Nile has partnered with the principals of Lucite Advisors, LLC to offer a unique program called SNAPP – Shareholder Net Acquisition Placement Program

SNAPP provides a platform to significantly increase the shareholder base of promising, microcap companies (market capitalization less than $300 MM) with defined markets, proven revenue and business models

Through Nile, approved microcap companies offer up to $1 million of common equity shares to SNAPP investors at a significant discount to current market value

Accredited investors who participate in the SNAPP program are provided the opportunity to build a diverse portfolio of promising microcap companies with an initial cost basis below the then current market value plus potentially other enticing investment terms

A simple, cost effective process that benefits both investors and companies


Many small companies seek a more robust shareholder base

A limited shareholder base makes it more difficult for companies to raise sufficient capital to grow operations, move to a higher-level public exchange, and ultimately bring increased liquidity to their stock.

While as an asset class, the microcap market offers investors risk & asset allocation diversification, price volatility is often a mitigating factor

As with many investments, cost basis is a key factor to generating superior, risk adjusted returns

Q: What is the typical investment size for a SNAPP transaction?

A: We anticipate an initial range between $2,500 and $5,000 per investor.

Q: May I decide how much to invest in each SNAPP transaction?

A: No, each offering will be a fixed amount for all investors. However, investors will be able to decide (on a company by company basis) whether or not to invest.

Q: May I decide which SNAPP offerings I’d like to invest in or is this a series of offerings to which I’m obligated?

A: You may decide which offerings you’d like to invest in and which ones you will reject. Each transaction will be a separate offering.

Q: How many SNAPP offerings can investors expect to see? A: Eventually we hope to facilitate as many as one to two offerings per

month.


Q: What is the waiting period from the time a SNAPP investor funds an investment until the shares are tradable?

A: Typically it will take 6 months, although it could be sooner, depending upon the type of transaction. Again, you will be able to manage the shares in your individual brokerage account.

Q: Why would a company be willing to sell shares at a discount?

A: Many quality companies have a substantial need to add new shareholders to their base. Because of this, companies are willing to offer enticing terms in order to attract a large and diverse accredited shareholder base.

Q: Please describe the model SNAPP company? A: A typical SNAPP target company may be traded on the Over-the-

Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), have a strong & experienced management team, solid earnings & operational history, clean balance sheet, compelling product/service and in need of additional accredited shareholders.


Q: How does a SNAPP investor’s small investment help a high-growth company?

A: By making a small investment, SNAPP investors become shareholders of the company and thereby increase the shareholder base and public float. Many of the higher-level exchanges, such as the NYSE AMEX or NASDAQ National Markets, have minimum corporate shareholder size requirements of 400-800 public shareholders. Once the company has acquired additional shareholders, they are able to move to a higher-level exchange, thereby increasing the company’s exposure to a larger universe of investors and analyst coverage. These types of moves to higher level exchanges may result in improved market valuations and acceptance.



Benefits to Investors/Shareholders: Favorable investment terms for the participating investors at a significant

discount to the public market price of a growth oriented microcap company Risk is mitigated due to a relatively small amount of money invested in each

transaction (up to $5,000) Normally a 6-month lock-up, then shares may be sold at your discretion –

this is NOT a fund, investors manage their own account Nile identifies suitable companies with solid fundamentals, good growth

trajectories, clean balance sheet, good management, reasonable valuation Target to offer one opportunity per month, thus increasing portfolio

diversification – investors are NOT obligated to invest in any of the transactions

Interested investors will need to fill out an accredited investor questionnaire. Please contact Bob Roach ([email protected]), Bilal Basrai ([email protected]) or your Nile relationship manager


Benefits to Company Receiving Funds: Over-arching goal is to increase both the company’s shareholder

base and public awareness of the stock Facilitates accredited investor interest and following of a microcap

company Helps to enable a microcap company to qualify for a broader stock

exchange (NASDAQ National/ NYSE AMEX), with hopefully a better reflected share price

Prospects for greater liquidity and increased average daily volume Ability to provide post-transaction, investor relations support Dilution is minimal – typically 7% or less

Interested companies should contact Bob Roach ([email protected]), Bilal Basrai ([email protected]) or your Nile relationship manager
