in the Share Escrow Account shall be released to the Token Holder's own designated brokerage or depository account (the "Release Event") upon the earliest to occur of:
(i) the expiry of the Lock‑up Period defined in clause 7.6; or
(ii) a written instruction from JMD (the Transferor) to the Share Escrow Agent authorising the release.
(d) Until the Release Event, the Token Holder shall have no right to transfer, pledge or otherwise deal with the TI Shares. The Token Holder shall, however, be entitled to all economic rights attaching to the TI Shares (including dividends and voting rights), to be exercised through the Share Escrow Agent or as otherwise directed by JMD in good faith.
(e) The Share Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with JMD's instructions with respect to the Share Escrow Account. The Token Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Share Escrow Agent is not a party to these Terms and owes no duty directly to the Token Holder, save as provided in any separate escrow agreement between JMD and the Share Escrow Agent, a copy of which shall be made available to the Token Holder upon request.
(f) All fees, costs and expenses of the Share Escrow Agent shall be borne by JMD, except where the delay or default of the Token Holder causes additional charges, in which case such charges shall be borne by the Token Holder.

(b) The Token Holder acknowledges that the price of TI Shares may fluctuate materially due to factors wholly outside JMD's control, including market conditions, the financial performance of TI, regulatory developments, and general economic conditions. JMD shall not be liable for any loss, depreciation, or opportunity cost arising from any change in the value of the TI Shares.
(c) Nothing in clause 8.4 shall be deemed to limit or exclude liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or to override any mandatory provision of applicable law.
8.5 Reliance on Public Filings Only
(a) The Token Holder acknowledges and agrees that JMD does not make, and has not made, any representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever concerning the legal, regulatory, financial or operational status of Troops Inc. ("TI"), its subsidiaries, its business, its assets, its compliance with laws, its litigation history, its insider information, or any other matter relating to TI, except solely for the representations set out in clauses 8.2 and 8.3.
(b) The Token Holder further acknowledges that it has been given the opportunity to review, and has relied or shall rely exclusively upon, TI's publicly available filings and disclosures, including but not limited to its articles of incorporation, by‑laws, annual reports, financial statements, stock exchange announcements, prospectuses (if any), and any other information publicly disclosed by TI in accordance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules.

SEVERABILITY
- If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the arbitral tribunal designated under clause 20, such provision shall be deemed replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that most closely reflects the economic intent of the original provision, and the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
