Safa Global Capital
Chapter 09 / 11Regulatory framework

Being structured with counsel.

Each entity sits in the right home for its function: Safa Global Capital in Malta as the planned issuer of STAC, the Safa Global Foundation in Qatar (QFC) for independent oversight, and Safa Global Ventures in Mexico (S.A.P.I. de C.V.) as general partner of the operating companies. All three are in formation, and none holds a financial-services authorisation today.

Architecture

Three entities. Three jurisdictions.

01 · INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT

Safa Global Foundation

Qatar (QFC) · Private foundation, in formation

Being established in the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) as the independent oversight body of the group. It will appoint and receive the independent auditors and the adviser on ethical and Islamic financial regulation, and it never audits itself.

02 · PLANNED ISSUER

Safa Global Capital

Malta · In formation · MFSA application planned

Being established in Malta as the planned issuer of STAC and home of the Safa Global Sukuk Programme. It will apply to the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) for the authorisations its activities need and holds none today. How STAC is classified (MiFID II, MiCA) is the subject of a counsel opinion that is still pending. If authorised, STAC is intended to reach retail investors under an EU prospectus (Regulation (EU) 2017/1129). Malta’s Sukuk provisions are not yet in force. SGC is not an AIFM.

03 · OPERATING HOLDING

Safa Global Ventures

Mexico · Mexican company, in formation

Being established in Mexico to hold the group’s 13 operating companies across 8 verticals and its commercial real estate.

Operating principles

How we approach distribution.

Nothing offered until authorised

Nothing is offered today. Any future offering will be made only once the issuer is established and authorised, to eligible investors in jurisdictions where it is lawful, and to retail investors only under an approved prospectus.

Substance over form

STAC is not designed as a stablecoin or a utility token. Its exact legal classification will follow counsel’s opinion, not a label we choose. Sukuk-style asset-backing is the load-bearing structural property.

Jurisdiction-respecting distribution

Each lender / subscriber participates under their own home-jurisdiction private-placement exemption. Reverse-solicitation acknowledgements where applicable. No general solicitation to the public.

Layered AML

KYC, source of funds, source of wealth, sanctions screening, and politically-exposed-person checks at admission. Ongoing monitoring per FATF guidance.
