-------------------------

Part 1: Salutary’s Enforcement Ethos

Change incentives, change outcomes. Value accumulates in a business asset through accountability, which is synonymous with enforceability.

If you don't make the most money by creating the most value, then parasites thrive. The incentives must be aligned with positive behaviors, or positive behaviors won't manifest. This begins with the tokens. Right now, a corrupt asset has produced corrupt incentives, leading to corrupt behaviors. Change incentives = change outcomes.

Salutary aligns founder and tokenholder incentives for fundamentals by allowing the token to forcibly effect a change of control (COC) over the business. The business is valuable because it produces cashflows, the token is valuable because it controls the business. The value of a token is what it does. Salutary tokens… do things. Enforceably.

There is nothing more important to Salutary than aligning tokenholder and business incentives around fundamental value creation. For this to occur, the token must be a credible, accountable vehicle to control the business that issues them.

This means there is nothing more important to us than enforcement of M&A events. If we don’t have enforcement, we don’t have token alignment with business fundamentals.

Tokens won’t express fundamentals if they provide “meh, only if I feel like it” M&A transactions.

-------------------------

NOTE: Market pricing mechanisms operate independently of Salutary's enforcement framework.  Neither Salutary nor its partners guarantee any correlation between token price, business performance, or enforcement proceedings (if necessary). Pricing is determined by market forces and may not reflect business intrinsic value.

Nothing in this document is legal, tax, or investment advice

-------------------------

The Nature of Enforcement

Enforcement is necessarily an atoms-based construct. Incentives can exist onchain, enforcement cannot. You cannot be made to do things onchain. "Made to" means otherwise there are physical repercussions; this does not reside in the domain of bits, but the world of atoms. Concepts like this are what we mean when we speak of "natural law"; distributed databases don't undo canons of contract violations.

Investability doesn't come without accountability. An asset is only investable when the issuer of the asset is accountable to it in some way. Think of any company-issued asset and assess what its accountability looks like, and how it manifests.

Bonds have covenants. Stocks have controlling teeth.What do tokens have? This is a problem. This is what Salutary definitively addresses.

When you have a nuclear weapon, you don’t need to use it all that much to elicit the behaviors you want. Just the awareness of the weapon causes the game theory and strategy of the dynamic to change. But if called on to detonate, it must work. You must be willing to Go There if someone crosses a redline for the redline to be respected. The market must believe these are acquisition events, not acquisition suggestions. If the enforcement of valid events is in doubt, we cannot expect the tokens to adequately align with business fundamentals.

If it doesn’t work in the most-hostile environment, then it doesn’t work. Salutary is engineered to work in hostility. So much so that bad faith actors hopefully don't see a point in starting them. Peace through strength: enforcement edition.

The game theory of Salutary’s structuring can be found in the essay If It Happened Onchain, Did It Happen In Real Life?

-------------------------

NOTE: Salutary tokens are “change of control” instruments that facilitate the transfer of company assets under certain ownership percentages. There are no promises of profit, cashflow claims, or dividends that accompany them. Neither Salutary nor its partners guarantee any correlation between token price and business performance. Pricing is determined by market forces and may not reflect business intrinsic value. Enforcement actions may produce substantial market volatility.

-------------------------

Suggestions vs Votes

We use the term “vote” erroneously in DeFi; a vote is something you must do. However, there is no real enforcement for anything in crypto; who’s making you implement governance actions you dislike? They are not voting tokens, they are suggestion tokens.

Salutary tokens are M&A voting tokens. We enshrine rights that institutions require to take a position in an asset. Once the market understands the tokens are now genuine control vehicles for businesses, incentives change, and behaviors follow suit.

When creating value is how you make the most money, then value creation will be ascendent. When honest activities yield the most reward, then honest behaviors become the norm. Salutary creates a healthy feedback loop for the market and founders.

We do it by combining battle-tested international legal frameworks with our innovative token-driven acquisition model to create a new value-driven standard for tokens. The following sections explain how we enforce our contracts globally and ensure M&A events are respected across jurisdictions.

