How the ACQUA1 deal is structured
Capital structure, exchange mechanics, governance, and the path from token to realized value.
Deal Structure
Designed for portfolio expansion.
C-Corp common equity tokenized under Reg D 506(c). The structure is built so future LabCo additions don't reset holding-period clocks or dilute existing share.
Structural Advantages
- Future Lab Companies added to the existing token structure
- No holding period reset when new ventures launch
- Automatic participation in portfolio expansion
- Single token provides diversified exposure across all companies
- Pro-rata economics simplify value calculation and distribution
Token Mechanics
ACQUA1 Token Structure
Tokenized Common Equity
A single security token, structured as C-Corp common equity in the Liquid Mercury Labs operating company.
Reg D Rule 506(c)
A private offering for verified accredited investors. Resale restrictions apply per securities regulations.
One Token, Whole Portfolio
Pro-rata exposure to every current and future Lab Company, with no holding-period resets as the portfolio grows.
Exchange Mechanics
Acquire MERC
Acquire MERC, Liquid Mercury's token, on the open market at the prevailing price.
Convert to ACQUA1
Convert MERC into ACQUA1 through the secure swap mechanism at the offering's fixed rate.
Receive ACQUA1
ACQUA1 is distributed after verification clears. Its value is set by the offering, not by the future MERC price.
