Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On September 7, 2022, Innovative International Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”), in the amount of up to $500,000 to Ananda Small Business Trust (“ASBT”), an affiliate of Innovative International Sponsor I LLC, the sponsor of the Company. The proceeds of the Note, may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below) upon request by the Company.

 

The Note bears no interest and the principal balance is payable on the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Maturity Date”). On or before the Maturity Date, ASBT has the option to convert all or any portion of the principal outstanding under the Note into Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Working Capital Shares”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per share. The terms of the Working Capital Shares, if any, would be identical to the terms of the private placement shares issued by the Company at the time of its initial public offering (the “IPO”), as described in the prospectus for the IPO dated October 26, 2021 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the transfer restrictions applicable thereto. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

The issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
