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

On June 22, 2023, an aggregate of $660,330 (the “Extension Payment”) was deposited by Vahanna LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), into the trust account of Vahanna Tech Edge Acquisition I Corp. (“Vahanna” or “Company”) for Vahanna’s public shareholders, representing $0.033 per public share, which enables Vahanna to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month to July 26, 2023 (the “Extension”). The Extension is the second of up to three one-month extensions permitted under Vahanna’s governing documents and provides Vahanna with additional time to complete its proposed business combination with Roadzen, Inc. (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the business combination agreement, dated February 10, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among (i) Vahanna, (ii) Roadzen, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Roadzen”), and (iii) Vahanna Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Vahanna.

The Sponsor loaned the Extension Payment to Vahanna in order to support the Extension and caused the Extension Payment to be deposited in Vahanna’s trust account for its public shareholders. This Extension Payment was evidenced by the unsecured promissory note previously issued by Vahanna to the Sponsor on May 24, 2023 (the “Note”). The principal amount of the Note was updated to $1,452,726 to reflect the Extension Payment. The Note bears interest at a rate of twenty percent (20.0%) per annum with an original issue discount of ten percent (10.0%) and will be due and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Business Combination is consummated and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company.

The following events constitute events of default under the Note:

1. Failure to make the required payments under the Note when due;

2. The voluntary liquidation of Vahanna; and

3. The involuntary bankruptcy of Vahanna.

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

The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Note, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 23, 2023, Vahanna issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing that the Extension Payment had been made and that the Sponsor loaned the Company the Extension Payment under the Note in connection with the Extension.

NEW YORK, June 23, 2023 — Vahanna Tech Edge Acquisition I Corp.

The business combination is expected to be consummated in the third quarter of 2023, subject to, among other things, the approval of the transaction by Vahanna’s shareholders, satisfaction of the conditions stated in the definitive business combination agreement and other customary closing conditions, including that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission completes its review of the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the transaction, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and the approval by The Nasdaq Stock Market to list the securities of the combined company.

plans and operations of Roadzen as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (viii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of New Roadzen to grow and manage growth profitably, the ability of New Roadzen to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, labor unions and other organizations that have a role in the business of Roadzen and the ability of New Roadzen to retain its management and key employees; (ix) costs related to the Business Combination; (x) changes in applicable laws or regulations, including those affecting the industries in which New Roadzen will operate; (xi) the possibility that Roadzen or New Roadzen may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; (xii) Roadzen’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (xiii) the evolution of the markets in which Roadzen competes; (xiv) the ability of Roadzen to implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing offerings; (xv) the ability of Roadzen to satisfy regulatory requirements; (xvi) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Roadzen’s and New Roadzen’s business; and (xvii) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Vahanna’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on April 14, 2023, and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the definitive proxy statement to be delivered to Vahanna’s shareholders and related registration statement on Form S-4, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents to be filed with the SEC by Vahanna. Nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither Vahanna nor Roadzen undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.

No Offer or Solicitation

This press release is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of Vahanna or Roadzen, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.