-------------------------

Part 2: Strategic Considerations

Salutary’s transfer process is designed to effect changes in stewardship, not ownership; this is an important securities distinction. Securities facilitate ownership changes and Salutary is not transferring ownership, as a legal matter.

We're not asking courts to recognize tokens as ownership assets, nor are they with Salutary. Instead, tokens act as legal triggers for a “change of control” that places the business and its assets into a foundation, and the foundation is then transferred to and controlled by the acquirer. This “change of control” mechanism is a crucial distinction that makes our model legally robust while allowing the tokens to become business-aligned instruments.

We assess partner jurisdictions based on enforcement reliability and strategic importance. We will work to establish and maintain personal relationships with courts and direct paths for dispute reconciliation that will strengthen over time. Our enforcement table (live document) will provide an ongoing lens into country-specific considerations, however the core principle remains: we use the most efficient and reliable mechanism available in each jurisdiction to ensure compliance with M&A events.

Important: Salutary follows the letter of the law as it pertains to international rules surrounding asset transfers. We deploy well-known legal structures and cross-border enforcement treaties to accomplish our M&A events. We follow the same protocols as any cross-border corporate contract. Any risks or shortcomings here are not Salutary specific, they are part of the nature of global enforcement. There is nothing novel in respect to how Salutary upholds its contracts.

Private equity firms, hedge funds, and multinational corporations use the same cross-border frameworks as Salutary to protect their rights and contractual obligations globally. We're bringing this proven approach to crypto.

A note on compliance: businesses partner with Salutary because they want to partake in this value-creating framework. The voluntary opt-in nature of Salutary acts as a self-selection for partners that should embrace our process, as they are explicitly endorsing it when partnering. We are not forcing this on them, they are welcoming it. 

Our framework is built on established international law, with enforceability rooted in legal precedence, not technical complexity or legal innovations. This established law is the backing that underscores everyone acts honestly and is held accountable. This document may seem intense, but it’s our hope we rarely need to deploy it.

We are not reinventing any legal wheels, we are simply applying them to a domain that has never seen a tire before.

Peace through strength. Value through accountability. Accountability through enforcement.

-------------------------

Part 3: Salutary’s Enforcement Tools

The enforceability of Salutary contracts rests on two powerful international legal frameworks: The New York Convention and Bilateral Investment Treaties. Both serve distinct purposes in protecting our rights, those of our partners, and execution of M&A events. Salutary is a Singapore Private Limited Company.

Please note: as the legal environment evolves, so will we. The only thing that’s permanent is change. We will adapt to hurdles as they arise. Salutary reserves all rights available under applicable law and may deploy additional remedies as circumstances warrant.

1. The New York Convention (primary path) and RECJA

The 1958 Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention) is the backbone of modern international commercial dispute resolution. With over 170 signatory countries, it ensures that arbitration awards from one country are enforceable in another. When a company partners with Salutary, they agree to binding Singaporean SIAC arbitration provisions; these judgements are cross-border respected via NY Convention enforcement. We use a proven international framework that's facilitated trillions in global trade.

The NY Convention is the primary route for cross-border enforceability of our contracts. The Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (RECJA/REFJA) will also be used as expedient (applicable to commonwealth countries).

2. Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs)

BITs are defensive tools used when state actors interfere with legitimate commercial rights. Salutary does not leverage investment treaties for ordinary disputes.

BITs provide an additional layer of enforcement protection, which is particularly valuable in jurisdictions where commercial contract enforcement might face challenges, or where NY Convention procedures are not as reliable. Singapore's extensive BIT network gives us access to investment-protection mechanisms. This is useful if Salutary experiences potential government interference or discriminatory treatment. BITs will be a secondary enforcement route, should we need it.

NOTE: BITs serve as a defensive mechanism when Salutary or its partners face discriminatory treatment or expropriation by state actors. We do not use BITs for standard commercial disputes; they exist solely to protect against government interference with valid business operations.

