The Crowdfunding Formula sets precedent for companies combining  innovation and global thinking with its bond launch - message to  entire ecosystem

ArmInfo. The bonds of The Crowdfunding Formula (TCF), one of the leading companies in Armenia providing innovative and non-standard investment solutions, have been listed on the Armenian Stock Exchange (AMX) in the Bbond list. As noted in the AMX press release, TCF is the first technology company in Armenia to issue securities.

By issuing bonds, the company seeks not only to diversify its sources  of financing, but also to offer new opportunities to local investors.

Within this tranche, the company issued 4,000 bonds with a total  volume of 400 million drams, each with a par value of 100 thousand  drams. The coupon yield is set at 12.75%, and the circulation period  is 36 months and expires on January 7, 2028. The coupon payments are  scheduled to be made quarterly. These bonds were issued on January 7,  2025, the initial placement ended on February 24, and they began to  be listed on the stock exchange on April 7. The underwriter for the  initial placement was Dimension Investment Company, and the market  maker was INECOBANK.

As AMX CEO Hayk Yeganyan emphasized: "Listing of the technology  company's bonds is an important message for all market participants.  The capital market is open to enterprises of all sectors. This is a  great example of how any company can evaluate debt instruments to  develop its business and enter new markets."

Director and co-founder of TCF Narek Vardanyan, for his part, noted:  "This is an important step in the history of our company's  development, symbolizing not only our strategy of sustainable growth  and expansion, but also faith in the possibilities and future of the  Armenian financial system. The initial placement of bonds was  completed ahead of schedule, the demand was high and it turned out  that some potential investors did not have time to purchase them, but  now they will have such an opportunity on the exchange. We are glad  that with this step we have created a precedent for companies that  combine innovation, global thinking and faith in the local market -  this is a message to the entire ecosystem."
