KRW01-Dec-21408 000 00001-Feb-22204 000 000 612 000 000

The above repayment terms are normalcredit terms.

On 1 October 2021 Satoshientered into a five-month forwardexchange contract (FEC) for the KRW 204 000 000 payable on 1 February 2022 in order to hedge itself against foreign currency risk at a forward rate of KRW 1 = N$0,01.

500 000. Satoshi holds these bonds to collect the contractual cash flows and, when an opportunity arises,it will sell the bondsto re-invest the cash in other financial assets at a higher return.
