VOX BRINGS WIDESPREAD WORLDWIDE ADOPTION OF CRYPTOCURRENCY AS A MEANS OF PAYMENT<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zug, Switzerland – September 14, 2018 –<\/strong> Horizon Globex GmbH of Switzerland (“Globex”), an established Swiss software and communications business, announced its $35,000,000 Initial Coin Offering (“ICO”) today. Globex is offering VOX tokens to power Talketh1<\/sup>, its communications and blockchain crypto-payments service, https:\/\/talketh.io<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Worldwide Crypto Payments: Talketh is a smartphone communications app with its own Ethereum cryptocurrency wallet and frictionless blockchain payment service. The World Bank estimates1<\/sup> that 1.7 billion adults remain unbanked, yet two-thirds of them own a mobile phone. Talketh bridges this gap with its cryptocurrency scratch-card that’s distributed in emerging markets, paid for in local fiat currency, and is then redeemed for Internet call-credit, without the need for a bank account. Low cost Internet calls used to be only for those fortunate enough to have a bank account, not anymore! This is the blockchain reinventing yet another industry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Calls for All: The Talketh app is powered by Globex’s patented ultra-low bandwidth voice software.  The GSMA estimates2<\/sup> that there are 3.3 billion mobile Internet users with just 29% having access to high-speed broadband.  Globex’s optimized app needs 9x less Internet speed than Skype3<\/sup> and was designed to work for all mobile Internet users, especially for those 2.3 billion people connected to a slower 2G and 3G mobile Internet service typically found in emerging markets.<\/p>\n

Leveraging Globex’s 8+ years’ experience delivering mobile communications and driven by its powerful management team, Globex is breaking-down technology barriers and delivering a blockchain-enabled communications service that can be used from New York to Nairobi. Talketh users can call each other for free or they can choose to seamlessly pay a small amount on the blockchain to digitally call a local landline, a cell phone or even call loved-ones overseas; at prices well below their local cellular operators.<\/p>\n

The Company seeks to raise up to $35 million to fuel Talketh expansion, marketing and operations by issuing the VOX tokens.  The VOX token is issued in accordance with the Ethereum ERC-20 standard and pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D, Rule 506(c) registration-exemption.  In addition, VOX is designated as a Utility token pursuant to the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority token offering guidelines published on February 16th<\/sup>, 2018.<\/p>\n

Utilizing Globex’s proprietary KYC smartphone app, ICO participants can safely purchase VOX tokens using US Dollars, Swiss Francs, Ether or Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
