Science Blockchain ICO and Incubator SUMMARY SEPTEMBER 2017

Science Blockchain Incubator Science Blockchain will be the first incubator funded through an ICO and focusing on blockchain technology companies. The Incubator will partner with what it views as leading entrepreneurs to invest in and build a portfolio of blockchain and cryptocurrency related businesses that it feels are positioned for long term success. The near term objective of the Incubator is to create an environment where leading blockchain entrepreneurs can rapidly develop their business concepts, and utilize the Incubator resources (legal, technical, operational) to quickly and cleanly launch ICOs of their own. The long term objective is to build the software giants of the next century. Science Blockchain ICO The Science Blockchain (SCI) Token offers a unique two prong return on investment: 1. The Incubator expects to hold on average 25% (as a match of equity investment) of the tokens of each incubated portfolio company at the time of such portfolio company s ICO. Of this 25%, it is expected that 70% of the portfolio tokens will flow to each of the SCI Tokenholders, in proportion to their SCI Token holdings. The remaining 30% of portfolio tokens held by the Incubator will be sold as needed to refresh the Incubator s funds. Token Economics 2. Of the Incubator s entitlement to proceeds from the sale of equities of the incubated portfolio companies, it is expected that a portion (the lesser of 25% or $20M) will be retained by the Incubator to the extent necessary for maintaining at least 80% of initial Incubator funds level. Of the remaining funds, 70% will be used to repurchase the SCI Tokens on the open market, thereby returning proceeds of equity sales to the holders of the SCI Token and reducing the available supply in the market, and 30% will be distributed to the equity holders of the Incubator.

Of this 25%, it is expected that 70% of the portfolio tokens will flow to SCI Tokenholders, in proportion to their SCI Token holdings. The remaining 30% of portfolio tokens will be sold (in a staggered fashion, or as otherwise deemed appropriate by the Incubator) as needed to refresh the Incubator s funds.