Enforcement Limitations and Discretion

While Salutary maintains robust enforcement capabilities, we operate within practical and legal constraints:

• All enforcement actions are subject to applicable law and commercial feasibility

• Salutary reserves full discretion in selecting enforcement methodology based on jurisdiction, asset location, and cost-effectiveness

• No guarantee of successful enforcement exists in all jurisdictions. Some countries may present insurmountable legal or practical barriers (something we will adapt to accordingly)

• Enforcement timelines vary significantly by jurisdiction and cannot be guaranteed

This framework represents Salutary's standard procedures. Actual enforcement will depend on specific facts, applicable law, and financial considerations. Salutary maintains full discretion in enforcement decisions and will use commercially reasonable efforts, where lawful and economically practicable, within legal frameworks to enforce certified acquisition events.

-------------------------

NOTE: Salutary's role is limited to certification of legitimate acquisition events and administrative legal enforcement assistance. We verify threshold crossing, validate token accumulation, and coordinate the legal transfer process. We are not principals in the transaction. Any dispute or claims made against Salutary must be resolved by individual SIAC arbitration seated in Singapore; class or representative actions are expressly waived. Secondary-market purchasers have no privity with Salutary. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and actual outcomes may differ.

-------------------------

Part 4: Salutary's Enforcement Architecture

Our contracts are engineered for global enforceability and adaptability. They’re architected to leverage NY Convention, RECJA, and BIT frameworks, prioritizing the most-efficient path to enforcement in every jurisdiction. This framework reflects current legal analysis and may be updated as regulatory environments evolve. All enforcement actions remain subject to applicable law at time of performance. 

Here's how on overview of how we structure and implement our partner agreements:

Core Contract Elements
Every Salutary agreement includes the following stipulations:

Salutary reserves final authority to certify acquisition legitimacy.

• Mandatory SIAC Arbitration Clause and Singaporean governing law

  • Explicit consent to SIAC jurisdiction

  • Clear scope of arbitrable matters (everything related to a change of control event)

  • Emergency arbitrator provisions\

• Enforcement consent under the NY Convention (cross-border enforceability)

• Waiver of sovereign immunity. This prevents the counterparty from claiming they can't be sued because they are linked to a government.

• Explicit consent to cross-border asset disclosure for enforcement.

• Explicit recognition of tokens as acquisition vehicles.

  • Tokens are defined as legally binding asset-transfer vehicles under Singapore law.

• Notarized Execution

  • All signatures legally notarized to prevent disputes over consent.

  • Jurisdictional adaptability: Notarization standards tailored to partner’s location.

• Force Majeure & Regulatory Safeguards

  • Force Majeure limited to:

• Change in law making specific performance illegal

• War/terrorism directly preventing asset access

• Natural disaster preventing operations >72 hours

• Court order specifically prohibiting transfer

• Regulatory changes that would expose Salutary to liability

  • Including but not limited to: material changes in applicable law, international sanctions, or banking/financial infrastructure disruptions preventing performance.

• Regulatory shift protocols: Eg. if a jurisdiction changes laws for crypto mid-process:

  • Jurisdiction shift: Relocate enforcement to a NY Convention-compliant jurisdiction.

  • Termination rights: Exit clauses with compensation mechanisms if enforcement becomes impossible.

Explicit Force Majeure exclusions: blockchain forks, network congestion, technical difficulties, market volatility, or asset price changes shall NOT constitute force majeure.

• Token Accumulation Legitimacy

  • Acquirer identity verified by Salutary pre-enforcement

  • Token accumulation audits to confirm compliance with contractual thresholds.

  • KYC/AML performed as required by jurisdiction for legal transfer of business assets

  • Anti-Gaming Provisions

    • Procedures to invalidate acquisitions if counterparties manipulate token holdings or vote. E.g. flash-loan votes or other invalid acquisition actions.

    • Salutary may employ blockchain forensics, pattern analysis, AI, and coordination detection algorithms. Attempts to manipulate acquisition thresholds through wash trading, flash loans, or coordinated action will result in immediate disqualification and potential legal action.

Forensic-Review Extension: If Salutary reasonably determines that additional forensic work is required to validate token accumulation or voting integrity, all related response deadlines are extended to accommodate the review.

Additional Proactive Measures

• Regulatory Radar: Continuous monitoring of jurisdictions for relevant law changes.

