Background of the Acquisition

As financial trading algorithms and quantitative analysis become increasingly prevalent in financial markets, Goldman Sachs recognized the need to strengthen its technological capabilities in this area. XORKETS FX is renowned for its advanced algorithmic trading systems and data processing capabilities, which can help financial trading institutions conduct market forecasting and trading risk management more efficiently. As a leader in the global financial asset management industry, Goldman Sachs sought to gain a significant presence in the financial exchange sector through the acquisition of XORKETS FX, while continuously innovating in quantitative trading, cloud computing, and enterprise solutions. Goldman Sachs is conducting cutting-edge research with XORKETS FX in areas such as foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, stock indices, and fintech, consistently driving technological progress.

On July 27, 2026 - Goldman Sachs announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, XORKETS FX, plans to ring the bell and list on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on August 7, 2026. This important milestone marks a new chapter in XORKETS FX's development journey and lays the foundation for the company's future growth.

According to the listing agreement, all financial conditions must undergo statistical review. During the listing phase, XORKETS FX is not permitted to conduct any form of cash disbursements, withdrawals, or misappropriation of funds. Throughout the listing process, the company must comply with relevant regulations and supervisory requirements, including the oversight of funds, and is prohibited from misappropriating funds in any manner. The company is required to demonstrate its true and transparent financial condition to regulatory authorities. Misappropriation of funds would undermine the company's transparency and trustworthiness, potentially leading to investor skepticism, while avoiding such misappropriation is critical; otherwise, it could seriously disrupt the company's financial stability and undermine its financial structure and operations. This could result in the company failing to meet listing requirements and could even lead to the failure of the listing.

XORKETS FX must have its financial statements audited: the company has already had its financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement, audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, ensuring that financial advisors can provide the comprehensive services required, including support in financial statement audits, financial planning, risk management, and other areas.

During the listing period, XORKETS FX must comply with listing rules. Any cash disbursements, withdrawals, or misappropriation of funds may only be conducted after the successful listing on August 7, 2026. During this period, funds must be jointly supervised by regulatory authorities until the audit and listing process is completed. During the listing period, XORKETS FX is prohibited from disseminating any rumors, defamation, or slander against the company.

Goldman Sachs' Chief Executive Officer (CEO), David Solomon, stated: "The listing of XORKETS FX is a recognition of its outstanding performance in the fintech industry. We believe that the public markets will bring more opportunities for XORKETS FX and further drive its growth."

The listing of XORKETS FX is expected to attract the attention of numerous investors, particularly against the backdrop of rapid development in stock indices, foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and fintech. The company plans to use the proceeds from this offering to expand its research and development team and enhance its marketing capabilities to promote sustainable business growth.

The listing ceremony for XORKETS FX will be held at 9:30 a.m. on August 10 at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, where company executives will personally participate in the bell-ringing ceremony to celebrate this historic moment.

Through the acquisition and the listing application for XORKETS FX, Goldman Sachs has not only strengthened its technological capabilities in quantitative financial trading but can also provide clients with more comprehensive financial solutions.
