Dear Sir/Madam,
Background
On 27 July 2022, by Order of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, the Company was placed into
official liquidation and Messrs Alexander Lawson and Barry Lynch of Alvarez & Marsal Cayman Islands
Limited, Flagship Building, 2nd Floor, 142 Seafarers Way, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1104,
Cayman Islands, were appointed as the Joint Official Liquidators (“JOLs”).
On or around 1 March 2020, the Company (also using the name “Invictus Capital') launched a
cryptocurrency wallet service which permitted users to create a digital wallet that could store and
transfer certain supported cryptocurrencies. The digital wallet was established and accessed through
accounts set up by users on the Invictus client portal maintained by the Company. This cryptocurrency
wallet service enabled users to hold or initiate transfers of cryptocurrency to/from their digital wallet.
Users that utilised this cryptocurrency wallet service agreed to and accepted the terms and conditions
applicable to such service by way of contract entered into between the relevant user and the Company,
as set out in the User Terms of Service (“ToS”), a copy of which is enclosed for reference.
Pursuant to the ToS, amongst other things, each user accepted and agreed that the Company did not
act as brokers, intermediaries, agents, advisors, or custodians, and did not have a fiduciary relationship
or obligation to the users of the cryptocurrency wallet service. Moreover, pursuant to the ToS, the
Company has the right to suspend or terminate the cryptocurrency wallet service for any reason and at
any time at the Company’s sole discretion.
The Company hereby provides notice that the cryptocurrency wallet service is terminated with
immediate effect.
Notwithstanding the termination of the cryptocurrency wallet service, for a period of at least two months
from the date of this letter, the Company will continue to allow access to users’ digital wallets for the
purpose facilitating transfers to alternative compatible third-party wallets. The Company strongly
encourages users to initiate any transfer(s) of cryptocurrency as soon as possible and in any event by
no later than 2 months from date of letter.
If users no longer have access to their digital wallet address registered on the Invictus Client Portal,
please contact the Invictus team as soon as possible by email to queries@invictuscapital.com.

Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the JOLs and their team, via email at

Yours faithfully,

When you create a Wallet with Invictus, a cryptographic private and public key pair is
generated. The private and public key pair together evidence ownership/possession of
a specific amount of supported Virtual Currency in that Wallet which enables you to
send and receive Virtual Currency via the relevant Blockchain network. The public key
is visible to all participants in a Blockchain’s (defined below) network. The private key
must be used to transact the Virtual Currency represented by the corresponding public
key. Invictus does not store any unencrypted versions of your private key in its database
and will never request your private key. Invictus utilizes Google Cloud Services’ data
center capacity using Google KMS and its own proprietary technology to encrypt your
private key in a process designed to help ensure its security and confidentiality while
ensuring that you remain in control of your Wallet and private key. Once your private
