This is Bolt Technology's Estonian mobility business, not Bolt Financial, Bolt Threads or Bolt Biotherapeutics. Source-linked historical capital preserves conflicting amounts, period/series labels and participant roles. The 2019 adviser amount differs from reported July amounts; scope/tranche reconciliation remains open. Historical investor/adviser names are not a current register or complete legal subscribing-vehicle list. The May 2020 note is not assumed converted equity, and its conversion cap is not a firm equity valuation. EIB records signed venture-debt capacity, not cash drawn or issuer shares. IFC separately records approval, signing and investment dates; its board minutes specify a convertible note while its public summary uses an indicative equity classification, not proof of conversion or exact paid cash. The 2024 issuer credit announcement has no inspected draw record or authenticated bank roster. The pooled 2013–2016 seed/angel entry is replaced by separately sourced 2014 observations; early financing coverage remains incomplete. April currency, September TMT instrument classification and its relationship to the December total remain unresolved. No 2016 database amount or cumulative issuer capital is manufactured into another round. TMT later reported additional 2017 equity capital after the DiDi round, but its separate amount, date and roster still need reconciliation. Independent review, current P100 approval, subsequent ownership and source rights remain open. These observations are not verified lifetime funding, a current cap table or saleable inventory. Headline association; not a reviewed issuer link. Unlinked article observations are not independently reconciled financing events. This is covered public-source history, not an exhaustive issuer ledger.

Revolving credit facility (issuer announcement)

Investors undisclosed

The issuer blog headline/date and its company-authored public LinkedIn post announce a €220M revolving facility: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bolt-eu_bolt-secures-220m-revolving-credit-facility-activity-7192091460937084928-9eI4 . The linked blog body was absent from the web reader; this is not a complete article-body inspection. A contemporaneous reporter page returned 403, so the imported eight-bank roster remains unverified and is not published as equity leads or a complete syndicate. May 3 is the announcement, not an authenticated signing, closing or draw date. Committed capacity, repaid balances, cash disbursement and actual legal lenders remain unknown; no imported USD conversion or current shareholder claim is retained.

Series F

Sequoia Capital (lead) · Fidelity Management and Research Company LLC (lead) · Whale Rock · Owl Rock (Blue Owl division) · D1 · G Squared · Tekne · Ghisallo

Sorainen's January 11 issuer-adviser account names Sequoia and Fidelity as co-leads, with the listed groups among other participants; not a complete subscribing-vehicle roster. Investor-authored TMT RNS 9955X confirms €628M equity and €7.4B historical valuation: https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/tmt-investments--tmt/portfolio-update/6807769 . Sorainen reports US$709M versus TMT approximately US$711M; original EUR is retained without silently choosing an exact USD amount. January 11 is the announcement, not an authenticated closing date. The issuer blog headline/date corroborates it, but its body was absent from the web reader: https://bolt.eu/en/blog/bolt-secures-e628m-funding-in-the-largest-investment-round-to-date/ . The Series F label is inherited taxonomy, not proof of a registered security class. TMT's fair-value uplift is not new issuer capital or proof it subscribed in this round. The old January 10 article remains coverage, excluded from financing inference. Current holdings, class rights, legal vehicles and source-rights approval remain unknown.

TMT's investor-authored RNS 3056H identifies August 2 announcement and Sequoia leadership: https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/tmt-investments--tmt/significant-revaluation/6818852 . August 4 adviser publication is not a second round. US$713M is the disclosed approximate-equivalent basis, not exact USD subscription proceeds or a newly selected FX rate. The imported US$714M and Tekne co-lead attribution are not retained. TMT's fair-value uplift is not new issuer capital or a disclosed new TMT subscription.

IFC convertible-note investment

IFC's current project record lists approved December 18, 2020, signed January 29, 2021 and invested March 26, 2021; March 26 is the recorded investment date, not the March 4 disclosure or March 5 press release: https://www.ifc.org/en/pressroom/2021/ifc-invests-in-bolt-to-expand-mobility-solutions-boosting-earning-opportunities-and-facilitating-more-inclusive-transport-in-emerging-markets . Its indicative $23.98M equity classification does not authenticate exact proceeds or ordinary shares. The January 7 board minutes, PDF page 4, item 6, approve up to €20M through a three-year convertible note at IFC's conversion option: https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/529531611889342679/pdf/Minutes-of-a-Virtual-Meeting-of-the-Executive-Directors-of-the-Bank-and-IDA-and-the-Boards-of-Directors-of-IFC-and-MIGA-on-January-7-2021-and-Record-of-Approvals-December-18-2020-thru-January-7-2021.pdf .

