SUBJECT TO COMPLETION—DATED JULY 25, 2025

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

DIGINEX LIMITED

 

13,500,000 Ordinary Shares

 

RESALE PROSPECTUS

 

This Resale Prospectus relates to the registration and resale of 2,250,000 Ordinary Shares and 11,250,000 Ordinary Shares underlying warrants of the Company held by the Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus.

 

Any shares sold by the Selling Shareholders covered by this prospectus will begin at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated prices. The distribution of securities offered hereby may be effected in one or more transactions that may take place in ordinary brokers’ transactions, privately negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more dealers for resale of such securities as principals. The Selling Shareholders will sell their shares at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the Selling Shareholders.

 

The Ordinary Shares registered for resale as part of this Resale Prospectus, once registered, will constitute a considerable percentage of our public float. The sales of a substantial number of registered shares could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale or issuance of additional Ordinary Shares. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares. Despite such a decline in the public trading price, certain Selling Shareholders may still experience a positive rate of return on the Ordinary Shares due to the lower price that they purchased the Ordinary Shares compared to other public investors and may be incentivized to sell their Ordinary Shares when others are not. See “Risk Factors — The future sales of Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders, including the sales pursuant to the Resale Prospectus, may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Share.”

 

Our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “DGNX.” On July 23, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq was $59.47 per share.

 

We are not considered a “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance rules as no more than 50% of our voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company following the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering of 2,250,000 Ordinary Shares, which occurred on January 23, 2025, as described in the Company post-effective amendment no. 1 to its registration statement on Form F-1, which was declared effective on January 16, 2025. We also do not expect that more than 50% of our voting power will be held by an individual, a group or another company following the issuance of the 13,500,000 shares associated with this offering.

 

On December 20, 2024, following the Company’s registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, Diginex Limited issued 2,347,134 Ordinary Shares in connection with the conversion of all of the outstanding Convertible Loan Notes. On December 20, 2024, following the Company’s registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, Diginex Limited issued 2,583,820 Ordinary Shares in connection with the conversion of 2,583,820 Preferred Shares. On January 21, 2025, the Company issued RVL 731,707 Ordinary Shares in connection with RVL’s conversion of $3.0 million of the Modified RVL Loan into Ordinary Shares at a price of $4.10 per share. On January 23, 2025, the Company issued Rhino Ventures Limited the warrants identified below (“IPO Warrants”) in recognition of the support Rhino Ventures Limited has provided to the Company.

The Company

 

Current Business Lines

 

Diginex Limited is incorporated as an exempt company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands. It is a holding company which conducts its business through a 100% owned subsidiary, Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited (“DSL”). DSL is incorporated in Hong Kong and owns two subsidiaries: Diginex Services Limited, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and Diginex USA LLC, a company incorporated in Delaware, USA.

 

Diginex is an impact technology business that helps organizations to address the some of the most pressing Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”), climate and sustainability issues, utilizing blockchain, machine learning and data analysis technology to lead change and increase transparency in corporate social responsibility and climate action. Our products and services solutions enable companies to collect, evaluate and share sustainability data through easy-to-use software. The Group’s principal executive office is in London where the CEO is based. The London office is in a co-working shared space facility with 5 seats and the London based employees operate under a hybrid model as they work from both home and office with the majority of working hours spent in the office. Diginex also has an office in Hong Kong which is in a co-working shared space facility with 17 seats and the Hong Kong based employees operate under a hybrid model as they work both from the office and from home with the majority of working hours spent working from the office. There is also an executive office in Monaco that is used by the Chairman and COO. DSL has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and United States, however the subsidiary in the United States is inactive. DSL also outsources a component of IT development and maintenance support to engineers in Vietnam.

 

Diginex has built several accessible, affordable and intelligent products to help democratize sustainability reporting and offers multiple supporting services to complement the product suite.

 

Diginex’s suite of products includes the following:

 

diginexESG: is an accredited Hong Kong Monetary Authority award winning cloud based ESG platform that offers end to end reporting from topic discovery, data collection to collaborative report publishing. Our diginexESG platform is ISO-27001 Certified (an international standard to manage information security), SOC 2 certified, official partner of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), World Economic Forum and signatory of the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UN PRI).

 

The diginexESG platform guides companies through the entire ESG journey; from materiality assessment & stakeholder engagement, framework & indicator selection, the data collection and collaboration process, report creation, validation and ultimately report publishing. By leveraging machine learning and data analytics, diginexESG is able to drive material efficiencies in the reporting process, and the blockchain-enabled audit trail, whereby a record of each data activity is created and stored on a blockchain, provides greater transparency in the data thus increasing its value. Originally targeted specially at Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) around the world who are new to ESG reporting and lack the budget or bandwidth to engage with traditional and often expensive consultants, diginexESG has increased its feature set to include functionality that also targets larger companies with more complex organizational structures. diginexESG has also been adopted by global commercial banks like HSBC to help engage with their diverse customer base at scale.

 

diginexLUMEN: allows companies to execute comprehensive supply chain risk assessments about working conditions within the supply chain. Supplier information is validated against worker feedback and automated risk calculations enables companies to prioritize issues for mitigation and prevention of adverse impacts and improvement efforts.

diginexLUMEN focuses on broad data collection through complex inter-jurisdictional supply chains with a specific focus on social governance issues such as forced labor due diligence, gender risk and child labor risk. Through the collection of data from suppliers and validation by workers, diginexLUMEN relies on proprietary algorithms to generate risk scores to help companies identify which parts of their supply chain require greater scrutiny. The platform then auto-generates corrective action plans which allow the brands and suppliers to work together to remedy potentially problematic areas and reduce the risk score.

 

diginexAPPRISE: is a multilingual application that collects standardized, actionable data related to working conditions directly from workers in global supply chains. Through tailored question sets, companies can deploy surveys directly to workers in their supply chain on a variety of topics such as responsible recruitment, gender equality and pulse check living and working conditions. The worker voice tool was initially developed by the United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU-IIST) in partnership with The Mekong Club – an organization working with the private sector to bring about sustainable practices against modern slavery, and was acquired by DSL on December 14, 2021.

 

diginexAPPRISE is available both as a standalone tool and also fully integrated into diginexLUMEN.

 

diginexCLIMATE: is a proprietary carbon footprint calculator based on the GHG protocols that is currently available as an integrated part of the diginexESG platform. This allows companies to seamlessly calculate their Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon footprint as part of their overall ESG reporting journey. Scope 1 are those direct emissions that are owned or controlled by a company, whereas scopes 2 and 3 indirect emissions are the result of the activities of the company but occur from sources not owned or controlled by it.

 

Diginex also offers the following complementary services:

 

diginexADVISORY: is a service offered by Diginex as a complement to the suite of Diginex software license sales. diginexADVISORY provides clients strategy and advisory support at every stage of the sustainability journey, including assurance solutions for credible reporting. We also offer custom framework creation for clients who need more complex reporting templates or who want to set a benchmark for others in their industry. As part of diginexADVISORY we also develop and run one-off or programmatic training sessions covering a range of topics from a general introduction to ESG to complex carbon accounting and emissions.

 

diginexPARTNERS: is a service whereby Diginex develops white label versions of both diginexESG and diginexLUMEN for companies who then want to run either diginexESG or diginexLUMEN as an extension of their own service offering. This service often requires custom technology work up front for our clients that generates initial revenue as well as ongoing service and maintenance licenses which generate ongoing recurring revenue.

 

In addition, Diginex develops custom software platforms as part of a project consortiums for organizations like the United States Department of State, United States Department of Labor, and the United Nations.

 

As of July 15, 2025, Diginex has a current headcount of 33, among which 24 are employees in Hong Kong and United Kingdom and 9 are contractors based in France, Germany, Spain, Canada, Dubai, Mexico, Singapore and Australia.

Foreign Private Issuer Status

 

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the Exchange Act). The Company is a foreign private issuer as less than 50% of the outstanding voting shares will be held by US residents. As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies. For example:

 

we are not required to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently, as a domestic public company;
for interim reporting, we are permitted to comply solely with our home country requirements, which are less rigorous than the rules that apply to domestic public companies;
we are not required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation;
we are exempt from provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information;
we are not required to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; and
we are not required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short-swing” trading transaction.

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A), a foreign private issuer may, in general, follow its home country corporate governance practices in lieu of some of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5600 Series (with certain exceptions not relevant here). Diginex Limited has elected to be exempt from the requirement: (i) in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price less than the lower of: (a) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (b) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; (ii) in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5620(c) requiring a Nasdaq-listing company to provide in its by-laws for a quorum of at least 33 1/3 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common voting stock; (iii) in Nasdaq marketplace Rule 5605(b)(2) requiring a Nasdaq-listing company to have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present; and (iv) in Nasdaq marketplace Rule 5635(c) requires a Nasdaq-listed company to obtain shareholder approval for the establishment of or material amendments to equity compensation plans.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (or JOBS Act), and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and financial disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies, that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, (1) presenting only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in this prospectus, (2) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), (3) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and (4) exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these exemptions, and investors might find investing in our Ordinary Shares less attractive.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (which we refer to as the Securities Act), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, and we intend to take advantage of this extended transaction period.

 

We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (2) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months, or (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

Our Corporate Structure

 

Diginex Limited is a Cayman Islands exempted company, incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on January 26, 2024. On July 15, 2024, Diginex Limited and Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited (“DSL”) completed a restructuring pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), whereby the then existing shareholders of DSL (the “Original Shareholders”) transferred all of their shares in DSL to Diginex Limited, in consideration for Diginex Limited’s issuance of substantially the same securities to such shareholders in exchange for the securities of DSL held by Original Shareholders (the “Exchange”). Prior to the Exchange there were 16,756 ordinary shares of DSL issued and outstanding, 3,151 preferred shares of DSL issued and outstanding and 10,172 warrants of DSL issued and outstanding. In the Exchange, each of the securities of DSL were exchanged for substantially the same securities of Diginex Limited at an exchange ratio of one (1) ordinary share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited, one (1) preferred share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Preferred Shares of Diginex Limited and one (1) warrant of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) warrants of Diginex Limited.

 

On May 28, 2023, DSL agreed to an $8,000,000 share subscription agreement with Rhino Ventures Limited and on September 28, 2023 executed a subscription agreement (the “RVL Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the RVL Subscription Agreement, DSL issued Rhino Ventures Limited 5,086 ordinary shares and 10,172 warrants in exchange for $8.0 million. The warrants will be exercisable for ordinary shares of DSL for a period of three years from the date they are issued and shall be exercisable at a per warrant price of US$2,512. Post the completion of the Restructuring and Share Subdivision (as defined below), the number of warrants of Diginex Limited issued to Rhino Ventures Limited was adjusted to 4,170,520 from 10,172 with an adjusted price per warrant of US$6.13. The warrants, if fully exercised, will result in the issuance of such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the warrants being exercised. This will be prorated for partial exercise of warrants. Rhino Ventures Limited paid the subscription price by the payment of $6.1 million in cash and the conversion of $1.9 million of debt due to Rhino Ventures Limited. The RVL Subscription Agreement also activated an anti-dilution clause in the Articles of Association of DSL which resulted in HBM IV, Inc. being issued 151 preferred shares of DSL for zero consideration. This increased HBM IV, Inc.’s holding to 3,151 preferred shares of DSL.

 

In connection with the Exchange, Diginex Limited and security holders of DSL consummated the following transactions (the “Ancillary Transactions”): (i) Diginex Limited issued $4.35 million new convertible loan notes to certain Original Shareholders in consideration for the cancellation of the then existing convertible loan notes issued by DSL and held by such Original Shareholders; (ii) Diginex Limited granted certain share options under the new share option plan that was adopted by Diginex Limited to the holders of the unexercised share options granted by DSL (the “Original Share Options”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Share Options held by such holders. At time of the Exchange there were 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting and (iii) Diginex Limited granted certain warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited to the holders of the then existing warrants to purchase ordinary shares of DSL (the “Original Warrants”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Warrants held by such holders. The convertible loan notes automatically converted into Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited on December 20, 2024 and whilst there is no automatic vesting of any unvested share options upon completion of the IPO the board of directors, at their discretion, do have the ability to accelerate vesting at any point. The board of directors approved and authorized the acceleration of the vesting of the unvested share options to January 23, 2026. The fair value of all unvested ESOP as of the date of this Prospectus is $2.2 million of which $1.0 million has been recognized in the financial statements as at March 31, 2025.

 

Accordingly, upon consummation of the Exchange and the Ancillary Transactions (collectively the “Restructuring”), DSL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Diginex Limited, and the prior shareholders of DSL became shareholders of Diginex Limited. The remaining DSL security holders became security holders of Diginex Limited, in that they held Diginex Limited convertible loan notes, share options and warrants. Following, the closing of the Restructuring there are 6,869,961 Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited issued and outstanding, 1,291,910 preferred shares of Diginex Limited issued and outstanding, 4,170,520 warrants issued and outstanding, $4.35 million new convertible loan notes issued and outstanding and 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting.

Following the Restructuring, on July 26, 2024, the Company completed a share subdivision (the “Share Subdivision”) such that, the authorized share capital of the Company was changed from US$50,000 divided into 480,000,000 Ordinary shares of par value US$0.0001 each, 20,000,000 Preferred shares of par value US$0.0001 each to be US$50,000 divided into 960,000,000 Ordinary Shares of US$0.00005 par value each and 40,000,000 preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”), par value US$0.00005 per share. Immediately prior to the Share Subdivision there were 6,869,961 ordinary shares and 1,291,910 preferred shares issued and outstanding, and immediately after the Share Subdivision there are 13,739,922 Ordinary Shares and 2,583,820 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.

 

During the Restructuring, a $1 million loan due from DSL to a related company, Diginex Holdings Limited, a company controlled by Rhino Ventures Limited, was converted into a $1 million convertible loan note of which Rhino Ventures Limited holds $517,535 of the principal amount of the convertible loan note and Working Capital Innovation Fund II L.P. holds $482,465 of the principal amount of the convertible loan note. The loan between DSL and Diginex Holdings Limited charged interest at 8% per annum and had a maturity date of December 31, 2024. The terms of the new convertible loan notes also charge interest at 8% per annum and had a maturity date of December 31, 2024. This $1 million convertible loan note forms part of the $4.35 million loan notes issued by Diginex Limited post the Restructuring.

 

On August 6, 2024 certain Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) holders exercised their options and converted their options into Ordinary Shares. 501,840 employee share options were converted into 1,003,680 Ordinary Shares whilst 315,700 employee share options lapsed without being exercised. In addition, 368,826 employee share options were issued on July 31, 2024 and on August 21, 2024 employee share options were issued equating to 0.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting. The remaining employee share options as at the time of this registration statement are 17,345 vested but not exercised, 368,826 unvested employee share options and unvested employee share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting. Prior to the exercise of 501,840 options on August 6, 2024 there were 13,739,922 Ordinary Shares and 2,583,820 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding, and after such exercise of 501,840 options there are 14,743,602 Ordinary Shares and 2,583,820 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.

Since 17th November 2023, Rhino Ventures Limited (“RVL”) issued convertible notes (the “Rhino Notes”) to various investors (each a “Rhino Investor” and collectively the “Rhino Investors”). In exchange for a loan from a Rhino Investor, RVL issued the Rhino Investor a Rhino Note. The Rhino Notes are convertible into DSL ordinary shares, or successor securities, that were owned by RVL at a conversion price of between USD2.78 to USD2.99. The Rhino Notes were convertible into RVL’s shares of DSL ordinary shares, or successor securities, (1) at the option of the Rhino Investor or (2) automatically upon F-1 either being effective or having received 2 or below comments. On August 7, 2024, six of the Rhino Investors elected to convert their Rhino Notes and RVL transferred an aggregate amount of 2,992,180 Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited, the successor securities to the DSL ordinary shares, to the six Rhino Investors as follows: (i) Samantha Dolan received 327,180 Ordinary Shares, (ii) Christopher Lord received 418,200 Ordinary Shares, (iii) Dorota Menard received 400,980 Ordinary Shares, (iv) Gildo Plate received 294,380 Ordinary Shares and (v) Natalia Pelham received 1,049,600 Ordinary Shares and (vi) Benjamin Salter received 501,840 Ordinary Shares. On November 25, 2024, nine additional Rhino Investors elected to convert their Rhino Notes and RVL transferred an aggregate amount of 2,710,707 Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited, the successor securities to DSL ordinary shares, to the nine Rhino Investors as follows: (i) New Advent Sdn.Bhd received 100,860 Ordinary Shares, (ii) Ayle Ventures Limited received 167,280 Ordinary Shares, (iii) Duvin Limited received 935,407 Ordinary Shares, (iv) Carl Stephen George received 455,100 Ordinary Shares, (v) Ching Kuen Franklin Heng received 83,640 Ordinary Shares, (vi) Harley Street Medical Doctors Limited received 421,480 Ordinary shares, (vii) Chung-Mei Hsu received 67,240 Ordinary Shares, (viii) LVS Capital Partners Limited received 202,540 Ordinary Shares and (ix) David Nicholson received 277,160 Ordinary Shares. As of the date of this Prospectus, RVL has no outstanding Rhino Notes. Other than Natalia Pelham, who is our Chairman’s wife, the Rhino Investors are not related to Mr. Pelham nor are they affiliates to the Company.

 

Pursuant to a written convertible loan agreement, dated September 30, 2024 (the “RVL Loan”) RVL agreed to loan DSL, Diginex Limited’s wholly owned subsidiary, up to $3 million. Diginex Limited and RVL agreed that RVL would convert the $3 million RVL Loan into Ordinary Shares upon the pricing of the IPO at the IPO offering price and Diginex Limited granted RVL certain registration rights with respect to such converted shares. The RVL Loan is attached to Diginex Limited’s registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part as Exhibit 10.9. On January 6, 2025, DSL and RVL entered into a written agreement to modify and amend the RVL Loan to increase the amount RVL can loan DSL by $500,000 and on January 6, 2025, Diginex Limited and RVL entered into a written loan capitalization agreement whereby RVL agreed to convert a balance of the up to $3.5 million RVL loan to DSL into Ordinary Shares upon the pricing of the IPO at the IPO offering price and Diginex Limited granted RVL certain registration rights with respect to such converted shares (the “Modified RVL Loan”). The Modified RVL Loan is attached to Diginex Limited’s registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part as Exhibit 10.11. Pursuant to the Modified RVL Loan, RVL may loan DSL up to $3.5 million and RVL shall convert up to $3.5 million under the Modified RVL Loan into Ordinary Shares upon the pricing of the IPO at the IPO offering price. Based on the IPO offering price of $4.10 per share, on January 21, 2025, RVL converted $3.0 million of the Modified RVL Loan into 731,707 Ordinary Shares. In exchange for RVL’s conversion of a minimum of $3.0 million of the Modified RVL Loan into Ordinary Shares, Diginex Limited has agreed to provide RVL registration rights with respect to the Ordinary Shares that RVL receives upon conversion of the Modified RVL Loan. The conversion of the Modified RVL Loan is in addition to the conversion of the RVL convertible loan note with a principal balance of $517,535.

 

On December 20, 2024, the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 was declared effective by the SEC. This resulted in the conversion of all outstanding convertible loan notes into 2,347,134 Ordinary Shares and the outstanding Preferred Shares being converted into 2,583,820 Ordinary Shares on a one to one basis.

 

Following the consummation Restructuring, DSL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Diginex Limited, and the former shareholders and securityholders of DSL became shareholders and securityholders of Diginex Limited. Following the Restructuring, Diginex Limited has subsidiaries located in Hong Kong, United Kingdom and United States of America. Diginex Limited is the sole owner of DSL, and through DSL the sole owner of (i) Diginex Services Limited, a corporation formed in the United Kingdom and (ii) Diginex USA LLC, a limited liability company formed in the State of Delaware.

 

We completed our initial public offering on January 23, 2025. This resulted in the issuance of 2,250,000 Ordinary Shares for gross proceeds of $9,225,000. The underwriters in our initial public offering exercised the Over-Allotment option, which closed on January 27, 2025.This resulted in the issuance of 337,500 Ordinary Shares for gross proceeds of $1,383,750.

Summary Risk Factors

 

Risk Related to Diginex’s Business

 

Diginex Limited has a limited operating history and has incurred operating losses since its inception as it has been investing in the build out of its business lines, but they are not assured to be profitable.
   
Cyberattacks and security breaches of our platform, or those impacting our customers or third parties, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.
   
One or more of Diginex’s business lines may not produce sufficient cash flows to fund the capital requirements and expenditures necessary to run the business.
   
ESG reporting technology may not be widely adopted on blockchain due to association with digital assets.
   
Diginex’s business lines may require technology certifications and qualifications that DSL does not currently have and that may be costly and time-consuming to obtain and, even if obtained, may subsequently be revoked.
   
Our suit of products, services and initiatives, could fail to attract users and partners or generate revenue.
   
Diginex Limited faces substantial litigation risks.
   
Diginex Limited may not successfully develop technology to service its business lines.
   
Cybersecurity incidents and other systems and technology problems may materially and adversely affect Diginex Limited.
   
Diginex Limited may not be able to keep pace with rapidly changing technology and client requirements.
   
Diginex Limited may face the risk that one or more competitors have or will obtain patents covering technology critical to the operation of one or more of its business lines and that it may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
   
Managing different business lines could present conflicts of interest.
   
Economic, political and market conditions in Hong Kong and worldwide, can adversely affect Diginex’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
   
Diginex’s business lines and its acceptance of currencies other than the U.S. Dollar will subject it to currency risk.
   
Risks related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas.
   
Diginex’s business may be adversely affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and other catastrophic events, and by man-made problems such as terrorism, that could disrupt the business operations, and the business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not adequately protect it from a serious disaster.
   
DSL was previously owned by Eqonex Limited, until it was sold to Rhino Ventures Limited in May 2020. Eqonex Limited was focused on crypto currencies and went into liquidation in May 2022. There could be some legacy brand confusion which could impact the business of DSL and the value of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

Risks Related to Diginex Limited’s incorporation in the Cayman Islands

 

Because Diginex Limited is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.
   
It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against Diginex Limited or its directors and officers outside the United States, or to assert U.S. securities law claims outside of the United States.
   
As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, Diginex Limited is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if Diginex Limited complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.
   
Provisions in Diginex Limited’s governance documents may inhibit a takeover of Diginex Limited, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.
   
As a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited will be exempt from a number of U.S. securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder and will be permitted to publicly disclose less information than U.S. public companies must. This may limit the information available to holders of the Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.
   
You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.
   
Because Diginex Limited is a foreign private issuer and is exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if it were a domestic issuer.
   
We currently do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after the IPO and you must rely on price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares for return on your investment.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong

 

Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited is incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. Our principal executive offices and a portion of our global operations are located in Hong Kong. We do not operate in the PRC. We are not a mainland Chinese firm and neither us nor any of our subsidiaries is required to obtain permission from the government of the PRC to operate and issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors. DSL and our subsidiaries are not covered by permissions requirements from the CSRC, CAC, and no other PRC entity is required to approve of the company’s operations. We do not believe that we are required to obtain any approvals to offer securities to foreign investors. We have evaluated the laws and regulations of the PRC in coming to this conclusion. This conclusion is based on DSL being a Hong Kong company, with no operations in the PRC, and no VIE in our corporate structure. Since our only connection to the PRC is a physical location in Hong Kong, we have not relied on an opinion of counsel to reach this conclusion, relying instead on our internal analysis of the applicable PRC laws and regulations. If we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approval in the future, obtaining such approvals could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities, including the Ordinary Shares, to significantly decline or be worthless. If approval by PRC authorities were required, it could result in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our current business, and accept foreign investments, and such adverse actions would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless, make us subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies, and cause us to be delisted or prohibited from trading.

 

DSL primarily holds cash in bank accounts located in Hong Kong, we have no bank accounts or cash in PRC. There are no limitations on our ability to transfer cash from Hong Kong to our subsidiaries or investors.

We face risks and uncertainties relating to doing business in Hong Kong including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  The PRC government intervention into business activities by U.S.-listed, Chinese companies may indicate an expansion of the PRC’s authority that could negatively impact our existing and future operations in Hong Kong and PRC. For additional detail on this risk, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong – The PRC government intervention into business activities by U.S.-listed Chinese companies may indicate an expansion of the PRC’s authority that could negatively impact our existing and future operations in Hong Kong and PRC” starting on page 17 of this prospectus.
     
  Our business, financial condition and results of operations, and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected if certain laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to our company.
     
  The laws and regulations in the PRC and Hong Kong are evolving, and their enactment timetable, interpretation and implementation involve significant uncertainties. To the extent any PRC laws and regulations (or the equivalent Hong Kong version) become applicable to us, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the evolving laws and regulations in the PRC, their interpretation and implementation, and the legal and regulatory system in the PRC more generally, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes of rules and regulations in Hong Kong. For additional detail on this risk, see “Risk Factors –Interpretation of PRC laws and the implementation of National Security Law in Hong Kong involve uncertainty.” starting on page 20 of this prospectus.
     
 

We expect that to the extent certain laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to us, we may relocate our principal executive offices, employees, and operations out of Hong Kong. We may also be forced to dissolve our Hong Kong subsidiary and incorporate one or more new entities outside of Hong Kong. While we believe we may be able to relocate and reorganize, as an early-stage enterprise with limited revenue and that is not currently profitable, the costs and expenses related to relocating our offices, employees, and operations, as well as the legal and professional fees associated with reorganizing certain legal entities, would likely have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no guarantee that Diginex’s business lines, individually or together with our other business lines will be able to produce sufficient cash flows to fund the capital requirements and expenditures necessary to run the business and relocate.

 

For additional detail on these risks, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong – Our business, financial condition and results of operations, and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected if certain laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to a company. In that case, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the evolving laws and regulations in the PRC, their interpretation and implementation, and the legal and regulatory system in the PRC more generally, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes of rules and regulations, and be forced to relocate our operations outside of Hong Kong” starting on page 18 of this prospectus.

     
  Legislative actions by the PRC and the Hong Kong legislature have introduced risks and uncertainties concerning the Hong Kong legal system and the enforcement of the PRC’s laws in Hong Kong. For additional detail on this risk, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong – The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the availability of legal protections” and “–There are political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong” starting on page 19 of this prospectus.
     
  Rules and regulations in PRC, including some which may become applicable to Hong Kong, can change quickly with little advance notice, which could limit the legal protections available to the Company and its investors. For additional detail on this risk, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong – The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the availability of legal protections” starting on page 19 of this prospectus.

  The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations in Hong Kong at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in us. For additional detail on this risk, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong – The Hong Kong government may face further restrictive measures from PRC government in the future” starting on page 20 of this prospectus.
     
  The interpretation of PRC laws and the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong involve uncertainty. For additional detail on this risk, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong – Interpretation of PRC laws and the implementation of National Security Law in Hong Kong involve uncertainty” starting on page 20 of this prospectus.
     
  Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted or prohibited from being traded under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”) if the PCAOB were unable to fully inspect our auditor. The delisting or the cessation of trading of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of them being delisted or prohibited from being traded “over-the-counter,” may materially and adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of your investment. Additionally, if the PCAOB were unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, it would deprive our investors of the benefits of such inspections. Our independent registered public accounting firm for the financial statements included in this prospectus, UHY LLP, is also not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. UHY LLP are headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan. UHY LLP are not headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of UHY LLP. As a result, we do not believe the HFCAA and related regulations will affect our company. If, however, our independent registered public accounting firm, or its affiliates, were denied, even temporarily, the ability to practice before the SEC and PCAOB, and it were determined that our financial statements or audit reports are not in compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Exchange Act, we could be at risk of delisting or become subject to other penalties that would adversely affect our ability to remain listed on the Nasdaq. For additional detail on this risk, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong – Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted or prohibited from being traded under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB were unable to fully inspect our auditor. The delisting or the cessation of trading of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of them being delisted or prohibited from being traded, may materially and adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of your investment. Additionally, if the PCAOB were unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, it would deprive our investors with the benefits of such inspections” starting on page 21 of this prospectus.

 

Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares

 

We face risks and uncertainties related to our Ordinary Shares, including, but not limited to:

 

  Our controlling shareholders have a substantial influence over our company and his interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders;
  The future sales of Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders, including the sales pursuant to the Resale Prospectus, may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares;
  Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer;
  Although as a foreign private issuer we are exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, if we cannot continue to satisfy, the continued listing requirements and other rules of Nasdaq, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them;
  If we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer;
  We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies;
  We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an “emerging growth company”;
  You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders;
  Our Ordinary Shares may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares;
  You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of Ordinary Shares purchased;
  We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future;
  Volatility in our Ordinary Shares price may subject us to securities litigation.; and

 

If any or all of the foregoing were to occur, this could result in a material change in our Company’s operations and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares and/or significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before you invest in our securities you should carefully consider those risk factors hereunder and those risk factors that may be included in any applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, in evaluating an investment in our securities. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

Diginex Limited and its subsidiaries have a limited operating history and have incurred operating losses since its inception as it has been investing in the build out of its business lines. There can be no assurance that Diginex Limited and its subsidiaries will be profitable.

 

Diginex Limited and its subsidiaries have a limited operating history on which an investor might evaluate its performance. It is therefore subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel and financing sources and lack of revenues, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Diginex and may force it to reduce or curtail its operations. Diginex is not currently profitable and has incurred operating losses of $8.3 million, $8.1 million and $7.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively. There is no assurance that Diginex Limited will achieve a return on shareholders’ investments and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of its operations. Even if Diginex accomplishes its objectives, it may not generate positive cash flows or profits.

 

Furthermore, Diginex’s business lines and are not assured to be profitable. During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Diginex business generated revenue of $2.0 million, $1.3 million and $1.6 million respectively. Diginex may fail to develop its business lines or produce a return for its investors. It is possible that some of Diginex’s business lines may be difficult to grow, and it may become evident that a particular business line is not a productive use of capital or time. This could result in Diginex modifying its business and focus away from such business lines.

 

From time to time, Diginex has and may continue to launch new business lines, offer new products and services within existing business lines or undertake other strategic projects, including acquisitions. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts and Diginex could invest significant capital and resources into such efforts. Initial timetables for the development and introduction of new business lines or new products or services and price and profitability targets may not be met. New products or services may need to be initially launched on a limited basis prior to their full launch. In addition, Diginex’s revenues and costs may fluctuate because new business lines, products, acquisitions and services generally require startup and integration costs while revenues take time to develop, which may adversely impact Diginex’s results of operations.

 

If Diginex is unable to successfully build its business while controlling expenses, its ability to continue in business could depend on the ability to raise sufficient additional capital, obtain sufficient financing and monetize assets. There can be no guarantee that Diginex will be able to raise funding in sufficient quantity or at acceptable terms to fund the continued development of its business lines.

 

The occurrence of any of the foregoing risks would have a material adverse effect on Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our revenue is dependent on the continued importance of ESG to businesses and governments. If adoption of requirements to report on ESG does not grow as expected, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Our revenue is partially subscription based and revenue is determined by attracting new clients and by renewal of subscriptions. The supporting services such as Advisory are generally contingent on the client subscription levels for diginexESG and diginexLUMEN. As such, if these lines of business do not grow as expected, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Cyberattacks and security breaches of our platform, or those impacting our customers or third parties, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Our business involves the collection, storage, processing, and transmission of confidential information, customer, employee, service provider, and other personal data. We have built our reputation on the premise that our platform offers customers a secure way to collect, hold and assess data to generate relevant ESG reporting, supply chain reports and impacts on climate, amongst others. As a result, any actual or perceived security breach of us or our third-party partners may, among others:

 

  harm our reputation and brand;
  result in our systems or services being unavailable and interrupt our operations;
  result in improper disclosure of data and violations of applicable privacy and other laws;
  result in significant regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, and other legal, regulatory, and financial exposure;
  cause us to incur significant remediation costs;
  reduce customer confidence in, or decreased use of, our products and services;
  divert the attention of management from the operation of our business;
  result in significant compensation or contractual penalties from us to our customers or third parties as a result of losses to them or claims by them; and
  adversely affect our business and operating results.

 

An increasing number of organizations, including large merchants, businesses, technology companies, and financial institutions, as well as government institutions, have disclosed breaches of their information security systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks, including on their websites, mobile applications, and infrastructure.

 

13
 

 

Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries are increasing in frequency, persistence, and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded, and organized groups and individuals, including state actors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper, or illegal access to systems and information, disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on our systems or those of our third-party service providers or partners. Certain types of cyberattacks could harm us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, attacks may be designed to deceive employees and service providers into releasing control of our systems to a hacker, while others may aim to introduce computer viruses or malware into our systems with a view to stealing confidential or proprietary data. Additionally, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures.

 

Although we have developed systems and processes designed to protect the data we manage, prevent data loss and other security breaches, effectively respond to known and potential risks, and expect to continue to expend significant resources to bolster these protections, there can be no assurance that these security measures will provide absolute security or prevent breaches or attacks. We have experienced from time to time, and may experience in the future, breaches of our security measures due to human error, malfeasance, insider threats, system errors or vulnerabilities, or other irregularities. Unauthorized parties have attempted, and we expect that they will continue to attempt, to gain access to our systems and facilities, as well as those of our customers, partners, and third-party service providers, through various means, including hacking, social engineering, phishing, and attempting to fraudulently induce individuals (including employees, service providers, and our customers) into disclosing usernames, passwords, payment card information, or other sensitive information, which may in turn be used to access our information technology systems. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, and insiders. Certain threat actors may be supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more sophisticated and difficult to detect. As a result, our costs and the resources we devote to protecting against these advanced threats and their consequences may continue to increase over time.

 

Although we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate for the current stage of development of our business, it may be insufficient to protect us against all losses and costs stemming from system failures, security breaches, cyberattacks, and other types of unlawful activity, or any resulting disruptions from such events. Outages and disruptions of our platform, including any caused by cyberattacks, may harm our reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

One or more of Diginex’s business lines may not produce sufficient cash flows to fund the capital requirements and expenditures necessary to run the business.

 

There can be no guarantee that Diginex’s business lines, individually or together with our other business lines will be able to produce sufficient cash flows to fund the capital requirements and expenditures necessary to run the business. Furthermore, Diginex may not have or may not be able to obtain the technical skills or expertise needed to successfully or fully develop its business lines. While Diginex has sought to retain and continues to competitively recruit experts, there may, from time to time, be a scarcity of management, technical, scientific, research and marketing personnel with appropriate training to develop and maintain development of its business lines. If Diginex is not successful in its efforts to fully develop one or more of its business lines in a way that is compliant with customer requirements, and demonstrate to users the utility and value of such business, or there is not sufficient demand for the business line to be commercially viable, one or more business lines may not be viable, which could have an adverse effect on the Diginex’s overall business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Diginex’s business lines may require technology certifications and qualifications that Diginex does not currently have and that may be costly and time-consuming to obtain and, even if obtained, may subsequently be revoked.

 

Diginex’s business lines may require technology certifications such as ISO27001. These qualifications and future maintenance to continue to be qualified are expensive and timing consuming to obtain and will occupy material management attention and are not certain to be successful. A failure or delay in receiving approval for a certification or qualification, or approval that is more limited in scope than initially requested, or subsequently limited or rescinded, could have a significant and negative effect on Diginex, including the risk that a competitor gains an advantage.

 

Our suite of products, services and initiatives could fail to attract users and partners or generate revenue.

 

Our suite of products, services and initiatives and changes to existing features, services and initiatives could fail to attract users, and partners or generate revenue. Our industry is subject to changes in technology, evolving customer needs and the introduction by competitors of new and enhanced offerings. We must constantly assess our business and determine whether we need to improve or re-allocate resources among our existing platform features and services or create new products (independently or in conjunction with third parties) or acquire new products. Our ability to increase the size and engagement of our customers, attract partners and generate revenue will depend on those decisions. We may introduce significant changes to our existing platform and services or develop and introduce new products and services, which may not attract sufficient users or partners to generate revenue. If new or enhanced platform features or services fail to engage users, partners or generate sufficient revenue or operating profit to justify our investments, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

 

14
 

 

Diginex may face substantial litigation risks.

 

Diginex depends to a significant extent on its relationships with its clients and its reputation for integrity and high-caliber professional services. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with Diginex’s services or if there are allegations of negligent actions, including allegations by any of Diginex’s strategic relationships, whether the ultimate outcome is favorable or unfavorable to Diginex, or if there is negative publicity and press speculation about Diginex, whether or not valid, it may harm Diginex’s reputation and adversely affect the business and operating results.

 

Responding to inquiries, investigations, audits, lawsuits and proceedings, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the matter, is time-consuming and expensive and can divert the attention of senior management. The outcome of such proceedings may be difficult to predict or estimate until late in the proceedings, which may last a number of years.

 

Furthermore, while Diginex maintains insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions as well as caps on amounts refundable. Even if Diginex believes a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute Diginex’s entitlement for a variety of different reasons, which may affect the timing and, if the insurers prevail, the amount of Diginex’s recovery. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage Diginex’s reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or to obtain adequate insurance in the future.

 

Diginex may not successfully develop technology to service its business lines.

 

Diginex relies heavily on the use of technology that it has created or plans to create by itself or with other third parties. If Diginex’s technology solutions do not work as planned, or do not meet or continue to meet the level of quality required by Diginex or its clients, it may make transacting business less efficient, more expensive and potentially prone to errors, thereby reducing the positive effects Diginex seeks to make available to its clients.

 

Diginex may not be able to keep pace with rapidly changing technology and client requirements.

 

Diginex’s success depends on its ability to develop new products and services for its business lines, while improving the performance and cost-effectiveness of its existing products and services, in each case in ways that address current and anticipated client requirements. Such success is dependent upon several factors, including functionality, competitive pricing and integration with existing and emerging technologies. New technologies could emerge that might enable Diginex’s competitors to offer products and services with better combinations of price and performance, or that better address client requirements, than Diginex’s products and services. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than Diginex can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or client requirements.

 

Due to the significant lead time involved in bringing a new product or service to market, Diginex is required to make a number of assumptions and estimates regarding the commercial feasibility of new products and services. As a result, it is possible that Diginex may introduce a new product or service that uses technologies that have been displaced by the time of launch, addresses a market that no longer exists or is smaller than previously thought or otherwise is not competitive at the time of launch. The expenses or losses associated with an unsuccessful product or service development or launch, or a lack of market acceptance of Diginex’s new products and services, could adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Diginex’s ability to attract new clients and increase revenue from existing clients also depends on its ability to deliver any enhanced or new products and services to its clients in a format where they can be easily and consistently deployed by most or all clients without significant client service. If Diginex’s clients believe that deploying Diginex’s products and services would be overly time-consuming, confusing or technically challenging, then Diginex’s ability to grow its business would be substantially harmed.

 

Cybersecurity incidents and other systems and technology problems may materially and adversely affect Diginex.

 

Cybersecurity incidents and cyber-attacks have been occurring globally at a more frequent and severe level and will likely continue to increase in frequency in the future. Incidents, which may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by individuals or groups having authorized or unauthorized access to Diginex’s systems or Diginex’s clients’ or counterparties’ information, all of which may include confidential information. These individuals or groups include employees, third-party service providers, customers and hackers. The information and technology systems used by Diginex and its service providers are vulnerable to unauthorized access, damage or interruption from, among other things: hacking, ransomware, malware and other computer viruses; denial of service attacks; network failures; computer and telecommunication failures; phishing attacks; infiltration by unauthorized persons; fraud; security breaches; usage errors by their respective professionals; power outages; terrorism; and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. To date, Diginex has only experienced phishing incidents, none of which have been material. While Diginex will deploy a range of defenses, it is possible Diginex could suffer an impact or disruption that could materially and adversely affect Diginex. The security of the information and technology systems used by Diginex and its service providers may continue to be subjected to cybersecurity threats that could result in material failures or disruptions in Diginex’s business. If these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, Diginex or a service provider may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. Diginex has and will continue to have access to sensitive, confidential information of clients, which makes the cybersecurity risks identified above more important than they may be to other companies.

 

Concerns about Diginex’s practices with regard to, the collection use, disclosure, or safekeeping of confidential information and personal data, even if unfounded, could adversely affect its operating results. Furthermore, failures of Diginex’s cybersecurity system could harm Diginex’s reputation, subject it to legal claims and otherwise materially and adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

15
 

 

Diginex may face the risk that one or more competitors have or will obtain patents covering technology critical to the operation of one or more of its business lines and that it may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. Diginex’s lack of protectable intellectual property rights may negatively affect the business of Diginex.

 

If one or more other persons, companies or organizations has or obtains a valid patent covering technology critical to the operation of one or more of Diginex’s business lines, there can be no guarantee that such an entity would be willing to license such technology at acceptable prices or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, if for any reason Diginex were to fail to comply with its obligations under an applicable agreement, it may be unable to operate, which would also have a material adverse effect on Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Due to the fundamentally open-source nature of blockchain and other technology, Diginex may not always be able to determine that it is using or accessing protected information or software. For example, there could be issued patents of which Diginex is not aware that its products infringe. Moreover, patent applications are in some cases maintained in secrecy until patents are issued. The publication of discoveries in scientific or patent literature frequently occurs substantially later than the date on which the underlying discoveries were made, and patent applications were filed. Because patents can take many years to issue, there may currently be pending applications of which Diginex is unaware that may later result in issued patents that its products infringe.

 

Diginex could expend significant resources defending against patent infringement and other intellectual property right claims, which could require it to divert resources away from operations. Any damages Diginex is required to pay or injunctions against its continued use of such intellectual property in resolution of such claims may cause a material adverse effect to its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Accordingly, Diginex’s lack of protectable intellectual property rights may negatively affect the business of Diginex, if it is determined that Diginex’s product offerings infringe upon the intellectual property rights or claims of others. A determination that Diginex’s product offerings infringe upon the intellectual property rights or claims of others could restrict, limit or even prohibit Diginex ability to offer and sell such infringing products. Such restrictions, limitations or prohibitions could reduce Diginex’s revenue and/or earnings and negatively affect the stock price of Diginex Limited.

 

Managing different business lines could present conflicts of interest.

