Through this partnership, HFI will offer companies and investors in South Korea 
more access to private markets through CapBridge's innovative private capital 
eco-system. 

The CapBridge private capital platform undertakes primary capital raising 
activities, while its affiliate 1exchange ("1X") is Singapore's only licensed 
and regulated private exchange, facilitating the fair and orderly trading of 
private equities. 

Johnson Chen, founder and CEO of CapBridge, said, "We are pleased to have the 
support of Hana Financial Investment, as we continue to extend our footprint in 
Asia. We look forward to offering more value to clients of HFI, as we work 
together to create investment opportunities through CapBridge and our private 
securities exchange 1X for companies and investors in South Korea."

Lee Jin-kook, CEO of HFI, said, ""Hana Financial Investment is making steady 
efforts to create a global investment model to enable more active overseas 
exchanges between the local industries and local venture capital. We will 
actively support local unlisted companies to increase exchanges with overseas 
investors, resulting in more investment."

The partnership will make it more convenient for unlisted companies in South 
Korea to attract investments from abroad. Through CapBridge and 1X, qualified 
investors in South Korea will also be able to access more foreign private 
investment opportunities. 

1X recently saw its first ever private company listing. After a short six-week 
campaign that saw hundreds of highly-interested investors committing bids, 
Singapore-based boutique fund management company Aggregate Asset Management 
("AAM") listed on 1X with over SGD5.6 million worth of tradeable private 
equities representing approximately 5% of the company's share equity.

HFI's move reflects its intention to create a global investment platform model. 
The leading financial services company has been actively linking investment 
destinations and investors together in order to create a global business 
eco-system, led by Hana Bank.

This partnership comes on the back of recent collaborations by CapBridge with 
leading financial institutions, including United Overseas Bank and CIMB.

About CapBridge 

CapBridge operates a global investment syndication platform for private 
opportunities. The CapBridge co-investment syndication platform serves 
mid-to-late stage growth companies and the funds that focus on them. Our 
co-investment model is built with investors in mind. We first bring 
opportunities to lead investors, who leverage their specific industry knowledge 
to conduct due diligence, negotiate value adding investment structures, and 
manage their portfolio positions to the desired exit. 

We then open up the same opportunities to co-investors as they leverage on the 
lead investors' expertise in specific industry fields and diligence work. 
Co-investors sign with the same terms as the lead investors and realize better 
risk-adjusted returns and a more likely exit. Companies benefit from working 
with lead investors who understand their sector well and can directly value- 
add, as well as broadening the shareholder base with co-investors who can add 
network connectivity and assist towards a more successful listing further down 
the road. 

The co-investment process is conducted electronically on our intelligent 
platform, which works ceaselessly to match deals with investors and facilitate 
the deal process. 

CapBridge has a Capital Markets Services License and is regulated by the 
Monetary Authority of Singapore. Singapore Exchange (SGX) is a strategic 
partner and shareholder. For more information on the CapBridge co-investment