• Asset Maps: Continuous asset profiles (location and amounts) maintained as part of Salutary financial audits and reporting.

• Dispute Insurance: Optional coverage for partners in high-risk jurisdictions (for later version of Salutary).

-------------------------

Part 5: The Standard Acquisition

Salutary’s enforcement process combines legal precision with operational readiness. Here’s how we ensure seamless transition when an M&A event occurs:

Pre-Enforcement Phase

• Document token threshold crossing and legitimacy of token accumulation and vote

• Verify acquirer and document as needed (KYC/AML as required by jurisdiction)

• Prepare transfer documentation and foundation preparation process

• Engage local regulatory network (if necessary)

Completion

• Timely execution of transfer is top priority for Salutary

• Foundation conversion preparation and execution

  • Asset transferred into new foundation structure

• Transfer technical control of the new foundation structure to new acquirer

• Management transition planning and processing

• Update regulatory filings (if necessary)

• Provide periodic, accurate updates, in a manner and frequency legally warranted

Fiduciary Disclaimer: Salutary’s participation on any interim multisig or temporary asset custody is purely mechanical; no trust, agency, or fiduciary duty is created or implied.

If the COC event starts to turn hostile (either side resists legal processes or becomes recalcitrant to process completion), Salutary will begin proceedings to:

• Initiate Singapore SIAC arbitration (primary path) under NY Convention.

• Deploy asset preservation strategies: Freeze orders, escrow controls, and blockchain-based token locks (Salutary v1 and later may have these abilities).

• Engage management transparently and publicly to minimize operational disruption.

Continued in Part 6: The Hostile Acquisition

-------------------------

Part 6: The Hostile Acquisition

If the either party resists the transfer of assets after a valid, certified “change of control” vote, it will be considered a hostile event from Salutary’s perspective. Salutary follows a strategic enforcement framework based on the jurisdiction of the combative party in question. Below, we outline how we approach enforcement across various scenarios.

All enforcement actions remain subject to cost-benefit analysis and commercial reasonableness standards. Salutary will not pursue enforcement where costs would materially exceed recoverable value or where local conditions make enforcement not feasible. We will do what we can to proactively avoid such situations, but cannot guarantee against them. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and actual outcomes may differ.

Partners contractually agree to reimburse all enforcement costs, including legal fees, arbitration expenses, and public communication costs, on a full indemnity basis.

Please note: this is a live framework that adapts to changing circumstances. It will evolve as the environment does.

All hostile events will include:

• High-profile public awareness to notify tokenholders of enforcement proceedings

  • Salutary will provide prominent transparency via mediums including but not limited to online social media and media outlets. This will always be grounded in factual accuracy.

  • NOTE: Salutary will issue factual, counsel-reviewed updates regarding enforcement proceedings through appropriate channels. All communications will be limited to verifiable facts directly relevant to enforcement proceedings. No defamatory or misleading statements will be made. 

• Parallel criminal escalation efforts where appropriate.

  • Referral to appropriate authorities if evidence suggests violations of criminal law, subject to prosecutorial discretion.

• Investors will be publicly updated on the transfer and how Salutary is fighting to complete legitimate acquisition events.

• Class-Action Facilitation Clause: Salutary will facilitate investor access to relevant information should any choose to individually pursue the recalcitrant party; individual or collective legal remedies remain solely at tokenholders’ discretion.

• Salutary always knows who our counterparties are. If fraudulent actions are taken, factual disclosures will be made public regarding them.

NOTE: All public statements by Salutary are limited to good-faith factual reporting and exclude speculative or defamatory content. Salutary will employ all lawful means to enforce legitimate change-of-control events. All public-facing communications concerning an enforcement action will be issued exclusively through counsel-reviewed fact sheets.

Contract Enforcement for NY Convention-Aligned Jurisdictions (90%+ of cases):

• Process: SIAC arbitration win → Local court enforcement (cross border) → Asset transfer.