 

Appropriately identifying and dealing with conflicts of interest is complex and difficult, and Diginex’s reputation could be damaged and the willingness of clients to enter into transactions with Diginex may be affected if Diginex fails, or appears to fail, to identify, disclose and deal appropriately with conflicts of interest. In addition, potential or perceived conflicts could give rise to litigation. As a result, failures to appropriately identify and address potential conflicts of interest could materially adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Economic, political and market conditions in Hong Kong and worldwide, can adversely affect Diginex’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Diginex’s business is influenced by a range of factors that are beyond its control and that it has no comparative advantage in forecasting. These include, among others:

 

  General economic and business conditions;
     
  Overall demand for Diginex’s products and services; and
     
  General legal and political developments.

 

Macroeconomic developments, including the impact of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the conflict between Israel and Iran, the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, evolving trade policies between the U.S. and international trade partners, including the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and Hong Kong or the occurrence of similar events in other countries that lead to uncertainty or instability in economic, political or market conditions could negatively affect Diginex’s business, operating results and financial conditions and/or any of its third-party service providers.

 

Furthermore, any general weakening of, and related declining confidence in, the global economy or the curtailment of government or corporate spending could cause potential clients to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of Diginex’s products and services.

 

A material element of Diginex’s operations is in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has been governed by the basic law, which guarantees a high degree of autonomy from the PRC in certain matters until 2047. If the PRC were to exert its authority to alter the economic, political or legal structures or the existing social policy of Hong Kong, investor and business confidence in Hong Kong could be negatively affected, which in turn could negatively affect markets and business performance and have an adverse effect on Diginex. There is uncertainty as to the political, economic and social status of Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s evolving relationship with the PRC’s central government in Beijing has been a source of political unrest that has periodically resulted in large-scale protests, including those that occurred in 2019 in response to an extradition bill proposed by the Hong Kong government, which was subsequently waived. These protests created disruptions for businesses operating in Hong Kong and have negatively impacted the overall economy however, the frequency and intensity of protests have declined in recent years since the passing of the National Security Law.

 

Significant operations of Diginex’s business are currently located in Hong Kong. It is possible that Diginex may decide to relocate certain operations from Hong Kong to another location in the future. In doing so, it is also possible that Diginex may not be able to retain certain expert staff. If Diginex loses the services of any member of management or other such key personnel as a result of relocating, it may not be able to find suitable or qualified replacements and may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new staff, which could materially disrupt Diginex’s business and growth.

 

16
 

 

Diginex’s business lines and its acceptance of currencies other than the U.S. Dollar will subject it to currency risk.

 

Diginex’s financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars so it must translate non-U.S. dollar denominated revenues, income and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities, into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period. These fluctuations may materially impact the translation of Diginex’s non-U.S. results of operations and financial condition.

 

Furthermore, increases or decreases in the value of the currencies Diginex operates with may affect its operating results and the value of its assets and liabilities. USD is the main currency for Diginex but it also uses, to a lesser extent, Great British Pound, Hong Kong Dollar and Euro.

 

Diginex’s business may be adversely affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and other catastrophic events, and by man-made problems such as terrorism, that could disrupt the business operations, and the business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not adequately protect it from a serious disaster.

 

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may also cause damage or disruption to operations, international commerce, and the global economy, and could have an adverse effect on business, operating results, and financial condition. Business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, and other events beyond Diginex’s control. In addition, Diginex’s global operations expose it to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, which could harm the business and cause operating results to suffer. For example, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted, and could continue to result, in difficulties or changes to customer support, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could adversely impact business and operating results. Further, acts of terrorism, labor activism or unrest, and other geo-political unrest could cause disruptions in the business or the businesses of partners or the economy as a whole. In the event of a natural disaster, including a major earthquake, blizzard, or hurricane, or a catastrophic event such as a fire, power loss, or telecommunications failure, Diginex may be unable to continue operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in development of Diginex’s platform(s), lengthy interruptions in service, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data, all of which could have an adverse effect on future operating results.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong

 

The recent PRC government intervention into business activities by U.S.-listed Chinese companies may negatively impact our existing and future operations in Hong Kong.

 

Diginex Limited in incorporated in the Cayman Island but has a subsidiary, DSL, that is incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. We are not a mainland Chinese firm and neither us nor any of our subsidiaries is required to obtain permission from the government of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) to operate and issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors. We do not operate in the PRC.

 

Recently, the Chinese government announced that it would increase supervision of mainland Chinese firms listed offshore. Under the new measures, PRC will improve regulation of cross-border data flows and security, police illegal activity in the securities market and punish fraudulent securities issuances, market manipulation and insider trading. PRC will also monitor sources of funding for securities investment and control leverage ratios. The Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) has also opened a cybersecurity probe into several large U.S.-listed technology companies focusing on anti-monopoly and financial technology regulation and, more recently with the passage of the Data Security Law, how companies collect, store, process and transfer data. If we are subject to such a probe or if we are required to comply with stepped-up supervisory requirements, valuable time from our management and money may be expended in complying and/or responding to the probe and requirements, thus diverting valuable resources and attention away from our operations. This may, in turn, negatively impact our operations.

 

As a Hong Kong company that does not operate in the PRC, the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition or operation. However, because of the Company’s operations in Hong Kong and given the Chinese government’s significant oversight authority over the conduct of business in Hong Kong, there is always a risk that the Chinese government may, in the future, seek to affect operations of any company with any level of operations in PRC (including Hong Kong), including its ability to offer securities to investors, list its securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. In light of PRC’s recent expansion of authority in Hong Kong, there are risks and uncertainties which we cannot foresee for the time being, and rules and regulations in PRC can change quickly. The Chinese government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong and PRC at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers likes ourselves.

 

If any or all of the foregoing were to occur, this could result in a material change in our Company’s operations and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares and/or significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations, and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected if certain laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to a company such as us. In that case, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the evolving laws and regulations in the PRC, their interpretation and implementation, and the legal and regulatory system in the PRC more generally, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes of rules and regulations, and be forced to relocate our operations outside of Hong Kong.

 

We do not operate in the PRC, we operate, in Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are not a mainland Chinese firm, and neither us nor any of our subsidiaries is required to obtain permission from the government of the PRC to operate and issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors. It is the opinion of our PRC counsel that Diginex Limited and DSL are not subject to the requirements of the CSRC or the CAC, and their operations are not subject to the review or approval of any other PRC governmental authority. If we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approval in the future, obtaining such approvals could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities, including the Ordinary Shares, to significantly decline or be worthless. If approval by PRC authorities were required, it could result in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our current business, and accept foreign investments, and such adverse actions would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless, make us subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies, and cause us to be delisted or prohibited from trading.

 

If certain PRC laws and regulations, including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future, were to become applicable to a company such as us in the future, the application of such laws and regulations may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, any of which may cause the value of our securities, including our Ordinary Shares, to significantly decline or become worthless. For example, if the PRC Data Security Law were to apply to our Hong Kong-based business, we could become subject to data security and privacy obligations, including the need to conduct a national security review of data activities that may affect the national security of the PRC, and be prohibited from providing data stored in Hong Kong to foreign judicial or law enforcement agencies without approval from relevant PRC regulatory authorities. Furthermore, if any law relating to the PCAOB access to auditor files were to apply to a company such as us or our auditor, the PCAOB may be unable to fully inspect our auditor, which may result in our securities, including our Ordinary Shares, being delisted or prohibited from being traded pursuant to the HFCAA and materially and adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of your investment

 

It is noted that relevant parts of the PRC government have made recent statements or recently taken regulatory actions related to data security, anti-monopoly and overseas listings of PRC businesses. For example, the PRC Data Security Law and the Measures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfer (the “Measures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfer”), relevant PRC government agencies have recently taken anti-trust enforcement action against certain PRC-based businesses. We understand such enforcement action was taken pursuant to the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law which applies to monopolistic activities in domestic economic activities in PRC and monopolistic activities outside PRC which eliminate or restrict market competition in PRC. In addition, on February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies and relevant supporting guidelines on regulating both direct and indirect (including through arrangements called VIEs) overseas offering and listing of PRC domestic companies’ securities through a filing-based regulatory regime, which became effected on March 31, 2023. In light of such developments, the SEC has imposed enhanced disclosure requirements on PRC-based companies seeking to register securities with the SEC. While, as our company currently does not have any operations in PRC, including any customer-facing business in PRC, and does not have a VIE structure, we believe that the statements or regulatory actions by the relevant parts of the PRC government, including statements relating to the PRC Data Security Law, the Measures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfer, the PRC Personal Information Protection Law and VIEs as well as the anti-monopoly enforcement actions, will not have any material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business, accept foreign investments, or list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case or that the PRC government will not seek to intervene or influence our operations at any time. Should such statements or regulatory actions apply to a company such as us in the future, it would likely have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to accept foreign investments and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors on a U.S. or other international securities exchange, any of which may cause the value of our securities, including our Ordinary Shares, to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

While we cannot predict the extent of such impact if such events were to occur, we expect that to the extent certain laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to us, we may relocate our principal executive offices, employees, and operations out of Hong Kong. We may also be forced to dissolve our Hong Kong subsidiary and incorporate one or more new entities outside of Hong Kong. While we believe we may be able to relocate and reorganize, as an early-stage enterprise with limited revenue and that is not currently profitable, the costs and expenses related to relocating our offices, employees, and operations, as well as the legal and professional fees associated with reorganizing certain legal entities, would likely have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no guarantee that Diginex’s business lines will be able to produce sufficient cash flows to fund the capital requirements and expenditures necessary to run the business and relocate.

  

The laws and regulations in the PRC are evolving, and their enactment timetable, interpretation and implementation involve significant uncertainties. To the extent any PRC laws and regulations become applicable to us, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the evolving laws and regulations in the PRC, their interpretation and implementation, and the legal and regulatory system in the PRC more generally, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes of rules and regulations with little or no advance notice.

There are political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong.

 

During the period covered by the financial information incorporated by reference into and included in this Prospectus we have a substantial part of our operations in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business operations and financial condition may be affected by political and legal developments in Hong Kong. Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters, may adversely affect the business operations of our Hong Kong entity. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law, namely, Hong Kong’s constitutional document, which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems”. However, there is no assurance that the PRC will not drive changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong in the future. Since part of our operation is based in Hong Kong, any change of such political arrangements may pose immediate threat to the stability of the economy in Hong Kong, thereby directly and adversely affecting our results of operations and financial position.

 

Under the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. Based on certain recent developments, including the Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued by the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress in June 2020, the U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from PRC. In 2020, President Trump signed an executive order and the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, or HKAA, to remove Hong Kong’s preferential trade status and to authorize the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. The United States may impose the same tariffs and other trade restrictions on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from PRC. These and other recent actions may represent an escalation in political and trade tensions involving the U.S., PRC and Hong Kong, which could potentially harm our business.

 

Given the relatively small geographical size of Hong Kong, any such incidents may have a widespread effect on our business operations, which could in turn adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the HKAA on Hong Kong and companies with operations in Hong Kong. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions in respect of PRC-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, and the market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected.

 

The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the availability of legal protections.

 

On January 18, 2019, the Supreme People’s Court and the Hong Kong SAR Government signed the Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters by the Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“the New Arrangement”), which seeks to establish a mechanism with greater clarity and certainty for recognition and enforcement of judgments in wider range of civil and commercial matters between Hong Kong SAR and the PRC. The New Arrangement does not include the requirement for a choice of court agreement in writing by the parties. The New Arrangement will only take effect after the promulgation of a judicial interpretation by the Supreme People’s Court and the completion of the relevant legislative procedures in the Hong Kong SAR. On the Hong Kong side, the New Arrangement needs to be implemented through local laws. According to the Hong Kong government’s constitutional report on November 10, 2023, the Mainland Civil and Commercial Judgments (Mutual Enforcement) Ordinance (Chapter 645) and the Mainland Civil and Commercial Judgments (Mutual Enforcement) Rules came into effect on January 29, 2024.

 

As one of the conditions for the handover of the sovereignty of Hong Kong to PRC, PRC accepted conditions such as Hong Kong’s Basic Law. The Basic Law ensured Hong Kong will retain its own currency (the Hong Kong Dollar), legal system, parliamentary system and people’s rights and freedom for fifty years from 1997. This agreement has given Hong Kong the freedom to function with a high degree of autonomy. The Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong is responsible for its own domestic affairs including, but not limited to, the judiciary and courts of last resort, immigration and customs, public finance, currencies and extradition. Hong Kong continues using the English common law system.

 

However, if the PRC attempts to alter its agreement to allow Hong Kong to function autonomously, this could potentially impact Hong Kong’s common law legal system and may in turn bring about uncertainty in, for example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our customers.

The Hong Kong government may face further restrictive measures from PRC government in the future.

 

The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations in Hong Kong at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in us. The PRC government has claimed in its official policy documents that it exercises ‘comprehensive jurisdiction’ over Hong Kong. We cannot assure you that the Hong Kong government will not be facing further restrictive measures from PRC’s government in the future. The PRC government’s further potential restrictive regulations and measures could increase our existing and future operating costs by adapting to these regulations and measures, limit our access to capital resources or even restrict our existing and future business operations, which could further adversely affect our business and prospects.

 

For example, The Mainland Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters (Reciprocal Enforcement) Ordinance Cap. 645 has come into effect in Hong Kong on January 29, 2024 (the Mainland Judgments Ordinance). The Mainland Judgment Ordinance creates a new registration system whereby certain judgments issued by Mainland courts could be enforced in Hong Kong SAR. These judgments include civil and/or commercial judgments handed down by Mainland courts, and criminal judgments (insofar as it is confined to an order to pay a sum of money for compensation and/or damages). The Mainland Judgments Ordinance implements the Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters by the Courts of the PRC and Hong Kong SAR. The Supreme People’s Court of Mainland and the Hong Kong Government signed the above Arrangement on January 18, 2019.

 

The cumulative effects of the Mainland Judgments Ordinance are:

 

(i) it expedites the enforcement of Mainland civil and/or commercial judgments in Hong Kong. This includes both monetary or non-monetary orders. An opposing party must object within a short period of time. The objection must be strictly confined to the grounds as set out in the Mainland Judgments Ordinance,

 

(ii) criminal judgments which carry monetary compensation or damages orders are also enforceable in Hong Kong. A wide range of PRC legislations and administrative regulations give power to the Mainland courts to order for monetary compensation or damages in criminal cases. The Mainland criminal justice system is known for its very high conviction rate.

 

(iii) Hong Kong-based assets are now liable to be confiscated or seized by orders of the Hong Kong courts for the purposes of the execution of Mainland judgments.

 

On 8 March 2024, the Hong Kong SAR Government issued the Safeguarding National Security Bill (the “Bill”). The Bill as amended was then approved and passed at a full Legislative Council meeting on 19 March 2024. The Safeguarding National Security Ordinance became law and took effect from March 23, 2024. This law grants authorities’ broad powers to address perceived threats to national security, but its implementation and interpretation introduce significant uncertainty. See “– Interpretation of PRC laws and the implementation of National Security Law in Hong Kong involve uncertainty.”

 

Interpretation of PRC laws and the implementation of National Security Law in Hong Kong involve uncertainty.

 

Since 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Prior court decisions are encouraged to be used for reference, but it remains unclear to what extent the prior court decisions may impact the current court ruling as the encouragement policy is new and there is limited judicial practice in this regard. Since a large number of laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, and regulations and rules are not always uniform and the enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.

 

Depending on the government agency or how an application or case is presented to such agency, we may receive less favorable interpretations of laws and regulations than our competitors, particularly if a competitor has long been established in the locality of and has developed a relationship with such agency. In addition, any litigation may be protracted and result in substantial costs and a diversion of resources and management attention. All of these uncertainties may cause difficulties in the enforcement of our rights, entitlements under our permits and other statutory and contractual rights and interests.

 

On March 8, 2024, the Hong Kong SAR Government issued the Safeguarding National Security Bill (the “Bill”). The Bill as amended was then approved and passed at a full Legislative Council meeting on March 19, 2024. The Safeguarding National Security Ordinance became law and took effect from March 23, 2024. According to the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR, the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance demonstrates three key objectives: (1) to resolutely, fully and faithfully implement the policy of “one country, two systems” under which the people of Hong Kong administer Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy; (2) to establish and improve the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the Hong Kong SAR to safeguard national security; and (3) to prevent, suppress and punish acts and activities endangering national security in accordance with the law, to protect the lawful rights and interests of the residents of the Hong Kong SAR and other people in the Hong Kong SAR, to ensure the property and investment in the Hong Kong SAR are protected by the law, to maintain prosperity and stability of the Hong Kong SAR. This ordinance introduces significant uncertainty for businesses operating in Hong Kong. This law grants authorities broad powers to address perceived threats to national security, but its implementation and interpretation remain fluid. The ordinance applies not only within Hong Kong but also to activities conducted outside its borders. Businesses with international operations may face legal risks if their actions are perceived as undermining national security, even if those actions occur elsewhere. Companies may inadvertently violate the law due to its complexity and evolving interpretation. Compliance costs, legal challenges, and reputational damage could result from inadvertent non-compliance. The uncertainty surrounding the ordinance may deter foreign investment, impact investor confidence, and affect Hong Kong’s status as a global financial hub. All of these may adversely affect our operations in Hong Kong.

Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted or prohibited from being traded under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB were unable to fully inspect our auditor. The delisting or the cessation of trading of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of them being delisted or prohibited from being traded, may materially and adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of your investment. Additionally, if the PCAOB were unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, it would deprive our investors with the benefits of such inspections.

 

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states that if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit our shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S.

 

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that has issued the audit report included elsewhere in this Prospectus, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Under current practice and PRC law, the PCAOB is currently able to inspect the audit work and practices of PCAOB-registered firms in PRC. Our auditor is located in the United States, with affiliates in Hong Kong, and the PCAOB has not been legally restricted from inspecting PCAOB audits relating to operations in Hong Kong. As noted above, except for the Basic Law, national laws of the PRC do not apply in Hong Kong unless they are listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. The Basic Law expressly provides that the national laws of the PRC which may be listed in Annex III of the Basic Law shall be confined to those relating to defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the autonomy of Hong Kong. National laws of the PRC relating to PCAOB access to auditor files have not been listed in Annex III and so do not apply directly to Hong Kong. The PRC legal system is evolving rapidly and the PRC laws, regulations, and rules may change quickly with little advance notice. To the extent any PRC laws and regulations become applicable to a company such as us or our auditor, the PCAOB loses its ability to inspect audit firms located in PRC and our auditor retains its working papers in PRC, the PCAOB may be unable to inspect our auditor. The lack of inspection could cause trading in your securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA and as a result Nasdaq may determine to delist your Ordinary Shares.

 

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the Act. We would be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies us as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCAA, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above.

 

In May 2021, the PCAOB issued a proposed rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, for public comment. The proposed rule is related to the PCAOB’s responsibilities under the HFCAA, which, according to the PCAOB, would establish a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. The proposed rule was adopted by the PCAOB on September 22, 2021 and approved by the SEC on November 5, 2021. On December 2, 2021, SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA.

 

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

 

In December 2021, the SEC adopted rules to implement the HFCAA and pursuant to the HFCAA, the PCAOB issued its report notifying the SEC of its determination that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in PRC or Hong Kong.

 

If for whatever reason the PCAOB is unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, such uncertainty could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded. If our securities were unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our Ordinary Shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Inspections of other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside the PRC have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. If the PCAOB were unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, we and the investors in our Ordinary Shares would be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. In addition, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct full inspections of auditors would make it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause investors and potential investors in our securities to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm, UHY LLP, is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. UHY LLP are headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan. UHY LLP are not headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of UHY LLP. As a result, we do not believe the HFCAA and related regulations will affect our company. If, however, our independent registered public accounting firm, or its affiliates, were denied, even temporarily, the ability to practice before the SEC and PCAOB, and it were determined that our financial statements or audit reports are not in compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Exchange Act, we could be at risk of delisting or become subject to other penalties that would adversely affect our ability to remain listed on the Nasdaq.

Cayman Islands Risk Factors

 

Because Diginex Limited is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

 

Diginex Limited is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Diginex Limited’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against Diginex Limited’s directors or officers.

 

Diginex Limited’s corporate affairs will be governed by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, the Companies Act (As Revised) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Diginex Limited will also be subject to the federal securities laws of the United States. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of Diginex Limited’s directors to Diginex Limited under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of Diginex Limited’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of Diginex Limited’s directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.

 

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like Diginex Limited have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the register of mortgages and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Diginex Limited’s directors have discretion under its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles that became effective immediately prior to completion of the IPO to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to Diginex Limited’s shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

 

As a result of all of the above, Diginex Limited’s public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of Diginex Limited’s board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Securities Capital — Certain Differences in Corporate Law.”

 

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, Diginex Limited is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if Diginex Limited complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

 

Diginex Limited is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and has listed the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. Nasdaq market rules permit a foreign private issuer like Diginex Limited to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is Diginex Limited’s home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards as, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care, Cayman Islands law has no corporate governance regime which prescribes specific corporate governance standards.

 

We rely on home country practice with respect to our corporate governance. As a result, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Among others, we will not be required to: (i) obtain shareholders’ approval for issuance of securities in certain situations; or (ii) have regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year.

 

Diginex Limited has elected to be exempt from the requirement: (i) in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(a) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price less than the lower of: (a) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (b) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement.; (ii) in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5620(c) requiring a Nasdaq-listing company to provide in its by-laws for a quorum of at least 33 1/3 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common voting stock; (iii) in Nasdaq marketplace Rule 5605(b)(2) requiring a Nasdaq-listing company to have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present; and (iv) in Nasdaq marketplace Rule 5635(c) requires a Nasdaq-listed company to obtain shareholder approval for the establishment of or material amendments to equity compensation.

 

22
 

 

Provisions in the Diginex Limited’s governance documents may inhibit a takeover of Diginex Limited, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.

 

Diginex Limited’s governance documents contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include that Diginex Limited may issue additional shares without shareholder approval and such additional shares could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The ability for Diginex Limited to issue additional shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise that could involve the payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

 

As a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited will be exempt from a number of U.S. securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder and will be permitted to publicly disclose less information than U.S. public companies must. This may limit the information available to holders of the Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

 

Diginex Limited qualifies as a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and, consequently, Diginex Limited is not subject to all of the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the United States. For example, Diginex Limited is exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, Diginex Limited’s officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of Diginex Limited’s securities. For example, some of Diginex Limited’s key executives may sell a significant amount of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares and such sales will not be required to be disclosed as promptly as public companies organized within the United States would have to disclose. Accordingly, once such sales are eventually disclosed, the price of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares may decline significantly. Moreover, Diginex Limited is not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies. Diginex Limited is also not subject to Regulation FD under the Exchange Act, which would prohibit Diginex Limited from selectively disclosing material nonpublic information to certain persons without concurrently making a widespread public disclosure of such information. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning Diginex Limited than there is for U.S. public companies.

 

As a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited will file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the close of each fiscal year ended March 31 and furnish reports on Form 6-K relating to certain material events promptly after Diginex Limited publicly announces these events. However, because of the above exemptions for foreign private issuers, which Diginex Limited relies on, Diginex Limited shareholders will not be afforded the same information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies that are not foreign private issuers.

 

You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

 

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. These rights, however, may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Diginex Limited’s amended and restated articles of association allow one or more of our shareholders who together hold not less than 10% of the rights to vote to requisition a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least five (5) clear days is required to be given to the shareholders for the convening of any general meeting. A quorum required for a general meeting is one or more holders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of the outstanding shares of the Company carrying the right to vote at such general meeting. For these purposes, “clear days” means that period excluding (a) the day when the notice is given or deemed to be given and (b) the day for which it is given or on which it is to take effect.

 

Because Diginex Limited is a foreign private issuer and is exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if it were a domestic issuer.

 

Diginex Limited’s status as a foreign private issuer exempts it from compliance with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements if it instead complies with the statutory requirements applicable to a Cayman Islands exempted company. The statutory requirements of Diginex Limited’s home country of Cayman Islands do not strictly require a majority of its board to consist of independent directors, unless required by Nasdaq rules. Thus, although a director must act in the best interests of Diginex Limited, it is possible that fewer board members will be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight on the management of Diginex Limited may decrease as a result. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have an independent compensation committee with a minimum of two members, a nominating committee, and an independent audit committee with a minimum of three members. Diginex Limited, as a foreign private issuer, with the exception of needing an independent audit committee composed of at least three members, is not subject to these requirements. The Nasdaq Listing Rules may also require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters that Diginex Limited’s home country’s rules do not. Following Cayman Islands governance practices, as opposed to complying with the requirements applicable to a U.S. company listed on Nasdaq, may provide less protection to you than would otherwise be the case.

Diginex Limited may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

 

As a “foreign private issuer,” Diginex Limited would not be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations. Under those rules, the determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to Diginex on September 30, 2025.

 

In the future, Diginex Limited could lose its foreign private issuer status if a majority of its Ordinary Shares are held by residents in the United States and it fails to meet any one of the additional “business contacts” requirements. Although Diginex Limited intends to follow certain practices that are consistent with U.S. regulatory provisions applicable to U.S. companies, Diginex Limited’s loss of foreign private issuer status would make such provisions mandatory. The regulatory and compliance costs to Diginex Limited under U.S. securities laws if it is deemed a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher. If Diginex Limited is not a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited will be required to file periodic reports and prospectuses on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. For example, Diginex Limited would become subject to the Regulation FD, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. Diginex Limited also may be required to modify certain of its policies to comply with good governance practices associated with U.S. domestic issuers. Such conversion and modifications will involve additional costs. In addition, Diginex Limited may lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq that are available to foreign private issuers. For example, Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of independent board members and independent director oversight of executive compensation, nomination of directors, and corporate governance matters. Nasdaq rules also require shareholder approval of certain share issuances, including approval of equity compensation plans. As a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited would be permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. As long as Diginex Limited relies on the foreign private issuer exemption to certain of Nasdaq’s corporate governance standards, a majority of the directors on its board of directors are not required to be independent directors, its remuneration committee is not required to be comprised entirely of independent directors and it will not be required to have a nominating and corporate governance committee, unless otherwise required by Nasdaq rules. If Diginex Limited loses its foreign private issuer status and fails to comply with U.S. securities laws applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, Diginex Limited may have to de-list from Nasdaq and could be subject to investigation by the SEC, Nasdaq and other regulators, among other materially adverse consequences.

 

We currently do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and you must rely on price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares for a return on your investment.

 

We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund our development and growth. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income.

 

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from the operating entities, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that our Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased Ordinary Shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our Ordinary Shares.

 

Risks Related to Taxation

 

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. Holders of our Shares.

 

In general, we will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of our gross income (looking through certain 25% or more-owned subsidiaries) is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the average value of our assets (looking through certain 25% or more-owned subsidiaries) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes, without limitation, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined in the Section of this Prospectus captioned “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of our securities, the U.S. Holder may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis applying principles and methodologies that in some circumstances are unclear and subject to varying interpretation. Our actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. We urge U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules in light of their individual circumstances.

Risks Related to Being a Public Company

 

Diginex Limited has limited experience operating as a public company and fulfilling its obligations as a U.S. reporting company may be expensive and time consuming.

 

Only one member of the Company’s executive officers has past experience in operating a U.S. public company, which makes their ability to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations uncertain. The Company’s failure to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to U.S. public companies could subject Diginex or its management to regulatory scrutiny or sanction, which could harm the Company’s reputation and share price.

 

As a public company Diginex Limited will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company. Diginex Limited is subject to reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, the rules and regulations of the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Stockholder activism, the current political and social environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which will likely result in additional compliance costs and could impact the manner in which Diginex operates its business in ways Diginex cannot currently anticipate. Compliance with these rules and regulations may strain Diginex’s financial and management systems, internal controls, and employees. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that Diginex Limited files annual, half yearly, and current reports with respect to its business and operating results. Moreover, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that Diginex Limited maintains effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control, over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over, financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. If Diginex Limited encounters material weaknesses or deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, Diginex Limited may not detect errors on a timely basis and its consolidated financial statements may be materially misstated. Effective internal control is necessary for Diginex Limited to produce reliable financial reports and is important to prevent fraud.

 

Diginex Limited, as an emerging growth company, is not required to have its independent auditor attestation of management assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting. However, when Diginex Limited ceases to be an emerging growth company, its independent registered public accounting firm may be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting at some point in the future on Form 20-F. Diginex Limited expects to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, Diginex’s management attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm the business, operating results, and financial condition. Diginex finance team is not large and it may need to hire more employees in the future, or engage outside consultants, which will increase operating expenses.

 

Diginex also expects that being a public company and complying with applicable rules and regulations will make it more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and Diginex may be required to incur substantially higher costs to obtain and maintain the same or similar coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for Diginex to attract and retain qualified members of its board of directors and qualified executive officers.

 

A potential failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on Diginex’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Diginex may be unable to accurately report Diginex’s financial results or prevent fraud if Diginex cannot maintain an effective system of internal controls over Diginex’s financial reporting.

 

Diginex will be subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC,” as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act,” adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Diginex Limited is an “emerging growth company,” and are expected to first include a management report on Diginex’s internal controls over financial reporting in Diginex Limited’s second annual report after the close of its initial public offering, which is for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Diginex’s management may conclude that Diginex Limited’s internal controls over Diginex’s financial reporting are not effective, and Diginex Limited’s reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on Diginex’s management, operational and financial resources, and systems for the foreseeable future, which will increase Diginex’s operating expenses.

 

The establishment of effective internal controls over financial reporting is necessary for Diginex Limited to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. Diginex’s failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could consequently result in a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of Diginex Limited’s financial statements, which in turn could harm Diginex’s business and negatively impact the trading price of Diginex Limited’s stock. Diginex Limited anticipate that it will incur considerable costs and devote significant management time and efforts and other resources to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

25
 

 

If we fail to establish and maintain proper internal financial reporting controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

 

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we will be required to file a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm may be required. While we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. We might not identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal controls in connection with evaluating our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting could result in financial statement errors which, in turn, could lead to errors in our financial reports and/or delays in our financial reporting, which could require us to restate our operating results.

 

The JOBS Act permits “emerging growth companies” like Diginex Limited to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

Diginex Limited is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act defines an emerging growth company as a company that has annual gross revenues of less than $1.235 billion during its most recent fiscal year and has not sold common stock under a registration statement. A company will be classified as an emerging growth company for its first five fiscal years, unless: its gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, it has issued over $1 billion in non-convertible debt over three years, or it becomes a large accelerated filer. SEC Rule 12b-2 provides that a large accelerated filer is a company that has a public float of greater than $700 million, has been filing periodic reports for at least 12 months, has previously filed at least one annual report (e.g. Form 20-F), and is not a smaller reporting company. That is, a large accelerated filer is simply an accelerated filer whose public float exceeds $700 million. As such, Diginex Limited takes advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies based on its status as an emerging growth company. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, once Diginex Limited is no longer an emerging growth company, Diginex Limited may be required to furnish an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by Diginex Limited’s independent registered public accounting firm. When Diginex Limited’s independent registered public accounting firm is required to undertake an assessment of its internal control over financial reporting, the cost of complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will significantly increase, and management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect Diginex’s business and results of operations.

 

Our major shareholder has substantial influence over our company and his interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders.

 

As of the date of this Prospectus, our major shareholder, beneficially owns an aggregate of approximately 40.2% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result of this major shareholders’ substantial shareholding, he has a substantial influence over our business, including decisions regarding acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This shareholder may take actions that are not in the best interests of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our Ordinary Shares. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders.

 

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our Ordinary Shares and penny stock trading.

 

If we fail to satisfy the applicable continued listing requirements to maintain the listing of our Ordering Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq may commence delisting procedures against our Company (during which we may have additional time of up to six months to appeal and correct our non-compliance). If our Ordinary Shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq, our Ordinary Shares would likely then trade only in the over-the-counter market and the market liquidity of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected and their market price could decrease. If our Ordinary Shares were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our Ordinary Shares could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; a determination that our shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our securities to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; a reduced amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our Ordinary Shares and would substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds and could result in a loss of institutional investor interest and fewer development opportunities for us.

 

In addition to the foregoing, if our Ordinary Shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq and they trade on the over-the-counter market, the application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares and increase the transaction costs to sell those shares. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. If our Ordinary Shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq and then trade on the over-the-counter market at a price of less than $5.00 per share, our Ordinary Shares would be considered a penny stock. The SEC’s penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and the salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that before a transaction in a penny stock occurs, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s agreement to the transaction. If applicable in the future, these rules may restrict the ability of brokers-dealers to sell our Ordinary Shares and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares, until our Ordinary Shares no longer is considered a penny stock.

 

26
 

 

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on Diginex Limited, or publish unfavorable reports on Diginex Limited, then the market price and market trading volume of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares could be negatively affected.

 

Any trading market for Diginex Limited Ordinary Shares may be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about Diginex Limited. Diginex Limited does not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of Diginex Limited, the market price and market trading volume of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares could be negatively affected. In the event Diginex Limited is covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade Diginex Limited shares, or otherwise reports on Diginex Limited unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of Diginex Limited, the market price and market trading volume of Diginex Limited Ordinary Shares could be negatively affected.

 

Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.

 

The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of its board members be independent. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we may follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee and an audit committee. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements. The Nasdaq Listing Rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with most of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, we may, in the future, consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors. In particular, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A), a foreign private issuer may, in general, follow its home country corporate governance practices in lieu of some of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5600 Series (with certain exceptions not relevant here). Diginex Limited has elected to be exempt from the requirement in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price less than the lower of: (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement.

 

Although as a foreign private issuer we are exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, if we cannot continue to satisfy, the continued listing requirements and other rules of Nasdaq, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them.

 

In order to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with certain rules of Nasdaq, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Although we initially met the listing requirements and other applicable rules of Nasdaq, we may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If we are unable to satisfy the criteria of Nasdaq for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our Ordinary Shares and impair your ability to sell your shares.

 

If Nasdaq subsequently delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

 

  limited availability for market quotations for our Ordinary Shares;
  reduced liquidity with respect to our Ordinary Shares;
  a determination that our Ordinary Shares are “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares;
  limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

 

If we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

 

We qualify as a foreign private issuer as of the date of this Prospectus. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. domestic issuers and are not required to disclose in our periodic reports all of the information that U.S. domestic issuers are required to disclose. We may cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future, and consequently, we would be required to fully comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

 

27
 

 

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparisons of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

As an “emerging growth company” under applicable law, we will be subject to lessened disclosure requirements. Such reduced disclosure may make our Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors.

 

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, we will elect to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies. If some investors find our Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Ordinary Shares and our share price may be more volatile.

 

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an “emerging growth company.”

 

As a newly publicly traded company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, Nasdaq Stock Market, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies.

 

Compliance with these rules and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” or until five years following the completion of our initial public offering, whichever is earlier, we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a public company, we have been required to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We have incurred additional costs in obtaining director and officer liability insurance. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult or costly for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers as a public company. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

Our Ordinary Shares may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

 

Our Ordinary Shares may be “thinly-traded”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our Ordinary Shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and might be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. A broad or active public trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop or be sustained.

 

28
 

 

If we fail to meet applicable continued requirements, Nasdaq may delist our Ordinary Shares from trading, in which case the liquidity and market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline.

 

Although our Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq in the future. If we fail to comply with the applicable listing standards and Nasdaq delists our Ordinary Shares, we and our Shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for our Ordinary Shares;
  reduced liquidity for our Ordinary Shares;
  a determination that our Ordinary Shares are “penny stock”, which would require brokers trading in our Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares;
  a limited amount of news about us and analyst coverage of us; and
  a decreased ability for us to issue additional equity securities or obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or pre-empts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq, such securities are covered securities. Although the states are pre-empted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our securities.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operations and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares if the market price of our Ordinary Shares increases.

 

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions against Diginex Limited or its management named in this Prospectus based on foreign laws.

 

Diginex Limited is incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands. Diginex Limited conducts its operations outside the United States and a significant amount of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, a majority of Diginex Limited’s directors and executive officers named in this Prospectus reside outside the United States, and a significant amount of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against Diginex Limited or against them in the United States in the event you believe your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of Cayman Islands or other relevant jurisdiction may render you unable to enforce a judgment against Diginex Limited assets or the assets of its directors and officers.

 

Future issuance of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares could dilute the interests of existing shareholders.

 

Diginex Limited may issue additional Ordinary Shares in the future. The issuance of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of Diginex Limited’s shareholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of Ordinary Shares in the public market, in a situation in which Diginex Limited acquires a company, a business or an asset and the acquired company or the owner of the business or asset receives Ordinary Shares as consideration and the acquired company or the owner of the business or asset subsequently sells its Ordinary Shares, or by investors who acquired such Ordinary Shares in a private placement, could have an adverse effect on the market price of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

 

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to Diginex Limited Ordinary Shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred shares, which could rank senior to Diginex Limited Ordinary Shares for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

 

In the future, Diginex Limited may attempt to increase capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of Diginex Limited debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings Diginex Limited may make, would receive distributions of Diginex Limited available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our Ordinary Shares. Moreover, if Diginex Limited issues Preferred Shares, the holders of such preferred shares could be entitled to preferences over holders of Ordinary Shares in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because Diginex Limited’s decision to issue debt or Preferred Shares in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond Diginex Limited’s control, Diginex Limited cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares must bear the risk that any future offerings Diginex Limited conducts or borrowings Diginex Limited makes may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

The trading price of Diginex Limited’ Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

 

The trading price of Diginex Limited’ Ordinary Shares is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond Diginex’s control. This may happen due to broad market and industry factors, such as performance and fluctuation in the market prices or underperformance or deteriorating financial results of other listed companies based in Hong Kong. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility since their initial public offerings, including, in some cases, substantial price declines in the trading prices of their securities. The trading performances of other Hong Kong companies’ securities after their offerings may affect the attitudes of investors towards Hong Kong-based, U.S.-listed companies, which consequently may affect the trading performance of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares regardless of its actual operating performance. In addition, any negative news or perceptions about inadequate corporate governance practices or fraudulent accounting, corporate structure, or matters of other Hong Kong companies may also negatively affect the attitudes of investors towards Hong Kong companies in general, including Diginex Limited, regardless of whether it has conducted any inappropriate activities. Furthermore, securities markets may from time-to-time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to Diginex’s operating performance, which may materially and adversely affect the trading price of its Ordinary Shares.

 

In addition to the above factors, the price and trading volume of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile due to multiple factors, including the following:

 

  regulatory developments affecting Diginex or its industry;
  variations in Diginex’s revenue, profit, and cash flow;
  changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other related firms;
  actual or anticipated fluctuations in Diginex’s results of operations and changes or revisions of its expected results;
  changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
  detrimental negative publicity about Diginex, its services, its officers, directors, shareholders, other beneficial owners, its business partners, or its industry;
  announcements by Diginex or Diginex competitors of new service offerings, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures, capital raises, or capital commitments;
  litigation or regulatory proceedings involving Diginex, its officers, directors, or shareholders; and
  sales or perceived potential sales of additional Ordinary Shares.

 

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares will trade. In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If Diginex were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of its management’s attention and other resources from its business and operations and require it to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm Diginex’s results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm Diginex’s reputation and restrict its ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against Diginex, it may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our insiders beneficially own approximately 51.6% of our total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or approximately 42.0% assuming all of the IPO Warrants have been exercised, which may limit your ability to influence our actions.

 

Our insiders beneficially own approximately 51.6% of our total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or approximately 42.0% assuming all of the IPO Warrants have been exercised and have the power to exert considerable influence over our actions through their ability to effectively control matters requiring shareholder approval, including the determination to enter into a corporate transaction or to prevent a transaction, regardless of whether other shareholders believe that any such transaction is in their or our best interests. We cannot assure you that the interests of our insiders will coincide with the interests of other shareholders. As a result, the market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected. Additionally, our insiders may effectively control all of our corporate decisions so long as they continue to own a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Short sellers of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of its Ordinary Shares.

 

Short sellers of Diginex Limited stock may be manipulative and may attempt to drive down the market price of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares. Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed or intends to borrow from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities at a later date to return to the lender. A short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities, as the short seller expects to pay less in the covering purchase than it received in the sale. It is therefore in the short seller’s interest for the price of the stock to decline, and some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or characterizations regarding the relevant issuer, often involving deliberate misrepresentations of the issuer’s business prospects and similar matters calculated to create negative market momentum.

 

As a public entity in a highly digital world, Diginex Limited may be the subject of concerted efforts by profiteering short sellers to spread misinformation and misrepresentations in order to gain an illegal market advantage. In addition, the publication of intentional misinformation may also result in lawsuits, the uncertainty and expense of which could adversely impact Diginex’s business, financial condition, and reputation.

 

While utilizing all available tools to defend itself and its assets against these short seller efforts, there is limited regulatory control, making such efforts an ongoing concern for any public company. While Diginex moves forward in its business development strategies in good faith, there are no assurances that Diginex will not face these short sellers’ efforts or similar tactics by bad actors in the future, and the market price of its Ordinary Shares may decline as a result of their actions or the action of other short sellers.

Volatility in our Ordinary Shares price may subject us to securities litigation.

 

The market for our Ordinary Shares may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

 

The future sales of Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders, including the sales pursuant to this Prospectus, may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

As a company with relatively small public float we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large public float companies. The sales of a substantial number of registered shares could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale or issuance of additional Ordinary Shares. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares. Despite such a decline in the public trading price, certain Selling Shareholders may still experience a positive rate of return on the Ordinary Shares due to the lower price that they purchased the Ordinary Shares compared to other public investors and may be incentivized to sell their Ordinary Shares when others are not.

