Here is a full message:
Dear affiliates and partners,
the KCB exchange is extended until 23.59 CET on 13 January 2020. The Hardfork (SWAP) is not affected by this and is running as planned.
This decision will help to ensure that all Affiliates have sufficient time to exchange existing KCBs either into KBCs or into the vouchers of the upcoming GSB IPO. The components of the GSB IPO are explained in detail at the end.
KCBs still in Karatbars accounts will be send to Karatbit, provided the Karatbars account is linked to Karatbit. If this is not the case, a timely transfer cannot be guaranteed.
To ensure the correct exchange for all, the following steps must be taken:
Your Karatbars account must be linked to your Karatbit account
In the Karatbit Dashboard, select the number of KCB you wish to exchange for KBC. The exchange ratio is 1 : 2.54. For one KCB you will receive 2.54 KBC.
KCBs that are not exchanged are automatically assigned to the future GSB IPO. This means that these KCBs will be exchanged into vouchers of the GSB IPO. Here the KCB keeps its nominal value of 0.14 Euro.
Unfortunately not all Karatbars accounts are linked to Karatbit. This is partly because some affiliates have forgotten their 2FA recovery key. But also because the confirmation email for Karatbit for example was not read and clicked. Or it has been SPAMmed and has been ignored.
ATTENTION: Please note that you can have two accounts with Karatbars – one private and one business. You cannot link one Karatbit account to both Karatbars accounts. You must have and link a separate Karatbit account for each Karatbars account.

Thanks. I mean must we convert our voucher in IPO to KBC now or we can still leave the voucher for future use.
Hi Shehu,
You can leave the vouchers as they are. They will go towards the Gold Standard Bank IPO when the time comes (as originally meant to).
Personally, I just kept the vouchers as they are. This way not all eggs are in one basket 😉 (KBC).
