i just spoke with Brad and after some back and forth they offered to buy 50% our investment based on a $4
billion valuation however Brad did not give me a number which that equated to..
we need to clarify if our investment was originally based on Coinbase at $400mm as i have always been told or
$415mm which is shown in the recap of rounds. we also must make sure they value our round pre money for
400mm or 415mm vs post 475mm or 490mm as 75mm was raised in series C (number 5 on deal history on
attached PDF page 2)
pre money valuation
if 400mm to 4 billion = 10 x $1,500,000 (50% of 3mm investment) = $15,000,000
if 415mm to 4 billion = 9.63885 x $1,500,000 (50% of 3mm investment) = $14,457,831
post money valuation
if 475mm to 4 billion = 8.42105 x $1,500,000 (50% of 3mm investment) = $12,631,579
if 490mm to 4 billion = 8.16326 x $1,500,000 (50% of 3mm investment) = $12,244,898
also there was once talk of brock taking a fee on placing us in this investment. should we make brad's group
responsible for dealing with brock?
if you would like to proceed brad would like darren to draw up purchase agreement and they are prepared to
close this week
please advise
thank you

Hi, Brad.
I know Jeffrey has received two other bids. He said he would prefer to sell to you. I don't want you to bid
against yourself, but I suggest you come back to me with your best offer, and if it is accepted we will close
by Friday.

Good morning, Brad.
We recognize that the company's value is greater than $3 Billion already. So, we think a fair offer is $11 Million for
50% of our Coinbase position.

Good to hear from you so quickly. We do not have anything formal, in terms of paperwork. But if Jeffrey wants to
sell his Coinbase position, we will have legal documents drafted to facilitate the purchase of the LLC that holds the
position.
We just raised a new fund, that does not have any exposure to Coinbase, thus we are looking for secondary
positions to buy.
Given Blockchain Capital has no direct relationship with Jeffrey, other than through Brock Pierce, and Brock left
Blockchain Capital in May of 2017, we figured that Jeffrey may want to take the --$12m of profit from this $3m
investment.
We are in contact with a few other sellers at this price, in case Jeffrey does not want to sell his position. But due to
the dedicated LLC structure you created to house the position, purchasing the position from Jeffrey appears to be
the simplest, and doesn't need to go through Coinbase.
Let us know Jeffrey's interest in moving forward.
Best,
Brad

Mr. Epstein is traveling. While he is away, can you send me papers on the proposed transaction so that I
may review them before I present them to him?

Darren,
Do you still work with Jeffrey? And if so, we are interested in buying the LLC below that we used to
make this Coinbase investment. We did this investment at a $400m valuation. The company just raised
money at a 1.6b valuation, and we would be willing to buy the position from you at a $2b valuation. We
would pay $15m for this $3m investment.
Let us know if there is any interest.

Ok. We should be able to accommodate that. Including Josh from our legal who can get you the
proper docs.
I'm not sure the availability will last, but if you find you want to do more it's probably worth a ping.

Fred,
We have spoken to our investors and we would like to invest $3,250,000 into your current round. Although a
smaller investment than we originally discussed, we are glad we were able to get this together given the extremely
short fuse on timing.
Assuming you are okay with our smaller participation, lets move forward with next steps of legal docs and wires.
We are excited to be involved,
Brad

I apologize for the lack of communication - Jeff was in a full afternoon board meeting yesterday. Brock is working
with his EA to ideally find a time for you two to meet today.
We will be back to you shortly.
