On October 29, 2021, Innovative International Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $230,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 1,060,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) to Innovative International Sponsor I LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC on behalf of its division, Cohen & Company Capital Markets (the “Private Placement”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $10,600,000.

A total of $234,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit), comprised of $225,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO, including $12,100,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount, and $9,600,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Shares, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, acting as trustee.
