NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Timeless Luxury Group AG ("TIMELESS“ or the "Company“), a Swiss based company focused on offering luxury holiday villas, resorts and lifestyle products (www.timeless-luxury.com), announced today that it has launched its Digital Security Offering (DSO) with TriPoint Global Equities, LLC, a United States registered broker dealer. The offering of the ERC20-based digital security called TMLS Tokens (“TMLS“) will be available directly at www.banq.co/listings/timeless. The Company is offering a maximum of 100,000,000 TMLS Tokens at a price of USD 1.00 per TMLS (the "Offering“). The minimum investment amount for an investor is USD 1,000.00 (or 1,000 TMLS).
The DSO structure offers investors the opportunity to participate in
future profits and sales
TMLS offer investors the opportunity
to participate in the planned development of the Company, by providing a
right to earn a specified percentage of certain future Company profits.
TMLS holders are entitled to receive 40% of the earnings before taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBTDA“) per annum from the business
segments TIMELESS HIDEAWAYS and TIMELESS RESORTS and 10% of revenues of
the TIMELESS YACHTS and TIMELESS SELECTION divisions, as well as the
planned global franchise concept, if and when such profits and revenues
are earned. In addition, as a bonus, holders of at least 1,000 TMLS will
receive a discount of 20% on bookings of TIMELESS HIDEAWAYS or TIMELESS
RESORTS.
"It is important to us that we offer our investors an attractive and coherent overall concept with our DSO. We are on the starting ramp of a dynamic growth path and want to use any funds flowing from the DSO to lead TIMELESS into a new dimension together with our investors", emphasized Michael Gössl, founder and CEO of TIMELESS.
TriPoint Global Equities, LLC, working with its online division BANQ® (www.banq.co), will act as the lead managing placement agent for investors in the Offering. The Company seeks to raise up to USD 100 million for the development of up to 41 new hideaway properties and a planned resort through the DSO. TMLS Tokens are issued in accordance with the Ethereum ERC-20 standard and in the United States, pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Regulation D, Rule 506(c) and to international investors using Regulation S. The Reg D 506(c) DSO will be offered and sold to accredited investors only. This DSO will be the first offering in the United States to use an SEC Registered Transfer Agent for the issuance and custody of digital securities by engaging New York City based Vstock Transfer, LLC powered by www.custodyware.com.
TIMELESS HIDEAWAYS: Core of the business
The TIMELESS
HIDEAWAYS division, the core of the business, comprises the planned
development and operation of rental luxury chalets and villas in
vacation destinations throughout Europe and the world. "Our planned
TIMELESS high-quality Hideaways will combine luxury, comfort,
functionality and tranquility in a unique way to create a relaxing
experience for discerning travelers“, says CEO Michael Gössl. The
Company´s business plan is based on the success of two existing “Concept
Properties,“ the luxury chalet “TIMELESS HIDEAWAY Wilder Kaiser“ (since
2015) and the villa “TIMELESS HIDEAWAY Zell am See“ (since 2017), which
are owned and managed by entities for which Gössl is also a majority
shareholder and CEO. Both the chalet and the villa achieved occupancy
rates of over seventy percent (70%) in 2017 and 2018. If the Company
raises a minimum of USD 1 million in the DSO, it expects such other
entities to transfer the operation and management of the Concept
Properties to the Company. Management believes that the demand for
high-quality holiday homes has risen significantly in recent years1
and believes such trends will continue. At the same time, the market is
highly fragmented and management believes that this offers unique growth
opportunities for TIMELESS.
After successfully demonstrating the business concept and using the operations of the Concept Properties for analysis and optimization, TIMELESS Management decided to expand the concept and is developing a well filled project pipeline. TIMELESS will use the funds raised in the DSO to both acquire and develop its own properties based on the success to date of the Concept Properties and expand the concept. Management has already identified numerous sites for potential Hideaway properties and plans to use funds from the DSO to acquire and develop said properties. Management may also use funds to purchase semi-finished properties, provided they fit into the Company‘s planned portfolio and meet the Company´s quality requirements. Management also believes that the Hideaway concept may lend itself to a franchising opportunity and if funds permit, TIMELESS plans to launch a global franchise concept in the future.
TIMELESS RESORTS: Transferring the successful Hideaway concept to the
development of resorts
In addition to TIMELESS HIDEAWAYS,
Management intends to apply their Hideaway concept to Resort properties
via their TIMELESS RESORTS division. The Company plans to build its
first resort, the "TIMELESS CHALET RESORT Wilder Kaiser" in Austria near
the famous city of Kitzbuehel. The Company‘s CEO is the majority owner
of an unaffiliated entity that has a contract to purchase a 38,000 sqm
plot and a term sheet with one of the largest hotel chains in the world
to operate the planned resort. If the Company raises a minimum of USD 1
million in the DSO, it expects that the management and development
rights of the property will be transferred to the Company. "We are far
along with the planning of our first resort. We intend to start
marketing the resort as early as the end of 2020 if funds are available
for its construction and development" Gössl says, providing an insight
into further development.
TIMELESS YACHTS & TIMELESS SELECTION: Extension of the brand to other
luxury sectors
Management also plans to extend the TIMELESS
brand to other suitable sectors beyond real estate. As part of this
process, if the Company raises a minimum of USD 1 million in the DSO, it
expects the operation and management of TIMELESS YACHTS and TIMELESS
SELECTION, which are currently operated (as a separate division) by a
separate entity that is majority owned by our CEO, to be transferred to
the Company. TIMELESS SELECTION provides high-quality spirits, wines and
cigars under a licensing agreement with one supplier for guests of the
Concept Properties and for online sales. TIMELESS YACHTS operates a
yacht, called the Ocean Club, that was first presented at the
international boat show in Düsseldorf in 2017 and is currently chartered
out of Mallorca, Spain.
After the anticipated transfer, if Management is successful in developing the TIMELESS SELECTION portfolio, they plan to expand their offering to wholesalers and retailers in the future. Profits, if any, from the Hideaways and/or Resort will be used to fund these divisions.
“The result of our combined experience in project development, high-quality real estate and brand development, is a whole lifestyle experience under one single brand“, says Prof. Dr. Arnold Weissman, shareholder and member of the Executive Board of Timeless. “We believe that we have thus created a unique selling proposition with the potential to develop a sustainable competitive advantage and a strong luxury brand.“