Convertible Note (May 2020)

Naya Capital Management

Reuters' May 26 issuer/CEO account attributes €100M from Naya and describes a €1.7B deal valuation. Investor TMT's contemporaneous RNS 1372O identifies €1.7B as a conversion cap and explicitly says it does not imply a new firm equity valuation: https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/tmt-investments--tmt/portfolio-update/6135355 . That distinction is retained rather than promoting a note cap as priced equity. TMT annual results classify the May financing as a convertible note: https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/tmt-investments--tmt/final-results-and-notice-of-agm/6318426 . US$109M versus US$110M are differing reported equivalents, not two financings or an authenticated exact USD amount. May 26 is the report/announcement date, not proven legal closing. Naya is an attributed financing participant, not an assumed equity lead; note security terms, conversion and current shares remain unverified. The abandoned government guarantee request is not another financed round. May and December amounts are separate events; the €250M annual aggregate is not a third round. Source rights, complete legal vehicles and independent review remain open.

EIB signed venture-debt facility

European Investment Bank

EIB project 20190536 identifies Bolt Technology and two €25M signatures dated December 20, 2019, with €50M total; not two additional financing rounds or €100M of funding. January 17, 2020 is the summary release date, not the signature. The EIB's release 2020-008 calls it a signed venture-debt facility despite its quasi-equity headline: https://www.eib.org/en/press/all/2020-008-investeu-eur-50m-quasi-equity-facility-for-estonian-ride-hailing-platform-bolt . The issuer's migrated blog displays November 15, 2023: https://bolt.eu/en/blog/bolt-enters-e50-million-funding-partnership-with-eu-investment-bank/ ; this is not a new November 2023 facility without separate evidence.

Series C (2019; source scope unresolved)

Korelya Capital (lead) · Nordic Ninja (lead)

Sorainen describes advising more than €75M in Series C and identifies Korelya/Nordic Ninja as leads. TMT RNS 7304D records a completed round by its June 28 announcement: https://www.investegate.co.uk/index.php/announcement/rns/tmt-investments--tmt/portfolio-update/34890 . The date is that investor announcement, not authenticated exact closing. July 26 adviser publication and July reporting are not automatically extra financings. EIA's July recap attributes €60M and different leadership to TechCrunch: https://investinestonia.com/bolt-raises-e60-million-in-funding/ ; Global Venturing's retrospective uses reported US$67M: https://globalventuring.com/blog/2020/05/27/bolt-flashes-on-fresh-funding/ . Those amounts do not reconcile to the adviser statement; scope/tranche reconciliation remains open, with one conflicted observation and no chosen exact USD cash or assumed Series C extension. Only the adviser's two named leads are retained; its general list of existing company investors is not a round-specific roster. Imported Naya sole-lead attribution remains unverified. TMT's valuation uplift is not new issuer capital. Exact subscribing vehicles, security rights, historical valuation, subsequent ownership and source-rights/independent approval remain unknown.

Sorainen's May 30 Estonian-language adviser account states a US$175M round led by Daimler, historical US$1B valuation and the listed participants, including United Angels. TMT's investor-authored half-year report also describes the completed round announced May 30: https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/TMT/half-year-report-tv3wnidyjtdreel.html . US$175M is the total round, not Daimler’s individual cheque; specific checks are unknown. Series B/C labels differ across databases/reporting, so this row uses neutral equity-round taxonomy instead of choosing a registered class. May 30 is the disclosed announcement date, not independently authenticated legal closing. The names are historical participants, not current holders or authenticated legal subscribing vehicles; Daimler board representation does not quantify ownership. TMT fair-value revaluation is not extra issuer proceeds. Legal share terms, complete roster, source-rights and independent approval remain open.

Strategic equity investment (August 2017)

Didi Chuxing

Taxify and DiDi's joint August 1 release announces a strategic investment partnership without a cheque amount, class, full roster or investor lead role. TMT separately says the equity round completed in RNS 6592M on the same date: https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/tmt-investments--tmt/revaluation-of-investment-in-taxify/4788384 . One historical equity observation remains confirmed at announcement-date precision, not independently authenticated legal closing. TMT's revaluation is not exact cash paid by DiDi or additional issuer funding; an inferred eight-figure cheque is not disclosed here. The issuer's earlier €2M cumulative venture funding is not this round’s amount or a separately dated round. TMT's 2017 results subsequently mention additional equity capital: https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/TMT/final-results-q6x1xzijdam9rkr.html . This is a coverage gap, not proof of the same tranche, an exact extra amount, date or roster. The inherited Series A label is not verified security-class evidence. Current holdings, subsequent transfers, subscribing vehicles and source-rights/independent approval remain unknown.

Early financing (December 2014)

Adcash · Rubylight · TMT Investments · Rain Rannu · Indrek Kasela

COBALT's transaction account identifies €1.4M total financing and the listed historical participants, while advising Rubylight. This is not an individual Rubylight or TMT cheque; no lead, exact USD conversion, security class, full legal subscribing-vehicle roster or current ownership is established. December 18 is its announcement date, not an authenticated legal closing. The relationship to the earlier TMT investment remains unresolved, including whether note conversion formed part of this total, so the observations are not summed as exact cash proceeds.

Instrument history and linkage to December financing are unresolved. The investor's accounting additions, internal transfers, fees and carrying value are not additional issuer financing, total-round proceeds or an executed conversion date.
