A lean board — designed for control, speed, and scale

Arcadia operates with a focused Board structure in its early stage to ensure speed of execution, alignment, and accountability.

Governance is structured to scale with the business — not to catch up with it.

The Board is intentionally lean during the build phase and will expand as the company transitions into a regulated financial institution.

Board of Directors

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Board currently consists of the Founder, acting as Chairman.

This structure ensures:

• full strategic alignment during the build phase

• fast decision-making without governance friction

• direct accountability across all execution layers

This structure ensures strong execution control while maintaining decision speed.

Current Board Structure

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Board will expand in alignment with the company’s regulatory and operational milestones.

Planned structure includes:

• independent directors

• financial and regulatory expertise

• governance aligned with European EMI regulatory expectations

Board expansion is tied to:

• licensing milestones

• scale of operations

• investor participation

Planned Board Evolution

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Board operates within a broader governance framework including:

• executive committee

• independent control functions (risk, compliance, AML)

• formal delegation and decision structures

• key decisions are formally documented and traceable across governance layers

• clear ownership and accountability are defined across all decision levels

Governance does not rely solely on the Board — control is distributed across dedicated functions.