• Clear documentation submitted of token acquisition event to legal contacts

• Special considerations:

  • Optional Freeze + Escrow Back-stop: Where onchain freeze tooling is technically feasible, Salutary may deploy it. If not, the acquirer and owner may pre-fund an escrow equal up to 10 % of token supply. This is detailed in the Salutary MSEA, visible in the Partner Portal.

  • Asset-preservation orders issued to local legal network/regulators

  • Parallel crypto/fiat recovery to circumvent jurisdictional delays.

• Emergency measures as needed (eg. Mareva injunction, local asset-freezing orders)

Commonwealth Jurisdictions

• Direct enforcement under The Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (REFJA/REFJA)

• Rapid recognition of Singapore SIAC judgments via this route

State-Driven Challenges (BIT Pathway)

BITs are last-resort tools, we always prefer collaboration over confrontation.

• Trigger: Government action blocks enforcement (e.g., voids tokes/agreement).

  • Process:

    • ISDS arbitration under Singapore’s BIT network.

    • Diplomatic engagement to align state interests with Salutary’s resolution.

• Government-relations strategy to expedite process if necessary

• Cooling-off period management: BITs sometimes require a waiting period (typically 3-6 months) before arbitration can commence. During this period, Salutary will:

  • Gather additional evidence

  • Secure key witnesses

  • Document any continuing violations

  • Engage in settlement discussions, if productive

  • Prepare parallel enforcement strategies

    • Standard commercial arbitration

    • Local court proceedings where strategic

    • Regulatory complaints where applicable

    • Referral to appropriate authorities for criminal proceedings if evidence suggests violations of criminal law, subject to prosecutorial discretion. 

-------------------------

Why Salutary Works

• Legal Depth: Combines established legal roadmap with ironclad contracts. Salutary’s legal network will only grow stronger and more connected in time, making acquisitions an increasingly streamlined, defined process.

• Operational Excellence: Pre-mapped assets and strict enforcement policies leave us prepared as you can be

• Transparency: Partners and investors receive real-time updates, ensuring market confidence.

We hope this is unnecessary, but should it be needed, we will be ready. Salutary believes only if it works in the most-hostile environment, does it truly work. We prepare for the worst so you can expect the best. When creating value and acting honestly creates the most prosperous outcomes, then honest actions become ascendent.

-------------------------

RISK DISCLOSURES & DISCLAIMERS

Salutary tokens are "change-of-control" governance instruments that may, at predefined thresholds, facilitate an enforceable transfer of business assets. They do not confer any rights to profit participation, dividends, revenue shares, or any guarantee of market valuations. Neither Salutary nor its partners makes any representation that token price will correlate with business performance. Market pricing is determined by independent actors and may not reflect intrinsic value.

Enforcement of acquisition events remains subject to applicable law, commercial feasibility, and jurisdictional constraints. Salutary reserves sole discretion in selecting enforcement methodology based on cost-effectiveness and legal practicability. No guarantee of successful enforcement exists in all jurisdictions. If enforcement actions prove unlawful, expose the company or its principals to disproportionate risk, or become economically impracticable, Salutary reserves sole discretion to suspend, modify, or decline proceedings.

All disputes must be resolved by individual SIAC arbitration seated in Singapore; class or representative actions are waived. All disputes arising under this Framework are subject to individual arbitration under SIAC Rules in Singapore. Class, collective, or representative actions are expressly waived.

This information is for educational purposes and is not an offer of securities nor is it legal or tax advice. Tokenholders should consult their own advisors regarding the implications of any acquisition event.

Any protections described herein are contractual governance mechanisms, not guarantees of economic outcome. They are designed to create procedural fairness and transparent processes, not to ensure any particular market result or token valuation.

Salutary documentation may contain forward-looking statements regarding potential acquisition scenarios and enforcement mechanisms. Actual results may differ materially due to factors beyond Salutary's control.

This document is proprietary to Salutary Pte. Ltd. and subject to the terms of the Master Services & Enforcement Agreement.

Contracts may be amended to comply with evolving law. If modifications are made, Salutary and partners will issue public communication. Tokenholders should rely only on the latest version of partner contracts available in the Partner Portal.

This draft supersedes all prior public drafts; content may change without notice.
