 Schedule of principal subsidiaries

InFinT Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 8, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses in financial technology sections, generally headquartered in North America, Asia, Latin America, Europe and Israel. 

At December 31, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and the search for a target business with which to consummate an initial business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

The Company’s sponsor is InFinT Capital LLC, a United States based sponsor group (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 18, 2021. 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.

INFINT ACQUISITION CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has listed the Units on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and sale of the placement units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NYSE rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned and less any interest earned thereon that is released for taxes) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $10.15 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, will be held in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of 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 meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed business combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.15 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants or rights. These ordinary shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

INFINT ACQUISITION CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

In accordance with the provisions of the Charter and the business combination agreement among the Company, FINTECH Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub”), and Seamless Group Inc., (“Seamless”), as amended (the “Business Combination Agreement”), Seamless deposited additional funds in the amount of $2,999,982 to the Company’s Trust Account on November 22, 2022 to automatically extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from November 23, 2022 to February 23, 2023.

Initial Business Combination

On August 3, 2022, INFINT Acquisition Corporation, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“INFINT”), entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub and Seamless (as amended on October 20, 2022, November 29, 2022 and February 20, 2023 and may be further amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”). The Business Combination Agreement was unanimously approved by INFINT’s board of directors. If the Business Combination Agreement is approved by INFINT’s shareholders (and the other closing conditions are satisfied or waived in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement), and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are consummated, Merger Sub will merge with and into Seamless (the “Merger”), with Seamless surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of INFINT (Seamless, as the surviving entity of the Merger, is referred to herein as “New Seamless” and such transactions are referred to collectively as the “Proposed Transactions”).

Under the Business Combination Agreement, holders of Seamless’ shares (“Seamless Shareholders”) are expected to receive $400,000,000 (“Seamless Value”) in aggregate consideration in the form of INFINT ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“New INFINT Ordinary Shares”), equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Seamless Value by (ii) $10.00.

In accordance with the provisions of the Charter and the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, Seamless deposited additional funds in the amount of $2,999,982 to the Company’s Trust Account on November 22, 2022 to automatically extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from November 23, 2022 to February 23, 2023.

On February 13, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution (the “First Extension”) to amend the Charter to extend the date that the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 23, 2023 to August 23, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors. Under Cayman Islands law, the amendment to the Charter took effect upon approval of the First Extension.

On August 18, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution (the “Second Extension”) to amend the Charter to extend the date that the Company has to consummate a business combination from August 23, 2023 to February 23, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (such date, the “Second Extended Date”). Under Cayman Islands law, the amendment to the Charter took effect upon approval of the Second Extension. In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, additional funds in the amount of $290,000 were deposited by Seamless to the Trust Account on February 21, 2023, and the required contributions continued to be deposited on or before the 23^rd day of each subsequent calendar month into the Trust Account until the Second Extended Date. In 2023, a total of $1,740,000 was deposited into the Trust Account as such required contributions. In connection with the votes to approve the Second Extension, the holders of 2,176,003 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.94 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $23.8 million, leaving approximately $81.1 million in the Trust Account.

In accordance with the approval of the Second Extension, additional funds in the amount of $160,000 were deposited into the Trust Account on August 23, 2023, and the lesser of (x) $160,000 and (y) $0.04 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding on such applicable date (each date on which a Contribution is to be deposited into the trust account, a “Contribution Date”) was deposited into the Company’s Trust Account (a “Contribution”) on the 23rd day of each subsequent calendar month until the Extended Date. As of December 31, 2023, a total of $800,000 was deposited into the Trust Account as such required Contributions.

On February 16, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Charter to extend the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Third Extension”) from February 23, 2024 to November 23, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Board (the “Third Extended Date”). Accordingly, the Company has until the Third Extended Date to consummate its initial business combination. In connection with the votes to approve the Third Extension, the holders of 2,661,404 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.36 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $30.26 million, leaving approximately $53.97 million in the Company’s Trust Account. Accordingly, the Company now has until the Third Extended Date to consummate its initial business combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest income to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, additional funds in the amount of $80,000 were deposited by Seamless to the Trust Account on February 20, 2024, and the required contributions will continue to be deposited on or before the 23rd day of each subsequent calendar month into the Trust Account until the Third Extended Date or the date an initial business combination is completed.

The Sponsor has agreed (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the Extended Date or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination by the Extended Date although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial business combination.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.15 per share (whether or not the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.15).

INFINT ACQUISITION CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $43,509 of cash in its operating account and working capital deficit of approximately $4,516,047.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied through the capital contribution of $25,100 from the Sponsor to purchase the Founder Shares, and a loan of $400,000 pursuant to the Note issued to the Sponsor, which was repaid on December 7, 2021 (Note 5). Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied with the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and from the issuance of common stock. The Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. However, the $43,509 in cash might not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements.

On August 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Seamless, as discussed above. The Company intends to complete the proposed business combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination by required liquidation date. On February 16, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved the Third Extension to extend the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 23, 2024 to the Third Extended Date. Accordingly, the Company has until the Third Extended Date to consummate its initial business combination. In connection with the votes to approve the Third Extension, the holders of 2,661,404 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.36 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $30.26 million, leaving approximately $53.97 million in the Company’s Trust Account. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.
