Use
of Proceeds from the Initial Public Offering
As
previously reported, on November 18, 2021, the registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective.
On November 23, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 19,999,880 Units (the “Units” and, with respect
to the Class A ordinary share included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $199,998,800, and incurring offering costs of $9,351,106 of which $5,999,964 was for deferred underwriting commissions (see
Note 6). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-half of one redeemable warrant, where each whole warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share. The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an
additional 2,608,680 Units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments, if any. Simultaneous with the close of the
Initial Public Offering, the over-allotment option was exercised in full.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 7,796,842 warrants (the “Private
Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $7,796,842
(the “Private Placement”) (see Note 4).
Transaction
costs amounted to $9,351,106, consisting of $2,499,985 of underwriting fees, $5,999,964 was for deferred underwriting commissions, $268,617
for the fair value of the representative shares and $582,540 of other offering costs.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment partially by the underwriter on November 23, 2021,
an amount of $202,998,782 ($10.15 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale
of the Private Placement Warrants of $7,796,842 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United
States and held as cash items or invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any
open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraph
(d) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business
Combination and (ii) the distribution of the assets held in the Trust Account, as described below.
We
did not issue any equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2024, that were not registered under the Securities Act and that
have not otherwise been described in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a Periodic Report on Form 8-K. As consideration for the Business
Combination, Currenc issued 400,000 commitment shares to the private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) investor and an
aggregate of 200,000 shares to vendors in connection with the Closing, issued promissory notes for approximately $5.7 million to EF Hutton
LLC (“EF Hutton”), approximately $3.2 million to Greenberg Traurig LLP (“Greenberg Traurig”), and $603,623 to
INFINT Capital LLC (the “Sponsor”), and warrants to purchase 136,110 ordinary shares in a private placement to a PIPE investor
(the “PIPE Offering”), which raised $1.75 million in net proceeds. On September 27, 2024, the Company filed a registration
statement with the SEC to register the issuances discussed herein.