 

Our Ordinary Shares are, in addition to the Nasdaq Capital Market, listed to trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Open Market) and the Tradegate Exchange under the symbol “I0Q.” The cross-listing of our Ordinary Shares may adversely affect the liquidity and value of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Since February 20, 2025, our Ordinary Shares have, in addition to the Nasdaq Capital Market, been listed to trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Open Market) and the Tradegate Exchange under the symbol “I0Q.” Cross-listing of securities, also known as interlisting or multi-listing, refers to a company listing its shares on multiple stock exchanges, including its domestic exchange and one or more foreign exchanges. This means our Ordinary Shares can be traded on different exchanges, providing access to a wider range of investors and potentially increasing liquidity. Trading of our Ordinary Shares in these markets will take place in different currencies (U.S. dollars on the Nasdaq Capital Market and Euros on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Tradegate Exchange), and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different trading days and different public holidays in the United States and Germany). Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the currency of the primary listing exchange and the currency of the cross-listing exchange can impact the value of the securities to investors. Changes in exchange rates can affect the value of the investment, regardless of the Company’s underlying performance. The trading prices of our shares on these two markets may differ due to these and other factors, such as the timing of Diginex’s disclosures and press releases. Any decrease in the price of our Ordinary Shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Tradegate Exchange could cause a decrease in the trading price of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market

 

General Risks

 

If Diginex is unable to successfully identify, hire and retain skilled individuals, it will not be able to implement its growth strategy successfully.

 

Diginex’s growth strategy is based, in part, on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals including software engineers. To date, Diginex has been able to locate and engage such employees; however, because of competition from other firms, Diginex may face difficulties in recruiting and retaining professionals of a caliber consistent with its business strategy in the future. If Diginex is unable to successfully identify and retain qualified professionals, it could materially and adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Diginex’s employee retention plans may not be sufficient to retain key employees, including as it relates to equity compensation plans in place now and in the future.

 

Competition, including from new market entrants in the future, may cause Diginex’s revenue and earnings to decline.

 

With the increased importance placed on ESG reporting there could be new market entrants that directly compete with Diginex. Such competitors may have significant competitive advantages, including, the ability to leverage their sales efforts and marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of services, greater global presence, more established third-party relationships, greater brand recognition, greater financial strength, greater numbers of company and investor clients, larger research and development teams, larger marketing budgets and other advantages over Diginex.

 

While Diginex believes its products, services and pricing differentiates it from many such competitors, the business has relatively low barriers to entry and Diginex anticipates that such barriers to entry will become lower in the future. This could lead to fee compression or require Diginex to spend more to modify or adapt its offerings to attract and retain customers and remain competitive with the products and services offered by new competitors in the industry. Increased competition on the basis of any of these factors, including competition leading to fee reductions, could materially and negatively impact Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

31
 

 

Diginex’s business lines rely on vendors and third-party service providers.

 

Diginex’s operations could be interrupted or disrupted if Diginex’s vendors and third-party service providers, or even the vendors of such vendors and third-party service providers, experience operational or other systems difficulties, terminate their service, fail to comply with regulations, raise their prices or dispute key intellectual property rights sold or licensed to, or developed for, Diginex. Diginex may also suffer the consequences of such vendors and third-party providers’ mistakes. Diginex outsources some of its operational and a large component of its product development and platform maintenance activities and accordingly depends on key relationships with vendors. For example, Diginex relies on vendors and third parties for certain services, including systems development and maintenance and hosting servers. The failure or capacity restraints of vendors and third-party services, a cybersecurity breach involving any third-party service providers or the termination or change in terms or price of a vendors and third-party software license or service agreement on which Diginex relies could interrupt Diginex’s operations. Replacing vendors and third-party service providers or addressing other issues with Diginex’s vendors and third-party service providers could entail significant delay, expense and disruption of service. As a result, if these vendors and third-party service providers experience difficulties, are subject to cybersecurity breaches, terminate their services, dispute the terms intellectual property agreements, or raise their prices, and Diginex is unable to replace them with other vendors and service providers, particularly on a timely basis, Diginex’s operations could be interrupted. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period, Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Even if Diginex can replace vendors and third-party providers, it may be at a higher cost to Diginex, which could also adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Finally, notwithstanding Diginex’s efforts to implement and enforce strong policies and practices regarding third-party service providers, Diginex may not successfully detect and prevent fraud, incompetence or theft by its third-party service providers, which could adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Diginex could be the victim of employee misconduct.

 

In recent years, there have been a number of highly publicized cases involving fraud, conflicts of interest, or other misconduct by employees, and there is a risk that an employee of, or contractor to, Diginex or any of its affiliates could engage in misconduct that adversely affects Diginex’s business. It is not always possible to deter such misconduct, and the precautions Diginex takes to detect and prevent such misconduct may not be effective in all cases. Misconduct by an employee of, or contractor to, Diginex or any of its affiliates, or even unsubstantiated allegations of such misconduct, could result in direct financial harm to Diginex.

 

Diginex may not be able to effectively manage its growth.

 

As Diginex grows its business, its employee headcount and the scope and complexity of its business lines may increase dramatically. Consequently, if Diginex’s business grows at a rapid pace, it may experience difficulties maintaining this growth and building the appropriate processes and controls. Growth may increase the strain on resources, cause operating difficulties, including difficulties in sourcing, logistics, maintaining internal controls, marketing, designing products and services and meeting customer needs.

 

In addition, Diginex currently operates and is seeking to run many business lines and, while these business lines are anticipated to be complimentary, there can be no assurance that Diginex will be able to effectively deliver internal or external resources effectively to each business line as and when needed, particularly when multiple business lines are experiencing high levels of need at the same time.

 

If Diginex does not adapt to meet these challenges, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Operational risk may materially and adversely affect Diginex’s performance and results.

 

Operational risk is the risk of an adverse outcome resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems or external events. Diginex’s exposure to operational risk arises from routine processing errors, as well as extraordinary incidents, such as major systems failures or legal matters. Because Diginex’s business lines are reliant on both technology and human expertise and execution, Diginex is exposed to material operational risk arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of third-party service providers, counterparties or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes, design flaws and technology or system failures and malfunctions.

 

Operational errors or significant operational delays could have a materially negative impact on Diginex’s ability to conduct its business or service its clients, which could adversely affect results of operations due to potentially higher expenses and lower revenues, create liability for Diginex or its clients or negatively impact its reputation.

 

Diginex may not be effective in mitigating risk.

 

Diginex continues to develop risk management and oversight policies and procedures to provide a sound operational environment for the types of risk to which it is subject, including operational risk, credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. However, as with any risk management framework, there are inherent limitations to Diginex’s current and future risk management strategies, including risks that have not appropriately anticipated or identified and that certain policies may be insufficient. Accurate and timely enterprise-wide risk information is necessary to enhance management’s decision-making in times of crisis. If Diginex’s risk management framework proves ineffective or if Diginex’s enterprise-wide management information is incomplete or inaccurate, it could suffer unexpected losses or fail to generate the expected revenue, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

CORPORATE HISTORY

 

Diginex Limited was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands on January 26, 2024. Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited (“DSL”) was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong on January 8, 2018. DSL commenced operations in 2020.

 

The Restructuring

 

On July 15, 2024, Diginex Limited and Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited (“DSL”) completed a restructuring pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), whereby the then existing shareholders of DSL (the “Original Shareholders”) transferred all of their shares in DSL to Diginex Limited, in consideration for Diginex Limited’s issuance of substantially the same securities to such shareholders in exchange for the securities of DSL held by Original Shareholders (the “Exchange”). Prior to the Exchange there were 16,756 ordinary shares of DSL issued and outstanding, 3,151 preferred shares of DSL issued and outstanding and 10,172 warrants of DSL issued and outstanding. In the Exchange, each of the securities of DSL were exchanged for substantially the same securities of Diginex Limited at an exchange ratio of one (1) ordinary share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited, one (1) preferred share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Preferred Shares of Diginex Limited and one (1) warrant of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) warrants of Diginex Limited.

 

On May 28, 2023, DSL agreed to an $8,000,000 share subscription agreement with Rhino Ventures Limited and on September 28, 2023 executed a subscription agreement (the “RVL Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the RVL Subscription Agreement, DSL issued Rhino Ventures Limited 5,086 ordinary shares and 10,172 warrants in exchange for $8.0 million. The warrants will be exercisable for ordinary shares of DSL for a period of three years from the date they are issued and shall be exercisable at a per warrant price of US$2,512. Post the completion of the Restructuring and Share Subdivision (as defined below), the number of warrants of Diginex Limited issued to Rhino Ventures Limited was adjusted to 4,170,520 from 10,172 with an adjusted price per warrant of US$6.13. The warrants, if fully exercised, will result in the issuance of such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the warrants being exercised. This will be prorated for partial exercise of warrants. Rhino Ventures Limited paid the subscription price by the payment of $6.1 million in cash and the conversion of $1.9 million of debt due to Rhino Ventures Limited. The RVL Subscription Agreement also activated an anti-dilution clause in the Articles of Association of DSL which resulted in HBM IV, Inc. being issued 151 preferred shares of DSL for zero consideration. This increased HBM IV, Inc.’s holding to 3,151 preferred shares of DSL.

 

In connection with the Exchange, Diginex Limited and security holders of DSL consummated the following transactions (the “Ancillary Transactions”): (i) Diginex Limited issued $4.35 million new convertible loan notes to certain Original Shareholders in consideration for the cancellation of the then existing convertible loan notes issued by DSL and held by such Original Shareholders; (ii) Diginex Limited granted certain share options under the new share option plan that was adopted by Diginex Limited to the holders of the unexercised share options granted by DSL (the “Original Share Options”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Share Options held by such holders. At time of the Exchange there were 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting and (iii) Diginex Limited granted certain warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited to the holders of the then existing warrants to purchase ordinary shares of DSL (the “Original Warrants”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Warrants held by such holders. The convertible loan notes automatically converted into Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited on December 20, 2024 and whilst there is no automatic vesting of any unvested share options upon completion of the IPO the board of directors, at their discretion, do have the ability to accelerate vesting at any point. The board of directors approved and authorized the acceleration of the vesting of the unvested share options to January 23, 2026. The fair value of all unvested ESOP as of the date of this Prospectus is $2.2 million of which $1.0 million has been recognized in the financial statements at March 31, 2025.

 

Accordingly, upon consummation of the Exchange and the Ancillary Transactions (collectively the “Restructuring”), DSL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Diginex Limited, and the prior shareholders of DSL became shareholders of Diginex Limited. The remaining DSL security holders became security holders of Diginex Limited, in that they held Diginex Limited convertible loan notes, share options and warrants. Following, the closing of the Restructuring there are 6,869,961 Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited issued and outstanding, 1,291,910 preferred shares of Diginex Limited issued and outstanding, 4,170,520 warrants issued and outstanding, $4.35 million new convertible loan notes issued and outstanding and 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares capital of the Company at the time of vesting.

 

Following the Restructuring, on July 26, 2024, the Company completed a share subdivision (the “Share Subdivision”) such that, the authorized share capital of the Company was revised to be US$50,000 divided into 960,000,000 Ordinary Shares of US$0.00005 par value each and 40,000,000 preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”), par value US$0.00005 per share. Prior to the Share Subdivision there were 6,869,961 ordinary shares and 1,291,910 preferred shares issued and outstanding, and after the Share Subdivision there are 13,739,922 Ordinary Shares and 2,583,820 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.

 

During the Restructuring, a $1 million loan due from DSL to a related company, Diginex Holdings Limited, a company controlled by Rhino Ventures Limited, was converted into a $1 million convertible loan note of which Rhino Ventures Limited holds $517,535 of the principal amount of the convertible loan note and Working Capital Innovation Fund II L.P. holds $482,465 of the principal amount of the convertible loan note. The loan between DSL and Diginex Holdings Limited charged interest at 8% per annum and had a maturity date of December 31, 2024. The terms of the new convertible loan notes also charge interest at 8% per annum and had a maturity date of December 31, 2024. This $1 million convertible loan note forms part of the $4.35 million loan notes issued by Diginex Limited post the Restructuring.

 

On August 6, 2024 certain Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) holders exercised their options and converted their options into Ordinary Shares. 501,840 employee share options were converted into 1,003,680 Ordinary Shares whilst 315,700 employee share options lapsed without being exercised. In addition, 368,826 employee share options were issued on July 31, 2024 and on August 21, 2024 employee share options were issued equating to 0.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting. The remaining employee share options as of the date of this Prospectus are 17,345 vested but not exercised, 368,826 unvested employee share options and unvested employee share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting. Prior to the exercise of 501,840 options on August 6, 2024 there were 13,739,922 Ordinary Shares and 2,583,820 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding, and after such exercise of 501,840 options there are 14,743,602 Ordinary Shares and 2,583,820 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.

 

Since 17th November 2023, Rhino Ventures Limited (“RVL”) issued convertible notes (the “Rhino Notes”) to various investors (each a “Rhino Investor” and collectively the “Rhino Investors”). In exchange for a loan from a Rhino Investor, RVL issued the Rhino Investor a Rhino Note. The Rhino Notes are convertible into DSL ordinary shares, or successor securities, that were owned by RVL at a conversion price of between USD2.78 to USD2.99. The Rhino Notes were convertible into RVL’s shares of DSL ordinary shares, or successor securities, (1) at the option of the Rhino Investor or (2) automatically upon F-1 either being effective or having received 2 or below comments. On August 7, 2024, six of the Rhino Investors elected to convert their Rhino Notes and RVL transferred an aggregate amount of 2,992,180 Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited, the successor securities to the DSL ordinary shares, to the six Rhino Investors as follows: (i) Samantha Dolan received 327,180 Ordinary Shares, (ii) Christopher Lord received 418,200 Ordinary Shares, (iii) Dorota Menard received 400,980 Ordinary Shares, (iv) Gildo Plate received 294,380 Ordinary Shares and (v) Natalia Pelham received 1,049,600 Ordinary Shares and (vi) Benjamin Salter received 501,840 Ordinary Shares. On November 25, 2024, nine additional Rhino Investors elected to convert their Rhino Notes and RVL transferred an aggregate amount of 2,710,707 Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited, the successor securities to DSL ordinary shares, to the nine Rhino Investors as follows: (i) New Advent Sdn.Bhd received 100,860 Ordinary Shares, (ii) Ayle Ventures Limited received 167,280 Ordinary Shares, (iii) Duvin Limited received 935,407 Ordinary Shares, (iv) Carl Stephen George received 455,100 Ordinary Shares, (v) Ching Kuen Franklin Heng received 83,640 Ordinary Shares, (vi) Harley Street Medical Doctors Limited received 421,480 Ordinary shares, (vii) Chung-Mei Hsu received 67,240 Ordinary Shares, (viii) LVS Capital Partners Limited received 202,540 Ordinary Shares and (ix) David Nicholson received 277,160 Ordinary Shares. As of the date of this Prospectus, RVL has no outstanding Rhino Notes. Other than Natalia Pelham, who is our Chairman’s wife, the Rhino Investors are not related to Mr. Pelham nor are they affiliates to the Company.

Pursuant to a written convertible loan agreement, dated September 30, 2024 (the “RVL Loan”) RVL agreed to loan DSL, Diginex Limited’s wholly owned subsidiary, up to $3 million. Diginex Limited and RVL agreed that RVL would convert the $3 million RVL Loan into Ordinary Shares upon the pricing of the IPO at the IPO offering price and Diginex Limited granted RVL certain registration rights with respect to such converted shares. The RVL Loan is attached to Diginex Limited’s registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part as Exhibit 10.9. On January 6, 2025, DSL and RVL entered into a written agreement to modify and amend the RVL Loan to increase the amount RVL can loan DSL by $500,000 and on January 6, 2025, Diginex Limited and RVL entered into a written loan capitalization agreement whereby RVL agreed to convert a balance of the up to $3.5 million RVL loan to DSL into Ordinary Shares upon the pricing of the IPO at the IPO offering price and Diginex Limited granted RVL certain registration rights with respect to such converted shares (the “Modified RVL Loan”). The Modified RVL Loan is attached to Diginex Limited’s registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part as Exhibit 10.11. Pursuant to the Modified RVL Loan, RVL may loan DSL up to $3.5 million and RVL shall convert up to $3.5 million under the Modified RVL Loan into Ordinary Shares upon the pricing of the IPO at the IPO offering price. Based on the IPO offering price of $4.10 per share, on January 21, 2025, RVL converted $3.0 million of the Modified RVL Loan into 731,707 Ordinary Shares. In exchange for RVL’s conversion of a minimum of $3.0 million of the Modified RVL Loan into Ordinary Shares, Diginex Limited has agreed to provide RVL registration rights with respect to the Ordinary Shares that RVL receives upon conversion of the Modified RVL Loan. The conversion of the Modified RVL Loan is in addition to the conversion of the RVL convertible loan note with a principal balance of $517,535.

 

On December 20, 2024, the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 was declared effective by the SEC. This resulted in the conversion of all outstanding convertible loan notes into 2,347,134 Ordinary Shares and the outstanding Preferred Shares being converted into 2,583,820 Ordinary Shares on a one to one basis.

 

We completed our initial public offering on January 23, 2025. This resulted in the issuance of 2,250,000 Ordinary Shares for gross proceeds of $9,225,000. The underwriters in our initial public offering exercised the Over-Allotment option, which closed on January 27, 2025.This resulted in the issuance of 337,500 Ordinary Shares for gross proceeds of $1,383,750.

 

On January 23, 2025, the Company issued Rhino Ventures Limited the IPO Warrants identified below in recognition of the support Rhino Ventures Limited has provided to the Company.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

“ESG” is a recent evolution in corporate sustainability thinking, and it encapsulates a series of Environmental, Social, and Governance-related criteria to measure and evaluate both business impacts as well as risks and opportunities.

 

  - Environmental (E): This pillar focuses on a company’s impact on the natural environment as well as how it manages environmental risks and opportunities. It includes considerations like carbon emissions, energy use, waste management, water conservation, biodiversity loss, and compliance with environmental regulations.
     
  - Social (S): This dimension focuses on a company’s impact on society and how it treats different groups of people, including employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. It also addresses people-related risks and opportunities for the company. Key issues include workplace health & safety, diversity & inclusion, human rights and forced labor, data protection, and community engagement.
     
  - Governance (G): This component refers to the structures, processes and internal controls a company uses to guide its operations. Internally, it encompasses leadership structures, executive pay, ethical and corporate guidelines, and decision-making processes. Externally, it involves stakeholder engagement, compliance with regulations, and transparent disclosure practices.

 

In the modern business landscape, ESG considerations have emerged as paramount. Corporate governance, sustainability and the consideration of environmental and social concerns are not new to the business world. But as global ESG-related challenges like climate change, societal inequalities, and corporate scandals become more pronounced and understood, the importance of ESG factors has soared. Key stakeholders, including consumers, investors, and regulators, now increasingly demand transparency and accountability on these fronts. With the introduction of mandated sustainability and supply chain due diligence reporting requirements, regulators are seeking for a balanced approach, in Europe and elsewhere, to avoid overregulation in favor of an approach where sustainability supports the competitiveness of companies and industries.

 

There are differing needs for ESG disclosures:

 

  - Corporate disclosure and ESG-related regulations are on the rise globally, with regulators increasingly mandating standardized and transparent reporting of companies’ ESG performance to ensure stakeholders, particularly investors, have access to comprehensive, comparable, and reliable information. The European Union and others, such as the United Kingdom and Singapore are moving to mandatory ESG disclosure requirements from their previous voluntary stance. Whilst the European Union regulations have had a reduction in scope and a delay in implementing it will still result in mandatory reporting.
     
  - Investor interest in ESG is rising exponentially, reshaping the financial landscape and putting increased pressure on corporates to disclose ESG performance data. The ESG investment industry currently represents somewhere between $30 and $40 trillion in assets under management globally, and despite some recent performance wobbles and drawdowns, that number is expected to grow to between $35 and $50 trillion by 2030. In turn, the global sustainable lending and bond market size has multiplied in the last years and is expected to keep its pace.
     
  - Consumer demands are putting additional pressure on transparency and ESG performance. Growing concerns about environmental challenges as well as greater expectations around societal issues have brought sustainability into the mainstream. As a result, consumers increasingly prioritize environmental and social responsibility in their purchasing decisions with a growing demand for sustainable products and companies.

 

A key characteristic of the ESG movement is its reliance on data and measurable metrics. In contrast to previous corporate sustainability movements (e.g., Corporate Social Responsibility “CRS”) which often involved self-regulated practices and policies, ESG is grounded on quantifiable and comparable data based on specific metrics to validate outcomes and performance. As such, regulatory pressures, investor interest and changing consumer demands are putting significant pressure on corporates to produce, manage and disclosure ESG performance data, relating to both their own business as well as their supply chain.

As ESG becomes integral to business strategies, investor criteria, and regulatory compliance, there is a growing need for specialized tools to handle ESG data. As the volume and complexity of ESG data, disclosure and performance requirements increase, tools that can gather, analyze, and present this information in a cohesive manner that adheres to key requirements become indispensable. In an environment where ESG performance and disclosure can directly influence investor decisions, brand reputation, and regulatory compliance, having precise and comprehensive ESG software tools is crucial for businesses. Three prominent examples of ESG software include:

 

  - ESG reporting and data management software, which generally facilitates the systematic collection, organization, and presentation of a company’s ESG performance data. It provides a structured platform for businesses to document and report their sustainability and ethical initiatives, ensuring transparency and adherence to established standards. Such software is instrumental in meeting the increasing demands of stakeholders, regulators, and investors for comprehensive and verifiable ESG disclosures.
     
  - Carbon management software, which generally helps businesses to quantify, monitor, and manage their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. By providing insights into carbon-producing activities and their implications, this type of software typically aids in the formulation of strategies to reduce carbon footprints. Companies use these tools to align with environmental standards, regulatory requirements, and sustainability goals.
     
  - Supply chain sustainability software, which generally assists companies in overseeing the sustainability practices within their supply chain, providing tools to evaluate and ensure that suppliers and partners adhere to prescribed ethical, environmental, and social standards. By providing a holistic view of the supply chain’s sustainability performance, this type of software supports companies in maintaining integrity throughout their operations, mitigating risks and reinforcing commitment to responsible sourcing and production.

 

The market for ESG software is already experiencing rapid growth and is expected to keep its pace over the coming years.

 

  - The global market spends on ESG reporting software is expected to grow from over $1.3 billion in 2023 to over $5.6 billion in 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 26%. Industries with complex supply chains – particularly manufacturing, and wholesale and retail trade – are expected to have the highest growth rates between 2023 and 2029. 1
     
  - The carbon management software market grew from USD 13.08 billion in 2024 to USD 14.98 billion in 2025. It is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 13.93%, reaching USD 28.63 billion by 2030. 2
     
  - The global supply chain sustainability software market was valued at approximately USD 1.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 6.8 billion by 2028, reflecting a CAGR of 32% 3

 

As ESG becomes increasingly important, companies are not only looking for software to gain operational efficiencies and streamline their reporting, data management, and compliance processes. Corporates are also increasingly relying on consulting services to support them in their sustainability and ESG programs. ESG consulting covers a wide range of services, including support for ESG and sustainability corporate strategy, digital transformation, corporate reporting and disclosures, operational transformation, product stewardship and supply chain sustainability, among others. In par with the software market, investment in ESG and sustainability consulting reached USD 11.5 billion in 2022, expected to grow to USD 48 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 27%. 1

 

Going forward, technological innovations like AI are expected to keep driving market growth, making data collection and analysis more nuanced. Additionally, as ESG becomes a global standard, emerging markets will also substantially contribute to the growth, requiring businesses worldwide to adopt ESG reporting tools.

Software Subscriptions and License fees   1.3    0.4    0.4 
Advisory fees   0.3    0.2    0.2 
Customization fees   0.4    0.7    1.0 
    2.0    1.3    1.6 

 

Revenue increased by $0.7 million to $2.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2025 from $1.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by a $0.9 million increase in revenue from software subscriptions and licenses. This increase was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in revenue from Customization.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Group recognized revenues of $0.9 million by granting a non-exclusive right to use a white label version of diginexESG for distribution in Malaysia. This was a one-off fee but if revenues generated by the client exceed $0.9 million then Diginex will receive 50% of any future revenues earned above $0.9 million. Excluding the impact of this sale, the software subscription fees of diginexESG and diginexLUMEN remained broadly flat at $0.4 million for both the year ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended March 31, 2024. Revenues from software subscriptions and licenses for the year ended March 31, 2023 was also $0.4 million.

 

Advisory revenue is generated by providing services such as developing ESG strategies, conducting ESG materiality assessments and conducting training sessions on a range of ESG topics. There was a marginal increase in revenues to $0.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2025 when compared to $0.2 million generated in the year ended March 31, 2024 and $0.2 million generated in the year ended March 31, 2023.

 

Customization revenue relates to the development of tailored features for diginexESG or diginexLUMEN to meet specific client needs. Revenue fell by $0.3 million to $0.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2025 when compared to March 31, 2024. Diginex made a strategic decision to allocate more resources to the growth of diginexESG and diginexLUMEN which has been a factor behind the reduced revenue. The revenue for the year ended March 31, 2023 was $1.0 million.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

   For the year ended March 31, 
in USD millions  2025   2024   2023

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2025 to $10.3 million, compared to $9.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, and increased $0.4 million in the year ended March 31,2024 when compared to $8.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the year ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to higher professional fees incurred in connection with the Company’s IPO, as well as a share-based payment expense related to preferred shares issued under an anti-dilution clause, which was triggered upon the completion of the $8 million capital raise from Rhino Ventures Limited in May 2024. The increase was partially offset by the reductions in costs related to employee benefits, IT development and maintenance support whilst not impacting on the product roadmap, audit fees, and travel and entertainment.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2024 compared to the year ended March 31, 2023 was due, in part, to higher audit fees and professional fees, both related to the Company’s IPO, and an increase in travel and entertainment. These increases were partially offset by reduced spending on IT development, and advertising and marketing expenses (classified within Other).

 

Employee Benefits

 

Employee benefits decreased by $0.2 million to $4.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, compared to $5.0 million in both years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Employee benefits mainly comprise salaries and share-based payments expenses. The decrease in the year ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the decrease in share-based payments expenses of $0.5 million, partially offset by $0.3 million increase in salaries.

 

In the year ended March 31, 2025, salaries and other benefits, which also included costs associated with contractors, increased by $0.3 million to $4.0 million when compared to the expense of $3.7 million for the year ended March 31,2024. Post the IPO in January 2025, Diginex paid bonuses equivalent to half a month’s salary amounting to $0.2 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Group had 23 employees and 9 contractors, compared to 22 employees and 7 contractors as of March 31, 2024. The average headcount (including contractors) during the year ended March 31, 2025 was 30, the same for the year ended March 31, 2024.

 

In the year ended March 31, 2024, salaries and other benefits decreased by $0.7 million to $3.7 million, compared to $4.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily the result of a cost-saving initiative that led to a reduction in headcount. As of March 31, 2024 the Group had 22 employees and 7 contractors, compared to 26 employees and 10 contractors at March 31, 2023. The average headcount (including contractors) in 2024 was 30, a reduction from 39 in 2023.

 

The Company have had an employee share option plan in place since 2020 and during the year ended March 31,2025 replaced the then existing plan and adopted the Diginex Limited 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan which outlines the grant of share option award (the “Award”) to selected employees and/or consultants of the Group to subscribe for ordinary shares of the Company. The Board may grant ordinary shares under the Scheme not exceeding 5,400,000 ordinary shares. The Awards are fair valued at each grant date using an equity allocation model and are recognized as an expense over the applicable vesting period. The Group recognized share-based payments expenses of $0.9 million during the year ended March 31 2025, $1.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2024 and $0.6 million in year ended March 31, 2023.

 

IT Development and maintenance support

 

IT development and maintenance support costs decreased by $0.6 million to $1.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, following a $0.6 million decrease to $2.1 million for the year ended March 31,2024, compared to $2.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. These expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the engagement of third party IT engineers to drive the performance and feature enhancement of the diginexESG and diginexLUMEN platforms. The cost reduction, in part, has been a result of the decision not to focus on Customization projects but focus on feature and functionality enhancements to the software solutions. At March 31, 2025, the Group engaged 21 engineers, compared to 39 engineers at March 31, 2024 and 47 at March 31, 2023.

 

Included in IT development and maintenance support are research and development expenses of $0.8 million for the year ended March 31,2025, $1.3 million for year ended March 31, 2024, and $2.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Audit fees

 

Audit fees decreased by $0.2 million to $0.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, following a $0.6 million increase to $0.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the year ended March 31, 2023. The amounts for years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily related to the audits of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) in connection with the Company’s IPO. The audit fees incurred in 2025 were mainly attributable to the audit of the financial year ended March 31, 2025, while the fees incurred during the year ended March 31, 2024 covered the audits of the financial years ended March 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024 as Diginex prepared for IPO

 

Professional fees

 

Professional fees increased by $1.6 million to $2.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, following a $0.2 million increase to $0.5 million during the year ended March 31, 2024, when compared to $0.3 million expense for the year ended March 31, 2023. The increases in costs across the years were primarily driven by professional service fees related to the engagement of necessary external experts to assist the Company to complete a successful IPO. Upon the successful closing of the IPO, $1.4 million IPO related costs were capitalized against the share premium account with $1.7 million recorded as an expense in the statement of profit or loss during the year ended March 31, 2025.

 

Travel and entertainment

 

Travel and entertainment decreased by $0.1 million to $0.4 million for the year ended March 31 2025, following a $0.5 million increase to $0.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the spend during the year ended March 31, 2023. During the year end March 31, 2024, travel expenses increased as the Group actively engaged in investor meetings and pursued new business development opportunities. This activity continued during the year ended March 31, 2025.

 

Share-based payments (non-employee related)

 

The Group incurred a share-based payment expense of $0.4 million during the year ended March 31, 2025, compared to no such expense in the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. In May 2024, the Group completed an $8.0 million capital raise which triggered an anti-dilution clause in the Articles of Association and resulted in 151 preferred shares being issued to a preferred share holder. This award was fair valued at $0.4 million.

 

Other

 

Other expenses remained flat at $0.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, following a $0.4 million decrease in the year ended March 31 2024, compared to $0.9 million in year ended March 31, 2023. Other expenses include costs such as expenses related to investor relations activities, office rent, recruitment fees, insurance premiums, marketing and general office expenses. The increase in the year ended March 31, 2025 was mainly driven by investor relations fees following the completion of the IPO.

 

The expenses in the year ended March 31, 2023 include marketing related fees of $0.5 million which were associated to a digital marketing campaign that was not repeated in either of the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Group recognized total other gains of $3.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, a reduction of $0.3 million when compared to other gains of $3.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, while the Group incurred other losses of $1.8 million recognized in the year ended March 31,2023.

 

The gains and losses incurred in all the years were, primarily, due to the fair value measurement of preferred shares and convertible loan notes.

 

Net Fair Value gains/(losses) of Financial Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss

 

In July 2021, the Group raised $6.0 million capital via the issuance of redeemable preferred shares. At the end of each reporting period, the preferred shares were fair valued using an equity allocation model, which resulted in a gain of $4.1 million in year ended March 31, 2025, a gain of $4.1 million in the year ended March 2024 and a loss of $1.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2023. No preferred shares were outstanding as of March 31, 2025 following the conversion of preferred shares to ordinary shares on December 20, 2024.

 

The Group raised $3.25 million via the issuance of 8% convertible loan notes during the year ended March 31, 2023 and a further $0.1 million during the year ended March 31, 2024. During the year ended March 31, 2025 a $1.0 million loan with a related company was converted into a convertible loan note bearing 8% interest. This resulted in a total issuance of $4.35 million 8% convertible loan notes. At the end of each reporting period, the convertible loan notes were fair valued using a binomial option pricing model, which resulted in a loss of $0.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, a loss of $0.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2024 and minimal loss of $19,000 in the year ended March 31, 2023. No convertible loan notes were outstanding as of March 31, 2025 following the conversion of convertible loan notes to ordinary shares on December 20, 2024.

Finance costs decreased by $0.2 million to $0.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, following an increase of $0.4 million to $0.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, when compared to $0.2 million expense in year ended March 31 2023.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2025, $0.2 million of the finance cost related to the 8% convertible loan notes which compared to $0.3 million during the year ended March 31, 2024 and $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. The loan from the immediate holding company which bore an 8% coupon resulted in a finance cost of $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, $0.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 and $0.1m for the year ended March 31, 2023. There was also a finance charge on a loan from a related company of $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, with a lessor amount charged for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2023. The related company loan charged interest at 8%.

 

The convertible loan notes, loan from immediate holding company (aside from a $0.5 million cash repayment) and related party loan were all converted into ordinary shares during the year ended March 31, 2025 with no outstanding balances at March 31, 2025.

 

Income Tax

 

The operating activities of the Group in the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 did not generate a taxable charge due to operating losses incurred. However, Diginex USA did generate a taxable profit in 2022 with the resulting tax charge being recognized as an under provision in the year ended March 31, 2024.

 

Although the Group had operations in United Kingdom and USA during the reporting periods, the majority of its operations have been in Hong Kong. The Group’s Hong Kong operation is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax under a two-tiered profit tax rates regime, i.e. the first HK$2 million (c.$250,000) of profits of the qualifying group entity will be taxed at 8.25%, and profits above HK$2 million (c.$250,000) will be taxed at 16.5%.

 

Inflation

 

Since commencing operations, the Group has not been materially impacted by changes in inflation.

 

42
 

 

Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations on Results

 

The Group’s main operating currencies have historically been the US Dollar and Hong Kong Dollar. As the Hong Kong Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar, the Group has not been overly exposed to material foreign currency fluctuations in prior years. As the business grows, the Group will be exposed to more foreign currencies and their fluctuations, such as the British Pound and Euro.

 

Significant Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

 

The Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, which requires it to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions. The Company continually evaluates these judgements, estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, its own historical experience, and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from the Company’s expectations as a result of changes in its estimates. Some of the Company’s accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application and require it to make significant accounting estimates.

 

The following descriptions of significant accounting policies, judgments, and estimates should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this Prospectus . When reviewing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, you should consider (i) its selection of significant accounting policies, (ii) the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies, and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

 

Deemed reverse acquisition

 

With respect to the Transaction, management determined that DSL is the operating company while the Company is considered as a shell company and the Company accounted for the Transaction as a deemed reverse acquisition, using the acquisition method of accounting, where in substance an operating company is acquired by a shell company where the shareholders of the operating company obtain control of the shell company. The Group identified DSL (the legal acquiree) as the accounting acquirer, and the Company (the legal acquirer) as the accounting acquiree. This judgment influences how the Transaction is presented in the consolidated financial statements, including (i) the recognition of DSL’s assets and liabilities at their historical carrying amounts; (ii) the presentation of comparative financial information as a continuation of DSL; and (iii) the legal capital structure being that of the legal parent, with share capital adjusted retrospectively as a recapitalization for the equivalent number of shares received and on a pro rata basis, together with the impact of the Share Subdivision for prior reporting periods.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Group recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

 

Software subscription fees and certain advisory service income are recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

 

the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;
the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or
the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

 

43
 

 

Customization revenues and certain advisory service income recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct service.

 

For software license fees, the nature of the Group’s promise in granting a license is a promise to provide a right to use the Group’s intellectual property with all of the following criteria met:

 

the contract does not require that the Group will undertake activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which the customer has rights;
the rights granted by the license directly do not expose the customer to any positive or negative effects of the Group’s activities; and
those activities result in the transfer of a good or a service to the customer as those activities occur.

 

Accordingly, the Group considers the grant of license as providing the customers the right to use the Group’s intellectual property and the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time at which the license is granted.

 

Share-based payments

 

The Group has had an employee share option plan in place since 2020 and during the year ended March 31, 2025 replaced the then existing plan and adopted the Diginex Limited 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan which outlines the grant of share option awards to selected employees and/or consultants of the Group to subscribe to the ordinary shares of the Company. The awards are measured at the fair value at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date without taking into consideration all non-market vesting conditions is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of share option awards that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve).

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of share option awards expected to vest based on assessment of all relevant non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in the statement of profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share option reserve. For share options awards that vest immediately at the date of grant, the fair value of the share option awards granted is expensed immediately to the statement of profit or loss.

 

Private Warrants and IPO Warrants

 

In May 2024 and January 2025, the Group issued Private Warrants and IPO Warrants to Rhino Ventures respectively. In the process of classifying Private Warrants and IPO Warrants, management considered the detailed criteria and related guidance for the classification of financial instruments as set out in IAS 32 and has made various judgments on whether the Private Warrants and IPO Warrants on initial recognition are classified as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument

 

Private Warrants and IPO Warrants are classified as an equity instrument on the basis that the instruments do not include contractual obligation to deliver cash to the warrant holder, and the instruments meet the fixed-for-fixed condition by preserving the relative economic interests of the warrant holder and the Company’s shareholders.

 

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

 

Certain of the Group’s financial liabilities, including preferred shares, and convertible loan notes, are designated as at fair value through profit or loss with both the debt component and derivative components recognized at fair value and are measured at fair value, at the date of issue and at the end of each reporting period, with fair value being determined based on significant unobservable inputs using valuation techniques. Judgement and estimation are required in establishing the relevant valuation techniques and the relevant inputs thereof. Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could result in material adjustments to the fair value of these instruments. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss as fair value gain or loss.

 

Discount rate used for initial measurement of lease liability

 

In connection with the long term lease in Monaco, the Group, as a lessee, measures the lease liability at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use assets in similar economic environment.

Recently Released Accounting Standards

 

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and consolidated results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

 

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Group’s ability to fund its operations is based on its ability to generate revenue, its ability to attract investors and its ability to borrow funds on reasonable economic terms. During the year ended March 31, 2025 the Group completed an IPO and generated gross proceeds of $10.6 million. The Group also received funding, via a loan from the immediate holding company, Rhino Ventures which reached a balance of $3.5 million of which $0.5 million was repaid post the IPO and $3.0 million converted into ordinary shares upon IPO at the listing price of $4.10. The Group also completed a capital raise and issued ordinary shares to the value of $8.0 million in May 2024. This capital raise was funded by the capitalization of advanced funding and loans from Rhino Ventures Limited that was received by Diginex over the years ended March 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Group also raised capital via the issuance of a convertible loan note bearing an 8% coupon for $0.1 million that converted into Ordinary Shares on December 20, 2024. The total amount of convertible loan notes converted into Ordinary Shares on December 20, 2024 amounted to $4.35 million.

 

Management is of the opinion that the capital of the Group is sufficient to meet present requirements. The Group has four out of six tranches of IPO warrants that reach maturity between July 2025 and April 2026. Should all four tranches be fully exercised the Group will receive proceeds upon exercise of $60 million.

 

Diginex Limited is not aware of any legal or economic restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries to transfer funds to Diginex Limited in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Diginex Limited is also not aware of any material restrictions that impact the transfer of funds between subsidiaries to enable the operating of the business in various jurisdictions.

 

At March 31, 2025, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million. The majority was held in USD. The Group held all balances in bank accounts and had not hedged any foreign exchange exposures given the dominant use of USD and Hong Kong dollars. However, given the increased use of British Pounds for salaries, the Group is looking to implement a Treasury Policy to manage foreign exchange requirements going forward. The group also held $0.4 million of cash in an escrow account at March 31, 2025. The funds are held in relation to a MOU signed on March 17, 2025 with Nomas Global Investments -L.L.C-S.P.C and Al Noor Legal Consultants FZE to provide strategic support in the United Arab Emirates, including a possible capital raise in UAE and dual listing on the Abu Dhabi Exchange (ADX).

 

As of March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million, $0.1 million and $1.2 million respectively, as detailed below:

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company closed its IPO and the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option, resulting in the sale of 2,587,500 ordinary shares of the Company. Gross proceeds from the IPO amounted to $10.6 million, offset by $2.9 million associated transaction costs. The Group also received $3.4 million in 8% interest-bearing loans and $0.7 million in non-interest-bearing advances both from the immediate holding company, while repaying $0.5 million in loans to the immediate holding company following the conversion of $3.0 million of the outstanding loan balance into ordinary shares upon IPO. This conversion upon IPO was in addition to a conversion of amounts due to the immediate holding company of $8 million in May 2024. Additionally, following the signing of a binding memorandum of understanding with Nomas Global Investments -L.L.C – S.P.C to provide strategic support in the United Arab Emirates, the Group paid $0.4 million deferred fund raising, fixed non-refundable fees, with $0.4 million held under escrow and recognized as a restricted bank balance to cover future fees based on the accomplishment of milestones.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Group received $5.3 million as an advance payment towards an $8.0 million capital raise from Rhino Ventures Limited, which was completed in May 2024. The capital raise included the conversion of $1.9 million of debt into equity. The Group also issued a fixed-rate 8% convertible loan note, raising $0.1 million. The notes had a maturity of two years from the effective date and would convert at the lower of a 20% discount to the listing share price or $60 million. The convertible loan notes were all converted into ordinary shares on December 20, 2024. Additionally, Rhino Ventures Limited advanced $0.6 million in shareholder loans during the year, while the Group repaid $1.2 million to Rhino Ventures Limited, resulting in a net outflow of $0.6 million.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Group raised $3.3 million through the issuance of an 8% convertible loan note. Rhino Ventures Limited advanced $2.3 million in shareholder loans while the Group repaid $0.6 million, resulting in a net inflow of $1.7 million. The Group also borrowed $1.0 million from a related company, Diginex (Holdings) Limited, at a fixed interest rate of 8%. While Diginex Holdings Limited is owned by Rhino Ventures Limited, it is not a subsidiary of the Group.

 

Capital Expenditure

 

As of March 31, 2025 Diginex has not capitalized any expenditure. Capital expenditure would typically relate to the purchase of computing equipment such as laptops which are expensed as they fall under our capitalization policy. Diginex has not recognized any research and development expenditure as an internally generated intangible asset.

Other outstanding payables relate primarily to accounts payable and accruals that have accumulated in the ordinary course of business.

 

When customers subscribe for a diginexESG or diginexLUMEN they typically pay for an annual subscription in advance with revenues recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the subscription. For advisory and customizations projects, the clients will typically pay during the course of the project with revenue being recognized upon completion. As such, the Group accounts for deferred revenues which relate to the balances of invoices raised that have yet to be recognized as revenue. At March 31, 2025 the Group accounted for $0.5 million of deferred revenue and $0.3 million at March 31, 2024.

