INTERAGENCY CHARTER AND FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE APPLICATION

  1. Overview (a) Provide a brief overview of the application. The overview should describe the institution’s business and any special market niche, including the products, market, services, and any nontraditional activities. Lorum Group Holdings Inc. (“Lorum Group”), as sponsor and acting through the named organizers, proposes to organize Lorum National Trust Bank (“LNTB”). LNTB will be a de novo national trust bank chartered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). LNTB will be headquartered in New York, New York and will operate as a specialized institution focused on providing financial infrastructure to global financial institutions as set forth in this application (the “Application”). LNTB’s core business model will be centered on providing direct, transparent, and compliant U.S. Dollar (“USD”) access through named account custody. This model establishes a direct informational link to ultimate account holders, intended to reduce nesting risk and enhance compliance transparency within the correspondent banking ecosystem. Once chartered, LNTB will conduct activities that complement and enhance existing business lines managed by Lorum Group, including:
  2. Institutional Clearing: Facilitating settlement for USD and tokenized assets, including stablecoins and tokenized money market funds.
  3. Custody Services: Offering both non-fiduciary (named and client money designated accounts) and fiduciary (escrow) custody.
  4. Treasury & Liquidity Management: Providing non-fiduciary services such as foreign exchange (FX) and fixed income management, including tokenized assets. LNTB will focus on serving institutional clients, providing a compliant gateway to modern financial instruments. LNTB will not engage in lending activities, ensuring a focus on the safety of client funds and the integrity of the payments infrastructure. Lorum Group currently provides similar USD access through a partner-based model and will be transitioning business over to LNTB as described in the Confidential Business Plan provided at Confidential Exhibit C. (b) Describe any issues about the permissibility of the proposal with regard to applicable state or federal laws or regulations. Identify any regulatory waiver requests and provide adequate justification. This Application is made pursuant to 12 U.S.C. §§ 21, 24(Seventh) and 12 C.F.R. § 5.20. LNTB will limit its activities to the operations of a trust company and activities related thereto or to any other activities within the business of banking that are permissible for a national bank under 12 U.S.C. § 24(Seventh) and pursuant to trust powers authorized under 12 U.S.C. § 92a. LNTB’s proposed activities are described in Sections I.A. and II.B. of the Confidential Business Plan

provided at Confidential Exhibit C. The organizers have not identified any issues surrounding the permissibility of the proposal with regard to applicable state or federal laws or regulations. The basis for the permissibility of LNTB’s proposed activities is included in Section I.A. of the Confidential Business Plan provided at Confidential Exhibit C. Except as expressly set forth in this application, no regulatory waivers are requested in connection with this application. Since Lorum Group will be the source of financial strength to LNTB, pursuant to 12 CFR 5.20(i)(3)(ii), LNTB is requesting a waiver from the requirement for officers and directors to complete the financial portion of the Interagency Biographical and Financial Reports (each, an “IBFR”). Lorum Group has submitted a Corporate Background and Financial Report at Confidential Exhibit D. 12 U.S.C. § 72 requires that, absent a waiver from the Comptroller, every director must be a citizen of the U.S. and a majority of the directors must reside (1) within the state in which LNTB is located, or (2) within one hundred miles of the location of the office of LNTB for at least one year immediately preceding their election. LNTB will seek a waiver from certain requirements of 12 U.S.C. § 72, so that certain directors will not be required to satisfy the citizenship requirements, and so that the directors will not be required to satisfy the residency requirement. LNTB’s request for director citizenship waivers is attached as Confidential Exhibit E and its request for director residency waivers is attached as Confidential Exhibit F. (c) List and provide a copy of all applications filed in conjunction with this proposal, such as applications for holding company, trust powers, branch offices, service corporations, and other subsidiaries. As provided in 12 C.F.R. § 5.20(h)(7), the Confidential Business Plan provided as Confidential Exhibit C establishes the request for LNTB to have full fiduciary powers. (d) When available, provide a copy of all public or private offering materials and the proposed form of stock certificate, including any required restrictive legends. No public or private offerings are contemplated at this time. (e) Provide a copy of the proposed articles of association, articles of incorporation, or charter, and proposed bylaws. Draft copies of the proposed articles of association and the bylaws are provided as Confidential Exhibits G and H, respectively. (f) Provide a copy of the business plan. The business plan should address, at a minimum, the topics contained in the appropriate regulatory agency’s Business Plan Guidelines. A copy of the Confidential Business Plan is provided at Confidential Exhibit C.
