Flourish City Development’s AGWD becomes the first Digital Asset Token Offering approved by CEZA

PHILIPPINES / July 16, 2019

FLOURISH CITY DEVELOPMENT LIMITED (“FCD”) today announces that AGWD is the first asset-backed token approved by Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (“CEZA”) and Asia Blockchain and Crypto Association (“ABACA”) under CEZA’s Digital Asset Token Offering (“DATO”) Rules. The AGWD tokens will be offered to accredited investors and will be traded on Cryptosx Digital Assets Exchange (“Cryptosx”) licensed by CEZA.

FCD is a leading plantation owner, developer and producer of agarwood, oud oil, and related products. Agarwood is a fragrant dark resinous wood used in incense, perfume, Chinese medicine and small carvings. First-grade agarwood is one of the most expensive natural raw materials in the world.

FCD is planning to raise USD4.9 million from the sale of 40 million AGWD tokens. Each AGWD token is backed by one common share of FCD. The net proceeds will be used to expand and develop FCD’s agarwood plantation.

Mr Simon Choi, the CEO and Director of FCD, is excited for the launch of AGWD tokens. “The current global market for agarwood is valued at about USD8 billion and growing rapidly from unmet and increasing demand. The oud oil extracted from agarwood is well known as ‘liquid gold’ and is highly coveted by many industries, forcing prices to rise in excess of 16% per annum. We believe through investing in AGWD tokens, investors will help write history and be able to leverage blockchain technology to benefit from our agarwood business.”

FCD believes the listing of AGWD tokens will be transformational for its business and help strengthen its leadership role in biotechnology and the development of agarwood while enlarging its investment portfolio at the same time.