Overview

 

Diginex Limited is a Cayman Islands exempted company with subsidiaries located in Hong Kong, United Kingdom and United States of America. Diginex Limited is the sole owner of Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“DSL”) and DSL is the sole owner of (i) Diginex Services Limited, a corporation formed in the United Kingdom and (ii) Diginex USA LLC, a limited liability company formed in the State of Delaware. Prior to the Restructuring, DSL was the parent entity and remains the main operating subsidiary. DSL is a Hong Kong domiciled technology company that builds end to end SaaS solutions for the future of ESG reporting and supply chain due diligence. The demands for companies to report on ESG components of their business and perform extensive due diligence on their supply chain is increasing at pace. DSL has built products to address those demands. As well as offering SaaS solution, DSL also offers advisory services to support overall ESG strategies. Such advisory services can range from advising on credible reporting solutions to training plus providing a managed service to, for example, help collate and consolidate data throughout a supply chain.

 

History

 

On May 15, 2020, Diginex Limited (“Diginex HK”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong, together with Diginex Solutions Limited, sold the legal entities of Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited (referred to herein as “DSL”) and Diginex USA LLC, together with the trademarks associated with the “Diginex” name, to a related party, Rhino Ventures Limited, an entity controlled, via 100% shareholding, by Miles Pelham, the founder and former chairman of Diginex HK and founder of DSL and the Company (the “DSL 2020 Acquisition Agreement”). A copy of the DSL 2020 Acquisition Agreement is attached to Diginex Limited’s registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part as Exhibit 10.1. The consideration of $6.0 million, that was paid by Rhino Ventures Limited (“RVL”) for Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited and Diginex USA LLC, was netted against the shareholder loan of $10.5 million between Diginex HK and Pelham Limited, another entity controlled by Miles Pelham. In addition, Diginex HK agreed to fund the business of DSL for six months following the sale at a 25% discount to the projected costs. Such funding amounted to $1.0 million. Pelham Limited remained a shareholder of Diginex HK after this transaction but is no longer a shareholder of Diginex HK.

 

Following the sale of DSL and Diginex USA, Diginex HK underwent a restructuring in September 2020, which resulted in a share for share exchange with its newly incorporated parent company, Eqonex Limited. Eqonex Limited and its subsidiaries were active in the cryptocurrency industry but DSL and Diginex USA had no involvement in cryptocurrency. DSL focused on ESG reporting and Diginex USA employed individuals to support the DSL operations. Also in September 2020, Eqonex Limited completed a transaction with a special purpose acquisition company, 8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp and started to list on Nasdaq under the ticker code ‘EQOS’ on 1 October 2022. Eqonex Limited subsequently filed for Judicial Management in Singapore in November 2022 and Diginex HK was placed into liquidation at the same time. Judicial Management is a method of debt restructuring where an independent judicial manager is appointed to manage the affairs of a company under financial distress. The Judicial Management and liquidation process is still ongoing at the time of filing this document and the stock has been delisted from Nasdaq, Neither DSL, Rhino Ventures or Miles Pelham have any affiliated interest with either business nor do they have any assets at risk as a result of the Judicial Management and liquidation processes.

 

With the exception of Paul Ewing, the Company CFO, who still sits on the board of certain subsidiaries of Eqonex Limited, no other officer or director of the Company has an existing relationship with Eqonex Limited and its subsidiaries including Diginex HK and Diginex Solutions Limited.

 

The acquisition of DSL included a 100% owned subsidiary, Diginex USA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. In September 2021, DSL acquired, Diginex Services Limited, a United Kingdom corporation, for zero consideration from RVL. Diginex Services Limited is a 100% owned subsidiary of DSL.

 

Diginex Limited is a Cayman Islands exempted company, incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on January 26, 2024. On July 15, 2024, Diginex Limited and Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited (“DSL”) completed a restructuring pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), whereby the then existing shareholders of DSL (the “Original Shareholders”) transferred all of their shares in DSL to Diginex Limited, in consideration for Diginex Limited’s issuance of substantially the same securities to such shareholders in exchange for the securities of DSL held by Original Shareholders (the “Exchange”). Prior to the Exchange there were 16,756 ordinary shares of DSL issued and outstanding, 3,151 preferred shares of DSL issued and outstanding and 10,172 warrants of DSL issued and outstanding. In the Exchange, each of the securities of DSL were exchanged for substantially the same securities of Diginex Limited at an exchange ratio of one (1) ordinary share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited, one (1) preferred share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Preferred Shares of Diginex Limited and one (1) warrant of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) warrants of Diginex Limited.

 

On May 28, 2023, DSL agreed to an $8,000,000 share subscription agreement with Rhino Ventures Limited and on September 28, 2023 executed a subscription agreement (the “RVL Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the RVL Subscription Agreement, DSL issued Rhino Ventures Limited 5,086 ordinary shares and 10,172 warrants in exchange for $8.0 million. The warrants will be exercisable for ordinary shares of DSL for a period of three years from the date they are issued and shall be exercisable at a per warrant price of US$2,512. Post the completion of the Restructuring and Share Subdivision (as defined below), the number of warrants of Diginex Limited issued to Rhino Ventures Limited was adjusted to 4,170,520 from 10,172 with an adjusted price per warrant of US$6.13. The warrants, if fully exercised, will result in the issuance of such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the warrants being exercised. This will be prorated for partial exercise of warrants. Rhino Ventures Limited paid the subscription price by the payment of $6.1 million in cash and the conversion of $1.9 million of debt due to Rhino Ventures Limited. The RVL Subscription Agreement also activated an anti-dilution clause in the Articles of Association of DSL which resulted in HBM IV, Inc. being issued 151 preferred shares of DSL for zero consideration. This increased HBM IV, Inc.’s holding to 3,151 preferred shares of DSL.

In connection with the Exchange, Diginex Limited and security holders of DSL consummated the following transactions (the “Ancillary Transactions”): (i) Diginex Limited issued $4.35 million new convertible loan notes to certain Original Shareholders in consideration for the cancellation of the then existing convertible loan notes issued by DSL and held by such Original Shareholders; (ii) Diginex Limited granted certain share options under the new share option plan that was adopted by Diginex Limited to the holders of the unexercised share options granted by DSL (the “Original Share Options”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Share Options held by such holders. At time of the Exchange there were 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting and (iii) Diginex Limited granted certain warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited to the holders of the then existing warrants to purchase ordinary shares of DSL (the “Original Warrants”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Warrants held by such holders. The convertible loan notes automatically converted into Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited on December 20, 2024 and whilst there is no automatic vesting of any unvested share options upon completion of the IPO the board of directors do have the ability to accelerate vesting at any point. The board of directors approved and authorized the acceleration of the vesting of the unvested share options to January 23, 2026. The fair value of all unvested ESOP as of the date of this Prospectus is $2.2 million of which $1.0 million has been recognized in the financial statements at March 31, 2025.

 

Accordingly, upon consummation of the Exchange and the Ancillary Transactions (collectively the “Restructuring”), DSL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Diginex Limited, and the prior shareholders of DSL became shareholders of Diginex Limited. The remaining DSL security holders became security holders of Diginex Limited, in that they held Diginex Limited convertible loan notes, share options and warrants. Following, the closing of the Restructuring there are 6,869,961 Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited issued and outstanding, 1,291,910 preferred shares of Diginex Limited issued and outstanding, 4,170,520 warrants issued and outstanding, $4.35 million new convertible loan notes issued and outstanding and 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting.

Industry Background

 

“ESG” is a recent evolution in corporate sustainability thinking, and it encapsulates a series of Environmental, Social, and Governance-related criteria to measure and evaluate both business impacts as well as risks and opportunities.

 

Environmental (E): This pillar focuses on a company’s impact on the natural environment as well as how it manages environmental risks and opportunities. It includes considerations like carbon emissions, energy use, waste management, water conservation, biodiversity loss, and compliance with environmental regulations.

 

Social (S): This dimension focuses on a company’s impact on society and how it treats different groups of people, including employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. It also addresses people-related risks and opportunities for the company. Key issues include workplace health & safety, diversity & inclusion, human rights and forced labor, data protection, and community engagement.

 

Governance (G): This component refers to the structures, processes and internal controls a company uses to guide its operations. Internally, it encompasses leadership structures, executive pay, ethical and corporate guidelines, and decision-making processes. Externally, it involves stakeholder engagement, compliance with regulations, and transparent disclosure practices.

 

In the modern business landscape, ESG considerations have emerged as paramount. Corporate governance, sustainability, and the consideration of environmental and social concerns are not new to the business world. But as global ESG-related challenges like climate change, societal inequalities, and corporate scandals become more pronounced and understood, the importance of ESG factors has soared. Key stakeholders, including regulators, investors, and customers, now increasingly demand transparency and accountability on these fronts.

 

On the regulatory side, corporate disclosure and ESG-related disclosure mandates are on the rise globally, with regulators increasingly mandating standardized and transparent reporting of companies’ ESG performance to ensure stakeholders, particularly investors, have access to comprehensive, comparable, and reliable information. The European Union and the US currently lead in regulatory developments, starting with a focus on financial market participants, large corporations and climate-related disclosures. As demand for ESG transparency grows, regulators worldwide are tightening policies to standardize disclosures and practices. Governments and financial bodies are developing frameworks to ensure consistent, reliable, and comparable ESG data, empowering investors and holding companies accountable for their environmental and social impacts. The regulatory landscape is dynamic, with varying approaches across regions driven by local market needs, creating a complex environment where companies must navigate stricter rules while maintaining their competitive edge in an increasingly volatile market. Some of the most relevant regulatory developments around the world are:

 

EU CSRD, the EU Taxonomy and EU CSDDD: The European Union has introduced significant updates to its sustainability frameworks, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), EU Taxonomy, and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), through the Omnibus Simplification Package proposed on February 26, 2025. The CSRD, effective for large companies from 2024 (reports due in 2025), now focuses on reporting obligations on firms with over 1,000 employees to reduce administrative burdens, with simplified European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The EU Taxonomy’s reporting is proposed to be voluntary for smaller firms, with only large companies (over 1,000 employees and €450 million turnover) required to disclose alignment. The CSDDD, effective July 25, 2024, mandates human rights and environmental due diligence for large companies, but its scope has been narrowed to direct suppliers, with implementation delayed to 2028–2029 and civil liability provisions softened. These changes aim to streamline compliance while maintaining EU Green Deal ambitions, though concerns remain about reduced transparency and weakened accountability.

 

EU SFDR: The EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), effective since March 2021, is undergoing a significant review to address challenges like legal ambiguity, data availability, and greenwashing risks. In December 2024, the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance proposed a new categorization scheme with three product labels: “Sustainable,” “Transition,” and “ESG Collection,” each with minimum criteria to enhance clarity and investor trust. The European Commission launched a Call for Evidence in May 2025, with a deadline of May 30, 2025, to gather feedback on refining SFDR, aiming for alignment with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other regulations. A revised SFDR proposal is expected in Q4 2025, focusing on simplifying requirements, improving transparency, and potentially introducing a formal labeling system.

 

Stock Exchange ESG disclosure mandates: As of January 2025, the global landscape of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure requirements has continued to evolve significantly. Currently, 38 stock exchanges mandate ESG disclosure as a listing requirement, while 72 others provide guidance on ESG reporting, highlighting a clear trend towards increasing mandatory ESG reporting across financial markets. Countries with stock exchanges requiring ESG disclosure now include Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Egypt, France, Greece, India (with ongoing discussions around ESG disclosure regulations), Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Morocco, Namibia, Netherlands, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland (with amendments to climate disclosure laws under consultation), Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates (with emissions disclosure mandates taking effect in May 2025), the United Kingdom, the United States (where the SEC’s climate-related disclosure rule is delayed due to legal challenges), Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. Notably, Hong Kong will require all Main Board issuers to disclose Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions starting January 1, 2025, with Scope 3 disclosures mandatory for large-cap issuers beginning in 2026. This expanding global shift towards mandatory ESG disclosure reflects the increasing importance of sustainability considerations in investment decision-making and corporate governance practices.

ISSB: In November 2021, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation established the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) to become the global standard-setter for sustainability disclosures in financial markets. The ISSB consolidates the work of various initiatives into a single entity and has received strong endorsements from the G7, G20, and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), with regulatory bodies worldwide adopting and aligning their regulations with the ISSB’s framework. In 2023, the ISSB issued its inaugural global sustainability standards, aiming to unify sustainability reporting and improve transparency, consistency, and accountability across global markets. Countries and regions around the world are adopting the ISSB standards, though the integration process varies. Different jurisdictions are adopting the standards at different rates, influenced by factors such as market size, economic conditions, and existing reporting frameworks. The implementation timelines also differ based on the unique needs of each region.

 

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is leading the way in adopting ISSB standards. Countries such as Australia, China, Japan, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan are either aligning their regulations with the ISSB standards or have already incorporated them. For example, Australia is aligning with the ISSB through the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), with mandatory climate-related reporting set to begin in 2025. In Hong Kong, Main Board issuers will be required to disclose climate-related impacts in line with ISSB standards starting in 2025. Japan has adopted the ISSB guidelines as part of its sustainability reporting framework, and China is gradually integrating these standards, with certain sectors expected to align soon. Singapore plans to introduce mandatory climate-related reporting by 2025, starting with listed companies, which will report on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with Scope 3 reporting phased in. Large non-listed companies will follow in 2027. In Europe, the European Union (EU) is aligning its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) with ISSB standards. Countries such as France and Germany have already enacted regulations that reflect these global guidelines. The United Kingdom has also aligned its reporting framework with ISSB standards post-Brexit, ensuring UK-listed companies meet global sustainability reporting requirements. The United States is still in the process of aligning its regulations with the ISSB standards, as the SEC’s rules have faced legal challenges and delays, meaning the adoption timeline has been slower compared to other jurisdictions that have embraced ISSB standards. In Africa, countries like South Africa and Kenya are adopting the ISSB standards to enhance corporate accountability. South Africa has already aligned its reporting regulations with ISSB, positioning itself as a leader in ESG disclosure on the continent.

 

The global adoption of ISSB standards is expected to improve the reliability and comparability of ESG disclosures, making it easier for investors and other stakeholders to evaluate companies’ sustainability practices. As more regions adopt these standards, the ISSB will play a key role in standardizing global corporate reporting and enabling better investment decisions aligned with sustainable development goals.

 

SEC Climate Disclosure Rules: As of May 2025, SEC climate disclosure rules are effectively on hold. Initially adopted in March 2024, these rules mandated that public companies disclose climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions. However, they faced immediate legal challenges and were temporarily stayed by federal courts. In March 2025, the SEC voted to cease defending the rules in court, citing concerns over their cost and intrusiveness. Subsequently, in April 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ordered the litigation to be held in abeyance and directed the SEC to report by July 23, 2025, on whether it intends to review or reconsider the rules. While the rules have not been formally rescinded, their future remains uncertain, and enforcement is currently paused.

 

UFLPA: The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), directs the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force to develop a strategy for supporting enforcement of the prohibition on the importation of goods into the United States manufactured wholly or in part with forced labor in the People’s Republic of China, especially from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, or Xinjiang. The UFLPA has been effective since June 2022, and requires importers to review their supply chains, instate reliable measures to ensure compliance with the UFLPA, and be prepared to respond to inquiries from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with sufficient evidence to demonstrate that their goods were not mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part by forced labor. This can include documentation showing a due diligence system or process, evidence of tracing the supply chain from raw materials to the imported good, and other credentials demonstrating supply chain management measures.

As ESG becomes integral to business strategies, investor criteria, and regulatory compliance, there is a growing need for specialized tools to handle ESG data. As the volume and complexity of ESG data, disclosure and performance requirements increase, tools that can gather, analyze, and present this information in a cohesive manner that adheres to key requirements become indispensable. In an environment where ESG performance and disclosure can directly influence investor decisions, brand reputation, and regulatory compliance, having precise and comprehensive ESG software tools is crucial for businesses. Three prominent examples of ESG software include:

 

● ESG reporting & data management software, which generally facilitates the systematic collection, organization, and presentation of a company’s ESG performance data. It provides a structured platform for businesses to document and report their sustainability and ethical initiatives, ensuring transparency and adherence to established standards. Such software is instrumental in meeting the increasing demands of stakeholders, regulators, and investors for comprehensive and verifiable ESG disclosures.

 

● Carbon management software, which generally helps businesses to quantify, monitor, and manage their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. By providing insights into carbon-producing activities and their implications, this type of software typically aids in the formulation of strategies to reduce carbon footprints. Companies use these tools to align with environmental standards, regulatory requirements, and sustainability goals.

 

● Supply chain sustainability software, which generally assists companies in overseeing the sustainability practices within their supply chain, providing tools to evaluate and ensure that suppliers and partners adhere to prescribed ethical, environmental, and social/labor standards. By providing a holistic view of the supply chain’s sustainability performance, this type of software supports companies in maintaining integrity throughout their operations, mitigating risks and reinforcing commitment to responsible sourcing and production.

 

The market for ESG software is already experiencing rapid growth and is expected to keep its pace over the coming years.

 

-The global market spends on ESG reporting software is expected to grow from over $1.3 billion in 2023 to over $5.6 billion in 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 26%. Industries with complex supply chains – particularly manufacturing, and wholesale and retail trade – are expected to have the highest growth rates between 2023 and 2029. 1

 

-The carbon management software market grew from USD 13.08 billion in 2024 to USD 14.98 billion in 2025. It is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 13.93%, reaching USD 28.63 billion by 2030. 2

 

-The global supply chain sustainability software market was valued at approximately USD 1.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 6.8 billion by 2028, reflecting a CAGR of 32% 3.

 

As ESG becomes increasingly important, companies are not only looking for software to gain operational efficiencies and streamline their reporting, data management, and compliance processes. Corporates are also increasingly relying on consulting services to support them in their sustainability and ESG programs. ESG consulting covers a wide range of services, including support for ESG and sustainability corporate strategy, digital transformation, corporate reporting and disclosures, operational transformation, product stewardship and supply chain sustainability, among others. In par with the software market, investment in ESG and sustainability consulting reached USD 11.5 billion in 2022, expected to grow to USD 48 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 27%. 1

 

Going forward, technological innovations like AI are expected to keep driving market growth, making data collection and analysis more nuanced. Additionally, as ESG becomes a global standard, emerging markets will also substantially contribute to the growth, requiring businesses there to adopt ESG reporting tools.

 

1. Competitive landscape and pricing

 

As regulators worldwide issue new sustainability directives, the market for ESG services and software that helps companies with ESG data management and disclosure compliance efforts has blossomed. These solutions typically offer the features and resources required to gather, examine, and report on ESG data, assisting businesses in adhering to regulations and effectively promoting their sustainability initiatives. This ensures that businesses can effectively meet regulatory obligations while also monitoring their progress toward ESG goals.

 

The ESG reporting and data management software landscape today is somewhat fragmented and quickly evolving. Three key factors provide a useful lens through which to segment and understand the current landscape. From a positioning or heritage perspective, the market features a mix of legacy enterprise software companies, dedicated ESG tech start-ups, and consulting and auditing firms with ESG tech capabilities.

 

Across these companies, ESG providers will typically offer either integrated ESG platforms offering end-to-end reporting capabilities, specialized point solutions focusing on a specific horizontal or vertical functionality across the E, S and G, or Financial ESG and portfolio intelligence, offering financially relevant ESG data points. Additionally, ESG solution providers can be split according to their target audience, with a clear distinction between solutions targeted at financial institutions and regular corporates and between those aimed at large and complex enterprises or small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

Legacy software: Traditional and typically large software titans emerging from either the environment, health, safety, and quality (EHS&Q), Financial reporting or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software markets, who are now venturing into ESG realms. They generally offer intricate and comprehensive solutions cutting across several horizontal functionalities, specializing in select ESG verticals, aimed at large enterprise customers across industries, with complex structures and needs. The annual cost for these solutions range widely, as offerings tend to be highly customizable, but given the target audience it often goes up to the hundreds of thousands dollars a year.

 

  EHS&Q software generally focuses on risk management, workplace health and safety, and quality control within daily operations, mainly catering to industries with significant operational and regulatory risks. Wolters Kluwer’s Enablon, Sphera, Quentic, Intelex, Cority, or VelocityEHS, are traditional EHS&Q solution providers strategically repositioning themselves to partially rebrand to focus more broadly on ESG as a material revenue opportunity. This segment typically has in-depth knowledge of specific ESG issues (e.g., Health & Safety) but may lack know-how and capabilities across the broad spectrum of ESG and are typically focused on risk management and compliance rather than reporting.
     
  Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solutions are generally comprehensive, integrated systems designed to manage a business’ core functions and processes, such as finance, human resources, supply chain, manufacturing, and customer relations. Traditional ERP vendors like SAP, Salesforce, Oracle and even Microsoft are adding ESG data modules to their enterprise solutions. These types of solutions typically shine in capabilities like complex data management and integrations but lack experience and ESG-specific know-how.
     
  Financial reporting software, distinct yet sometimes integrated into ERPs, specifically caters to the generation, analysis, and presentation of financial data and statements, ensuring compliance with accounting standards and regulations. These firms are actively increasing the depth and breadth of non-financial KPIs on offer, integrating ESG into their core product suite (E.g. Cube, Insight Software, or Workiva). Already recognized in their core area, they are now also slowly establishing themselves in the sustainability field.

 

ESG Tech Start-ups: ESG tech startups have rapidly emerged over the past years , driven by the growing demand for specialized technology solutions for efficiency and automation in reporting. These startups leverage cutting-edge technologies such as AI, blockchain, and big data analytics to help companies monitor, measure, and report ESG metrics more accurately and efficiently. Their capabilities include carbon accounting, regulatory reporting aligned with global frameworks like GIR, CSRD, or SASB, and automated risk assessment tools. Some solution providers, such as Diginex, also offer stakeholder engagement tools. Agile and innovative by design, ESG tech startups are filling the gaps left by legacy systems, making ESG integration more accessible especially for small and medium enterprises seeking to future-proof their operations in an evolving regulatory and investor landscape.

 

Consulting and Audit firms with tech capabilities: This group captures traditional and often large consulting and audit companies that are quickly developing ESG capabilities both in terms of services (E.g. ESG advisory and assurance) and software. As ESG consulting projects increasingly require granular sustainability data and sophisticated software to amalgamate these data for strategic monitoring and compliance, consultancy firms increasingly need expertise and technical ability to create a suitable offering. As such, many of the major players have partnered with existing, typically legacy solutions to fill the need. These companies tend to offer a large variety of consulting services now in combination with ESG software tools, generally aimed at large multinationals and at high costs.

 

Some examples include, EY engaged Wolter Kluwer’s’ Enablon, a legacy global leader in integrated risk, operational risk and EHS management software, to use their technology to help organizations with end-to-end management and reporting of ESG data4. Bain and Company announced the backing of ESG Flo in 2023, an ESG data management solution focused on manufacturing, real estate, construction, retail, technology and healthcare. The firm was renamed as Tracera in 20255. PwC is working with legacy ESG performance and risk management software provider Sphera, backed by Blackstone in 20226. Deloitte announced its partnership with Informatica and Workiva on New ESG Data and Reporting Ecosystem in 20247.

 

The fragmented ESG reporting and data management landscape has seen some consolidation with acquisitions of Accuvio by Diligent (2021), Metrio by Nasdaq (2022), Greenstone by Cority (2023), Celsia by ISS (2024). Stand-alone solution providers are adapting in response to the evolving ESG data and technology landscape to stay either hyper specialized or broaden their focus from a single target market segment towards the coverage of the broader ecosystem.

 

There is no single typology of ESG solutions providers. One way to categorize is based on scope, specialization, and user focus as per the following:

 

  At the forefront are integrated ESG data platforms offering end-to-end capabilities from data capture and validation to analytics and multi-framework reporting. These platforms, such as Workiva, Novisto, Greenstone (now Cority), and diginexESG are increasingly seen as “ESG ERPs,” becoming the system of record for sustainability data across the enterprise.
     
  Alongside these are specialized point solutions that focus deeply on individual ESG themes. Carbon and climate management platforms, including Watershed, Greenly, and Plan A, remain a highly active segment due to the need for emissions tracking, net-zero planning, and regulatory alignment. Companies such as Greenomy focus on specific regulatory requirements, such as the EU CSRD. Others, like Ulula (now Ecovadis) and diginexLUMEN and diginexAPPRISE focus on the social dimension, particularly human rights due diligence and labor risk assessment.
     
  Financial ESG and portfolio intelligence tools, such as Novata, Clarity AI, and Arabesque S-Ray, are designed primarily for investors and financial institutions, enabling asset-level ESG analysis, impact scoring, and compliance with regulations like SFDR. These ESG data infrastructure providers also include firms such as ESG Book, Matters, Refinitiv, and Bloomberg ESG. They play a critical role by aggregating, verifying, and distributing ESG data via APIs and feeds that power both internal systems and external disclosures.

 

Across all the categories, AI-enhanced features and platforms are gaining momentum, using machine learning and generative AI to automate disclosure mapping, simulate risk scenarios, and accelerate sustainability decision-making. This landscape reflects several broader shifts: a move toward real-time, auditable data; increasing integration of AI for efficiency and predictive insights; growing focus on the “S” and “G” dimensions of ESG; and the emergence of affordable, modular platforms accessible to SMEs.

2. Outlook

 

The trajectory of ESG reporting software is clear, it is moving from a niche to a necessity. The future is likely to witness tighter software integrations across business functions, refined AI-driven analytics, and an ever-increasing emphasis on user experience. As SMEs continue to play a pivotal role in global economies, software solutions tailored to their needs, both functional and financial, will continue to take center stage in the ESG narrative.

 

Our Business Lines

 

Diginex currently offers several products, diginexESG, diginexCLIMATE, diginexLUMEN, diginexADVISORY and diginexPARTNERS. Revenues from diginexPARTNERS has traditionally until the year ended March 31, 2025 been the largest revenue contributor for Diginex however, revenues from this business line have been decreasing as we made the decision to focus on recurring revenues from software subscriptions for diginexESG, diginexCLIMATE and diginexLUMEN which are recurring in nature. diginexESG has the largest user base of our products but the annual subscription price is lower than that of diginexLUMEN. DiginexLUMEN was the lowest contributor to revenue over the past three fiscal years. We have seen an increased demand for white label solutions and this sales type contributed the largest component of revenue in the year ended March 31, 2025. diginexADVISORY offers bespoke solutions for clients and revenues are typically based on the number of days to compete the assigned task. diginexADVISORY clients tend to also be either diginexESG or diginexLUMEN clients.

 

Diginex has clients in over 20 countries. In the year ended 2025, US$0.9 million (44%) of annual revenue was generated in India from the sale of software license. The remainder of revenue was spread between United States of America (US$0.3 million, 17% of revenue), United Arab Emirates (US$0.2 million, 8% of revenue), Hong Kong (US$0.1 million, 5% of revenue) and Singapore (US$0.2 million, 11% of revenue). Revenues in the United States of America is driven by a project categorized under diginexPartners.

 

There is no seasonality impact on the demand for any of Diginex’s products or services.

 

Revenue generated from each business line for the years ending March 31 (in millions):

diginexESG & diginexClimate

 

Diginex maintains a core hypothesis that companies should spend more time improving their sustainability performance than reporting on it. That is one of the main reasons that we have created an intuitive, fast, and affordable ESG reporting tool that facilitates the entire process and supports companies regardless of their size, industry, or sustainability experience.

 

diginexESG is an ESG reporting platform that facilitates the key processes involved in corporate ESG reporting journeys through a 5 -step journey. The platform leverages data driven intelligence also referred to as machine learning to automate the generation of a “materiality assessment”; the topics which each company should consider reporting on based on their profile. The creation of the “materiality assessment” involves algorithmic matching to a variety of data sources including the manual input of reporting requirements by the client’s own stakeholders. This process can be expensive and lengthy if conducted through traditional consultants. It is typical then to engage in a process of “stakeholder engagement” to collect feedback from different groups inside and outside the company on which topics are important to them. These groups could include employees, investors, board members and customers. diginexESG helps facilitate large scale outreach to and data collection from these groups of stakeholders. Within the platform there are up to 19 frameworks and reporting standards from which companies can choose to report against. The platform then breaks down the reporting process by “indicator” and allows for direct data entry or the assignment of indicators to different data contributors from both inside and outside the company (for example, indicators relating to workforce metrics may be assigned to the company’s HR team. This transparent digital workflow process drives efficiency and allows companies to move away from email and excel data collection. Once the data collection process is finalized, companies can seamlessly generate an output from within the platform by leveraging a report generation engine. The last step prior to report finalization and publishing is to seek approval from the appropriate people (i.e. CEO, Board, CFO, external auditor). The blockchain-enabled audit files helps with this sign-off process by allowing approvers to see full data provenance around each indicator. The report is then ready to be issued and shared through PDF, Word or Excel.

 

Diginex has secured government funding from the Hong Kong government to develop AI functionality within diginexESG. The funding is not material but the recognition of Diginex by the Hong Kong government as a leading tech provider is deemed material by Diginex. This development work is done in collaboration with a leading financial institution and leverages OpenAI’s platform. The initial focus is on helping companies comply with sustainability disclosure requirements set by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which are increasingly being mandated for companies involved in global ESG reporting.

 

diginexCLIMATE, a module of diginexESG, supports a company’s broader ESG efforts by allowing businesses to calculate, track and improve their carbon footprint. Companies can also use the platform to collect, benchmark and get a portfolio view on the carbon footprint of their clients, suppliers, or assets.

Sales and Marketing

 

Commercial efforts are driven by a combination of i) inbound leads generated by social media activity primarily on LinkedIn, ii) targeted outbound activity by leveraging lead generation tools focused on specific industries, countries and lead profiles (for example, Chief Financial Officers in mid-sized UK based Industrials companies), and iii) referrals through our channel partners such as HSBC. The referrals via channel partners commenced in 2022 following a successful six month program with HSBC in the Middle East. Since initial engagement with channel partners to the date of this Prospectus, Diginex has generated more than $250,000 from HSBC.

 

On July 2022, DSL and HSBC Global Services (UK) Limited entered into an agreement whereby HSBC would refer clients to diginexESG and in return Diginex would apply a 20% discount to the subscription price for clients referred by HSBC. This agreement covered HSBC clients in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. In September 2024, this agreement was extended to December 31, 2027 on the same terms.

 

On November 2024, DSL and HSBC Technology & Services (USA) Inc. entered into an agreement whereby HSBC would refer clients to diginexESG and in return Diginex would apply a 50% discount to the subscription price for clients referred by HSBC. Diginex will contract directly with those clients referred. This agreement covered HSBC clients in the USA. The agreement is effective from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.

 

Diginex also has a channel relationship with Fitch Ratings, but to date it has not generated revenues. More recently Diginex has entered into strategic relationships with accounting firms such as Russell Bedford and Baker Tilly in Singapore, as detailed below. For sales via channel partners, we typically retain between 50%-70% of the revenue generated. We also actively attend events and conferences both as speakers and as conference exhibitors, which generates inbound interest. Our social media is mostly concentrated through our company LinkedIn channel with regular postings.

 

We continue to grow our sales team, and we expect to increase the number of sales professionals in multiple locations around the world. Currently, the Sales team consists of two dedicated sales employees based in the United Kingdom who are supported by subject matter experts to assist in closing sales and building strategic relationships.

 

We also rely on the active account management of existing customers by our customer success team through both cross-selling and upselling.

 

Recent Distribution Agreements

 

Russell Bedford

 

On March 1, 2025, Diginex entered into a strategic relationship agreement (the “RB Agreement”) with Russell Bedford, a globally recognized network of independent accounting and consulting firms with nearly 400 offices and a global team of 1,000 partners and 10,000 professionals, Russell Bedford provides trusted advisory services worldwide. Pursuant to the RB Agreement, Russell Bedford shall use its trusted global presence to market and sell the diginexESG platform to support and enhance the service offerings of the firms serviced by Russell Bedford. By combining Diginex’s cutting-edge technology with Russell Bedford’s expertise in accounting, audit, tax and consulting, the collaboration is expected to empower businesses worldwide to streamline ESG reporting, enhance compliance, and unlock the commercial benefits of sustainability.

 

Aikya Business Solution Private Limited Agreement

 

On March 17, 2025, Diginex entered into a strategic relationship agreement (the “Aikya Agreement”) with Aikya Business Solution Private Limited (“Aikya”), a leading AI and big data technology company with around 2.5 million users. Pursuant to the Aikya Agreement, Aikya agrees to launch Diginex’s award-winning ESG reporting platform, diginexESG, in Malaysia with an upfront license fee tranche. This collaboration aims to empower Malaysian businesses to enhance ESG transparency, streamline compliance, and drive sustainable finance initiatives in alignment with Malaysia’s sustainability goals.

 

Baker Tilly Singapore Agreement

 

On April 15, 2025, Diginex entered into a strategic relationship agreement (the “BT Agreement”) with Baker Tilly Singapore, a globally recognized advisory, tax and assurance firm. Baker Tilly Singapore agrees to market and sell diginexESG to support and enhance the service offerings provided by Baker Tilly Singapore.

 

Clients

 

diginexESG was initially created with a specific client demographic in mind; small to mid-sized enterprises who are new to ESG and climate reporting and with limited budgets or bandwidth to engage in a complex and new process. ESG reporting encompasses a broad range of economic, environmental, and social disclosures, traditionally with a focus on how a business impacts the world and key stakeholders. ESG reporting, influenced primarily by investor demands, is a subset of sustainability reporting that specifically focuses on how Environmental, Social and Governance aspects impact a company or investment. ESG reporting provides a standardized framework and metrics to assess a company’s non-financial performance and risk management, often with a more direct link to financial outcomes. The offering of a software solution to easy the ESG reporting process appealed to much larger organizations such as commercial banks (HSBC), ratings agencies (Fitch Ratings), and professional service companies (Russell Bedford and Baker Tilly) who increasingly needed to not only report on their own activities but also collect sustainability data from the many SMEs that they worked with, for sustainability linked loans, responsible underwriting, to better understand regulatory risk or to widen the scope of consultancy services offered in the case of professional services companies. The ability to scale diginexESG easily and affordability by disintermediating potentially expensive consultants from the process continues to be a compelling unique selling point as demonstrated by HSBC’s decision to partner with us in order to engage their SME customer base.

 

Since diginexESG launched in 2020, we have continued to add features which have also appealed to large caps with more complex hierarchical structures and data reporting requirements. This has included private equity funds with multiple portfolio companies and the need to aggregate data reporting up to a limited partner, as well as conglomerates with separate business units across different industries. Prior to the launch of diginexESG the Company focused primarily on customization projects.

 

As referred to above, we continue to add features to diginexESG and diginexLUMEN by utilizing the benefits of our hybrid working model for technology and design.  Conceptual work and prototyping are broadly sourced internally through our team of product managers, analysts and technical leads. Our outsourced IT vendor in Vietnam then provides robust dedicated teams of software engineers and quality assurance analysts for actual implementation of production features with the oversight and governance of the internal Diginex teams. Currently, the majority of software engineers and quality assurance analysts are outsourced. Ultimately, the accountability for production launches of new features and products sits with the internal infrastructure and development operations management within Diginex.

 

Also included in diginexESG is access to diginexCLIMATE our proprietary carbon footprint calculator based on GHG protocols which is similarly targeted at companies who are new to ESG reporting.

Competition and Pricing

 

diginexESG is deliberately priced to be accessible to companies of all sizes. Originally starting at US$99/user/month in December 2020, the product now starts from US$5,000 per annum and includes licenses for up to 3 users. This increase reflects the maturation and growing features that we now offer. The pricing of diginexESG will be periodically reviewed as we continue to add additional features. A diginexESG license is typically sold for a 12 month period.

 

In contrast, many ESG reporting platforms in the markets are characterized by relatively high-cost software designed more for large companies who have both the required budget and also in-house sustainability consultants with the expertise to be able to operate complex sustainability software products.

 

As a further point of differentiation, we currently offer a self-guided 7-day free trial to diginexESG for prospective clients to try the diginexESG software prior to subscribing for access to the platform whilst most comparable offerings in the market require engagement with a sales representative first.

 

In addition to being an intuitive and accessible B2B SaaS platform, our underlying ISO and SOC 2-certified infrastructure and architecture means diginexESG can also pass rigorous and time consuming bank-grade technology security review processes, which adds a competitive advantage to our product.

 

Government Regulation

 

Our products themselves are not currently regulated but rather Diginex offers software solutions so that companies can track and report on the ever-growing sustainability disclosure requirements put in place by many global regulators i.e. stock exchanges. diginexESG offers 19 reporting frameworks across 77 industries that allow companies to generate reports that align to either mandatory or recommended public company listing requirements.

 

diginexLUMEN

 

diginexLUMEN helps companies to undertake human rights due diligence in complex supply chains at scale. Supplier information is validated against worker feedback and automated risk calculations enables companies to prioritize issues for mitigation and prevention of adverse impacts and improvement efforts.

 

Traditionally, technologies used by global brands, consultancies, and international organizations to understand, identify, and manage business and human rights have mainly been standalone worker voice (e.g. grievance mechanism case handling), supply chain management or supplier management, or research surveys software. diginexLUMEN Pro is strongly positioned within the market in that it has the capability to bring together these standalone technologies, in order, to map tiers (supply chain management software) identified through a self-assessment questionnaire completed by suppliers (deployed as a survey), which is triangulated against data collected through an interactive, application-based worker voice technology. In addition, diginexLUMEN Pro is powerful in that it highlights human rights risks due to business practices: firstly, through assigning risk-based scoring to responses, and secondly, by triangulating business and worker responses to demonstrate inconsistencies. Suppliers complete a pre-created questionnaire set which typically incorporates scoring, weighting and conditional logic. Answers often require the upload of supporting documentation. diginexLUMEN customers can also create their own customized questionnaires. At the same time, workers are being asked similar questions via diginexAPPRISE which are designed to validate the answers given by the suppliers. Leveraging a proprietary scoring methodology, risk scores are then assigned to suppliers based on their answers as well as the discrepancies, if any, between their answers and the answers of the workers. Lastly, improvement plans are automatically generated which diginexLUMEN customers then deploy to suppliers and can observe the subsequent corrective action. A high level example may be; a supplier declares that they conduct mandatory safety training for all new hires, however data collected via diginexAPPRISE directly from workers indicates that new hires often do not receive any safety training during their onboarding. A high risk score is assigned to this specific indicator and an improvement plan is automatically generated for the supplier to follow and demonstrate corrective action.

 

diginexAPPRISE as a standalone worker voice technology product is distinct from other survey software as it has been developed to reach informal workers (often seasonal worker without formal employment contracts in place) in complex and opaque supply chains primarily through the use of QR codes which workers scan on their mobile phones. QR codes also help protect worker anonymity which we have observed to be important to encourage broad participation. The lack of anonymity can give rise to a fear of appraisals if workers give negative feedback. It differs from other worker voice technology as it is auditory and visually represented in workers own language, ensuring accessibility for illiterate workers to respond to questions about their employment practices. Similar competitors use telephone-based services for workers to report issues which could result in mobile charges, as diginexAPPRISE is web/application based and can be accessed either through QR codes or mobile messaging (e.g. WhatsApp) so that workers are not charged to access the survey.

Sales and Marketing

 

Officially launched in April 2022 and given the content-deep nature of diginexLUMEN the sales process typically requires a more targeted commercial approach to specific relevant professionals in a company; these can be procurement or risk professionals as well as sustainability experts. diginexLUMEN’s core modules focus on “Conditions at Work” or “Forced Labor” risk, workplace gender risk, and ESG risk This therefore requires specialized Diginex professionals who are able to engage with clients on deep content issues around these modules and the regulations that affect them. The sales cycle is also often longer than diginexESG, and can range from 2 months to 6 months.

 

Additionally, given the high levels of engagement with diginexLUMEN clients this can lead to on-going up-sale opportunities as clients request custom feature development and platform content creation.

 

Marketing tends to be through attendance and speaking at industry-relevant conferences.

 

Recent Distribution Agreements

 

Forvis Mazars LLP

 

On March 26, 2025, Diginex entered into a strategic relationship agreement (the “FM Agreement”) with Forvis Mazars LLP (“Forvis Mazars”), a leading global professional services firm. Pursuant to the FM Agreement, the parties aim to empower businesses to assess and manage supply chain risks related to climate and social issues, enhancing transparency and resilience in an increasingly complex global landscape. Mazars will aim to distribute diginexLUMEN to their client base.

 

Our strategic relationship with Forvis Mazars combines Diginex’s cutting-edge technology with Forvis Mazars’ deep expertise in ESG advisory, climate risk management, and business strategy, offering clients a powerful tool to navigate the evolving demands of sustainability and regulatory compliance. diginexLUMEN, a scalable and affordable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, provides unparalleled insight into supply chain risks by leveraging robust governance processes, multilingual worker voice surveys, and algorithm-based risk scoring. This enables companies to identify, prioritize, and address issues such as forced labor, climate impacts, and other social vulnerabilities across their global operations.

 

Clients

 

diginexLUMEN was developed together with input from Coca Cola and Reckitt as a software tool to help identify and mitigate cases of forced and child labor in complex global interjurisdictional supply chains. It later expanded to also include gender risk. diginexLUMEN is therefore designed specifically for large multi-national companies with high supply chains and importantly large numbers of people working at those suppliers who no longer want to rely solely on the traditional in-person audits which have tended to be slow and expensive with relatively static data. These companies are also increasingly subject to regulations mandating greater supply chain disclosure with regards to forced labor / modern slavery due diligence.

 

Initial clients have focused primarily on companies in FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) but the sectors have now widened to industries such as agricultural commodities as well as professional services firms working on behalf of their clients.

 

Competition and Pricing

 

diginexLUMEN as a software product is unique in having a specific focus on social governance issues (including but not limited to forced labor risk, modern slavery due diligence, child labor risk and gender risk), and leveraging worker voice data to simultaneously validate corporate disclosures.

 

The pricing for a diginexLUMEN license starts at US$40,000 per annum. There are no limitations on the number or location of suppliers that a diginexLUMEN customer can onboard. In addition to the software license, there are often incremental fees for items such as additional question set design and translations into additional languages.

 

diginexADVISORY

 

Sustainability is a complex topic, and it increasingly requires company-wide, multifaceted approaches. Diginex provide a range of services that, in combination with our premium software tools, help companies address their unique ESG challenges.

