Emergent Order Ltd Token Offering
Last Updated: December 5, 2023
General Information
Emergent Order Ltd (EO) has been created for the express purpose of managing donations for the
acquisition of, and improvements to, real estate for the exclusive benefit of the Fraternal Order
of Porcupines (FOP). All donations to EO will go directly to the acquisition of real estate,
improvements of purchased real estate, and operational costs associated with purchased real
estate (e.g. property taxes, utility payments, maintenance/repair, business expenses, and other
costs associated with the acquisition and management of real estate.) No Board Member or employee
of Emergent Order Ltd will receive any form of compensation derived from donations not earmarked
for such purpose.
Emergent Order Ltd will be issuing a fixed number of SLP tokens called “QUILL” using Bitcoin Cash
(BCH) as the blockchain platform. The purpose of the QUILL token is as a tracking mechanism for EO
to determine when the assets of EO will be donated to the FOP. They are not speculative instruments
and there is no expectation of their rising in value. For every $1000 donated to EO, the donor will
have the option of receiving one QUILL token.
Accepting the transfer of one or more QUILL tokens
will imply your acceptance of the “Emergent Order Ltd Token Policies”, the “Emergent Order Ltd
Token Holder Usage Agreement”, and the “Emergent Order Ltd Auction Policies”. The initial version
of these policies are found in this document. These policies are subject to change at any time by
the Board of Emergent Order Ltd solely. The current authoritative policy can be viewed at any time
at
https://emergentorder.io/EO_policies.html.
The purpose of the QUILL token is to provide donors with an opportunity to recover their donation.
At least quarterly, EO will execute a token buy back auction, the total amount to be determined by
the EO Board. Additional auctions may be authorized by the EO Board. For all auctions, the method
used will be a reverse auction, that is the lowest bidder(s) will win the auction. Auctions will be
announced on the EO website (
https://emergentorder.io) and
all QUILL token holders have the opportunity to participate. Please see “Emergent Order Ltd Auction
Policies” for more detail.
Operations
EO will be the legal entity which purchases the real estate. FOP will pay rent to EO for the use of
that real estate until such time that the FOP either purchases the assets of EO at fair market price
or returns all (or a sufficient number of, as determined by the EO Board) QUILL tokens to EO. At that
point, ownership of purchased real estate by EO will be donated to the FOP. Until that transfer, EO
will manage the building. Rents collected will be used for taxes, maintenance, necessary improvements,
or other common operational costs. Excess capital, minus a three month operating budget will be used
for token buy back auctions. Once the real estate transfer is completed, the Board of EO will decide
whether EO will dissolve or if it will issue a new token to support the acquisition of additional real
estate for the benefit of the FOP.
At the discretion of the EO board, the FOP may at times be offered the opportunity to pay its rent to
EO using QUILL tokens.
