Is the secondary market on schedule to be operations and useable by or during Q4 of this calendar year 2025?

Yes, the current plan is for the Secondary Market to be operational and launched in Q4 2025. GigaStar received the necessary regulatory licenses to do so.

How will the Preferred Stock be handled as compared to the Common Stock when/if an IPO occurs? Will the Preferred Stock be converted to Common Stock? And is that conversion already written into the corporate charter and/or by-laws?

Yes, in the scenario of an IPO, the Preferred shares will be converted to Common shares. The Preferred shares provide investors with a downside protection by receiving priority in case of an early exit to get 1X their returns (1X preference).

Is there a pool of shares (either common or preferred) set aside for hiring future executives?

Yes, as part of the Series A we are conducting, we are expanding the stock options plan to allocate sufficient options pool for future executives

Every transformational market requires the right infrastructure before it can scale. GigaStar is building that infrastructure for the creator economy by connecting creators seeking growth capital with investors who want to invest in their success, all within a regulated marketplace for trading these digital assets. I believe GigaStar isn't just creating a better funding model for creators—it's establishing the foundation for an entirely new investable asset class.
