IEG Holdings Cryptocurrency, Updated IE Crypto Plans & Philippines Cryptocurrency Remittance Plans

1. IE Crypto now plans to create its own IEG Holdings cryptocurrency, and offer loans and accept loan repayments in its own IEG Holdings cryptocurrency. After further investigation, management no longer believes that it requires the backing of a gold resource for its IEG Holdings cryptocurrency in order to be able to provide its planned services utilizing the IEG Holdings cryptocurrency. Therefore, IE Crypto has terminated its previous negotiations to purchase a gold project with gold metal in the ground and prospecting licenses.
2. After further investigation, IE Crypto no longer plans to use other non-IEG Holdings cryptocurrencies for loans or loan repayments. If IEG Holdings proceeds with the use of a cryptocurrency for loans or loan repayments, it currently only intends to do so using its own IEG Holdings cryptocurrency.
3. IE Crypto plans to develop and launch a new Philippines remittance and loan offering to US and Australian based Filipino OFWs targeting the USD $28 billion annual remittance market.

IE Crypto is in the incipient stages of planning these potential future actions.

Paul Mathieson, IEG Holdings' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very excited to have moved to the development stage for our IEG Holdings cryptocurrency. We believe potentially combining the exciting new blockchain technology with a leading sophisticated online consumer finance system, individual US state lending licenses and exposure to the Philippines $28 billion OFW remittance sector is a very exciting proposition. We aim for IEGH to leverage off its existing fintech business credentials, specifically its extensive experience in online consumer loans, to potentially be a key player in the crypto/blockchain sector."