 

diginexADVISORY provides strategy and advisory support at every stage of the sustainability journey often alongside a software sale. Our advisory services typically include:

 

  Developing ESG (reporting) strategies
  Conducting ESG materiality assessments
  Conducing ESG data gap analyses
  Developing custom ESG reporting frameworks
  Conducting tailored carbon footprints
  Drafting and designing sustainability reports
  Conducting workshops and training sessions on a range of ESG topics and processes
  ESG rating support services to help businesses secure and improve ESG scores

 

Sales and Marketing

 

diginexADVISORY services are typically tied to an extension of a software license to either diginexESG or diginexLUMEN.

 

To date, there has been relatively little marketing of diginexADVISORY as a standalone service and sales tend to be organic from existing clients or as part of the onboarding for a new diginexESG or diginexLUMEN client. Given market demand that we have observed we will be adopting more proactive measures to market diginexADVISORY to a broader base of clients.

 

Clients

 

diginexADVISORY stretches across both diginexESG and diginexLUMEN clients and beyond and is offered to companies of all sizes and levels of expertise to help them with their sustainability reporting or supply chain disclosures.

 

Competition and Pricing

 

Whilst there are many players in this market ranging from large global consultancies (i.e. EY, PwC) to specialist and/or low-cost boutique advisory companies, our observation is that there is still a material market supply / demand in balance given a) the ever-increasing number of companies who are newly subjected to regulated or industry disclosure requirements (for example, CRSD) and b) the number of professionals with the required skill sets to meet this growing demand.

 

Advisory contracts are generally priced based on the number of days expected to complete the clearly defined scope of work after applying a profit margin.

 

Barriers to entry for potential competition to our advisory business are largely dependent on the availability of subject matter expert consultants.

diginexPARTNERS

 

diginexPARTNERS also known as Customization is a service whereby Diginex develops white label versions of both diginexESG and diginexLUMEN for companies who want to run the product as an extension of their own service offering. This service often requires customized technology development up front which generates one-off lump sum revenue as well as the ongoing service and maintenance of the licensed software which generates recurring revenue.

 

Diginex has developed custom software platforms as part of project consortiums for organizations like the United States Department of State, United States Department of Labor, and the United Nations and most recently signed a white label contract with Mazars, the professional services firm.

 

Sales and marketing

 

Diginex provides both off-the-shelf white label products with standard customizable features as well as completely bespoke tech builds. We will be focusing on expanding our white label client base, in addition to our original business to business (B2B) software clients, across both diginexESG and diginexLUMEN as the underlying technology infrastructure has already been built and is ready to deploy. White label subscription revenues are booked within diginexESG and diginexLUMEN with customization revenues booked to diginexPARTNERS.

 

We have taken the decision, however, to reduce focus on customization projects that do not come with recurring revenue via the software license.

 

Given the nature of the product, White Label sales require targeted outreach to specific client types (i.e. professional services firms, ratings agencies, banks, accounting companies) who will leverage the product to engage with their own customer base.

 

Clients

 

diginexPARTNERS includes the technology customization work that we typically do for some of our larger clients. This can include white labels of either our diginexESG or diginexLUMEN software platforms or entirely bespoke multi-year technology projects for large government agencies (such as the United States Department of Labor) or inter-governmental agencies (such as the United Nations).

 

Competition and Pricing

 

There are a large number of custom development solutions in the marketplace covering a full price range and sophistication level. Diginex is able to combine both significant technical expertise with deep subject matter experts, which sets us apart from the majority of the market. For this reason, Diginex has been chosen as a specialist technology partner for a number of government and inter-governmental sponsored projects looking at both modern slavery and child labor issues across Asia and the Middle East. Diginex’s research and development into technology-enabled solutions helps to create a competitive advantage to our offering. The pricing of customization is based on the scope of the project.

Post the completion of the Restructuring and Share Subdivision (as defined below), the number of warrants of Diginex Limited issued to Rhino Ventures Limited was adjusted to 4,170,520 from 10,172 with an adjusted price per warrant of US$6.13. The warrants, if fully exercised, will result in the issuance of such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the warrants being exercised. This will be prorated for partial exercise of warrants. Rhino Ventures Limited paid the subscription price by the payment of $6.1 million in cash and the conversion of $1.9 million of debt due to Rhino Ventures Limited. The RVL Subscription Agreement also activated an anti-dilution clause in the Articles of Association of DSL which resulted in HBM IV, Inc. being issued 151 preferred shares of DSL for zero consideration. This increased HBM IV, Inc.’s holding to 3,151 preferred shares of DSL.

 

In connection with the Exchange, Diginex Limited and security holders of DSL consummated the following transactions (the “Ancillary Transactions”): (i) Diginex Limited issued $4.35 million new convertible loan notes to certain Original Shareholders in consideration for the cancellation of the then existing convertible loan notes issued by DSL and held by such Original Shareholders; (ii) Diginex Limited granted certain share options under the new share option plan that was adopted by Diginex Limited to the holders of the unexercised share options granted by DSL (the “Original Share Options”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Share Options held by such holders. At time of the Exchange there were 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting and (iii) Diginex Limited granted certain warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited to the holders of the then existing warrants to purchase ordinary shares of DSL (the “Original Warrants”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Warrants held by such holders. The convertible loan notes automatically converted into Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited on December 20, 2024 and whilst there is no automatic vesting of any unvested share options upon completion of the IPO the board of directors, at their discretion, do have the ability to accelerate vesting at any point. The board of directors approved and authorized the acceleration of the vesting of the unvested share options to January 23, 2026. The fair value of all unvested ESOP as of the date of this Prospectus is $2.2 million of which $1.0 million has been recognized in the financial statements at March 31, 2024.

 

Accordingly, upon consummation of the Exchange and the Ancillary Transactions (collectively the “Restructuring”), DSL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Diginex Limited, and the prior shareholders of DSL became shareholders of Diginex Limited. The remaining DSL security holders became security holders of Diginex Limited, in that they held Diginex Limited convertible loan notes, share options and warrants. Following, the closing of the Restructuring there are 6,869,961 Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited issued and outstanding, 1,291,910 preferred shares of Diginex Limited issued and outstanding, 4,170,520 warrants issued and outstanding, $4.35 million new convertible loan notes issued and outstanding and 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting.

 

Following the Restructuring, on July 26, 2024, the Company completed a share subdivision (the “Share Subdivision”) such that, the authorized share capital of the Company was revised to be US$50,000 divided into 960,000,000 Ordinary Shares of US$0.00005 par value each and 40,000,000 preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”), par value US$0.00005 per share. Prior to the Share Subdivision there were 6,869,961 ordinary shares and 1,291,910 preferred shares issued and outstanding, and after the Share Subdivision there are 13,739,922 Ordinary Shares and 2,583,820 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.

 

During the Restructuring, a $1 million loan due from DSL to a related company, Diginex Holdings Limited, a company controlled by Rhino Ventures Limited, was converted into a $1 million convertible loan note of which Rhino Ventures Limited holds $517,535 of the principal amount of the convertible loan note and Working Capital Innovation Fund II L.P. holds $482,465 of the principal amount of the convertible loan note. The loan between DSL and Diginex Holdings Limited charged interest at 8% per annum and had a maturity date of December 31, 2024. The terms of the new convertible loan notes also charge interest at 8% per annum and had a maturity date of December 31, 2024. This $1 million convertible loan note forms part of the $4.35 million loan notes issued by Diginex Limited post the Restructuring.

Diginex Limited Employee Share Option Plan (the “Incentive Plan”)

 

Purpose; Types of Awards.

 

The purpose of the Incentive Plan is (i) to encourage profitability and growth through short-term and long-term incentives that are consistent with Diginex Limited’s objectives; (ii) to give participants an incentive for individual performance; (iii) to promote teamwork among participants; and (iv) to give Diginex Limited an advantage in attracting and retaining key employees, directors, and consultants. To accomplish this purpose, the Incentive Plan permits the granting of awards in the form of options, share appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted share units, performance based awards (including performance shares, performance units and performance bonus awards), and other share-based or cash-based awards.

 

Shares Subject to the Incentive Plan.

 

The aggregate number of shares that are available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Incentive Plan is equal to 5,400,000 Ordinary Shares. The maximum number of shares subject to Incentive Plan awards granted during any fiscal year to any non-employee director, when taken together with any cash fees paid to the director during the year in respect of his or her service as a director, may not exceed $200,000 in total value. If an award granted under the Incentive Plan is forfeited, canceled, settled, or otherwise terminated without a distribution of shares, the shares underlying that award will again become available for issuance under the Incentive Plan. However, none of the following shares will be available for issuance under the Incentive Plan: (i) shares delivered to or withheld to pay withholding taxes, (ii) shares used to pay the exercise price of an option, or (iii) shares subject to any exercised share-settled SARs. Any substitute awards shall not reduce the shares authorized for grant under the Incentive Plan.

Administration of the Incentive Plan.

 

The Incentive Plan will be administered by the plan administrator, who is the Diginex Limited board of directors or a committee that it designates. The plan administrator has the power to determine the terms of the awards granted under the Incentive Plan, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each award, and the exercisability of the awards. The plan administrator also has the power to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which awards will be made and to make all other determinations and take all other actions advisable for the administration of the Incentive Plan.

 

Participation.

 

Participation in the Incentive Plan will be open to employees, contractors and consultants, who have been selected as an eligible recipient under the Incentive Plan by the plan administrator.

 

Types of Awards.

 

The types of awards that may be made under the Incentive Plan are described below. All of the awards described below are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, vesting and forfeiture provisions determined by the plan administrator, subject to certain limitations provided in the Incentive Plan.

 

Performance-Based Awards.

 

Diginex Limited may grant an award conditioned on satisfaction of certain performance criteria. Such performance-based awards include performance-based restricted shares and restricted share units.

 

Performance Goals.

 

If the plan administrator determines that the performance-based award to an employee is subject to performance goals, then the performance-based criteria upon which the awards will be based shall be by reference to any one or more of the following: earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net operating profit after tax; cash flow; revenue; net revenues; sales; days sales outstanding; scrap rates; income; net income; operating income; net operating income, operating margin; earnings; earnings per share; return on equity; return on investment; return on capital; return on assets; return on net assets; total shareholder return; economic profit; market share; appreciation in the fair market value, book value or other measure of value of Ordinary Shares; expense/cost control; working capital; volume/production; new products; customer satisfaction; brand development; employee retention or employee turnover; employee satisfaction or engagement; environmental, health, or other safety goals; individual performance; strategic objective milestones; days inventory outstanding; or any other performance goals or a combination of performance goals selected by the plan administrator. Performance goals may be measured either in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or decrease or as compared to results of a peer group or to market performance indicators.

 

Restricted Shares.

 

A restricted share award is an award of Ordinary Shares that vests in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the plan administrator. The plan administrator will determine in the award agreement whether the participant will be entitled to vote the restricted shares and/or receive dividends on such shares.

 

Restricted Share Units.

 

A restricted share unit is a right to receive shares or the cash equivalent of Ordinary Shares at a specified date in the future, subject to forfeiture of such right.

 

67
 

 

Share Options.

 

A share option entitles the recipient to purchase Ordinary Shares at a fixed exercise price. The exercise price per share will be determined by the plan administrator in the applicable award agreement in its sole discretion at the time of the grant. The maximum term of each option shall be fixed by the plan administrator, but in no event shall an option be exercisable more than (i) ten (10) years after the date such option is granted to an employee of Diginex Limited or its affiliates on the date of grant, or (ii) five (5) years after the date such option is granted to a person who is not an employee of Diginex Limited or its affiliates on the date of grant.

 

Share Appreciation Rights (SAR).

 

A SAR entitles the holder to receive an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of an ordinary share on the exercise date and the exercise price of the SAR (which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of an ordinary share on the grant date), multiplied by the number of shares subject to the SAR (as determined by the plan administrator).

 

Other Share-Based Awards.

 

Diginex Limited may grant or sell to any participant unrestricted Ordinary Shares under the Incentive Plan or a dividend equivalent. A dividend equivalent is a right to receive payments, based on dividends with respect to Ordinary Shares.

 

Other Cash-Based Awards.

 

Diginex Limited may grant cash awards under the Incentive Plan, including cash awards as a bonus or upon the attainment of certain performance goals.

 

Equitable Adjustments.

68
 

 

Amendment and Termination.

 

The plan administrator may alter, amend, modify, or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time.

Shareholders registered as the joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of the share. If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the share or in the notice of the call or if no rate is fixed, at the rate of ten percent per annum. The directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

 

We have a first and paramount lien on all shares (whether fully paid up or not) registered in the name of a shareholder (whether solely or jointly with others). The lien is for all monies payable to us by the shareholder or the shareholder’s estate:

 

  either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a shareholder; and
     
  whether or not those monies are presently payable.

 

At any time the directors may declare any share to be wholly or partly exempt from the lien on shares provisions of the articles.

 

We may sell, in such manner as the directors may determine, any share on which the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, if due notice that such sum is payable has been given (as prescribed by the articles) and, within 14 clear days of the date on which the notice is deemed to be given under the articles, such notice has not been complied with.

 

Diginex Limited’s Unclaimed Dividend

 

A dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by, the company.

 

Forfeiture or Surrender of Diginex Limited’s Shares

 

If a shareholder fails to pay any capital call, the directors may give to such shareholder not less than 14 clear days’ notice requiring payment and specifying the amount unpaid including any interest which may have accrued, any expenses which have been incurred by us due to that person’s default and the place where payment is to be made. The notice shall also contain a warning that if the notice is not complied with, the shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited and the place where payment is to be made.

 

If such notice is not complied with, the directors may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any share the subject of that notice be forfeited (which forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited share and not paid before such forfeiture).

 

73
 

 

A forfeited share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors determine and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the directors think fit.

 

A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a shareholder in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, remain liable to pay to us all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to us in respect of the shares, together with all expenses and interest from the date of forfeiture or surrender until payment.

 

A declaration, whether statutory or under oath, made by a director or the secretary shall be conclusive evidence that the person making the declaration is our director or secretary and that the particular shares have been forfeited or surrendered on a particular date.

 

Diginex Limited’s Share Premium Account

 

The directors shall establish a share premium account in accordance with the Companies Act and shall carry the credit of such account from time to time to a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any share or capital contributed or such other amounts required by the Companies Act.

 

Redemption and Purchase of Own Diginex Limited’s Shares

 

Subject to the Companies Act and any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, we may by action of our directors:

 

  issue shares that are to be redeemed or liable to be redeemed, at our option or the shareholder holding those redeemable shares, on the terms and in the manner our directors determine before the issue of those shares;
     
  with the consent by special resolution of the shareholders holding shares of a particular class, vary the rights attaching to that class of shares so as to provide that those shares are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at our option on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such variation; and
     
  purchase all or any of our own shares of any class including any redeemable shares on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such purchase.

 

We may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares in any manner authorized by the Companies Act, including out of any combination of capital, our profits and the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.

 

When making a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of shares, the directors may make the payment in cash or in specie (or partly in one and partly in the other) if so authorized by the terms of the allotment of those shares or by the terms applying to those shares, or otherwise by agreement with the shareholder holding those shares.

 

Transfer of Diginex Limited’s Shares

 

Subject to any applicable requirements set forth in the articles and provided that a transfer of shares complies with applicable rules of the Nasdaq, and where the shares in question are not listed on or subject to the rules of any designated stock exchange, further subject to any provisions of the Shareholder Agreement and provided that the directors shall approve and register any transfer of Shares made in accordance with the Shareholder Agreement and shall refuse to register any transfer of Shares made otherwise than in accordance with the Shareholder Agreement, a shareholder may transfer shares to another person by completing an instrument of transfer in a usual or common form or in any other form approved by the directors, executed:

 

  where the shares are fully paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder; and
     
  where the shares are nil or partly paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder and the transferee.

 

The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a share until the name of the transferee is entered into our register of members.

 

74
 

 

Where the shares in question are not listed on or subject to the rules of the Nasdaq, our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any share that has not been fully paid up or is subject to a company lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of such share, without giving any reason, unless:

 

  the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;
     
  the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;
     
  the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;
     
  the share transferred is fully paid and free of any lien in favor of us;
     
  any applicable fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchanges may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the board of the directors may from time to time require related to the transfer has been paid to us; and

     
  the transfer is not more than four joint holders.

 

If our directors refuse to register a transfer of any shares of any class not listed on a Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in our articles), they are required, within one (1) month after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, to send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

 

Inspection of Diginex Limited’s Books and Records

 

Holders of our shares will have no general right under the Companies Act to inspect or obtain copies of our register of members or our corporate records (except for the memorandum and articles of association of our Company, any special resolutions passed by our Company and the register of mortgages and charges of our Company).

 

General Meetings of Diginex Limited’s Shareholders

 

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obligated by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings; accordingly, we may, but shall not be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as an annual general meeting. Further, in accordance Diginex Limited’s determination to follow its home country corporate governance practices in lieu of some of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A), we may not hold an annual general meeting for, among other things, the election of directors. As such, we may hold an annual general meeting that does not include the election of directors on a yearly basis. Any annual general meeting held shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our board of directors in accordance with our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

 

The directors may convene general meetings whenever they think fit. General meetings shall also be convened on the written requisition of one or more of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at our general meetings who (together) hold not less than ten percent of the rights to vote at such general meeting in accordance with the notice provisions in the articles, specifying the purpose of the meeting and signed by each of the shareholders making the requisition. If the directors do not convene such meeting within 21 clear days’ from the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders who requested the meeting or any of them may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of 21 clear days in which case reasonable expenses incurred by them as a result of the directors failing to convene a meeting shall be reimbursed by us.

 

At least five (5) clear days’ notice of any general meeting shall be given to shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of that business. In addition, if a resolution is proposed as a special resolution, the text of that resolution shall be given to all shareholders. Notice of every general meeting shall also be given to the directors and our auditors.

 

Subject to the Companies Act and with the consent of the shareholders who, individually or collectively, hold at least 90 percent of the voting rights of all those who have a right to vote at a general meeting, a general meeting may be convened on shorter notice.

 

75
 

 

A quorum shall consist of the presence (whether in person or represented by proxy) of one or more shareholders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of the outstanding shares carrying the right to vote at such general meeting unless the Company only one member.

 

If, within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the general meeting, or at any time during the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be cancelled. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven days hence, or to such other time or place as is determined by the directors.

 

The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, adjourn the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned for more than seven clear days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with the articles.

 

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll.

 

A poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting.

 

In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

 

Directors of Diginex Limited

 

We may by ordinary resolution, from time to time, fix the maximum and minimum number of directors to be appointed. Under the articles, we are required to have a minimum of one director and the maximum number of Directors shall be unlimited.

 

A director may be appointed by ordinary resolution or by the directors. Any appointment may be to fill a vacancy or as an additional director.

 

Unless the remuneration of the directors is determined by the shareholders by ordinary resolution, the directors shall be entitled to such remuneration as the directors may determine.

 

The shareholding qualification for directors may be fixed by our shareholders by ordinary resolution and unless and until so fixed no share qualification shall be required.

 

A director may be removed by ordinary resolution. The Articles do not require an annual director election.

 

A director may at any time resign from office by giving us notice in writing. Unless the notice specifies a different date, the director shall be deemed to have resigned on the date that the notice is delivered to us.

 

Subject to the provisions of the articles, the office of a director may be terminated forthwith if:

 

  he is prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands from acting as a director;
     
  he is made bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors generally;

Powers and Duties of Diginex Limited’s Directors

 

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, our business shall be managed by the directors, who may exercise all our powers. No prior act of the directors shall be invalidated by any subsequent alteration of our memorandum or articles. To the extent allowed by the Companies Act, however, shareholders may by special resolution validate any prior or future act of the directors which would otherwise be in breach of their duties.

 

The directors may delegate any of their powers to any committee consisting of one or more persons who need not be shareholders and may include non-directors so long as the majority of those persons are directors; any committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations that may be imposed on it by the directors. Upon the initial closing of the IPO, our board of directors will have established an audit and risk committee, and a nomination and compensation committee.

 

The board of directors may establish any local or divisional board of directors or agency and delegate to it its powers and authorities (with power to sub-delegate) for managing any of our affairs whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere and may appoint any persons to be members of a local or divisional board of directors, or to be managers or agents, and may fix their remuneration.

 

The directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney or in any other manner they determine appoint any person, either generally or in respect of any specific matter, to be our agent with or without authority for that person to delegate all or any of that person’s powers.

 

The directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney or in any other manner they determine appoint any person, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the directors, to be our attorney or our authorized signatory and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit. The powers, authorities and discretions, however, must not exceed those vested in, or exercisable, by the directors under the articles.

 

The board of directors may remove any person so appointed and may revoke or vary the delegation.

 

The directors may exercise all of our powers to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets both present and future and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures and other securities whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of ours or our parent undertaking (if any) or any subsidiary undertaking of us or of any third party.

 

77
 

 

Subject to the applicable listing rules and disqualification by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may, vote (and be counted in the quorum) in respect of any contract, transaction, arrangement or proposal in which he has an interest, provided that the nature and extent of any such material interest has been duly declared at a meeting of the directors by a general notice given to the other directors prior to the consideration of the meeting.

 

Interested Directors

 

Interested director transactions are governed by the terms of a company’s memorandum and articles of association. The Articles provide that a director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. A general notice given to the directors by any director to the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made or transaction so consummated. Subject to the applicable listing rules and disqualification by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he may be interested therein provided the director discloses to his fellow directors the nature and extent of any material interests in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction shall come before the meeting for consideration.

 

Capitalization of Diginex Limited’s Profits

 

Subject to the Memorandum and Articles, the directors may resolve to capitalize:

 

  any part of our profits not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not those profits are available for distribution); or
     
  any sum standing to the credit of our share premium account or capital redemption reserve, if any.

 

The amount resolved to be capitalized must be appropriated to the shareholders who would have been entitled to it had it been distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions.

 

Shareholder Proposal Rights

 

The Companies Act does not provide shareholders any right to bring business before a meeting or requisition a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in the company’s memorandum and articles of association.

 

The shareholders are entitled to requisition a general meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Articles, but the Articles does not expressly provide for any shareholders proposal rights.

 

Liquidation Rights of Diginex Limited’s Shareholders

 

If we are wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the articles and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, pass a special resolution allowing the liquidator to do either or both of the following:

 

  to divide in specie among the shareholders the whole or any part of our assets and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders; and
     
  to vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees for the benefit of shareholders and those liable to contribute to the winding up.

 

The directors have the authority to present a petition for our winding up to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on our behalf without the sanction of a resolution passed at a general meeting.

 

78
 

 

Diginex Limited’s Register of Members

 

Under the Companies Act, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:

 

  the names and addresses of our shareholders, and, a statement of the shares held by each member, which:
       
    distinguishes each share by its number (so long as the share has a number);
       
    confirms the amount paid, or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member;
       
    confirms the number and category of shares held by each member; and
       
    confirms whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the articles of association of the company, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional;
       
  the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a shareholder; and
       
  the date on which any person ceased to be a shareholder.

 

Under the Companies Act, the register of members of our Company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (that is, the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a shareholder registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of the Companies Act to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Upon the completion of the IPO, the register of members was immediately updated to record and give effect to the issuance of shares by us to the custodian or its nominee. Once our register of members was updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members were deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.

 

If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in or omitted from our register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a shareholder of our Company, the person or shareholder aggrieved (or any shareholder of our Company or our Company itself) may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.

 

Certain Differences in Corporate Law

 

The Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England and Wales but does not follow recent United Kingdom statutory enactments, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Act and the current Companies Act of the UK. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the comparable laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States and companies incorporated in Hong Kong.

 

79
 

 

    Delaware   Cayman Islands
Title of Organizational Documents   Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws   Certificate of Incorporation and Memorandum and Articles of Association
Duties of Directors   Under Delaware law, the business and affairs of a corporation are managed by or under the direction of its board of directors. In exercising their powers, directors are charged with a fiduciary duty of care to protect the interests of the corporation and a fiduciary duty of loyalty to act in the best interests of its shareholders. The duty of care requires that directors act in an informed and deliberative manner and inform themselves, prior to making a business decision, of all material information reasonably available to them. The duty of care also requires that directors exercise care in overseeing and investigating the conduct of the corporation’s employees. The duty of loyalty may be summarized as the duty to act in good faith, not out of self-interest, and in a manner which the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the shareholders.   As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director owes three types of duties to the company: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Companies Act imposes a number of statutory duties on a director. A Cayman Islands director’s fiduciary duties are not codified, however the courts of the Cayman Islands have held that a director owes the following fiduciary duties (a) a duty to act in what the director bona fide considers to be in the best interests of the company, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes they were conferred, (c) a duty to avoid fettering his or her discretion in the future and (d) a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and of duty. The common law duties owed by a director are those to act with skill, care and diligence that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and, also, to act with the skill, care and diligence in keeping with a standard of care commensurate with any particular skill they have which enables them to meet a higher standard than a director without those skills. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our amended articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time. We have the right to seek damages where certain duties owed by any of our directors are breached.
Limitations on Personal Liability of Directors   Subject to the limitations described below, a certificate of incorporation may provide for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Such provision cannot limit liability for breach of loyalty, bad faith, intentional misconduct, unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful share purchase or redemption. In addition, the certificate of incorporation cannot limit liability for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.   The Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of Officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against the indemnified person’s own fraud, dishonesty, willful default or willful neglect or against the consequences of committing a crime.

 

80
 

 

Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Agents, and Others   A corporation has the power to indemnify any director, officer, employee, or agent of corporation who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party who acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and if with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct would be unlawful, against amounts actually and reasonably incurred.  

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against the consequences of committing a crime, or against the indemnified person’s own fraud, dishonesty willful default or willful neglect.

 

Our amended and restated articles of association provide to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each existing or former secretary, director (including alternate director), and any of our other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against: (a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and (b) without limitation to paragraph (a) above, all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

 

81
 

 

       

No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own dishonesty, fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

 

To the extent permitted by law, we may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or any of our officers in respect of any matter identified in above on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by us to the extent that it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), the secretary or that officer for those legal costs.

         
Interested Directors   Under Delaware law, a transaction in which a director who has an interest in such transaction would not be voidable if (i) the material facts as to such interested director’s relationship or interests are disclosed or are known to the board of directors and the board in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum, (ii) such material facts are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote on such transaction and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders, or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified. Under Delaware law, a director could be held liable for any transaction in which such director derived an improper personal benefit.  

Interested director transactions are governed by the terms of a company’s memorandum and articles of association.

 

The Articles provide that a director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. A general notice given to the directors by any director to the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made or transaction so consummated. Subject to the applicable listing rules and disqualification by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a Director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he may be interested therein provided the director discloses to his fellow directors the nature and extent of any material interests in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction shall come before the meeting for consideration.:

 

82
 

 

Voting Requirements  

The certificate of incorporation may include a provision requiring supermajority approval by the directors or shareholders for any corporate action.

 

In addition, under Delaware law, certain business combinations involving interested shareholders require approval by a supermajority of the non-interested shareholders.

 

For the protection of shareholders, certain matters must be approved by special resolution of the shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, including alteration of the memorandum or articles of association, appointment of inspectors to examine company affairs, reduction of share capital (subject, in relevant circumstances, to court approval), change of name, authorization of a plan of merger or transfer by way of continuation to another jurisdiction or consolidation or voluntary winding up of the company.

 

The Companies Act requires that a special resolution be passed by a majority of at least two-thirds or such higher percentage as set forth in the memorandum and articles of association, of shareholders being entitled to vote and do vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting, or by unanimous written consent of shareholders entitled to vote at a general meeting.

 

The Companies Act defines “special resolutions” only. A company’s memorandum and articles of association can therefore tailor the definition of “ordinary resolutions” as a whole, or with respect to specific provisions.

         
Voting for Directors   Under Delaware law, unless otherwise specified in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.   Director election is governed by the terms of the memorandum and articles of association.

 

83
 

 

Cumulative Voting   No cumulative voting for the election of directors unless so provided in the certificate of incorporation.   There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the Companies Act but our amended and restated articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting.
         
Directors’ Powers Regarding Bylaws  

The certificate of incorporation may grant the directors the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.

  The memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of the shareholders.
         
Nomination and Removal of Directors and Filling Vacancies on Board   Shareholders may generally nominate directors if they comply with advance notice provisions and other procedural requirements in company bylaws. Holders of a majority of the shares may remove a director with or without cause, except in certain cases involving a classified board or if the company uses cumulative voting. Unless otherwise provided for in the certificate of incorporation, directorship vacancies are filled by a majority of the directors elected or then in office.   Nomination and removal of directors and filling of board vacancies are governed by the terms of the memorandum and articles of association.

 

84
 

 

Mergers and Similar Arrangements   Under Delaware law, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and by a majority of the outstanding voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereon. Under Delaware law, a shareholder of a corporation participating in certain mergers are entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value (as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery) of the shares held by such shareholder in lieu of the consideration such shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction.   The Companies Act provides for the merger or consolidation of two or more companies into a single entity. The legislation makes a distinction between a “consolidation” and a “merger.” In a consolidation, a new entity is formed from the combination of each participating company, and the separate consolidating parties, as a consequence, cease to exist and are each stricken by the Registrar of Companies. In a merger, one company remains as the surviving entity, having in effect absorbed the other merging parties that are then stricken and cease to exist.
         
    Delaware law also provides that a parent entity, by resolution of its board of directors, may merge with any subsidiary corporation, of which it owns at least 90% of each class of capital stock without a vote by shareholders of such subsidiary. Upon any such merger, dissenting shareholders of the subsidiary would have appraisal rights unless the subsidiary is wholly owned.  

Two or more Cayman-registered companies may merge or consolidate. Cayman-registered companies may also merge or consolidate with foreign companies provided that the laws of the foreign jurisdiction permit such merger or consolidation.

 

Under the Companies Act, a plan of merger or consolidation shall be authorized by each constituent company by way of (i) a special resolution of the members of each such constituent company; and (ii) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s memorandum and articles of association.

 

85
 

 

       

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes are owned by the parent company.

 

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

 

Save in certain circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

 

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by seventy-five percent (75%) in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

 

        the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;
           
        the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;

 

86
 

 

        the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and
           
        the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority”.

 

     

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of not less than 90.0% of the shares affected within four (4) months, the offeror may, within a two (2) month period commencing on the expiration of such four (4) month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

 

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

 

87
 

 

Shareholder Suits  

Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders under Delaware law for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law.

 

In such actions, the court generally has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action but such discretion is rarely used. Generally, Delaware follows the American rule under which each party bears its own costs.

 

In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, there are exceptions to the foregoing principle, including when:

 

        a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;
        the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and
        those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.

 

Inspection of Corporate Records   Under Delaware law, shareholders of a corporation, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during normal business hours to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts of list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation.   Shareholders of a Cayman Islands exempted company have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of a list of shareholders or other corporate records (other than copies of our memorandum and articles, the register of mortgages or charges, and any special resolutions passed by our shareholders) of the company. However, these rights may be provided in the company’s memorandum and articles of association.

 

88
 

 

Shareholder Proposals   Under Delaware law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the corporation’s governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the corporation’s governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.  

The Companies Act does not provide shareholders any right to bring business before a meeting or requisition a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in the company’s memorandum and articles of association.

 

The shareholders are entitled to requisition a general meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Articles, but the Articles does not expressly provide for any shareholders proposal rights.

         
Approval of Corporate Matters by Written Consent   Delaware law permits shareholders to take action by written consent signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting of shareholders unless otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. A corporation must send prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action approved by shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those shareholders who have not consented in writing and who would have otherwise been entitled to notice of the meeting at which such action would have been taken.   The Companies Act allows a special resolution to be passed in writing if signed by all the voting shareholders (if authorized by the memorandum and articles of association).
         
Calling of Special Shareholders Meetings   Delaware law permits the board of directors or any person who is authorized under a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws to call a special meeting of shareholders.   The Companies Act does not have provisions governing the proceedings of shareholders meetings which are usually provided in the memorandum and articles of association.

Anti-money Laundering — Cayman Islands

 

In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering, we are required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity and source of funds. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, we may also delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.

 

We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In some cases the directors may be satisfied that no further information is required since an exemption applies under the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended and revised from time to time (the “Regulations”). Depending on the circumstances of each application, a detailed verification of identity might not be required where:

 

  the subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution; or
     
  the subscriber is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based or incorporated in, or formed under the law of, a recognized jurisdiction; or
     
  the application is made through an intermediary which is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based in or incorporated in, or formed under the law of a recognized jurisdiction and an assurance is provided in relation to the procedures undertaken on the underlying investors.

 

For the purposes of these exceptions, recognition of a financial institution, regulatory authority, or jurisdiction will be determined in accordance with the Regulations by reference to those jurisdictions recognized by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority as having equivalent anti-money laundering regulations.

 

In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, we may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.

 

We also reserve the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a shareholder if our directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure our compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.

 

If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reason for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of their business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) to a police constable or a nominated officer (pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and terrorist property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

Legislation of the Cayman Islands

 

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have recently introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (Revised) (the “Substance Act”) came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities,” which in the case of exempted companies incorporated before January 1, 2019, applies in respect of financial years commencing July 1, 2019, onwards. However, it is anticipated that our Company may remain out of scope of the legislation or else be subject to more limited substance requirements.

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions in our Charter

 

Rule 144

Related Party Transactions

 

Solutions Business Acquisition

 

On May 15, 2020, Diginex Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, an entity related to the Company (“Diginex HK”), together with Diginex Solutions Limited, sold the legal entities of Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited and Diginex USA LLC, together with the trademarks associated with the Diginex name, to a related party, Rhino Ventures Limited, an entity controlled by Miles Pelham, the founder and former chairman of Diginex HK. The consideration of $6,000,000, that was paid by Rhino Ventures Limited for Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited and Diginex USA LLC, was netted against the shareholder loan between Diginex HK and Pelham Limited, another entity controlled by Miles Pelham. In addition, Diginex HK agreed to fund the business for six months post the sale at a 25% discount to the projected costs.

 

Diginex Services Limited Acquisition

 

On September 20, 2021, Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited acquired Diginex Services Limited, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and controlled by Rhino Ventures Limited for no cash payment. Prior to the acquisition Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited had been funding Diginex Services Limited for, primarily, the provision of IT maintenance and development services.

 

Rhino Ventures Loan

 

Rhino Ventures Limited advanced a loan to Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited. At March 31, 2024 the outstanding balance was $1.6 million and charged interest of 8% per annum. During the year ended March 31, 2025, Rhino Ventures Limited continued to fund Diginex and on 28 May 2024 converted $1.9 million of the outstanding loan into equity as part consideration for an $8.0 million capital raise. The $8 million capital raise was supplemented by an interest free cash advance by Rhino Ventures of $6.1 million (March 31, 2024: $5.3 million). Upon completion of the $8 million capital raise, Rhino Ventures Limited was issued 5,086 shares in DSL which amounted to 4,170,520 Ordinary Shares in Diginex Limited following the Restructure. In addition, Rhino Ventures was also issued warrants, which, post the Restructure, amounted to 4,170,520 warrants with an exercise price of $6.13 per warrant. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years from the date they were issued, May 27, 2024. The warrants, if fully exercised, will result in the issuance of shares equal to 51% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares at the time the warrants are exercised. This amount will be prorated in the event of partial exercise of the warrants.

 

In addition, upon pricing of the IPO in January 2025, Rhino Ventures agreed to convert $3 million of an outstanding loan at the listing price. The outstanding loan amounted to $3.5 million and on January 21, 2025, $3.0 million of the outstanding loan was converted into Ordinary Shares at a price of $4.10 resulting in the issuance of 731,707 Ordinary Shares. The balance of the loan, $0.5 million, was repaid in cash to Rhino Ventures Limited.

 

At March 31, 2025 there was no loan outstanding between Diginex and Rhino Ventures Limited.

 

Diginex Holdings Loan

 

On June 28, 2022 Diginex Holdings Limited, a company controlled by Rhino Ventures Limited advanced a loan of $1 million to Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited, bearing an 8% interest coupon.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

All of the Ordinary Shares sold in the Offering, will be freely transferable by persons other than our “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market could have a material adverse effect on the prevailing market prices of our Ordinary Shares. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Ordinary Shares from time to time and could impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

Upon the closing of the Offering, Diginex Limited has 36,493,763 Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the Offering, assuming all of the IPO Warrants are exercised and none of the Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Shareholders are sold. In addition, Diginex Limited will have 17,345 vested but not yet exercised options issued to employees and contractors, 368,826 unvested employee share options and unvested employee share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of vesting.

 

Lock-up agreements

 

Our directors, officers and major shareholders have agreed, subject to some exceptions, not to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our Shares, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our Shares, for a period of six months after the date of our initial public offering. After the expiration of the lock up period Ordinary Shares held by our directors, officers and major shareholders may be sold subject to the restrictions under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or by means of registered public offerings.

 

The Selling Shareholders, with respect to their Ordinary Shares sold pursuant to the Resale Prospectus in the IPO, has not entered into Lock-up Agreements. See “Risk Factor — The future sales of Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders, including the sales pursuant to this prospectus, may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.”

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned our “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule144 for at least six months is entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act, subject to certain restrictions. Persons who are our affiliates may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities that does not exceed the greater of the following:

 

1% of the number of shares of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, which will equal approximately 364,937 Ordinary Shares based on the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Offering, or the average weekly trading volume of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.

 

Sales under Rule 144 by persons who are deemed our affiliates are subject to manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. Persons who are not our affiliates and have beneficially owned our restricted securities for more than six months but not more than one year may sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act, subject to the availability of current public information about us. Persons who are not our affiliates and have beneficially owned our restricted securities for more than one year may freely sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act.

TAXATION

 

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. This summary applies only to U.S. Holders that hold our Ordinary Shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment) and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This summary is based on U.S. tax laws in effect as of the date of this prospectus, on U.S. Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed as of the date of this prospectus, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below. No ruling has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position.

 

This summary does not address the Medicare tax on certain investment income, U.S. federal estate, gift, backup withholding, and alternative minimum tax considerations, or any state, local, and non-U.S. tax considerations, relating to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. The following summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances or to persons in special tax situations such as:

 

  financial institutions or financial services entities;
     
  underwriters;
     
  insurance companies;
     
  pension plans;
     
  cooperatives;
     
  regulated investment companies;
     
  real estate investment trusts;
     
  grantor trusts;
     
  broker-dealers;
     
  traders that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;
     
  governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
     
  certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents;
     
  tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);
     
  persons liable for alternative minimum tax;
     
  persons holding stock as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction;
     
  persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
     
  passive foreign investment companies;
     
  controlled foreign corporations;
     
  persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock;
     
  partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding Ordinary Shares through such entities
     
  the Company’s officers or directors; or
     
  holders who are not U.S. Holders.

 

96
 

 

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

  an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
     
  a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
     
  an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
     
  a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions, or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our Ordinary Shares and their partners are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our Ordinary Shares.

 

Persons considering an investment in our Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.

 

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Our Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income, in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes, as dividends the amount of any distribution paid on the Ordinary Shares to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles). Such dividends paid by us will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder as dividend income and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. Dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may be “qualified dividend income,” which is taxed at the lower capital gains rate, provided that our Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding periods and other requirements. In this regard, shares generally are considered to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on Nasdaq, as our Ordinary Shares are currently listed on.

 

Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its Ordinary Shares (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Ordinary Shares. In the event that we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles, a U.S. Holder should expect that all cash distributions will be reported as dividends for United States federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any cash dividends paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares.

 

Dividends will generally be treated as income from foreign sources for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income. Depending on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit not in excess of any applicable treaty rate in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on our Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and their outcome depends in large part on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

 

97
 

 

Taxation of Sale or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Ordinary Shares. Any capital gain or loss will be long term if the Ordinary Shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are currently eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of our Ordinary Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash and cash equivalents are categorized as passive assets and the company’s goodwill and other unbooked intangibles are taken into account as non-passive assets. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.

 

No assurance can be given as to whether we may be or may become a PFIC, as this is a factual determination made annually that will depend, in part, upon the composition of our income and assets. Furthermore, the composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in the IPO. Under circumstances where our revenue from activities that produce passive income significantly increase relative to our revenue from activities that produce non-passive income, or where we determine not to deploy significant amounts of cash for active purposes, our risk of becoming classified as a PFIC may substantially increase. In addition, because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may challenge our classification of certain income and assets as non-passive or our valuation of our tangible and intangible assets, each of which may result in our becoming a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. If we were classified as a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder held our Ordinary Shares, we generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder held our Ordinary Shares even if we cease to be a PFIC in subsequent years, unless certain elections are made. Our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to our PFIC status for any taxable year.

 

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares. Under these rules,

 

  the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares;
     
  the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC (each, a “pre-PFIC year”), will be taxable as ordinary income;
     
  the amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that year; and

 

98
 

 

  an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, of the U.S. Holder.

 

If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, or if any of our subsidiaries is also a PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of any lower-tier PFICs for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

 

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock, provided that such stock is “regularly traded” within the meaning of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. If our Ordinary Shares qualify as being regularly traded, and an election is made, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such Ordinary Shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of such Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year, but such deduction will only be allowed to the extent of the amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, any gain such U.S. Holder recognizes upon the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares in a year when we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but such loss will only be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.

 

Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Furthermore, as an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder that owns stock of a PFIC generally may make a “qualified electing fund” election regarding such corporation to elect out of the PFIC rules described above regarding excess distributions and recognized gains. However, we do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

 

If a U.S. Holder owns our Ordinary Shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder must generally file an annual Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 and provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department, whether or not a mark-to-market election is or has been made. If we are or become a PFIC, you should consult your tax advisor regarding any reporting requirements that may apply to you.

 

You should consult your tax advisors regarding how the PFIC rules apply to your investment in our Ordinary Shares.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information to the Internal Revenue Service relating to an interest in “specified foreign financial assets,” including shares issued by a non-United States corporation, for any year in which the aggregate value of all specified foreign financial assets exceeds $50,000 (or a higher dollar amount prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service), subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in custodial accounts maintained with a U.S. financial institution). These rules also impose penalties if a U.S. Holder is required to submit such information to the Internal Revenue Service and fails to do so.

