Utemis have been approached by a large Chinese e-commerce group requested a pause in its launch from the 15th of December to the 8th of January. The reasoning behind this is requesting time to analyze and offer a purchase of the business.
I can only see this as an opportunity as I suspect the team will play ping-pong with offers for the next few weeks. But without fail the ICO will launch on the 8th of January. Written within the Whitepaper is that any purchase of the company made the token holders will receive a payout as part of the sale by holding tokens purchased during the ICO.
