In 2018, PhunCoin, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, launched an offering pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D (the "Reg D Offering") as promulgated under the Securities Act of rights to acquire a token denominated as "PhunCoin" (the "Rights"). In addition, in 2019, we commenced an offering of Rights pursuant to Regulation CF (the "Reg CF Offering"). PhunCoin, Inc. accepts payment in the form of cash and digital currencies for purchases of the Rights. The amount of PhunCoin to be issued to the purchaser is equal to the dollar amount paid by the purchaser divided by the price of PhunCoin at the time of issuance of PhunCoin during the launch of the Token Ecosystem (as defined below) before taking into consideration an applicable discount rate, which is based on the time of the purchase (early purchasers will receive a larger discount rate).
PhunCoin is expected to be issued to Rights holders the earlier of (i) the launch of the Company’s blockchain technology enabled rewards marketplace and data exchange ("Token Ecosystem"), (ii) one (1) year after the issuance of the Rights to the purchaser, or (iii) the date the Company determines that it has the ability to enforce resale restrictions with respect to PhunCoin pursuant to applicable federal securities laws. Proceeds from the Rights offering are generally not refundable; however, the Company believes it has a contractual obligation to use good faith efforts to issue a token to Rights holders under the token rights agreement. The Company currently anticipates that PhunCoin will be issued to the holders of the Rights in 2020. Holders of the Rights may be issued PhunCoin even if the Token Ecosystem is not yet operational. PhunCoin will have no usefulness until the Token Ecosystem is operational because PhunCoin is expected to only be useable on the Token Ecosystem. There can be no assurance as to when (or if) the Company will be able to successfully launch the Token Ecosystem. The Company is currently developing multiple aspects of the Token Ecosystem and expects that a review (beta) period will likely conclude in in the first half of 2020. The final software readiness date of the Token Ecosystem may be adjusted based on user feedback provided in the review (beta) period and thus a specific launch date is difficult to determine at this time, as it is based on many external factors outside of our control.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has received aggregate cash proceeds from the Reg D Offering and Reg CF Offering of $1.2 million, pursuant to which the holders of the Rights will receive an aggregate of approximately 577.9 million PhunCoin if the launch of the Token Ecosystem occurs. The Reg CF Offering closed May 1, 2019. While the Reg D Offering is ongoing, the Company does not anticipate any additional proceeds to be raised.
PhunToken ("Phun") During the second quarter of 2019, Phunware announced the launch of a separate token, Phun, which is meant to act as a medium of exchange within the Token Ecosystem. Phun will be issued through a separate, wholly-owned subsidiary, Phun Token International, available initially only to persons outside of the United States and Canada. Consumers may receive Phun for actively engaging in marketing campaigns; developers and publishers may receive Phun for utilizing Phunware’s loyalty software development kit in order to better engage, manage and monetize their consumers; and brands will gain access to more relevant, verifiable data by accessing Phunware’s data exchange and using Phun for their own loyalty programs. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not sold any Phun.