 

In addition, dividend payments with respect to our Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to additional information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on IRS Form W-9 or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on IRS Form W-9. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes for individual shareholders. However, transactions effected through certain brokers or other intermediaries may be subject to withholding taxes (including backup withholding), and such brokers or intermediaries may be required by law to withhold such taxes.

 

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

 

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciations and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us or holders levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on transfers of shares of Cayman Islands companies except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a party to a double tax treaty entered with the United Kingdom in 2010 but is otherwise not a party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our Company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

 

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of the Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the Ordinary Shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

 

The Cayman Islands enacted the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (As Revised) together with the Guidance Notes published by the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority from time to time. The Company is required to comply with the economic substance requirements from July 1, 2019 and make an annual report in the Cayman Islands as to whether or not it is carrying on any relevant activities and if it is, it must satisfy an economic substance test.

 

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The following table sets forth the name of the Selling Shareholders, the number of Ordinary Shares owned by each Selling Shareholders immediately prior to the date of this Resale Prospectus and the number of shares to be offered by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Resale Prospectus. The table also provides information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholders as adjusted to reflect the assumed sale of all of the shares offered under this Resale Prospectus.

 

Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 36,493,763 Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the offering, assuming none of the Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Shareholders are sold.

 

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated, the person identified in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by him, her or it, subject to applicable community property laws.

In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, securities that are currently convertible or exercisable into Ordinary Shares, or convertible or exercisable into our Ordinary Shares within 60 days of the date hereof are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Selling Shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their Ordinary Shares being offered under this Resale Prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which shares of our Ordinary Shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position; and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this Resale Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
     
  broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
     
  a combination of any of these methods of sale; and
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available for the Selling Shareholders, rather than under this Resale Prospectus. The Selling Shareholders has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

The Selling Shareholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If the Selling Shareholders defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

If sales of shares offered under this Resale Prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this Resale Prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.

 

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares offered under this Resale Prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discount under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this Resale Prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this Resale Prospectus or, if required, in a replacement resale prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this Resale Prospectus is a part.

 

101
 

 

The Selling Shareholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this Resale Prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the Selling Shareholders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

 

Rule 2710 requires members firms to satisfy the filing requirements of Rule 2710 in connection with the resale, on behalf of Selling Shareholders, of the securities on a principal or agency basis. NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event the Selling Shareholders intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this Resale Prospectus through a member of FINRA participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing, if required, is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA and disclosing to FINRA the following:

 

  it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of such certificates;
     
  the complete details of how the Selling Shareholders’ shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts;
     
  whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the Selling Shareholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and
     
  in the event any of the securities offered by the Selling Shareholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any Selling Shareholders in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a member firm of FINRA or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA for review.

 

No FINRA member firm may receive compensation in excess of that allowable under FINRA rules, including Rule 2710, in connection with the resale of the securities by the Selling Shareholders. If any of the ordinary shares offered for sale pursuant to this Resale Prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this Resale Prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this Resale Prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether any of the Selling Shareholders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this Resale Prospectus.

 

We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the shares being offered under this Resale Prospectus. However, each Selling Shareholders and purchaser is responsible for paying any discount, and similar selling expenses they incur.

 

We and the Selling Shareholders have agreed to indemnify one another against certain losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this Resale Prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

EXPERTS

 

The financial statements of Diginex Limited as of March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and for the years then ended, included in Prospectus have been audited by UHY LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report thereon and included in this Prospectus, in reliance upon such report and upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits: (a) political and economic stability; (b) an effective judicial system; (c) a favorable tax system; (d) the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and (e) the availability of professional and support services. However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include:

 

  the Cayman Islands has a less exhaustive body of securities laws than the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and
     
  Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

 

Our constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, among us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

 

We have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would:

 

  recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; and
  entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

There is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgment:

 

  (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction;
     
  (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given;
     
  (c) is final;
     
  (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty;
     
  (e) was not obtained by fraud; and
     
  (f) is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

 

103
 

 

Subject to the above limitations, in appropriate circumstances, a Cayman Islands court may give effect in the Cayman Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Diginex Limited

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Diginex Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diginex Limited as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

1.1 Group reorganization

 

The Company was incorporated on 26 January 2024. On 15 July 2024, the Company completed a transaction pursuant to a share exchange agreement, whereby the then existing shareholders of DSL (the “Original Shareholders”) transferred all of their shares in DSL to the Company, in consideration for the Company’s issuance of substantially the same securities to the Original Shareholders in exchange for the securities of DSL held by them (the “Exchange”). Prior to the Exchange, there were 16,756 ordinary shares of DSL issued and outstanding, 3,151 series A preferred shares of DSL issued and outstanding and 10,172 warrants of DSL (“DSL Private Warrants) issued and outstanding. In the Exchange, each of the securities of DSL were exchanged for substantially the same securities of the Company at an exchange ratio of one (1) ordinary share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Ordinary Shares of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), one (1) series A preferred share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Preferred Shares of the Company (“Preferred Shares”) and one (1) warrant of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) warrants of the Company (“Private Warrants”). Within these consolidated financial statements, the terms “Series A Preferred Shares” and “Preferred Shares” are used interchangeably.

 

In connection with the Exchange, the Company and security holders of DSL consummated the following transactions (the “Ancillary Transactions”):

 

(i)the Company issued $4,350,000 new convertible loan notes to certain Original Shareholders in consideration for the cancellation of the then existing convertible loan notes issued by DSL and held by such Original Shareholders. The convertible loan notes automatically converted into Ordinary Shares upon the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on 20 December 2024;
(ii)the Company granted certain share option awards under a new share option plan that was adopted by the Company to the holders of the unexercised share options granted by DSL (the “Original DSL Awards”), in consideration for the cancellation of the DSL Awards held by such holders. There was no automatic vesting of any unvested Awards upon completion of an initial public offering, the board of directors, at their discretion, do have the ability to accelerate vesting at any point; and
(iii)the Company granted certain Private Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company to the holders of the then existing DSL Private Warrants to purchase ordinary shares of DSL (the “Original Warrants”), in consideration for the cancellation of the DSL Private Warrants held by such holders.

 

Accordingly, upon consummation of the Exchange and the Ancillary Transactions (collectively the “Recapitalization”), DSL became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Original Shareholders became shareholders of the Company. The remaining DSL security holders became security holders of the Company, in that they held the Company’s convertible loan notes, Awards and Private Warrants.

 

F-9

 

 

Following the Recapitalization, on July 26, 2024, the Company completed a share subdivision (the “Share Subdivision”) such that, the authorized share capital of the Company was changed from US$50,000 divided into 480,000,000 Ordinary shares of par value US$0.0001 each, 20,000,000 Preferred shares of par value US$0.0001 each to be US$50,000 divided into 960,000,000 Ordinary Shares of US$0.00005 par value each and 40,000,000 Preferred Shares, par value US$0.00005 per share.

 

Upon completion of the Recapitalization, the Company became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Group, where both the Company and DSL operated under the common control of Rhino Ventures. The Group comprising of the Company and its subsidiaries resulting from the Recapitalization is regarded as a continuing entity, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, 2024 and 2025 have been prepared as if the Company had always been the holding company of the Group with the reserves being retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Recapitalization.

3 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

 

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.

 

For financial instruments which are transacted at fair value and a valuation technique that unobservable inputs are to be used to measure fair value in subsequent periods, the valuation technique is calibrated so that at initial recognition the results of the valuation technique equals the transaction price, where the highest level of inputs available are used in the valuation.

 

F-11

 

 

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

Material accounting policy information adopted by the Group is disclosed below.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the consolidated financial statements of DSL Group and the financial statements of the Company. The consolidated financial statements of DSL Group have been combined with those of the Company from 26 January 2024.

 

Control is achieved when the Company:

 

has power over the investee;

 

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

 

has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

 

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

 

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

 

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the ordinary equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries is attributed to the ordinary equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

 

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.

 

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

Deemed reverse acquisition

 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all deemed reverse acquisitions where in substance an operating company is acquired by a shell company where the shareholders of the operating company obtain control of the shell company.

 

With respect to the Transaction, DSL is the operating company while the Company is considered as shell company.

 

Identifying the accounting acquirer/accounting acquiree:

 

The Company is considered as the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. Control is obtained by Original Shareholders as the Company, on 15 July 2024, issued 6,869,960 Ordinary Shares and 1,291,910 Preferred Shares which allowed the Original shareholder to hold the majority of issued share capital and voting rights of the Company.

 

F-12

 

 

Determining the deemed consideration transferred:

 

The deemed consideration transferred for the deemed reverse acquisition of the Company is the fair value of the shares which DSL would have had to issue in establishing the same post transaction control structure but as if it were the legal acquirer. Given there is no change to the control structure after the Transaction, the deemed consideration is determined as $Nil.

 

Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a deemed reverse acquisition:

 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a deemed reversed acquisition are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For the Transaction, the net assets acquired from the Company are solely current account with DSL, and its carrying value approximates fair value and is considered insignificant.

 

Calculate the Transaction expense:

 

The excess of the deemed consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired from the Company is considered insignificant to be recognized as an expense under IFRS 2 in the Group’s consolidated statement of profit or loss.

 

Presentation of the consolidated financial statements post deemed reverse acquisition:

 

Under the Transaction, the Company being the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer), becomes the ultimate parent holding company of the Group, however, the consolidated financial statement represents a continuation of DSL, the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) with the exception of the legal capital structure.

 

These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements items of the combining entities, i.e. the Company and DSL Group, in which the combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities first came under the control of the substantial shareholders.

 

The net assets of the combining entities are consolidated using the existing book values from the substantial shareholder’s perspective. No amount is recognized in respect of goodwill or bargain purchase gain at the time of combination.

 

The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss includes the results of each of the combining entities from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining businesses first came under the control of the substantial shareholder, where this is a shorter period, i.e. the date of incorporation of the Company on 26 January 2024.

 

Shareholders’ equity of DSL prior to the Transaction is retrospectively adjusted as a recapitalization for the equivalent number of shares received and on a pro rata basis, together with the impact of the Share Subdivision for prior reporting periods. Accumulated losses and relevant reserves of the DSL are carried forward after the Transaction. Any difference to shareholders equity of DSL arising from the recapitalization of share capital and equity instruments issued is recorded in equity under the capital reserve.

 

Earnings per share

 

Earnings per share for periods prior to the Recapitalization are retrospectively adjusted to reflect the number of equivalent shares received by the accounting acquirer, DSL, based on the number of shares outstanding on the reporting dates multiplied by the exchange ratio. The exchange ratio being the combination of the share exchange swap of one ordinary share of DSL for 410 Ordinary Shares multiplied by a factor of two to reflect the Share Subdivision and one series A preferred share of DSL for 410 Preferred Shares multiplied by a factor of two to reflect the Share Subdivision.

 

F-13

 

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Group recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A performance obligation represents a service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct services that are substantially the same.

 

Except for granting of a license that is distinct from other promised services, control is transferred over time and revenue is recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

 

the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;
the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or
the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

 

Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct service.

 

For granting of a license that is distinct from other promised services, the nature of the Group’s promise in granting a license is a promise to provide a right to access the Group’s intellectual property if all of the following criteria are met:

 

the contract requires, or the customer reasonably expects, that the Group will undertake activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which the customer has rights;
the rights granted by the license directly expose the customer to any positive or negative effects of the Group’s activities; and
those activities do not result in the transfer of a good or a service to the customer as those activities occur.

 

If the criteria above are met, the Group accounts for the promise to grant a license as a performance obligation satisfied over time. Otherwise, the Group considers the grant of license as providing the customers the right to use the Group’s intellectual property and the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time at which the license is granted.

 

A contract asset represents the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer that is not yet unconditional. It is assessed for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. In contrast, a receivable represents the Group’s unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

 

A contract liability represents the Group’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

 

A contract asset and a contract liability relating to the same contract are accounted for and presented on a net basis.

 

Over time revenue recognition - Input method

 

The progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on input method, which is to recognize revenue on the basis of the Group’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation, that best depict the Group’s performance in transferring control of services.

 

F-14

 

 

Government grants

 

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

 

Government grants related to income that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. Government grants relating to compensation of expenses are deducted from the related expenses, other government grants are presented under “other income, gains or (losses)”.

 

Research and development expenditure

 

Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

 

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

 

The amount initially recognized for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

 

During each of the years ended 31 March 2023, 2024 and 2025, no research and development expenditure is recognized as an internally generated intangible asset.

 

Foreign currencies

 

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

 

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

 

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. USD) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of exchange reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

 

Borrowing costs

 

Borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 

F-15

 

 

Employee benefits

 

Retirement benefit costs

 

Payments made by the Group to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

 

Short-term employee benefits

 

Short-term employee benefits are recognized at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense unless another IFRSs requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.

 

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees (such as salaries and annual leave) after deducting any amount already paid.

 

Share-based payments

 

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

 

The fair value of the equity-settled share-based payments determined at the grant date without taking into consideration all non-market vesting conditions is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve). At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest based on assessment of all relevant non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in the statement of profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share option reserve. For share options that vest immediately at the date of grant, the fair value of the share options granted is expensed immediately to the statement of profit or loss.

 

When share options are exercised, the amount previously recognized in share option reserve will be transferred to share capital. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognized in share option reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

 

Taxation

 

Income tax expense (benefit) represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.

 

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

 

F-16

 

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the deferred liability is settled or the deferred asset is realized, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Lease

 

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

 

The Group as lessee

 

For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The Group applies practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease component, and instead account for the lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

 

In applying IFRS 16, the Group elected a simplified approach for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. Lease payments on short-term leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis.

 

In assessing whether a lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Group revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

 

F-17

 

 

Right-of use assets

 

The right-of-use asset is initially recognized at cost comprising of:

 

  amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
  any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
  any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and
  an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

 

Right-of-use assets in which the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying leased assets at the end of the lease term are depreciated from commencement date to the end of the useful life. Otherwise, right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.

 

The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

Lease liabilities

 

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognizes and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

 

The lease payments include:

 

  fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
  amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;
  the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and
  payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.

 

After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments. The Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) whenever:

 

  the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the date of reassessment.
  the lease payments change due to changes in market rental rates following a market rent review, in which cases the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.

 

The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

Impairment of non-financial assets

 

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

 

The recoverable amounts of relevant assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 

F-18

 

 

In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.

 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents mainly comprised of cash at different banks. The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents. As of 31 March 2025 and 2024, the Group did not have such short term investments.

 

Financial instruments

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a settlement date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with IFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

 

F-19

 

 

Financial assets

 

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

 

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

 

  the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
  the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at FVTPL.

 

Amortized cost and interest income

 

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortized cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period. If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the beginning of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit-impaired. At the end of the reporting period, trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost.

 

Financial assets at FVTPL

 

Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortized cost or Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”) or designated as FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL.

 

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss excludes any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.

 

Impairment of financial assets subject to impairment assessment under IFRS 9

 

The Group performs impairment assessment under expected credit loss (“ECL”) model on financial assets (including trade and other receivables and amounts due from an associate/shareholders/related companies) which are subject to impairment assessment under IFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

 

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“12m ECL”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

 

The Group always recognizes lifetime ECL for trade receivables.

 

For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit loss (“ECL”), unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case the Group recognizes lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognized is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

 

F-20

 

 

Derecognition of financial assets

 

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

 

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.

 

Financial liabilities and equity

 

Classification as debt or equity

 

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

 

Equity instruments

 

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

 

Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares in the IPO are accounted for as a deduction from share premium. Other offering-related costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss.

 

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

 

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, (ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL.

 

A financial liability is held for trading if:

 

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.

 

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed, and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

 

For financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

 

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

 

Financial liabilities including other payables and amounts due to an associate/related parties/directors are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

 

F-21

 

 

Redeemable Preferred shares/ convertible loan notes

 

At the date of issue, redeemable preferred shares and convertible loan notes are designated as at FVTPL with both the debt component and derivative components recognized at fair value. In subsequent period, changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss as fair value gain or loss except for changes in the fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk (excluding changes in fair value of the derivatives component) is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to the credit risk that are recognized in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss, they are transferred to retained profits upon derecognition.

 

Transaction costs relating to the issue of all these instruments are charged to profit or loss immediately.

 

Derecognition of financial liabilities

 

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

 

Related parties

 

A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group.

 

  (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:

 

  i. has control or joint control over the Group;
  ii. has significant influence over the Group; or
  iii. is a member of key management personnel of the Group or the Group’s parent.

 

  (b) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions apply:

 

  i. The entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
  ii. One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
  iii. Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
  iv. One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
  v. The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the Group or an entity related to the Group.
  vi. The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).
  vii. A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
  viii. The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Group or to the parent of the Group.

 

Current versus non-current classification

 

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when:

 

  It is expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
  It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
  It is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

 

All other assets are classified as non-current.

 

F-22

 

 

A liability is current when:

 

  It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
  It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
  There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

 

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

 

4 KEY SOURCES OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

 

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

Judgements

 

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

 

Functional currency

 

Revenue contracts, operating expenses and borrowing of the group entities are primarily in USD, and are expected to remain principally denominated in USD in the future. Management has determined USD as the Company’s functional currency and presented the consolidated financial statements in USD to meet the requirements of users.

 

Financial instruments

 

In the process of classifying a financial instrument, management has made various judgments. Judgment is needed to determine whether a financial instrument, or its component parts, on initial recognition is classified as a financial liability, a financial asset or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, a financial asset and an equity instrument. In making its judgment, management considered the detailed criteria and related guidance for the classification of financial instruments as set out in IFRS 9, in particular, whether the instrument includes a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity.

 

DSL Private Warrants, Private Warrants and IPO Warrants

 

In the process of classifying DSL Private Warrants, Private Warrants and IPO Warrants, management has made various judgments. Judgment is needed to determine whether the instrument on initial recognition is classified as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. In making its judgment, management considered the detailed criteria and related guidance for the classification of financial instruments as set out in IAS 32.

 

DSL Private Warrants, Private Warrants and IPO Warrants are classified as an equity instrument on the basis that the instruments do not include contractual obligation to deliver cash to the warrant holder, and the instruments meet the fixed-for-fixed condition by preserving the relative economic interests of the warrant holder and the Company’s shareholders.

 

F-23

 

 

Segmental reporting

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Group’s management is considered the Group’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. While the Group has revenue from multiple services and geographies, the financial position, performance and cashflow of the Group are considered by the CODM on a consolidated basis, so discrete financial information is not available for each such component. The overall financial performance of the Group is also considered as a whole.

 

As such, the Group has determined that it operates as one operating segment and one reportable segment. The Group will continue to assess the operating segments reviewed by the CODM and the associated reportable segments per IAS 8.

 

Estimation uncertainties

 

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below:

 

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

 

At the end of each reporting period, certain of the Group’s financial liabilities, including Preferred Shares, and convertible loan notes, are measured at fair value with fair value being determined based on significant unobservable inputs using valuation techniques. Judgement and estimation are required in establishing the relevant valuation techniques and the relevant inputs thereof. Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could result in material adjustments to the fair value of these instruments.

 

Provision of ECL for trade receivables

 

Trade receivables with significant balances and credit-impaired are assessed for ECL individually. In addition, for trade receivables which are individually insignificant or when the Group does not have reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to measure ECL on individual basis, collective assessment is performed by grouping debtors based on the Group’s internal credit ratings.

 

The provision of ECL is sensitive to changes in estimates.

 

Income taxes

 

The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax exposure in the period in which such determination is made.

 

Share-based payment expenses – share options awards

 

The fair value of the share option awards granted that is determined at the date of grant of the respective share options is expensed over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to the Group’s share option reserve. In assessing the fair value of the share option award, discounted cash flows and the equity allocation model were used to calculate the fair value of the share options. The discounted cash flows and the equity allocation model require the input of subjective assumptions, including discount rate, volatility of the Ordinary Shares or ordinary shares of DSL and the expected life of options. Any changes in these assumptions can significantly affect the estimate of the fair value of the share option awards.

 

Discount rate used for initial measurement of lease liability

 

The Group, as a lessee, measures the lease liability at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group on initial recognition of the lease uses its incremental borrowing rate. Incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use assets in similar economic environment.

F-25

 

 

(d)

For the year ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, significant increase in audit fees was due to the fees associated with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, 2024 and 2023 (the 2023 PCAOB audit was conducted in 2024, hence the associated costs are reflected 2024).

 

For the year ended 31 March 2023, audit fees related to local statutory audits.

9 INCOME TAX EXPENSE

 

During the year ended 31 March 2024, income tax expense of the Group represented under-provision of current tax from 2022 of a subsidiary in United States of America. There was no other current tax expense or deferred tax expense for that year.

 

There was no current or deferred tax expense for each of the years ended 31 March 2023 and 2025.

 

9.1 Current income taxes

 

Under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime of Hong Kong Profits Tax, the first HK$2 million (c.$250,000) of profits of the qualifying group entity will be taxed at 8.25%, and profits above HK$2 million (c.$250,000) will be taxed at 16.5%. The profits of group entities not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will continue to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%.

 

Taxes charged on profits assessable elsewhere have been calculated at the rates of tax prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates, based on existing legislation, interpretation and practices in respect thereof.

 

The income tax expense for the year can be reconciled to the loss for the year per the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as follows:

 

   Year ended   Year ended   Year ended 
   31 March 2025   31 March 2024   31 March 2023 
   USD   USD   USD 
Loss before taxation   (5,212,879)   (4,862,470)   (9,257,598)
                
Notional tax calculated at the rates applicable to profits in the tax jurisdictions concerned   (381,348)   (821,825)   (1,555,403)
Tax effect of expenses that are not deductible   215,019    405,775    451,111 
Tax effect of income that are not taxable   -    (676,665)   - 
Tax effect of tax losses not recognized   166,329    1,092,715    1,104,292 
Under-provision in prior years   -    8,917    - 
Income tax expense   -    8,917    - 

 

9.2 Deferred income taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax recoverable against current income tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.

 

The Group has accumulated tax losses of $22,775,852 at 31 March 2025 (2024: $21,847,422) that are available indefinitely for offsetting against future taxable profits of the respective group companies in which the losses arose. No deferred tax asset has been recognized in respect of the tax losses.

 

The ultimate realization of unused tax losses is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In determining the recognition of a deferred tax asset, management considered the future profitability of the Group. While management expects the Group to return profits in the future, there is still an element of uncertainty and as such, no deferred tax asset has been recognized.

Each Preferred Share carried a number of votes equal to that of the ordinary shares then issuable upon its conversion into ordinary shares at the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters. The holders of Preferred Shares and ordinary shares shall vote together as a single class unless it is required by applicable law or the Company’s Article of Association that Preferred Shares to vote separately as a class.

In respective of the conversion price, the conversion rate for Preferred Shares would be determined by dividing the issue price (US$2,000) per share at the time of its issuance (the “Issue Price”) by the conversion price then in effect at the date of the conversion. The initial conversion price will be the Issue Price on first Preferred Share was issued (i.e., a 1-to-1 initial conversion ratio), and such initial conversion price would be subject to adjustments to reflect stock dividends, stock splits and future capital raises at a price per share lower than the conversion price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance (the “Applicable Conversion Price”).

20 SHARE CAPITAL

 

Under a deemed reverse acquisition (as discussed in note 3), the historical shareholders’ equity of DSL, being the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) prior to the Transaction is retrospectively adjusted to reflect the legal capital structure of the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer) and the Share Subdivision. This is calculated by using the exchange ratio as determined on the completion of the Transaction being 410 shares in the Company for each DSL share and multiplying by 2 for the impact of Share subdivision. The difference in value of the share capital arising from this conversion versus the share capital amount in DSL is recorded in equity under the capital reserve.

 

The Shares of the Company have a par value of $0.00005 after the Share Subdivision.

(a)In October 2023, DSL issued 44 ordinary shares to an employee via the exercising of vested employee share options. These shares rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of DSL in all respects. These shares equate to 36,080 shares post the Recapitalization.

 

(b)On 15 July 2024, the Company completed a Share Exchange Transaction (the “Transaction”) with DSL and each of the shareholders of DSL. Prior to the Transaction, the Company had issued one founding share with a par value of USD 0.0001 and was a newly incorporated entity without material business activities, while DSL was the parent of the DSL Group. The Transaction resulted in the Company becoming the immediate holding company of DSL and DSL became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Transaction resulted in one share in DSL being exchanged for four hundred and ten (410) Ordinary Shares.

 

(c)On 26 July 2024, the authorized share capital of the Company changed to USD50,000 divided into 960,000,000 Ordinary Shares of USD0.00005 par value each and 40,000,000 Preferred Shares of USD0.00005 par value each (the “Share Subdivision”). The Share Subdivision resulted in the shareholding of each Company shareholder increasing by a multiple of two.

 

(d)In April 2024, DSL issued 44 shares to an employee via the exercising of vested employee share options. These shares rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of DSL in all respects. These shares equate to 36,080 shares post the Recapitalization.

 

(e)On May 27, 2024, DSL Group completed the Capital Raise and DSL allotted 5,086 ordinary shares and 10,172 warrants to Rhino Ventures. The warrants have a fair value of $6,653,200 and $1,346,800 being allocated to share capital with a total value recognized in reserves of $8,000,000. These shares equate to 4,170,520 shares post the Recapitalization.

 

(f)In August 2024, the Company issued 1,003,680 shares to certain employees via the exercising of vested employee share options. These shares rank pari passu with the Ordinary Shares in all respects.

 

(g)On December 20, 2024, the Company’s registration statement Form F-1 being declared effective by the SEC. This resulted in outstanding Preferred Shares converting into 2,583,820 Ordinary Shares on a 1:1 basis. All the outstanding convertible loan notes with an aggregate face value of $4,350,000 and accrued interest of $751,781, totaling $5,101,781, also converted into Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of $2.17 resulting in the issuance of 2,347,134 Ordinary Shares.

 

(h)Pursuant to a triparty loan agreement dated September 30, 2024, $3.0 million loan from Rhino Ventures was capitalized through the issuance of 731,707 Ordinary Shares.

 

(i)On January 23, 2025, the Company closed on its IPO of 2,250,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.00005 per share, at a public offering price of $4.10 per ordinary share, for total gross proceeds of $9,225,000, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other related expenses. The net proceeds amounted to $7,747,756.

 

On January 27, 2025, the Company also closed on the underwriter’s exercise of the Over-Allotment Option to purchase 337,500 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. Pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, the underwriters purchased an additional 337,500 Ordinary Shares at the public offering price of $4.10 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds of $1.38 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other related expenses. The net proceeds amounted to $1,261,969.

 

After giving effect to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the total number of Ordinary Shares sold by the Company in the IPO increased to 2,587,500 Ordinary Shares. The gross proceeds of $10,608,750 are deducted against the Deferred IPO Expenses of $1,432,343 upon the successful closing of the IPO and share capital of $130 and share premium of $9,176,277 are recognized.

 

(j)On January 23, 2025, the Company issued Rhino Ventures 6 tranches of the IPO Warrants (as defined in note 21.2) , with each tranche comprising 2,250,000 warrants, in connection with the IPO. For details, please refer to note 21.2.

 

314 ordinary shares issued by DSL in March 2022, with recapitalized amount of 257,480 Ordinary Shares, were issued with conditions. The conditions were based on the use of funds and the provision of information by DSL to the shareholder. Should any conditions not be met then there was a 30-day remediation period to resolve the issue. If such issues could not be resolved the shareholder can demand DSL to buy back the investment at the higher of the fair value of the investment or the initial investment value. Such conditions lapsed on the IPO of the Company. Following the successful closing of the IPO on January 23, 2025, the option lapsed accordingly.

21 OTHER RESERVES

 

Nature and purpose of reserves

 

21.1 Capital reserve

 

The capital reserve of $5,126,150 arose from the recapitalization of the Group with the Company’s share capital issued as part of the Transaction and the impact of the Share Subdivision. This reserve ensures that the total shareholders equity both pre- and post-Transaction and the Share Subdivision remains the same as that of the DSL Group immediately before the Transaction and Share Subdivision.

 

21.2 Warrant reserve

 

Private warrants

 

In May 2024, the Group completed the Capital Raise with its immediate holding company, Rhino Venture. As part of this transaction, DSL allotted 5,086 ordinary shares and 10,172 warrants (the “DSL Private Warrants”) to Rhino Venture, with an exercise price of $2,512 per warrant. If fully exercised, the DSL Private Warrants will result in the issuance of such number of ordinary shares equal to 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of exercise. For partial exercise, the number of shares to be issued will be determined on a prorated basis at the time of exercise.

 

Following the Transaction and Recapitalization in July 2024, the DSL Private Warrants were cancelled and the Company issued 4,170,520 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) as a replacement with an exercise price of $6.13. The Private Warrants were issued on identical terms and with the same economic benefits as the DSL Private Warrants. Post the completion of the Restructuring, there was no change to the economic position of the shareholders or warrant holders.

 

Both the Private Warrants and the DSL Private Warrants (collectively, “Both Private Warrants”) are classified as an equity instrument on the basis that they do not include contractual obligation to deliver cash to the warrant holder, and Both Private Warrants meet the fixed-for-fixed condition by preserving the relative economic interests of both the warrant holder and the Company’s shareholders. The DSL Private Warrants were initially recognized at their fair value on the date of issuance and no subsequent remeasurement is required. The binomial option-pricing model was used to determine the fair value of the DSL Private Warrants, with key inputs and assumption set out as follow:

 

 SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF PRIVATE WARRANTS

Grant date  May 28, 2024 
Time to expiry (year)   3.00 
Spot price (pre-recapitalization)  $2,252 
Risk-free rate   4.75%
Dividend yield   0.00%
Volatility   41.33%

 

Given the Private Warrants were issued as a replacement on identical terms, no additional valuation or remeasurement was required. No Private Warrants had been exercised during the year ended March 31, 2025.

 

IPO warrants

 

On January 23, 2025, the Company issued Rhino Ventures the warrants identified below in connection with the IPO. The IPO Warrants are classified as an equity instrument on the basis that they do not include contractual obligation to deliver cash to the warrant holder, and the IPO Warrants meet the fixed-for-fixed condition by preserving the relative economic interests of both the warrant holder and the Company’s shareholders. The IPO Warrants were initially recognized at their fair value on the date of issuance and no subsequent remeasurement is required.

23 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

 

DSL’s Share Option Award Scheme (the “DSL Scheme”)

 

The board of directors of DSL (the “DSL Board”) approved and adopted the DSL Scheme which outlines the grant of share option award (the “DSL Award”) to selected employees and/or consultants of the DSL Group (the “DSL Participant”) to subscribe ordinary shares of DSL (the “DSL Share”). The DSL Board may determine the DSL Participant and grant DSL Shares under the DSL Scheme not exceeding 15% of issued shares in the Company on a fully diluted basis. Purpose of the DSL Scheme is to attract and retain the best available talent for the DSL Group to benefit its business operations.

 

DSL may grant the DSL Participant an DSL Award consisting in the right to acquire or receive a certain number, or a percentage, of DSL Shares (the “DSL Ownership Stake”) determined in the DSL Scheme (each event being an “DSL Award Grant”). The DSL Award Grant shall vest after thirty-six (36) calendar months of continuous employment with, or service to, DSL or of any of its affiliates (the “DSL Vesting Date”). Unless exercised, the Award will lapse and expire after six (6) calendar months from the Vesting Date (“DSL Long Stop Date”).

 

The number of DSL Shares the DSL Participant is entitled to under an DSL Award Grant shall be determined at the DSL Vesting Date. The vesting of the DSL Award Grant shall confer to the DSL Participant the same shareholding percentage in DSL as the DSL Ownership Stake. Unless determined at the time of the DSL Award Grant, such shareholding shall be calculated based on the total number of DSL Shares issued at the DSL Vesting Date.

 

Prior to the DSL Long Stop Date, should DSL give notice of: 1) merger or acquisition or similar event involving change of control of DSL; or 2) listing of its shares on a recognized and regulated stock exchange, all DSL Awards, whether vested or unvested, shall be: 1) (i) automatically exchanged for equivalent options over or in relation to shares in the acquirer entity or listed company; or (ii) cancelled in exchange for, and automatically converted to, shares in the acquiring entity or listed company in equivalent value as the value under the DSL Award Grant, which will be locked-up for a period of 15 months from the date of change of control or listing, respectively, (the “DSL Lock-up Period”) and will be released in three (3) equal instalments over a period of six (6) months following the expiration of such DSL Lock-up Period.

 

The DSL Award Grant shall be forfeited and cancelled if before the DSL Vesting Date: (a) the DSL Participant hands in a notice of resignation; (b) the DSL Participant gives notice of termination of service; or (c) the DSL Participant’s employment or service with DSL is terminated for any reason, unless otherwise determined by the DSL Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

Diginex Limited 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Scheme”)

 

On 28 July 2024, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved and adopted the Diginex Limited 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Scheme”), which replaced the DSL Scheme, which outlines the grant of share option award (the “Award”) to selected employees and/or consultants of the Group (the “Participant”) to subscribe ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share”). The Board may determine the Participant and grant Shares under the Scheme not exceeding 5,400,000 ordinary shares. Purpose of the Scheme is to attract and retain the best available talent for the Company to benefit its business operations.

 

The Company may grant the Participant an Award consisting in the right to acquire or receive a certain number, or a percentage, of Shares (the “Ownership Stake”) determined in the Scheme (each event being an “Award Grant”). The exercise price of Shares purchasable under an Award shall be determined at the time of grant, provided that the exercise price per Share for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award shall be no less than the par value of such Share.

 

Awards vest and become exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the applicable Award Agreement, which may include the achievement of pre-established performance goals, if applicable. For Awards granted prior to the Company’s listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other stock exchange, vesting occurs on (i) the date(s) specified in the Award Agreement, (ii) after 36 months of continuous employment or service with the Company or its affiliates, or (iii) an earlier date if determined at the discretion of the Board to accelerate the vesting schedule.

 

Upon termination of employment or service, the treatment of stock options depends on the circumstances of the termination. If the termination occurs for reasons other than cause, retirement, disability, or death, vested options remain exercisable for 90 days following the termination date. This period is extended to one year if the participant passes away during the 90-day period. Unvested options, however, are forfeited immediately upon termination. In all cases, options cannot be exercised beyond their original expiration date. For terminations due to retirement, disability, or death, vested options remain exercisable for one year from the termination date, subject to their original expiration date. Unvested options are forfeited immediately upon termination. If the termination is for cause, all options, whether vested or unvested, are forfeited immediately.

The fair value of the Awards granted is estimated at the grant date using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) and equity allocation model (“EAM”). The following table lists the inputs to those models at respective grant date:

 

Dates of fair value  Valuation approach  Discount rate   Terminal growth rate   Lack of marketability discount   Lack of control discount   Volatility 
1-Apr-2022  DCF & EAM   17%   3%   15%   20%   41.16%
25-May-2022  DCF & EAM   17%   3%   15%   20%   41.16%
30-Sep-2022  DCF & EAM   17%   3%   15%   20%   44.16%
31-Mar-2023  DCF & EAM   17%   3%   15%   20%   46.62%
30-Sep-2023  DCF & EAM   18%   3%   10%   20%   42.41%
31-Jul-2024  DCF & EAM   16%   3%   3%   20%   38.16%

 

The equity value at 100% basis is determined using DCF method based on the estimates of cash flows as of the grant date discounted using an appropriate discount rate, having considered relevant risk factors. Volatility is determined based on the average annualized standard deviation of the historical stock prices of listed comparable companies.

26 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

26.1 Market risk factors

 

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidation risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance.

 

The risks are minimized by the financial management policies and practices described below.

 

26.1.2 Foreign currency risk

 

The Group operates primarily in USD and HKD, albeit there is an increasing exposure to GBP. Given USD and HKD are pegged within a range, the Group had a reduced exposure to foreign currency risk during the year. Given the increasing exposure to other currencies, the Group will formalize a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. The Group monitors its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure to manage the risk. The material balance sheet items are denominated in USD and as such no sensitivity analysis on the impact of foreign exchange movements has been performed.

 

26.1.3 Interest rate risk

 

The Group has minimal interest rate risk because there are no significant borrowings at variable interest rates. The Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated. The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk relates primarily to variable-rate bank balances. The exposure to the interest rate risk for variable rate bank balances is insignificant as the bank balances have a short maturity period.

 

26.2 Credit risk

 

The Group has exposure to credit risk arising from deposits in banks as well as trade receivables. Credit risk is managed on a Group basis.

 

The amount of the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the amount of the Group’s carrying value of the related financial assets and liabilities as of the end of the reporting period.

 

26.2.1 Deposits with bank

 

With respect to the Group’s deposits with banks, the Group limits its exposure to credit risk by placing deposits with financial institutions with high credit ratings and no recent history of default. Given the high credit ratings of the banks, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. Management will continue to monitor the position and will take appropriate action if their ratings are changed. As at 31 March 2025 and 2024, the Group had a concentration of deposits with one bank but does have additional banking relationships to mitigate any concentration risk.

 

F-43

 

 

26.3 Liquidity risk

 

26.3.1 Financing arrangement

 

The Group monitors its cash position on a regular basis and manages cash and cash equivalents to finance the Group’s operations. The Group has been primarily financed via the proceeds from the issuance of equity, issuance of convertible loan notes and access to a shareholder loan together with proceeds from the IPO.

 

26.3.2 Maturities of financial liabilities

 

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the end of each financial reporting period to the contractual maturity dates. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

26.4 Capital risk

 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maximize the return to the shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

 

The Group manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may issue new shares or other instruments. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31 March 2025 and 2024.

 

26.5 Fair values measurements

 

26.5.1 Fair value hierarchy

 

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments and non-financial assets into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level is set out in Note 3. There is no transfer between level 1, 2 or 3 during both years.

Convertible loan notes   -    3,743,000 

 

26.5.2 Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

 

Below lists the valuation techniques and key inputs used by the Group to value its Level 3 financial instruments. There has been no change in valuation technique during the year ended 31 March 2025 and 2024.

   Valuation techniques and key inputs
Preferred shares
(Note 1)
   -   $9,359,000   The Discounted Cash Flows (“DCF”) method was used to determine the total equity value of the Group by capturing the present value of the expected cash flows.
 
The equity allocation model was then used to allocate the total equity value of the Group to different classes of shares of the Company.
              
Convertible loan notes
(Note 2)
   -   $3,743,000   Binomial Option Pricing Model

 

Notes:

 

1.An increase in the revenue growth rate used in isolation would result in an increase in the fair value measurement of the preferred shares, and vice versa, while a slight increase in the discount rate used in isolation would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement of the preferred shares, and vice versa. As of 31 March 2024, a 1% (2025: N/A) increase in the discount rate holding all other variables constant would decrease the carry amount of the preferred shares by $0.9 million (2025: N/A) while a 1% (2025: N/A) decrease in the discount rate holding all other variables constant would increase the carry amount of the preferred shares by $1.1 million (2025: N/A). A 1% (2025: N/A) increase in the revenue growth rate holding all other variables constant would increase the carry amount of the preferred shares by $0.6 million (2025: N/A) while a 1% (2025: N/A) decrease in the discount rate holding all other variables constant would decrease the carry amount of the preferred shares by $0.6 million (2025: N/A).

 

2.A 1% increase in the discount rate used in isolation would result in a minimal decrease in the fair value measurement of the convertible loan notes, and vice versa.

On May 6, 2025, Rhino Ventures sold the tranches 4, 5 and 6 of the IPO Warrants to Nomas Global Investments-LLC-S.P.C for consideration of $300 million. Rhino Ventures received a promissory note for $50 million upon sale and will receive $250 million at December 31, 2025.

     
 

The Group entered into two new lease agreements to provide additional workspace for the Group’s expanding operations in UK and HK:

 

 

An 18-month office lease in the United Kingdom, commencing in April 2025, with monthly rent of GBP3,782 (approximate: $5,105). Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities would be recognized for the lease in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases.

     
  A one-year office lease in Hong Kong, commencing in June 2025, with monthly rent of HK$52,000 (approximately: $6,625). Given the lease has a lease term of 12 months, the lease would be accounted for as a short-term lease and the Group would recognize the lease payments as an expense over the lease term.

 

  On May 23, 2025, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding (the “Matter MOU”) to acquire Matter DK ApS (“Matter”) in an all share acquisition. Matter is an innovative ESG data company focused on delivering sustainability data and analytics solutions to the investment industry and helping financial institutions understand and communicate the sustainability of investments. Matter is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Matter MOU values the equity of Matter at $13 million which will be paid through the issuance of the Company’s ordinary shares valued at the 60-trading day trailing VWAP (volume weighted average price) as of May 23, 2025, and such shares issued to Matter will subject to an 18-month lock-up period. Target executives and key employees will also receive $2.5 million of Diginex shares with 50% released after 18 months following 12 months of good service and 50% after 30 months following 24 months of good service.

 

  On May 23, 2025, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Matter (the “Matter Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan Matter EUR 250,000, as follows: (1) EUR 150,000 (approximately: $175,500) within 3 business days of the signing of the Matter MOU, (2) EUR 50,000 (approximately: $58,500) within 30 days following the signing of the Matter MOU, and (3) EUR 50,000 (approximately: $58,500) within 60 days following the signing of the Matter MOU. The loan principal shall accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum. Matter shall repay all amounts outstanding under the Matter Loan Agreement together with all accrued interest only if the Company fails to acquire 100% of the share capital of Matter under permitted reasons set forth in the Matter MOU. Repayment will be due 60 days after notification from the Company that they will not proceed with the acquisition of Matter.
     
  On June 5, 2025, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding (the “Resulticks MOU”) for an acquisition of Resulticks Global Companies Pte. Limited (“Resulticks”) for shares and cash.

  The Resulticks MOU values Resulticks at $2 billion which will be paid by the Company in three tranches: (1) $1.4 billion in the Company’s ordinary shares valued at $72 per share and subject to a 12-18 month lock-up. Shares will be issued at closing of the transaction; (2) $100 million in cash that is payable by the Company within 90 days of the closing of the transaction; and (3) an earnout of up to $500 million payable in the Company’s ordinary shares valued at $72 per share and paid in 3 independent tranches subject to Resulticks attaining at least 75% of the below audited EBITDA threshold figures:

*Resulticks shall receive a pro rated portion of the Earnout Amount provided Resulticks achieves between 75% and 100% of the EBITDA Threshold.

