Cynthia,
Please see Caroline, Jeffrey's and my Passport. I will need signing authority on this account, as will the Art Fund's manager, Mr. Etienne
Binant. I have asked Mr. Binant to forward a copy of his passport to me and
will send it to you as soon as I receive it. As I advised in my previous
email, Ms. Lang is a lawyer and a media executive and earns an income from
this work. I have not inquired further into her family's wealth, as the
initial funds for the partnership are to come from Southern Trust Company,
Inc., which you know well. The Pierre Trust's interest in the art fund
represents the value Ms. Lang adds to the art fund in selecting the new
artists and the particular pieces in which the art fund will invest. STC
provides the funds and Ms. Lang provides the knowledge and eye for artistic
promise and value. Please let me know if you require anything further.

Hi Darren,
As discussed, below are the KYC items needed for onboarding the new art fund:
Name
Prytanee, LLC
Address
6100 Red Hook Quarter, B3, St. Thomas, USVI 00802
Tax ID Number
Date of Incorporation
July 22, 2016 (it is not a corporation; it is an LLC and this is its date of
the filing of its Articles of Organization in the USVI)
Certificate of Good Standing dated within 1 year (or certificate
PROT9
of formation if new entity)
Certificate of Existence, dated August 5, 2016, is attached.
Operating agreement showing ownership percentages
Also attached is the Operating Agreement showing 50% ownership by Southern
Trust Company, Inc., a USVI Corp., and 50% Ownership by The Pierre Trust, a
newly formed Grantor trust formed in the USVI by a French national who is
the grantor, trustee and, during her lifetime, the beneficiary. She does
not have a US tax ID number at this time.
Resolution showing proof of signing authority on the account. You will note that the Operating Agreement, signed both by Southern Trust
Company and The Pierre Trust shows that Etienne Binant is the initial manager of the Company with the responsibility to manage the company. The
operating agreement specifies his management authority. I have no resolutions because he is the sole manager and there has been no other
appointment of a manager. What other forms might you need for Etienne and
what might you need to evidence that JE has signing authority as well.
Please provide the necessary form.
For the 50% trust owner of the fund, we will need the following:
Name
The Pierre Trust, a revocable Grantor Trust
Address c/o Ms. Caroline Lang, Trustee, 3 rue du Vieux Colombier, 75006 Paris, France
Tax ID Number
None
Date of Incorporation
Formed pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated November 21, 2016
Trust documentation
PROT10
Trust Agreement dated November 21, 2016, which is attached.
Source of wealth for the grantor
Sole Asset of the Trust is the 50% interest in the above partnership - but
the Trustee is an attorney and a media executive
Names and addresses for beneficiaries of the trust
Currently the sole beneficiary is the Grantor and Trustee, Ms. Caroline
Lang. Upon her death, Ms. Lang's children become the beneficiaries.
Please note, after initial review of the documentation received we may come
back with more items. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank
you!
