General Terms Applicable to All Non-Equity Perks

All non-equity perks described below are commemorative or experiential in nature and are offered solely as expressions of appreciation for participation in the offering. Perks do not constitute securities, contractual service guarantees, or additional ownership rights beyond the securities purchased.

Perks are non-transferable unless otherwise stated and are subject to availability, scheduling, and Company discretion. The Company reserves the right to modify the design, materials, format, or delivery method of any perk described herein. If a particular perk becomes impracticable, the Company may substitute an item or experience of comparable nature and value.

Any references to “lifetime” benefits refer to the lifetime of the applicable product offering, not the lifetime of the individual investor.

Perks by Investment Amount

All investors will receive early access to the Company’s beta product, subject to availability and applicable onboarding limitations. Beta access will be provided at the Company’s discretion and may be limited by capacity or product readiness.

*In order to receive perks from an investment, one must submit a single investment in the same offering that meets the minimum perk requirement. Bonus shares from perks will not be granted if an investor submits multiple investments that, when combined, meet the perk requirement. All perks occur when the offering is completed.

Crowdfunding investments made through a self-directed IRA cannot receive non-bonus share perks due to tax laws. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prohibits self-dealing transactions in which the investor receives an immediate, personal financial gain on investments owned by their retirement account. As a result, an investor must refuse those non-bonus share perks because they would be receiving a benefit from their IRA account.

The 10% StartEngine Venture Club Bonus

Testament Inc. will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Venture Club.

This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at $1.50 / share, you will receive 110 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, meaning you’ll own 110 shares for $150.00. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.

This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investor’s eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.

Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and the time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Venture Club bonus and the Loyalty Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.