 

  On June 23, 2025, the Company entered into a funding agreement with Resulticks. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company has agreed to provide Resulticks with funding of up to $11,000,000, to be disbursed in tranches as mutually agreed between the parties. The funding is intended to be completed by 11 July 2025 and will be offset against the proposed $200 million post-acquisition funding, if the acquisition proceeds. In the event that (a) the parties mutually determine not to proceed with the acquisition, or (b) the parties fail to enter into a definitive agreement by July 28, 2025 (or such later date as may be mutually agreed) (each a “Deal Failure”), any amounts disbursed under the funding arrangement will become repayable within 45 calendar days of a Deal Failure and will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, effective from the date of initial disbursement until repayment.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime, or against the indemnified person’s own fraud or dishonesty. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provide to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each existing or former secretary, director (including alternate director), and any of our other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against: (a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and (b) without limitation to paragraph (a) above, all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own dishonesty, fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

 

To the extent permitted by the Companies Act, we may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or any of our officers in respect of any matter identified in above on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by us to the extent that it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), the secretary or that officer for those legal costs. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

On April 25,2024, DSL issued 44 ordinary shares to Gerard Coenen Gajardo following the exercise of employee share options for consideration of $0.00

 

On May 28, 2023, DSL agreed to an $8,000,000 share subscription agreement with Rhino Ventures Limited and on September 28, 2023 executed a subscription agreement (the “RVL Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the RVL Subscription Agreement, DSL issued Rhino Ventures Limited 5,086 ordinary shares and 10,172 warrants in exchange for $8.0 million dollars. The warrants will be exercisable for ordinary shares of DSL for a period of three years from the date they are issued and shall be exercisable at a per warrant price of US$2,512. Post the completion of the Restructuring and Share Subdivision, the number of warrant issued was adjusted to 4,170,520 with a price per warrant of US$6.13. The warrants, if fully exercised, will result in the issuance of such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 51% of the then total and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the warrants being exercised. This will be prorated for partial exercise of warrants. Rhino Ventures Limited paid the subscription price by the payment of $6.1 million in cash and the conversion of $1.9 million of debt due to Rhino Ventures Limited. The RVL Subscription Agreement also activated an anti-dilution clause in the Articles of Association of DSL which resulted in HBM IV, Inc. being issued 151 Preferred Shares for zero consideration. This increased HBM IV, Inc.’s holding to 3,151 Preferred Shares in DSL.

 

The Restructuring

 

On July 15, 2024, Diginex Limited and Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited (“DSL”) completed a restructuring pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), whereby the then existing shareholders of DSL (the “Original Shareholders”) transferred all of their shares in DSL to Diginex Limited, in consideration for Diginex Limited’s issuance of the same class of securities to such shareholders (the “Exchange”). Prior to the Exchange there were 16,756 ordinary shares of DSL issued and outstanding and 3,151 preferred shares of DSL issued and outstanding and 10,172 warrants issued and outstanding. In the Exchange, each of the securities of DSL were exchanged for securities of Diginex Limited at an exchange ratio of one (1) Ordinary Share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) shares of Diginex Limited, one (1) Preferred Share of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) Preferred Shares of Diginex Limited and one (1) warrant of DSL for four hundred and ten (410) warrants of Diginex Limited.

 

II-2

 

 

In connection with the Exchange, Diginex Limited and security holders of DSL consummated the following transactions (the “Ancillary Transactions”): (i) Diginex Limited issued $4.3 million new convertible loan notes to certain Original Shareholders in consideration for the cancellation of the then existing convertible loan notes issued by DSL and held by such Original Shareholders; (ii) Diginex Limited granted certain share options under the share option plan that was adopted by Diginex Limited to the holders of the unexercised share options granted by DSL (the “Original Share Options”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Share Options held by such holders. At time of Restructuring there were 629,760 vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options exercisable for such number of Ordinary Shares equal to 1.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at time of vesting and (iii) Diginex Limited granted certain warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited to the holders of the then existing warrants to purchase ordinary shares of DSL (the “Original Warrants”), in consideration for the cancellation of the Original Warrants held by such holders. The convertible loan notes will automatically convert into Ordinary Shares of Diginex Limited upon the effectiveness of this registration statement and whilst there is no automatic vesting of any unvested share options upon completion of the IPO the board of directors, at their discretion, do have the ability to accelerate vesting at any point. The board of directors approved and authorized the acceleration of the vesting of the unvested share options to January 23, 2026. The fair value of all unvested ESOP as of the date of this registration statement is $2.2 million of which $1.0 million has been recognized in the financial statements at March 31, 2025.

 

We believe that the offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in the preceding paragraphs were exempt from registration either (a) under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in that the transactions were between an issuer and sophisticated investors or members of its senior executive management and did not involve any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2), (b) under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act in that offers, sales and issuances were not made to persons in the United States and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States, or (c) under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act in that the transactions were underwritten compensatory benefit plans or written compensatory contracts.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however, that:

 

Paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-4

 

 

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished, provided that the Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

(i) Each prospectus filed by a Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(i) That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

 

January 21, 2025

 

Dominari Securities LLC

725 Fifth Avenue, 23rd Floor

New York, NY 10022

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned, Diginex Limited, a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), hereby confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with Dominari Securities LLC (the “Representative”), and with the other underwriters named on Schedule 1 hereto for which the Representative is acting as representative (the Representative and such other underwriters being collectively called the “Underwriters” and, individually, an “Underwriter”) as follows:

 

1. Purchase and Sale of Shares.

 

1.1. Firm Shares.

 

1.1.1. Purchase of Firm Shares. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters, severally and not jointly, and the Underwriters agree to purchase from the Company, severally and not jointly, an aggregate of 2,250,000 ordinary shares (individually a “Firm Share” and collectively, the “Firm Shares”) of the Company, par value $0.00005 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) as set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule 1 hereto, at a purchase price (net of discounts and commissions) of $3.8335 per Firm Share, being equal to 93.5% of the public offering price of the Firm Shares. The Firm Shares are to be offered initially to the public at the offering price of $4.10, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof).

 

1.1.2. Payment and Delivery. Delivery and payment for the Firm Shares shall be made at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second (2nd) Business Day (as defined below) following the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof) (or the third (3rd) Business Day following the Effective Date if the Registration Statement is declared effective after 4:00 p.m., New York City time), or at such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company, at the offices of Robinson & Cole LLP, (the “Representative’s Counsel”), or at such other place (or remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company. The date of delivery and payment for the Firm Shares is called the “Closing Date.” Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made on the Closing Date by wire transfer in federal (same day) funds, payable to the order of the Company upon delivery to the Representative of certificates (in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative) representing the Firm Shares (or through the full, fast transfer facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)) for the account of the Underwriters. The Firm Shares shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Representative may request in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall not be obligated to sell or deliver the Firm Shares except upon tender of payment by the Representative for all of the Firm Shares. The term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or any other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York, New York, are authorized or required by law to remain closed; provided, however, that, for clarification, commercial banks shall not be deemed to be authorized or required by law to remain closed due to “stay at home,” “shelter-in-place,” “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority, so long as the electronic funds transfer systems (including for wire transfers) of commercial banks in The City of New York, New York, are generally open for use by customers on such day.

 

1.2. Over-Allotment Option.

 

1.2.1. Option Shares. For the purpose only of covering any over-allotments in connection with the distribution and sale of the Firm Shares, the Company hereby grants to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 337,500 additional Ordinary Shares, representing fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of Ordinary Shares offered in the offering (the “Option Shares”), from the Company (the “Over-Allotment Option”). No Option Shares shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm Shares previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase the Option Shares, or any portion thereof, may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the Representative to the Company. The purchase price to be paid per Option Share shall be equal to the price per Firm Share set forth in Section 1.1.1 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are hereinafter referred to together as the “Public Securities.” The offering and sale of the Public Securities is herein referred to as the “Offering.”

 

1.2.2. Exercise of Option. The Over-Allotment Option granted pursuant to Section 1.2.1 hereof may be exercised by the Underwriters as to all (at any time) or any part (from time to time) of the Option Shares within 45 days after the Closing Date. The Underwriters shall not be under any obligation to purchase any Option Shares prior to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Over-Allotment Option granted hereby may be exercised by the giving of oral notice to the Company by the Underwriters, which must be confirmed no later than the next business day by electronic mail setting forth the number of Option Shares to be purchased and the date and time for delivery of and payment for the Option Shares (the “Option Closing Date”), which shall not be later than five (5) full Business Days after the date of the electronic confirmation notice or such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters, at the offices of Robinson & Cole LLP or at such other place (including remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters. If such delivery and payment for the Option Shares does not occur on the Closing Date, the Option Closing Date will be as set forth in the notice. The Underwriters may cancel any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option at any time prior to the Option Closing Date by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company. Upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option with respect to all or any portion of the Option Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall become obligated to sell to the Underwriters the number of Option Shares specified in such notice and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters , acting severally and not jointly, shall purchase the number of Option Shares specified in such notice.

 

1.2.3. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Option Shares shall be made on the Option Closing Date by wire transfer in federal (same day) funds, payable to the order of the Company upon delivery to the Representative of certificates (in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative) representing the Option Shares (or through the facilities of DTC) for the account of the Underwriters. The Option Shares shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Representative may request in writing at least two (2) full Business Days prior to the Option Closing Date. The Company shall not be obligated to sell or deliver the Option Shares except upon tender of payment by the Representative for applicable Option Shares. The Option Closing Date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the Closing Date; and in the event that such time and date are simultaneous with the Closing Date, the term “Closing Date” shall refer to the time and date of delivery of the Firm Shares and Option Shares.

 

 

 

 

1.3 Advisory Fee. The Company agrees to pay the Underwriters an advisory fee in connection with the Offering in the amount of $50,000. The Underwriters hereby confirm the receipt of such advisory fee.

 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Underwriters as of the Applicable Time (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof), as of the Closing Date and as of the Option Closing Date, if any, as follows:

 

2.1. Filing of Registration Statement.

 

Pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement, and any amendment or amendments thereto, on Form F-1 (File No. 333-282027), including any related prospectus or prospectuses, for the registration of the Public Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which registration statement and amendment or amendments have been prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the “Securities Act Regulations”). The conditions for use of Form F-1, as set forth in the General Instructions to such Form, to register the Public Securities under the Securities Act have been satisfied. Except as the context may otherwise require, such registration statement, as amended, on file with the Commission at the time the registration statement became effective (including the Preliminary Prospectus (as defined below) included in the registration statement, financial statements, schedules, exhibits and all other documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein and all information deemed to be a part thereof as of the Effective Date pursuant to Rule 430A of the Securities Act Regulations (the “Rule 430A Information”)), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement.” If the Company files any registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act Regulations, then after such filing, the term “Registration Statement” shall include such registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b).

 

Each prospectus used prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and each prospectus that omitted the Rule 430A Information that was used after such effectiveness and prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, is herein called a “Preliminary Prospectus.” The Preliminary Prospectus, subject to completion, dated January 13, 2025, that was included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus.” The prospectus, in the form in which it is to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), or, if the prospectus is not to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), the prospectus in the form included as part of the Registration Statement at the time the Registration Statement became effective, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” Any reference to the “most recent Preliminary Prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to the latest Preliminary Prospectus included in the Registration Statement.

5.3.1. Contribution Rights. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or 5.2 in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and each of the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the Offering; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to such Offering of the Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discount and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company through the Representative by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Underwriters’ Information. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.3.1 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to above in this Section 5.3.1 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 5.3.1, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.3.1 no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total discount and commission received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

 

 

 

5.3.2. Contribution Procedure. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by any party to this Agreement (or its representative) of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such party will, if a claim for contribution in respect thereof is to be made against another party (“contributing party”), notify the contributing party of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the contributing party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any other party other than for contribution hereunder. In case any such action, suit or proceeding is brought against any party, and such party notifies a contributing party or its representative of the commencement thereof within the aforesaid 15 days, the contributing party will be entitled to participate therein with the notifying party and any other contributing party similarly notified. Any such contributing party shall not be liable to any party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution without the written consent of such contributing party. The contribution provisions contained in this Section 5.3.2 are intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 5.3 are several and in proportion to their respective underwriting obligation, and not joint.

 

6. Default by an Underwriter.

 

6.1. Default Not Exceeding 10% of Firm Shares or Option Shares. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase the Firm Shares or the Option Shares, if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised hereunder, and if the number of the Firm Shares or Option Shares with respect to which such default relates does not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Option Shares that all Underwriters have agreed to purchase hereunder, then such Firm Shares or Option Shares to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder.

 

6.2. Default Exceeding 10% of Firm Shares or Option Shares. In the event that the default addressed in Section 6.1 relates to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, the Representative may in its discretion arrange for itself or for another party or parties to purchase such Firm Shares or Option Shares to which such default relates on the terms contained herein. If, within one (1) Business Day after such default relating to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of such Firm Shares or Option Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of one (1) Business Day within which to procure another party or parties satisfactory to the Representative to purchase said Firm Shares or Option Shares on such terms. In the event that neither the Representative nor the Company arrange for the purchase of the Firm Shares or Option Shares to which a default relates as provided in this Section 6, this Agreement will automatically be terminated by the Representative or the Company without liability on the part of the Company (except as provided in Sections 3.10 and 8.3 hereof with respect to the Underwriter’s expenses), or the several Underwriters; provided, however, that if such default occurs with respect to the Option Shares, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Shares; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the other Underwriters and to the Company for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall excuse a default by the Representative (in its capacity as an Underwriter) in its obligations to purchase the Firm Shares or the Option Shares, if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised hereunder.

 

6.3. Postponement of Closing Date. In the event that the Firm Shares or Option Shares to which the default relates are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters, or are to be purchased by another party or parties as aforesaid, the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or Option Closing Date for a reasonable period, but not in any event exceeding five (5) Business Days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that in the opinion of counsel to the Underwriters may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 6 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Firm Shares or Option Shares.

 

7. Additional Covenants.

 

7.1. Board Composition and Board Designations. The Company shall ensure that: (i) the qualifications of the persons serving as members of the Board of Directors and the overall composition of the Board of Directors comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Exchange Act and the listing rules of the Exchange or any other national securities exchange, as the case may be, in the event the Company seeks to have its Public Securities listed on another exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system; and (ii) if applicable, at least one member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined under Regulation S-K and the listing rules of the Exchange.

 

7.2. Prohibition on Press Releases and Public Announcements. The Company shall not issue press releases or engage in any other publicity, without the Representative’s prior written consent, for a period ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City, New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day following the fortieth (40th) day after the Closing Date, other than normal and customary releases issued in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.

 

8. Effective Date of this Agreement and Termination Thereof.

 

8.1. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective when both the Company and the Representative have executed the same and delivered counterparts of such signatures to the other party.

 

8.2. Termination. The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to any Closing Date: (i) if any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the Representative’s reasonable opinion will in the immediate future materially disrupt, general securities markets in the United States; or (ii) if trading on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required by FINRA or by order of the Commission or any other government authority having jurisdiction; or (iii) if the United States shall have become involved in a new war or an escalation in major hostilities; or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by a New York State or federal authority; or (v) if a moratorium on foreign exchange trading has been declared which materially adversely impacts the United States securities markets; or (vi) if the Company shall have sustained a material loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, will, in the Representative’s opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Firm Shares or Option Shares; or (vii) if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder; or (viii) if the Representative shall have become aware after the date hereof of a Material Adverse Change, or an adverse material change in general market conditions as in the Representative’s judgment would make it impracticable to proceed with the Offering, sale and/or delivery of the Public Securities or to enforce contracts made by the Underwriters for the sale of the Public Securities.

 

 

 

 

8.3. Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of a default by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6.2 above, in the event that this Agreement shall not be carried out for any reason whatsoever, within the time specified herein or any extensions thereof pursuant to the terms herein, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Underwriters their actual accountable expenses related to the transactions contemplated herein then incurred, up to $250,000, provided, however, that such expense cap in no way limits or impairs the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement. Such expenses amount shall cover the Underwriters’ accountable expenses for the Offering, including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, but not limited to, travel communication, third party and legal counsel expenses) in connection with the performance of its services hereunder, regardless of whether the Offering is consummated and the Closing occurs.

 

8.4. Survival of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, any election hereunder or any termination of this Agreement, and whether or not this Agreement is otherwise carried out, the provisions of Section 5 shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be in any way affected by, such election or termination or failure to carry out the terms of this Agreement or any part hereof.

 

8.5. Representations, Warranties, Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements by the Company contained in this Agreement (except for Section 6.2) or in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or (ii) delivery of and payment for the Public Securities.

 

9. Miscellaneous.

 

9.1. Notices. All communications hereunder, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing and shall be mailed (registered or certified mail, return receipt requested), personally delivered or sent by electronic mail and confirmed and shall be deemed given when so delivered or emailed and confirmed or if mailed, two (2) days after such mailing.

EXHIBIT A

 

Lock-Up Agreement

 

[____], 2024

 

Dominari Securities LLC

725 Fifth Avenue, 23rd Floor

New York, NY 10022

Attention: Eric Newman

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This Lock-Up Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being delivered to Dominari Securities LLC (the “Underwriter”) in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Diginex Limited, a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), and the Underwriter, relating to the proposed public offering (the “Offering”) of Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00005 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company. Unless defined herein, capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

 

In order to induce the Underwriter to continue its efforts in connection with the Offering, and in light of the benefits that the offering of the Ordinary Shares will confer upon the undersigned in his/her/its capacity as a shareholder and/or an officer, director or employee of the Company, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Underwriter that, during the period beginning on and including the date of this Agreement through and including the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Underwriter, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, any Ordinary Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (including, without limitation, Ordinary Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and as the same may be amended or supplemented on or after the date hereof from time to time (the “Securities Act”) (such shares, the “Beneficially Owned Shares”) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or (iii) engage in any short selling of the Ordinary Shares.

 

If (i) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results or becomes aware that material news or a material event will occur during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the restrictions imposed by this Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of such material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Underwriter waives, in writing, such extension.

 

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company: (i) Underwriter agrees that, at least three (3) business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Ordinary Shares, Underwriter will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver; and (ii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two (2) business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by Underwriter hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two (2) business days after the publication date of such press release; provided, that such press release is not a condition to the release of the aforementioned lock-up provisions due to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. The provisions of this paragraph will also not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration, and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of such transfer.

 

The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to:

 

(i) any transfers made by the undersigned: (a) as a bona fide gift to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, (b) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned, (c) as a bona fide gift to a charity or educational institution, or (d) if the undersigned is or was an officer, director or employee of the Company, to the Company pursuant to the Company’s right of repurchase upon termination of the undersigned’s service with the Company; or

 

(ii) transfers consented to, in writing by Underwriter; provided however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (i) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Representative of the Underwriters, acting on behalf of the Underwriters, not later than one (1) business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to Underwriter. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned.

 

The undersigned further agrees that (i) it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand or request for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of any Ordinary Shares or other Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or other Beneficially Owned Shares, and (ii) the Company may, with respect to any Ordinary Shares or other Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or other Beneficially Owned Shares owned or held (of record or beneficially) by the undersigned, cause the transfer agent or other registrar to enter stop transfer instructions and implement stop transfer procedures with respect to such securities during the Lock-Up Period. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the restrictions contained in this paragraph shall not apply to such Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares the undersigned holds or to hold, subject to certain exceptions and restrictions, if any, as set forth in Schedule A.

 

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement has been duly authorized (if the undersigned is not a natural person), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned. This Agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

 

 

 

 

This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (1) either the Underwriter, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, advising the other in writing, they have determined not to proceed with the Offering, (2) termination of the Underwriting Agreement before the sale of any Ordinary Shares, (3) the withdrawal of the Registration Statement, or (4) the Offering has not closed by the termination date of the Offering or such other date as may be agreed as the final date of the Offering if the Company and the Underwriter extend the Offering.

 

If the Underwriter provides written consent to any officers, directors or holders of the Company’s outstanding share capital who is a party to a lock-up agreement (the “Subject Lock-Up Agreement”) that is substantially the same as this Agreement and delivered together with this Agreement to the Underwriter in connection with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Subject Lock-Up Party”), to release or waive the lock-up restrictions provided hereunder with respect to all or any portion of such Subject Lock-Up Party’s Ordinary Shares (or securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares), then the Company shall notify the undersigned that a certain number of Ordinary Shares (or securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares) held by the undersigned are released from the lock-up restrictions provided under this Agreement determined by multiplying (a) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by the undersigned subject to this Agreement as of the Effective Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), by (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares held by the Subject Lock-Up Party released or waived upon the Underwriter’s written consent, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares held by the Subject Lock-Up Party subject to the Subject Lock-Up Agreement as of the Effective Date.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

(a)the Members holding not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of that class consent in writing to the variation; or

 

(b)the variation is made with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the Members holding the issued Shares of that class.

 

For the purpose of Article 2.9(b), all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings apply, mutatis mutandis, to every such separate meeting except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more persons holding, or representing by proxy, not less than one third of the issued Shares of the class.

 

7

 

 

2.10For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such classes of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

 

Effect of new Share issue on existing class rights

 

2.11Unless the terms on which a class of Shares was issued state otherwise, the rights conferred on the Member holding Shares of any class shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with the existing Shares of that class. The rights attached to, or otherwise conferred upon the holders of, the Shares of any class shall not be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation or issue of Preferred Shares with preferred or other rights prescribed according to Article 2.20 including, without limitation, the creation of Shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights

8

 

 

(b)a Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Act.

 

2.16Nothing in Article 2.15 prevents an allotment of Shares as Fully Paid Up bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share and Shares allotted as Fully Paid Up bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share shall be treated as Treasury Shares.

Register of Members

 

2.18The Directors shall keep or cause to be kept a register of Members as required by the Act and may cause the Company to maintain one or more branch registers as contemplated by the Act, provided that where the Company is maintaining one or more branch registers, the Directors shall ensure that a duplicate of each branch register is kept with the Company’s principal register of Members and updated within such number of days of any amendment having been made to such branch register as may be required by the Act.

 

2.19The title to Shares listed on a Designated Stock Exchange may be evidenced and transferred in accordance with the laws applicable to the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange and, for these purposes, the register of Members may be maintained in accordance with section 40B of the Act.

3Share certificates

 

Issue of share certificates

 

3.1A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. If the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued, upon being entered in the register of Members as the holder of a Share, the Directors may issue to any Member:

 

(a)without payment, one certificate for all the Shares of each class held by that Member (and, upon transferring a part of the Member’s holding of Shares of any class, to a certificate for the balance of that holding); and

 

(b)upon payment of such reasonable sum as the Directors may determine for every certificate after the first, several certificates each for one or more of that Member’s Shares.

 

3.2Every certificate shall specify the number, class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and whether they are Fully Paid Up or Partly Paid Up. A certificate may be executed under seal or executed in such other manner as the Directors determine.

 

3.3Every certificate shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the U.S. Securities Act (to the extent applicable).

 

3.4The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by several persons and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

 

Renewal of lost or damaged share certificates

(a)evidence;

 

(b)indemnity;

 

(c)payment of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating the evidence; and

 

(d)payment of a reasonable fee, if any for issuing a replacement share certificate,

 

11

 

 

as the Directors may determine, and (in the case of defacement or wearing-out) on delivery to the Company of the old certificate.

 

4Lien on Shares

 

Nature and scope of lien

 

4.1The Company has a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether Fully Paid Up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others). The lien is for all monies payable to the Company by the Member or the Member’s estate:

 

(a)either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a Member; and

 

(b)whether or not those monies are presently payable.

 

4.2At any time the Board may declare any Share to be wholly or partly exempt from the provisions of this Article.

 

Company may sell Shares to satisfy lien

 

4.3The Company may sell any Shares over which it has a lien if all of the following conditions are met:

 

(a)the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable;

 

(b)the Company gives notice to the Member holding the Share (or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of that Member) demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold; and

 

(c)that sum is not paid within fourteen (14) Clear Days after that notice is deemed to be given under these Articles,

 

and Shares to which this Article 4.3 applies shall be referred to as Lien Default Shares.

 

4.4The Lien Default Shares may be sold in such manner as the Board determines.

 

4.5To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Directors shall incur no personal liability to the Member concerned in respect of the sale.

 

12

 

 

Authority to execute instrument of transfer

 

4.6To give effect to a sale, the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Lien Default Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser.

 

4.7The title of the transferee of the Lien Default Shares shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in respect of the sale.

 

Consequences of sale of Shares to satisfy lien

 

4.8On a sale pursuant to the preceding Articles:

 

(a)the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of those Lien Default Shares; and

 

(b)that person shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the certificate (if any) for those Lien Default Shares.

 

4.9Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4.8, such person shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which, at the date of sale, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those Lien Default Shares. That person shall also be liable to pay interest on those monies from the date of sale until payment at the rate at which interest was payable before that sale or, failing that, at the Default Rate. The Board may waive payment wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the Lien Default Shares at the time of sale or for any consideration received on their disposal.

 

Application of proceeds of sale

 

4.10The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable. Any residue shall be paid to the person whose Lien Default Shares have been sold:

 

(a)if no certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, at the date of the sale; or

 

(b)if a certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, upon surrender to the Company of that certificate for cancellation

 

but, in either case, subject to the Company retaining a like lien for all sums not presently payable as existed on the Lien Default Shares before the sale.

5Calls on Shares and forfeiture

 

Power to make calls and effect of calls

 

5.1Subject to the terms of allotment, the Board may make calls on the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares including any premium. The call may provide for payment to be by instalments. Subject to receiving at least 14 Clear Days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made, each Member shall pay to the Company the amount called on his Shares as required by the notice.

 

5.2Before receipt by the Company of any sum due under a call, that call may be revoked in whole or in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or in part. Where a call is to be paid in instalments, the Company may revoke the call in respect of all or any remaining instalments in whole or in part and may postpone payment of all or any of the remaining instalments in whole or in part.

 

5.3A Member on whom a call is made shall remain liable for that call notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made. He shall not be liable for calls made after he is no longer registered as Member in respect of those Shares.

 

Time when call made

 

5.4A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising the call was passed.

 

Liability of joint holders

 

5.5Members registered as the joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of the Share.

 

Interest on unpaid calls

 

5.6If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid:

 

(a)at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the Share or in the notice of the call; or

 

(b)if no rate is fixed, at the Default Rate.

 

The Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

 

14

 

 

Deemed calls

 

5.7Any amount payable in respect of a Share, whether on allotment or on a fixed date or otherwise, shall be deemed to be payable as a call. If the amount is not paid when due the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if the amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

 

Power to accept early payment

 

5.8The Company may accept from a Member the whole or a part of the amount remaining unpaid on Shares held by him although no part of that amount has been called up.

 

Power to make different arrangements at time of issue of Shares

 

5.9Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make arrangements on the issue of Shares to distinguish between Members in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their Shares.

 

Notice of default

 

5.10If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than 14 Clear Days’ notice requiring payment of:

 

(a)the amount unpaid;

 

(b)any interest which may have accrued; and

 

(c)any expenses which have been incurred by the Company due to that person’s default.

 

5.11The notice shall state the following:

 

(a)the place where payment is to be made; and

 

(b)a warning that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

Forfeiture or surrender of Shares

 

5.12If the notice given pursuant to Article 5.10 is not complied with, the Directors may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any Share the subject of that notice be forfeited. The forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture. Despite the foregoing, the Board may determine that any Share the subject of that notice be accepted by the Company as surrendered by the Member holding that Share in lieu of forfeiture.

 

15

 

 

Disposal of forfeited or surrendered Share and power to cancel forfeiture or surrender

 

5.13A forfeited or surrendered Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Board determine either to the former Member who held that Share or to any other person. The forfeiture or surrender may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit at any time before a sale, re-allotment or other disposition. Where, for the purposes of its disposal, a forfeited or surrendered Share is to be transferred to any person, the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share to the transferee. The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any Share in accordance with the Act.

 

Effect of forfeiture or surrender on former Member

 

5.14On forfeiture or surrender:

 

(a)the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of those Shares and that person shall cease to be a Member in respect of those Shares; and

 

(b)that person shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate (if any) for the forfeited or surrendered Shares.

 

5.15Despite the forfeiture or surrender of his Shares, that person shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which at the date of forfeiture or surrender were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with:

 

(a)all expenses; and

 

(b)interest from the date of forfeiture or surrender until payment:

 

(i)at the rate of which interest was payable on those monies before forfeiture; or

 

(ii)if no interest was so payable, at the Default Rate.

 

The Directors, however, may waive payment wholly or in part.

 

Evidence of forfeiture or surrender

 

5.16A declaration, whether statutory or under oath, made by a Director or the Secretary shall be conclusive evidence of the following matters stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to forfeited Shares:

 

(a)that the person making the declaration is a Director or Secretary of the Company, and

 

16

 

 

(b)that the particular Shares have been forfeited or surrendered on a particular date.

 

Subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer, if necessary, the declaration shall constitute good title to the Shares.

 

Sale of forfeited or surrendered Shares

 

5.17Any person to whom the forfeited or surrendered Shares are disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration, if any, of those Shares nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity in, or invalidity of the proceedings in respect of, the forfeiture, surrender or disposal of those Shares.

Suspension of transfers

11.3The chairman of a general meeting (including any Virtual Meeting) shall be the chairman of the Board or such other Director as the Directors may determine. Absent any such person being present at the meeting within fifteen minutes of the time appointed for the meeting, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to chair the meeting.

Adjournment, postponement and cancellation

 

11.8A meeting may be:

The chairman must adjourn the meeting if so directed by the Members constituting a quorum at the meeting. No business, however, can be transacted at an adjourned or postponed meeting other than business which might properly have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

11.9Should a meeting be adjourned for more than seven (7) Clear Days, whether because of a lack of quorum or otherwise, Members shall be given at least seven (7) Clear Days’ notice of the date, time and place of the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted.

Taking of a poll

 

11.11A poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs. He may appoint scrutineers (who need not be Members) and fix a place and time for declaring the result of the poll. If, through the aid of technology, the meeting is held as a Virtual Meeting or in more than one place, the chairman may appoint scrutineers virtually and in more than one place; but if he considers that the poll cannot be effectively monitored at that meeting, the chairman shall adjourn the holding of the poll to a date, place and time when that can occur.

 

27

 

 

Chairman’s casting vote

 

11.12In the case of an equality of votes, the Chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

 

Written resolutions

 

11.13Without limitation to section 60(1) of the Act, Members may pass a Special Resolution in writing without holding a meeting if the following conditions are met:

11.14Members may pass an Ordinary Resolution in writing without holding a meeting if the following conditions are met:

(b)the required majority of the Members entitled so to vote:

 

(i)sign a document; or

 

(ii)sign several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of those Members; and

 

(c)the signed document or documents is or are delivered to the Company, including, if the Company so nominates, by delivery of an Electronic Record by Electronic means to the address specified for that purpose.

11.15If all Members entitled to be given notice of the Ordinary Resolution consent, a written resolution may be passed as soon as the required majority have signified their agreement to the resolution, without any minimum period of time having first elapsed. Save that the consent of the majority may be incorporated in the written resolution, each consent shall be in writing or given by Electronic Record and shall otherwise be given to the Company in accordance with Article 28 (Notices) prior to the written resolution taking effect.

 

11.16The Directors may determine the manner in which written resolutions shall be put to Members. In particular, they may provide, in the form of any written resolution, for each Member to indicate, out of the number of votes the Member would have been entitled to cast at a meeting to consider the resolution, how many votes he wishes to cast in favour of the resolution and how many against the resolution or to be treated as abstentions. The result of any such written resolution shall be determined on the same basis as on a poll.

 

11.17If a written resolution is described as a Special Resolution or as an Ordinary Resolution, it has effect accordingly.

 

29

 

 

Sole-Member Company

 

11.18If the Company has only one Member, and the Member records in writing his decision on a question, that record shall constitute both the passing of a resolution and the minute of it.

12.1Unless their Shares carry no right to vote, or unless a call or other amount presently payable has not been paid, all Members are entitled to vote at a general meeting, and all Members holding Shares of a particular class of Shares are entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of that class of Shares.

 

12.2Members may vote in person or by proxy.

30

12.13For the purpose of the preceding Article, evidence to the satisfaction of the Directors of the authority of the person claiming to exercise the right to vote must be received not less than 24 hours before holding the relevant meeting or the adjourned meeting in any manner specified for the delivery of forms of appointment of a proxy, whether in writing or by Electronic means. In default, the right to vote shall not be exercisable.

If the Directors so resolve, the Company may accept an Electronic Record of that instrument delivered in the manner specified below and otherwise satisfying the Articles about authentication of Electronic Records.

 

12.17The Directors may require the production of any evidence which they consider necessary to determine the validity of any appointment of a proxy.

 

12.18A Member may revoke the appointment of a proxy at any time by notice to the Company duly signed in accordance with Article 12.16.

 

12.19No revocation by a Member of the appointment of a proxy made in accordance with Article 12.18 will affect the validity of any acts carried out by the relevant proxy before the Directors of the Company had actual notice of the revocation.

 

How and when proxy is to be delivered

 

12.20Subject to the following Articles, the Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the form of appointment of a proxy and any authority under which it is signed (or a copy of the authority certified notarially or in any other way approved by the Directors) must be delivered so that it is received by the Company before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the form of appointment of proxy proposes to vote. They must be delivered in either of the following ways:

 

(a)In the case of an instrument in writing, it must be left at or sent by post:

 

(i)to the registered office of the Company; or

 

(ii)to such other place specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any form of appointment of proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting.

 

(b)If, pursuant to the notice provisions, a notice may be given to the Company in an Electronic Record, an Electronic Record of an appointment of a proxy must be sent to the address specified pursuant to those provisions unless another address for that purpose is specified:

 

(i)in the notice convening the meeting; or

 

32

 

 

(ii)in any form of appointment of a proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting; or

 

(iii)in any invitation to appoint a proxy issued by the Company in relation to the meeting.

 

(c)Notwithstanding Article 12.20(a) and Article 12.20(b), the chairman of the Company may, in any event at his discretion, direct that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited.

 

12.21If the form of appointment of proxy is not delivered on time, it is invalid.

 

12.22When two or more valid but differing appointments of proxy are delivered or received in respect of the same Share for use at the same meeting and in respect of the same matter, the one which is last validly delivered or received (regardless of its date or of the date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that Share. lf the Company is unable to determine which appointment was last validly delivered or received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of that Share.

 

12.23The Board may at the expense of the Company send forms of appointment of proxy to the Members by post (that is to say, pre-paying and posting a letter), or by Electronic communication or otherwise (with or without provision for their return by pre-paid post) for use at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of Shares, either blank or nominating as proxy in the alternative any one or more of the Directors or any other person. lf for the purpose of any meeting invitations to appoint as proxy a person or one of a number of persons specified in the invitations are issued at the Company’s expense, they shall be issued to all (and not to some only) of the Members entitled to be sent notice of the meeting and to vote at it. The accidental omission to send such a form of appointment or to give such an invitation to, or the non-receipt of such form of appointment by, any Member entitled to attend and vote at a meeting shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting

 

Voting by proxy

 

12.24A proxy shall have the same voting rights at a meeting or adjourned meeting as the Member would have had except to the extent that the instrument appointing him limits those rights. Notwithstanding the appointment of a proxy, a Member may attend and vote at a meeting or adjourned meeting. If a Member votes on any resolution a vote by his proxy on the same resolution, unless in respect of different Shares, shall be invalid.

 

33

 

 

12.25The instrument appointing a proxy to vote at a meeting shall not confer any further right to speak at the meeting, except with the permission of the chairman of the meeting.

 

13Number of Directors

 

13.1There shall be a Board consisting of not less than one person provided however that the Company may by Ordinary Resolution increase or reduce the limits in the number of Directors. Unless fixed by Ordinary Resolution, the maximum number of Directors shall be unlimited.

(a)Upon determination to pay a dividend or dividends described as interim by the Directors in the dividend resolution, no debt shall be created by the declaration until such time as payment is made.

23.6In relation to Shares carrying differing rights to dividends or rights to dividends at a fixed rate, the following applies:

 

(a)If the share capital is divided into different classes, the Directors may pay dividends on Shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividends as well as on Shares which confer preferential rights with regard to dividends but no dividend shall be paid on Shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrears.

 

(b)The Directors may also pay, at intervals settled by them, any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that there are sufficient funds of the Company lawfully available for distribution to justify the payment.

 

(c)If the Directors act in good faith, they shall not incur any liability to the Members holding Shares conferring preferred rights for any loss those Members may suffer by the lawful payment of the dividend on any Shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.

 

Apportionment of dividends

 

23.7Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts Paid Up on the Shares on which the dividend is paid. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amount Paid Up on the Shares during the time or part of the time in respect of which the dividend is paid.

48

23.9If the Directors so determine, any resolution declaring a dividend may direct that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets.

(a)issue fractional Shares;

 

(b)fix the value of assets for distribution and make cash payments to some Members on the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of Members; and

(b)by cheque or warrant sent by post to the registered address of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share.

 

23.11For the purposes of Article 23.10(a), the nomination may be in writing or in an Electronic Record and the bank account nominated may be the bank account of another person. For the purposes of Article 23.10(b), subject to any applicable law or regulation, the cheque or warrant shall be made to the order of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to the Share or to his nominee, whether nominated in writing or in an Electronic Record, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company.

 

49

Dividends unable to be paid or unclaimed

 

23.15If a dividend cannot be paid to a Member or remains unclaimed within six weeks after it was declared or both, the Directors may pay it into a separate account in the Company’s name. If a dividend is paid into a separate account, the Company shall not be constituted trustee in respect of that account and the dividend shall remain a debt due to the Member.

 

23.16A dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by, the Company.

(b)any sum standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account or capital redemption reserve, if any.

 

50

 

 

24.2The amount resolved to be capitalised must be appropriated to the Members who would have been entitled to it had it been distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions. The benefit to each Member so entitled must be given in either or both of the following ways::

 

(a)by paying up the amounts unpaid on that Member’s Shares;

 

(b)by issuing Fully Paid Up Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company to that Member or as that Member directs. The Directors may resolve that any Shares issued to the Member in respect of Partly Paid Up Shares (Original Shares) rank for dividend only to the extent that the Original Shares rank for dividend while those Original Shares remain Partly Paid Up.

 

Applying an amount for the benefit of Members

 

24.3The amount capitalised must be applied to the benefit of Members in the proportions to which the Members would have been entitled to dividends if the amount capitalised had been distributed as a dividend.

2.6This Instrument shall take effect from the date hereof and shall terminate upon the exercise of the Warrants in full.

 

 
 

 

3.Exercise of warrants

 

3.1The Warrants shall be exercisable by Warrantholders at any time during the period commencing on the date of grant of the Warrants and expiring on the 6th month anniversary of Offering (“Maturity Date”) without any further condition.

 

3.2A Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise all or any part of its holding of Warrants and, if a Warrantholder exercises part only of its holding of Warrants, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise the balance of its holding of Warrants on any one or more occasions and in any one or more parts as the Warrantholder determines in its discretion PROVIDED THAT any exercise of Warrants shall be a minimum of 10 Warrants or more.

 

3.3In order to exercise the whole or any part of its holding of Warrants, the Warrantholder must deliver to the Company a Notice of Exercise together with the remittance in cleared funds, within 10 Business Days, of an amount equal to the Subscription Price multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued to the Warrantholder as a result of the exercise of the Warrants which are being exercised.

 

3.4Once delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.3, a Notice of Exercise shall (save with the consent of the Company) be irrevocable.

 

3.5The issue of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of Warrants shall be made by way of crediting such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to the Warrantholder’s [electronic stock account] if the Company has completed a Listing (provided that a stock account with the details provided by the Warrantholder has been opened and remains open), or via paper certificate if the Company has not completed its Offering.

 

3.6The Company shall ensure the continuity and validity of the Warrants (or otherwise make available to the Warrantholders a suitable alternative means of subscribing for the Ordinary Shares at no detriment to the terms of their relevant Warrant) until Maturity Date should the Company complete an Offering via IPO or otherwise.

 

3.7If only part of a Warrantholder’s holding of Warrants is exercised, a Certificate for the outstanding balance of Warrants that have not been exercised shall be despatched to the Warrantholder referred to in the relevant Notice of Exercise by no later than five Business Days after such Notice of Exercise was delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.3.

 

3.8Ordinary Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of Warrants shall be entitled to all dividends and distributions paid on any date or by reference to any date on or after the date on which the Notice of Exercise was delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.3 and shall otherwise rank pari passu in all respects from the date of their allotment with the Ordinary Shares of the Company then in issue.

 

3.9Warrants shall be deemed to be exercised on the day upon which the Warrantholder gives to the Company a Notice of Exercise in accordance with clause 11.

 

4.Adjustment of subscription rights

 

4.1Upon the occurrence of a sub-division or consolidation of the shares of the Company (each an “Adjustment Event”) after the date on which any Warrants are granted, the number of Ordinary Shares which are the subject of the Warrants and the Subscription Price payable on the exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted either in such manner as the Company and the Warrantholders agree in writing is appropriate or, failing agreement, in such manner as the Auditors shall certify is appropriate.

 

 
 

 

4.2For the purposes of this clause 4, an adjustment to the Warrants and the Subscription Price shall be “appropriate” if, as a consequence of the adjustment, Warrantholders enjoy the same economic effect on the exercise of their Warrants as if the relevant Adjustment Event had not occurred or arisen. The Company and the Warrantholders shall endeavour to agree any adjustment pursuant to this clause 4 within 10 Business Days of the Adjustment Event, failing which the adjustment shall be certified by the Auditors and the Company shall give notice of the adjustment (as certified by the Auditors) to the Warrantholders within 30 Business Days of the relevant Adjustment Event together with a new Certificate in respect of any additional Warrants to which Warrantholders are entitled in consequence of such adjustment. Any such additional Warrants shall confer the same rights and restrictions as are attached to the Warrants which are in issue at the date of the Adjustment Event (subject to any adjustment to the Price which is made pursuant to this clause 4).

 

4.3No exercise of Warrants shall result in the issue of a fraction of an Ordinary Share. Any fractional entitlements to Ordinary Shares arising as a result of an adjustment in accordance with this clause 4 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.

 

5. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

The Company represents, warrants and agrees that with respect to the exercise of warrants, the Ordinary Shares issued after the exercise will have the following registration rights: (i) two demand registration of the sale of the Ordinary Shares at the Company’s expense, and (ii) unlimited “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five (5) years after the closing of the Company’s initial public offering at the Company’s expense.

 

6.WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY

 

6.1If, at any time when any Warrants are exercisable, an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up or dissolution of the Company or if any other dissolution of the Company by operation of law is to be effected then:

 

(a)if such winding up or dissolution is for the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme of arrangement to which the Warrantholders have consented in writing, the terms of such scheme of arrangement will be binding on the Warrantholder; or

 

(b)in any other case, the Company shall forthwith notify the Warrantholder stating that such an order has been made or resolution has been passed or other dissolution is to be effected and the Warrantholder shall be entitled at any time within one month after the date such notice is published to elect by notice in writing to the Company to be treated as if it had, immediately before the date of the making of the order or passing of the resolution or other dissolution, exercised all of its Warrants and it shall be entitled to receive out of the assets which would otherwise be available in the liquidation to the holders of Ordinary Shares, such a sum, if any, as it would have received had it been the holder of and paid for the Ordinary Shares to which it would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise, after deducting from such sum an amount equal to the amount which would have been payable by it in respect of such Ordinary Shares if it had exercised all his Warrants, but nothing contained in this Clause shall have the effect of requiring the Warrantholder to make any actual payment to the Company.

 

6.2Subject to compliance with Clause 5.1, the Warrants shall lapse on the liquidation or winding up of the Company.

 

7.Undertakings

 

Unless otherwise authorised in writing by the Warrantholder shall holding the majority of the outstanding Warrants from time to time:

 

7.1the Company shall have on the date of grant of the Warrants and shall maintain all necessary authorisations pursuant to the Law to enable it to lawfully and fully perform its obligations under this Instrument to allot and issue Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of all Warrants issued and remaining exercisable from time to time;

 

 
 

 

7.2if at any time an offer is made to all holders of Ordinary Shares (or all such holders other than the offeror and/or any company controlled by the offeror and/or persons acting in concert with the offeror) to acquire the whole or any part of the Ordinary Share capital of the Company, the Company will as soon as possible give notice of such offer to the Warrantholders and use its best endeavours to procure that a full and adequate opportunity is given to the Warrantholders to exercise the Warrants and source funding for such exercise, and that a like offer, being one pari passu with the best terms offered to holders of Ordinary Shares, is extended in respect of any Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants; the publication of a scheme of arrangement providing for the acquisition by any person of the whole or any part of the Ordinary Share capital of the Company shall be deemed to be the making of an offer for the purposes of this clause 6.2 and references herein to such an offer shall be read and construed accordingly; and

 

7.3if at any time an offer or invitation is made by the Company to the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purchase by the Company of any of the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall simultaneously give notice thereof to the Warrantholders who shall be entitled at any time while such offer or invitation is open for acceptance, to exercise their Warrants on the terms (subject to any adjustments pursuant to clause 4 above) on which the same could have been exercised if they had been exercisable and had been exercised on the day immediately preceding the record date for such offer or invitation.

 

8.Modification of rights

 

All or any of the rights for the time being attached to the Warrants may from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be altered or abrogated with the approval of the Company and with the prior written consent of the Warrantholders.

3.2 A Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise all or any part of its holding of Warrants and, if a Warrantholder exercises part only of its holding of Warrants, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise the balance of its holding of Warrants on any one or more occasions and in any one or more parts as the Warrantholder determines in its discretion PROVIDED THAT any exercise of Warrants shall be a minimum of 10 Warrants or more.

3.5 The issue of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of Warrants shall be made by way of crediting such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to the Warrantholder’s [electronic stock account] if the Company has completed a Listing (provided that a stock account with the details provided by the Warrantholder has been opened and remains open), or via paper certificate if the Company has not completed its Offering.

3.9 Warrants shall be deemed to be exercised on the day upon which the Warrantholder gives to the Company a Notice of Exercise in accordance with clause 11.
   
4. Adjustment of subscription rights

4.2 For the purposes of this clause 4, an adjustment to the Warrants and the Subscription Price shall be “appropriate” if, as a consequence of the adjustment, Warrantholders enjoy the same economic effect on the exercise of their Warrants as if the relevant Adjustment Event had not occurred or arisen. The Company and the Warrantholders shall endeavour to agree any adjustment pursuant to this clause 4 within 10 Business Days of the Adjustment Event, failing which the adjustment shall be certified by the Auditors and the Company shall give notice of the adjustment (as certified by the Auditors) to the Warrantholders within 30 Business Days of the relevant Adjustment Event together with a new Certificate in respect of any additional Warrants to which Warrantholders are entitled in consequence of such adjustment. Any such additional Warrants shall confer the same rights and restrictions as are attached to the Warrants which are in issue at the date of the Adjustment Event (subject to any adjustment to the Price which is made pursuant to this clause 4).
   
4.3 No exercise of Warrants shall result in the issue of a fraction of an Ordinary Share. Any fractional entitlements to Ordinary Shares arising as a result of an adjustment in accordance with this clause 4 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.
   
5. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
   
  The Company represents, warrants and agrees that with respect to the exercise of warrants, the Ordinary Shares issued after the exercise will have the following registration rights: (i) two demand registration of the sale of the Ordinary Shares at the Company’s expense, and (ii) unlimited “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five (5) years after the closing of the Company’s initial public offering at the Company’s expense.

 

6. WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY
   
6.1 If, at any time when any Warrants are exercisable, an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up or dissolution of the Company or if any other dissolution of the Company by operation of law is to be effected then:

 

  (a) if such winding up or dissolution is for the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme of arrangement to which the Warrantholders have consented in writing, the terms of such scheme of arrangement will be binding on the Warrantholder; or
     
  (b) in any other case, the Company shall forthwith notify the Warrantholder stating that such an order has been made or resolution has been passed or other dissolution is to be effected and the Warrantholder shall be entitled at any time within one month after the date such notice is published to elect by notice in writing to the Company to be treated as if it had, immediately before the date of the making of the order or passing of the resolution or other dissolution, exercised all of its Warrants and it shall be entitled to receive out of the assets which would otherwise be available in the liquidation to the holders of Ordinary Shares, such a sum, if any, as it would have received had it been the holder of and paid for the Ordinary Shares to which it would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise, after deducting from such sum an amount equal to the amount which would have been payable by it in respect of such Ordinary Shares if it had exercised all his Warrants, but nothing contained in this Clause shall have the effect of requiring the Warrantholder to make any actual payment to the Company.

 

6.2 Subject to compliance with Clause 5.1, the Warrants shall lapse on the liquidation or winding up of the Company.
   
7. Undertakings

7.3 if at any time an offer or invitation is made by the Company to the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purchase by the Company of any of the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall simultaneously give notice thereof to the Warrantholders who shall be entitled at any time while such offer or invitation is open for acceptance, to exercise their Warrants on the terms (subject to any adjustments pursuant to clause 4 above) on which the same could have been exercised if they had been exercisable and had been exercised on the day immediately preceding the record date for such offer or invitation.
   
8. Modification of rights

3.1The Warrants shall be exercisable by Warrantholders at any time during the period commencing on the date of grant of the Warrants and expiring on the 24th month anniversary of Offering (“Maturity Date”) without any further condition.

 

3.2A Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise all or any part of its holding of Warrants and, if a Warrantholder exercises part only of its holding of Warrants, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise the balance of its holding of Warrants on any one or more occasions and in any one or more parts as the Warrantholder determines in its discretion PROVIDED THAT any exercise of Warrants shall be a minimum of 10 Warrants or more.

3.4Once delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.3, a Notice of Exercise shall (save with the consent of the Company) be irrevocable.

 

3.5The issue of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of Warrants shall be made by way of crediting such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to the Warrantholder’s [electronic stock account] if the Company has completed a Listing (provided that a stock account with the details provided by the Warrantholder has been opened and remains open), or via paper certificate if the Company has not completed its Offering.

3.9Warrants shall be deemed to be exercised on the day upon which the Warrantholder gives to the Company a Notice of Exercise in accordance with clause 11.

 

4.Adjustment of subscription rights

 

4.1Upon the occurrence of a sub-division or consolidation of the shares of the Company (each an “Adjustment Event”) after the date on which any Warrants are granted, the number of Ordinary Shares which are the subject of the Warrants and the Subscription Price payable on the exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted either in such manner as the Company and the Warrantholders agree in writing is appropriate or, failing agreement, in such manner as the Auditors shall certify is appropriate.

 

 
 

 

4.2For the purposes of this clause 4, an adjustment to the Warrants and the Subscription Price shall be “appropriate” if, as a consequence of the adjustment, Warrantholders enjoy the same economic effect on the exercise of their Warrants as if the relevant Adjustment Event had not occurred or arisen. The Company and the Warrantholders shall endeavour to agree any adjustment pursuant to this clause 4 within 10 Business Days of the Adjustment Event, failing which the adjustment shall be certified by the Auditors and the Company shall give notice of the adjustment (as certified by the Auditors) to the Warrantholders within 30 Business Days of the relevant Adjustment Event together with a new Certificate in respect of any additional Warrants to which Warrantholders are entitled in consequence of such adjustment. Any such additional Warrants shall confer the same rights and restrictions as are attached to the Warrants which are in issue at the date of the Adjustment Event (subject to any adjustment to the Price which is made pursuant to this clause 4).

 

4.3No exercise of Warrants shall result in the issue of a fraction of an Ordinary Share. Any fractional entitlements to Ordinary Shares arising as a result of an adjustment in accordance with this clause 4 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.

 

5. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

The Company represents, warrants and agrees that with respect to the exercise of warrants, the Ordinary Shares issued after the exercise will have the following registration rights: (i) two demand registration of the sale of the Ordinary Shares at the Company’s expense, and (ii) unlimited “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five (5) years after the closing of the Company’s initial public offering at the Company’s expense.

6.1If, at any time when any Warrants are exercisable, an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up or dissolution of the Company or if any other dissolution of the Company by operation of law is to be effected then:

 

(a)if such winding up or dissolution is for the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme of arrangement to which the Warrantholders have consented in writing, the terms of such scheme of arrangement will be binding on the Warrantholder; or

 

(b)in any other case, the Company shall forthwith notify the Warrantholder stating that such an order has been made or resolution has been passed or other dissolution is to be effected and the Warrantholder shall be entitled at any time within one month after the date such notice is published to elect by notice in writing to the Company to be treated as if it had, immediately before the date of the making of the order or passing of the resolution or other dissolution, exercised all of its Warrants and it shall be entitled to receive out of the assets which would otherwise be available in the liquidation to the holders of Ordinary Shares, such a sum, if any, as it would have received had it been the holder of and paid for the Ordinary Shares to which it would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise, after deducting from such sum an amount equal to the amount which would have been payable by it in respect of such Ordinary Shares if it had exercised all his Warrants, but nothing contained in this Clause shall have the effect of requiring the Warrantholder to make any actual payment to the Company.

 

6.2Subject to compliance with Clause 5.1, the Warrants shall lapse on the liquidation or winding up of the Company.

 

7.Undertakings

7.3if at any time an offer or invitation is made by the Company to the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purchase by the Company of any of the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall simultaneously give notice thereof to the Warrantholders who shall be entitled at any time while such offer or invitation is open for acceptance, to exercise their Warrants on the terms (subject to any adjustments pursuant to clause 4 above) on which the same could have been exercised if they had been exercisable and had been exercised on the day immediately preceding the record date for such offer or invitation.

Exhibit 10.24

 

CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

05 June, 2025

 

The following letter of intent is a summary of the principal terms contemplated for the proposed transaction described below (“MOU”).

 

1.   Proposed Transaction and Structure Matters   Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Definitive Agreement (as herein defined), Diginex Limited (the “Company”), will acquire, either directly or indirectly, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests (collectively, the “Shares”) of Resulticks Global Companies Pte. Limited (“Target” and such transaction, the “Proposed Transaction”). The structure of the Proposed Transaction is subject to the Company’s diligence and discussion amongst the parties hereto.
         
2.   Purchase Price  

As consideration for the Shares in the Proposed Transaction and subject to the terms and conditions of this MOU (including the satisfactory completion of the Company’s due diligence), the Company is prepared to offer USD1,900,000,000 of Diginex Limited shares (the “Share Consideration”) valued at $72.00 per share (the “Consideration Price”), and USD100,000,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), which assumes that the Target has $68,000,000 of debt, at the closing of the Proposed Transaction (“Closing”).

 

Such Share Consideration shall be paid in two tranches: First, USD1,400,000,000 of Diginex Limited shares upon Closing (the “Closing Consideration”) valued at Consideration Price with such shares subject to a 12-18 month lock up period upon issue and will be released in 6 equal tranches on a monthly basis from the 12th month until the 18th month.

 

Second, and in addition to the Closing Consideration, the Company will also offer USD500,000,000 of Diginex Limited shares (the “Contingent Consideration”) valued at Consideration Price to the holders of the Shares in 3 separate and independent tranches if the Target attains the following audited EBITDA figures during the following accounting periods:

 

Tranche  Contingent Shares   Accounting Period   EBITDA Threshold 
(1)   USD166,666,666     FY2026     USD100,000,000 
(2)   USD166,666,667     FY2027     USD200,000,000 
(3)   USD166,666,667     FY2028     USD325,000,000 

 

       

Such Contingent Consideration shares will be issued immediately after the published audited accounts confirming the necessary EBITDA threshold has been attained and will not be subject to a lock-up. Calculated separately for each tranche, so long as at least 75% of the EBITDA threshold has been achieved the Contingent Shares will be issued pro-rata up to 100% for each tranche should the actual EBITDA fall below the EDITDA threshold.

 

Such Cash Consideration shall be paid 90 business days after Closing.

 

 

 

 

        Following the Closing, the Company intends to provide the Target with funding based on performance and estimated return on use of proceeds, including, but not limited to a minimum of 65% of all funds raised until USD200,000,000 has been funded to the Target.
         
3.  

Documentation

 

  As soon as reasonably practicable following the date this MOU is signed by Target, the Company and Target will commence to negotiate a definitive acquisition agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) and any ancillary agreements contemplated thereby, to be initially drafted by the Target’s counsel. The Definitive Agreement and any such ancillary agreements will contain representations, warranties, covenants, and other customary terms and conditions for a transaction of the nature contemplated by this MOU.
         
4.   Due Diligence  

Target will permit, and will cause its representatives to permit, the Company and the Company representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, access to Target’s facilities, books and records, key employees, customers, suppliers and advisors for the purpose of completing the Company’s due diligence review. The due diligence investigation will include, but is not limited to, a complete review of Target’s financial, legal, tax, environmental, intellectual property and labor records and agreements, and any other matters the Company and the Company representatives deem relevant.

 

Due Diligence shall start at the date of this MOU and shall be completed on or before 31 July 2025 (the “Due Diligence Period”).

6.   Confidentiality   The non-disclosure agreement dated 7 May 2025 between Resulticks Solutions Inc and Diginex Limited remains in full force and effect.

 

 

 

 

7.   Announcement   No announcement in respect of the matters covered by this MOU may be made unless agreed in writing by both parties or required by relevant regulatory authorities as a legal obligation (including applicable listing standards and securities laws).
         
8.   Exclusivity/Access  

In consideration of the expenses that the Company has incurred and will incur in connection with the Proposed Transaction, commencing on the date this MOU is signed by Target and continuing until such time as this MOU has terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 (such period, the “Exclusivity Period”), neither Target nor any of its affiliates or any of its or their respective equity holders, employees, officers, directors, representatives, agents and advisors (collectively, the “Target Group”) shall initiate, solicit, entertain, facilitate, negotiate, accept or discuss, directly or indirectly, any proposal or offer from any person or group of persons other than the Company and its representatives to acquire all or any significant part of the business and properties, assets, capital stock or capital stock equivalents of Target, whether by merger, purchase of shares, purchase of assets, tender offer or otherwise (an “Acquisition Proposal”), or provide any confidential information to any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding requiring Target or any Target shareholder to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Proposed Transaction with the Company.

In the event that Target or any member of the Target Group breaches or violates any of the first three paragraphs of this Section 8, Target shall reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Company incurred in connection with the Proposed Transaction promptly upon demand by the Company with respect thereto.

 

For the sake of clarity, it is to be noted that this Section 8 shall not restrict any financial investment, fund raising via equity, debt, structured equity/debt or any other instruments, in each case, designed to provide liquidity for Target and as long as such transaction does not result in a change of control of Target or otherwise operate to impede, prohibit or delay the Proposed Transaction; provided, however, that Target shall provide the Company with prior written notice of any such transaction and drafts of all documentation associated therewith.

Except for the provisions of this Section 9 and Section 6 (Confidentiality), Section 7 (Announcement), Section 8 (Exclusivity/Access), Section 10 (Termination and Survival), and Section 11 (Miscellaneous) which are the legally binding and enforceable agreements of the parties to this MOU (the “Specified Provisions”), this MOU is merely an expression of interest and no obligations shall be created or come into existence hereunder (with the exception of the Specified Provisions), except after the negotiation, execution, and delivery of a definitive agreement, and then only in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

Exhibit 99.1

DIGINEX LIMITED
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
FOR EMPLOYEES, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

 

Approved by the Diginex Limited board on 17 September 2024

 

Introduction

 

Diginex Limited (the “Company”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and ethics. This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) reflects the business practices and principles of behavior that support this commitment. The Company expects every employee, consultant, officer and director to read and understand the Code and its application to the performance of his or her business responsibilities. This Code applies to all employees, members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), officers and consultants of the Company.

 

Officers, directors and other supervisors are expected to develop in employees a sense of commitment to the spirit, as well as the letter, of the Code. Supervisors are also expected to ensure that all agents and contractors conform to Code standards when working for or on behalf of the Company. This Code supersedes all other codes of conduct, policies, procedures, instructions, practices, rules or written or verbal representations to the extent that they are inconsistent with this Code. However, nothing in this Code otherwise alters the at-will employment policy of the Company, provided that the terms of the respective employment contracts are complied with. The Company is committed to continuously reviewing and updating its policies and procedures. This Code, therefore, is subject to modification.

 

This Code cannot possibly describe every practice or principle related to honest and ethical conduct. The Code addresses conduct that is particularly important to proper dealings with the people and entities with which the Company interacts but reflects only a part of the Company’s commitment. From time to time the Company may adopt additional policies and procedures with which the Company’s employees, officers and directors are expected to comply, if applicable to them. However, it is the responsibility of each employee to apply common sense, together with his or her own highest personal ethical standards, in making business decisions where there is no stated guideline in the Code.

 

Actions by members of your family, significant others or other persons who live in your household (referred to in the Code as “family members”) also may potentially result in ethical issues to the extent that they involve the Company’s business. For example, acceptance of inappropriate gifts by a family member from one of the Company’s suppliers could create a conflict of interest and result in a Code violation attributable to you. Consequently, in complying with the Code, you should consider not only your own conduct, but also that of your family members, significant others and other persons who live in your household.

 

 
 

 

You should not hesitate to ask questions about whether any conduct may violate the Code, voice concerns or clarify gray areas. Section 18 below details the compliance resources available to you. In addition, you should be alert to possible violations of the Code by others and report suspected violations, without any fear of any form of retaliation, as further described in Section 18 below. Violations of the Code will not be tolerated. Any employee who violates the standards in the Code may be subject to disciplinary action, which, depending on the nature of the violation and the history of the employee, may range from a warning or reprimand to and including termination of employment and, in appropriate cases, civil legal action or referral for regulatory or criminal prosecution. In addition, any supervisor, manager or officer who directs, approves, or condones infractions of this Code, or has knowledge of them and does not report them and correct them, may be subject to the same disciplinary action.

 

1. Honest and Ethical Conduct

 

It is the policy of the Company to promote high standards of integrity by conducting the Company’s affairs in an honest and ethical manner. The integrity and reputation of the Company depends on the honesty, fairness and integrity brought to the job by each person associated with the Company. Unyielding personal integrity is the foundation of corporate integrity.

 

2. Legal Compliance

 

Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation of this Code. The Company’s success depends upon each employee’s operating within legal guidelines and cooperating with local, national and international authorities. The Company expects employees (all employees, directors, officers and consultants) to understand the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to their business units and areas of responsibility. While the Company does not expect you to memorize every detail of these laws, rules and regulations, the Company wants you to be able to determine when to seek advice from others. If you do have a question in the area of legal compliance, it is important that you do not hesitate to seek answers from your supervisor or a Compliance Officer (as further described in Section 18 below).

 

Disregard of the law will not be tolerated. Violation of domestic or foreign laws, rules and regulations may subject an individual, as well as the Company, to civil and/or criminal penalties.

 

You should be aware that conduct and records, including emails, are subject to internal and external audits, and to discovery by third parties in the event of a government investigation or civil litigation. It is in everyone’s best interests to know and comply with the Company’s legal and ethical obligations.

 

3. Government Investigations

 

It is the Company’s policy to cooperate with government investigations and give government investigators the full measure of assistance to which they are entitled, consistent with the safeguards that the law has established for the benefit of persons under investigation. Such persons should have the opportunity to be adequately represented in such investigations by legal counsel. This Code sets forth the standards that employees, directors, officers and consultants of the Company should follow if such persons are contacted by a government investigator or law enforcement official.

 

2
 

 

If a government investigator or agency contacts an employee, director, officer or consultant of the Company seeking information or access to the Company’s records or facilities, such person should politely inform the investigator or agency that the Company’s policy is generally one of cooperation, but that such person must obtain clearance from a Compliance Officer before furnishing such information or access, unless management has established written policies relating to the agency and type of inspection that is being requested.

 

If employees are approached at home or at work by a government regulatory official or law enforcement officer investigating the Company, its operations or business practices, the employee may request that any interview take place at an office or another location away from the employee’s home. Employees should also know that no government official or law enforcement officer can require the employee to give information without the opportunity to consult with an attorney.

 

Under no circumstances should an employee lie or make any misleading statements to any government investigator or law enforcement official, attempt or cause any other employee or any other person to fail to provide information to any government investigator, or provide any false or misleading information.

 

If an employee obtains information that would lead the employee to believe that a government investigation is underway, or if an employee is contacted by any government regulatory or law enforcement official regarding the Company, the employee should immediately contact a Compliance Officer.

 

4. Insider Trading

 

Directors, officers, employees or consultants who have confidential (or “inside”) information are not permitted to use or share that information for purposes of trading in the Company’s securities or for any other purpose except to conduct the Company’s business. All non-public information about the Company or about companies with which the Company does business is considered confidential information. To use material non-public information in connection with buying or selling securities, including “tipping” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information, is not only unethical, but also illegal. Employees must exercise the utmost care when handling material inside information. The Company has adopted a Policy Regarding Insider Trading which every director, officer, employee and consultant should carefully review.

 

5. Certain Laws

 

Antitrust

 

Antitrust laws are designed to protect the competitive process. These laws are based on the premise that the public interest is best served by vigorous competition and will suffer from illegal agreements or collusion among competitors. Antitrust laws generally prohibit:

 

agreements, formal or informal, with competitors that harm competition or customers, including price fixing and allocations of customers, territories or contracts;

 

3
 

 

agreements, formal or informal, that establish or fix the price at which a customer may resell a product; and
  
the acquisition or maintenance of a monopoly or attempted monopoly through anticompetitive conduct.

 

Certain kinds of information, such as pricing, should not be exchanged with competitors, regardless of how innocent or casual the exchange may be and regardless of the setting, whether business or social.

 

Antitrust laws impose severe penalties for certain types of violations, including criminal penalties and potential fines and damages of millions of dollars. Understanding the requirements of antitrust and unfair competition laws of the various jurisdictions where the Company does business can be difficult, and you are urged to seek assistance from your supervisor or a Compliance Officer (as further described in Section 18 below) whenever you have a question relating to these laws.

 

International Business Laws

 

Our employees are expected to comply with the applicable laws in all countries to which they travel, in which they operate and where the Company otherwise does business, including laws prohibiting bribery, corruption or the conduct of business with specified individuals, companies or countries. The fact that in some countries certain laws are not enforced or that violation of those laws is not subject to public criticism will not be accepted as an excuse for noncompliance.

 

If you have a question as to whether an activity is restricted or prohibited, seek assistance before taking any action, including giving any verbal assurances that might be regulated by international laws.

 

Environmental Laws

 

The Company expects employees in the course of performing their duties to comply with all applicable national environmental laws. Where there is ambiguity in the legislation, or the employee is unclear on the legislation or application, they should seek clarification from their supervisor or compliance officers.

 

6. Conflicts of Interest

 

The Company respects the rights of the Company’s employees to manage their personal affairs and investments and does not wish to impinge on their personal lives. At the same time, employees must avoid conflicts of interest that occur when their personal interests may interfere in any way with the performance of their duties or the best interests of the Company. A conflicting personal interest could result from an expectation of personal gain now or in the future or from a need to satisfy a prior or concurrent personal obligation. The Company expects employees to be free from influences that conflict with the best interests of the Company or might deprive the Company of their undivided loyalty in business dealings. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest where none actually exists can be damaging and should be avoided. Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be unclear. Conflicts of interest are prohibited unless specifically authorized as described below.

 

4
 

 

If you have any questions about a potential conflict or if you become aware of an actual or potential conflict, and you are not an officer of the Company or member of the Board, you should discuss the matter with your supervisor or a Compliance Officer (as further described in Section 18 below). Supervisors may not authorize conflict of interest matters without first seeking the approval of a Compliance Officer and providing a Compliance Officer with a written description of the activity. If the supervisor is involved in the potential or actual conflict, you should discuss the matter directly with a Compliance Officer. Officers and members of the Board may seek authorization from the Board. Factors that may be considered in evaluating a potential conflict of interest are, among others:

 

whether it may interfere with the employee’s job performance, responsibilities or morale;
  
whether the employee has access to confidential information;
  
whether it may interfere with the job performance, responsibilities or morale of others within the organization;
  
any potential adverse or beneficial impact on the Company’s business;
  
any potential adverse or beneficial impact on the Company’s relationships with the Company’s customers or suppliers or other service providers;
  
whether it would enhance or support a competitor’s position;
  
the extent to which it would result in financial or other benefit (direct or indirect) to the employee;
  
the extent to which it would result in financial or other benefit (direct or indirect) to one of the Company’s customers, suppliers or other service providers; and
  
the extent to which it would appear improper to an outside observer.

 

Although no list can include every possible situation in which a conflict of interest could arise, the following are examples of situations that may, depending on the facts and circumstances, involve conflicts of interests:

 

Employment by (including consulting for) or service on the board of directors of a competitor, customer or supplier or other service provider. Activity that enhances or supports the position of a competitor to the detriment of the Company is prohibited, including employment by or service on the board of a competitor. Employment by or service on the board of directors of a customer or supplier or other service provider is generally discouraged and you must seek authorization in advance if you plan to take such a position.

 

5
 

 

Owning, directly or indirectly, a significant financial interest in any entity that does business, seeks to do business or competes with the Company. In addition to the factors described above, persons evaluating ownership in other entities for conflicts of interest will consider: the size and nature of the investment; the nature of the relationship between the other entity and the Company; the employee’s access to confidential information; and the employee’s ability to influence the Company’s decisions. If you would like to acquire a financial interest of that kind, you must seek approval in advance. It is not considered a conflict of interest for an employee to make investments with a total value of no more than five percent (5%) of their annual compensation in competitors’, customers’, or vendors’ stock that is listed on a national or international securities exchange.
  
Soliciting or accepting gifts, favors, loans or preferential treatment from any person or entity that does business or seeks to do business with the Company. See Section 12 below for further discussion of the issues involved in this type of conflict.
  
Soliciting contributions to any charity or for any political candidate from any person or entity that does business or seeks to do business with the Company.
  
Taking personal advantage of corporate opportunities. See Section 8 below for further discussion of the issues involved in this type of conflict.
  
Moonlighting without permission.
  
Conducting the Company’s business transactions with your family member or a business in which you have a significant financial interest. Material related-party transactions involving any executive officer or director, 5% shareholder or member of their respective immediate families are subject to the Company’s Related Party Transaction Policies and Procedures.
  
Exercising supervisory or other authority on behalf of the Company over a co-worker who is also a family member. The employee’s supervisor and/or a Compliance Officer will consult with the Human Resources Department to assess the advisability of reassignment, which will seek approval from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for such assignment.

 

Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, employees or their family members by the Company could constitute an improper personal benefit to the recipients of these loans or guarantees, depending on the facts and circumstances. Some loans are expressly prohibited by law, and applicable law requires that the Board approve all loans and guarantees to employees. As a result, all loans and guarantees by the Company must be approved in advance by the Board.

 

7. Treatment with Fairness and Respect

 

You are critical to the success of the Company, and the Company’s policy is to treat you with fairness and respect. The Company is an equal opportunity employer. The Company does not tolerate discrimination against applicants or employees based on race, religion, gender, age, marital status, national origin, sexual orientation, citizenship status or other protected characteristics or disability. The Company prohibits discrimination in decisions concerning recruitment, hiring, compensation, benefits, training, termination, promotions or any other condition of employment or career development. The Company is committed to providing a work environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. The Company will not tolerate the use of discriminatory slurs; unwelcome, unsolicited sexual advances or harassment; or any other remarks, jokes or conduct that create or foster an offensive or hostile work environment. Each person, at every level of the organization, must act with respect toward customers, co-workers and outside firms.

8. Corporate Opportunities

 

You may not take personal advantage of opportunities for the Company that are presented to you or discovered by you as a result of your position with the Company or through your use of corporate property or information, unless authorized by your supervisor, a Compliance Officer or the Board. Even opportunities that are acquired privately by you may be questionable if they are related to the Company’s existing or proposed lines of business. Participation in an investment or outside business opportunity that is directly related to the Company’s lines of business must be preapproved by a Compliance Officer. You may not use your position with the Company or corporate property or information for improper personal gain, nor should you compete with the Company in any way.

 

9. Maintenance of Corporate Books, Records, Documents and Accounts; Financial Integrity; Public Reporting

 

The integrity of the Company’s records and public disclosure depends upon the validity, accuracy and completeness of the information supporting the entries to the Company’s books of account. Therefore, the Company’s corporate and business records should be completed accurately and honestly.

 

The making of false or misleading entries, whether they relate to financial results or otherwise, is strictly prohibited. The Company’s records serve as a basis for managing its business and are important in meeting its obligations to customers, suppliers, creditors, employees and others with whom the Company does business. As a result, it is important that the Company’s books, records and accounts accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, as well as all transactions and changes in assets and liabilities. The Company requires that:

 

no entry be made in the Company’s books and records that intentionally hides or disguises the nature of any transaction or of any of the Company’s liabilities, or misclassifies any transactions as to accounts or accounting periods;
  
transactions be supported by appropriate documentation;
  
the terms of sales and other commercial transactions be reflected accurately in the documentation for those transactions and all such documentation be reflected accurately in the Company’s books and records;

 

7
 

 

employees comply with the Company’s system of internal controls; and
  
no cash or other assets be maintained for any purpose in any unrecorded or “off-the-books” fund.

 

The Company’s accounting records are also relied upon to produce reports for its management, stockholders and creditors, as well as governmental agencies. In particular, the Company relies upon its accounting and other business and corporate records in preparing periodic and current reports that it files with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Securities laws require that these reports provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and fairly present the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Employees who collect, provide or analyze information for or otherwise contribute in any way in preparing or verifying these reports should strive to ensure that the Company’s financial disclosure is accurate and transparent and that the Company’s reports contain all of the information about the Company that would be important to enable stockholders and potential investors to assess the soundness and risks of the Company’s business and finances and the quality and integrity of the Company’s accounting and disclosures. Such employees must cooperate fully with the Company’s accounting and internal audit departments, as well as the Company’s independent public accountants and counsel. Each person must promptly report any information he or she may have concerning (a) significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal and/or disclosure controls that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or (b) any fraud that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s financial reporting, disclosures or internal controls.

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and each subsidiary of the Company (or persons performing similar functions), and each other person that is involved in the financial reporting of the Company, must familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Company as well as the business and financial operations of the Company. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of such individuals to promptly bring to the attention of the Audit Committee any untrue statement of a material fact and any omission of a material fact of which he or she may become aware pertaining to information that (a) affects the disclosures made by the Company in its public filings or (b) must otherwise be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s policies and procedures regarding accounting standards and documentation.

 

In addition:

 

no employee may take or authorize any action that would cause the Company’s financial records or financial disclosure to fail to comply with generally accepted accounting principles, the rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable laws, rules and regulations;

 

8
 

 

all employees must cooperate fully with the Company’s accounting personnel, as well as the Company’s independent public accountants and counsel, respond to their questions with candor and provide them with complete and accurate information to help ensure that the Company’s books and records, as well as the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, are accurate and complete; and
   
no employee should knowingly make (or cause or encourage any other person to make) any false or misleading statement in any of the Company’s reports filed with the SEC or knowingly omit (or cause or encourage any other person to omit) any information necessary to make the disclosure in any of the Company’s reports accurate in all material respects.

 

Any employee who becomes aware of any departure from these standards has a responsibility to report his or her knowledge promptly to a supervisor, a Compliance Officer, the Board or one of the other compliance resources described in Section 18 below.

 

10. Fair Dealing

 

The Company strives to outperform its competition fairly and honestly. Advantages over the Company’s competitors are not to be obtained through unethical or illegal business practices. Acquiring proprietary information from others through improper means, possessing trade secret information that was improperly obtained, or inducing improper disclosure of confidential information from past or present employees of other companies is prohibited, even if motivated by an intention to advance the Company’s interests. If information is obtained by mistake that may constitute a trade secret or other confidential information of another business, or if you have any questions about the legality of proposed information gathering, you must consult your supervisor or a Compliance Officer, as further described in Section 18 below.

 

You are expected to deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers, employees and anyone else with whom you have contact in the course of performing your job.

 

Employees involved in procurement have a special responsibility to adhere to principles of fair competition in the purchase of products and services by selecting suppliers based exclusively on normal commercial considerations, such as quality, cost, availability, service and reputation, and not on the receipt of special favors.

 

11. Anti-Bribery

 

The United States and many other governments make it illegal to offer or provide, directly or through a third party, anything of value to a foreign government official in order to influence an act, or decision to obtain, retain and/or direct business or to secure an improper advantage of any kind.

 

The Company strictly prohibits all directors and employees from giving, offering, promising or paying anything of value to government officials directly or indirectly with the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or otherwise securing an improper advantage. All directors and employees must take reasonable steps to ensure that business partners and other third-parties understand that the Company expects them to act with the same level of honesty and integrity in any activity engaged in for or on behalf of the Company.

 

Commission or fee arrangements may be made only with firms or persons serving as bona fide commercial representatives, agents or consultants. Such arrangements may not be entered into with any firm in which a government official or employee is known to have an interest, unless the arrangement is permitted by applicable law and has been specifically approved by the Company’s Board. All commission and fee arrangements shall be by written contract. Any commission or fee must be reasonable and consistent with normal practice for the industry, the merchandise involved, and the services to be rendered. Payments may not be made in physical currency.

 

9
 

 

The direct or indirect payment of either the Company’s or private funds to any government official or employee in furtherance of the Company’s business, except for “facilitation payments” (as defined in the next paragraph), is prohibited, whether or not it is accepted practice in that country.

 

Facilitation payments are small amounts paid to secure the performance of routine government actions. No facilitation payments may be made by anyone in the Company without prior written approval from a Compliance Officer.

 

The Company may also be responsible for the actions of those acting on our behalf. It is therefore important to select those persons and entities carefully and to ensure that they are properly monitored while doing business for us.

 

12. Gifts and Entertainment

 

Business gifts and entertainment are meant to create goodwill and sound working relationships and not to gain improper advantage with customers or facilitate approvals from government officials. The exchange, as a normal business courtesy, of meals or reasonable entertainment is a common and acceptable practice if it is not extravagant. Unless express permission is received from a supervisor, a Compliance Officer or the Board, gifts and entertainment cannot be offered, provided or accepted by any employee unless consistent with customary business practices and not excessive in value. This principle applies to Company’s transactions everywhere in the world, even where the practice is widely considered “a way of doing business.” Employees should not accept gift cards, gift certificates or cash, nor accept any gifts or entertainment that may reasonably be deemed to affect their judgment or actions in the performance of their duties. The Company’s customers, suppliers and the public at large should know that the Company’s employees’ judgment is not for sale.

 

Under the laws of certain governments, giving anything of value to a government official to obtain or retain business or favorable treatment is a criminal act subject to prosecution and conviction. Discuss with your supervisor or a Compliance Officer any proposed entertainment or gifts if you are uncertain about their appropriateness.

 

13. Electronic Communications and Internet Use

 

The use of the Company’s electronic systems, including computers, and all forms of Internet/intranet access, is for company business and for authorized purposes only. Brief and occasional personal use of the electronic mail system or the Internet is acceptable as long as it is not excessive or inappropriate, occurs during personal time (lunch or other breaks), and does not result in expense or harm to the Company or otherwise violate this Code. Use is defined as “excessive” if it interferes with normal job functions, responsiveness, or the ability to perform daily job activities. Electronic communication should not be used to solicit or sell products or services that are unrelated to the Company’s business; distract, intimidate, or harass coworkers or third parties; or disrupt the workplace.

 

10
 

 

The following guidelines have been established for using the Internet, Company-provided cell phones and e-mail in an appropriate, ethical, and professional manner:

 

Internet, company-provided equipment (e.g., cell phone, laptops and computers), and services may not be used for transmitting, retrieving, or storing any communications of a defamatory, discriminatory, harassing or pornographic nature.
  
The following actions are not tolerated: using abusive, profane or offensive language; and engaging in any illegal activities, including piracy, cracking, extortion, blackmail, copyright infringement, and unauthorized access of any computers and company-provided equipment such as cell phones and laptops.
  
Employees may not copy, retrieve, modify or forward copyrighted materials, except with permission or as a single copy to reference only.
  
Employees must not use the system in a way that disrupts its use by others.
  
Employees should not open suspicious e-mails, pop-ups or downloads. Due to risk of viruses and malware, Employees should not download attachments from unrecognized sources.

No employee may access another employee’s computer, computer files, or electronic mail messages without prior authorization from either the employee or an appropriate Company official.
  
The Company prohibits the use in the workplace of any type of camera phone, cell phone camera, digital camera, video camera, or other form of recording device to record the image or other personal information of another person, if such use would constitute a violation of a civil or criminal statute that protects the person’s right to be free from harassment or from invasion of the person’s right to privacy, or captures confidential or proprietary information of the Company. Employees may take pictures and make recordings during non-working time in a way that does not violate such civil or criminal statutes. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be reported for investigation immediately. The Company reserves the right to report any illegal use of such devices to appropriate law enforcement authorities.

 

11
 

 

Privacy Expectations & Right to Monitor

 

The Company owns the rights to all data and files in any computer, network, or other information system used in the Company and to all data and files sent or received using any company system or using the Company’s access to any computer network, to the extent that such rights are not superseded by applicable laws relating to intellectual property. Employees should not expect privacy in any information or activity conducted, sent, performed, or viewed on or with Company equipment or Internet access. Employees should assume that whatever they do, type, enter, send, receive, and view on Company electronic information systems is electronically stored and subject to inspection, monitoring, evaluation, and Company use at any time

 

The Company reserves the right to monitor electronic mail messages (including personal/private/instant messaging systems) and their content, as well as any and all use by employees of the Internet and of computer equipment used to create, view, or access e-mail and Internet content. The Company has the right to inspect any and all files stored in private areas of the network or on individual computers or storage media in order to assure compliance with Company policies and state and federal laws. The Company routinely monitors use of company-supplied technology. Inappropriate or illegal use or communications may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

 

Social Media—Acceptable Use

 

Use of social media (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn) is a common way of communicating and doing business. Below are guidelines for social media use:

 

Employees may not post financial, confidential, sensitive, or proprietary information about the Company, employees or applicants.
  
Employees may not post obscenities, slurs or personal attacks that can damage the reputation of the Company, employees, or applicants.
  
Certain governments have strict requirements concerning testimonials and endorsements.

The Company may monitor content posted on the Internet. Policy violations may result in discipline up to and including termination of employment.

 

Solicitations, Distributions and Posting of Materials

 

The Company prohibits the solicitation, distribution, and posting of materials on or at Company property by any employee or non-employee, except as may be permitted by this Code. The sole exceptions to this Code are charitable and community activities supported by Company management and Company-sponsored programs related to the Company’s products and services.

 

12
 

 

14. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets

 

All employees are expected to protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s property, such as office supplies and computer equipment, is expected to be used only for legitimate business purposes, although incidental personal use may be permitted. You may not, however, use the Company’s corporate name, any brand name or trademark owned or associated with the Company or any letterhead stationery for any personal purpose. The obligation to protect the Company’s assets includes the Company’s proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as business and marketing plans, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, records and any non-public financial data or reports. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information is prohibited and could also be illegal and result in civil or criminal penalties.

 

You may not, while acting on behalf of the Company or while using its computing or communications equipment or facilities, either:

 

access the internal computer system (also known as “hacking”) or other resource of another entity without express written authorization from the entity responsible for operating that resource; or
   
commit any unlawful or illegal act, including harassment, libel, fraud, sending of unsolicited bulk email (also known as “spam”) in violation of applicable law, trafficking in contraband of any kind, or espionage.

 

If you receive authorization to access another entity’s internal computer system or other resource, you must make a permanent record of that authorization so that it may be retrieved for future reference, and you may not exceed the scope of that authorization.

 

Unsolicited bulk email is regulated by law in a number of jurisdictions. If you intend to send unsolicited bulk email to persons outside of the Company, either while acting on the Company’s behalf or using the Company’s computing or communications equipment or facilities, you should contact your supervisor or a Compliance Officer for approval.

 

All data residing on or transmitted through the Company’s computing and communications facilities, including email and word processing documents, is the property of the Company and subject to inspection, retention and review by the Company, with or without an employee’s or third party’s knowledge, consent or approval, in accordance with applicable law. Any misuse or suspected misuse of the Company’s assets must be immediately reported to your supervisor or a Compliance Officer.

 

15. Confidentiality

 

One of the Company’s most important assets is its confidential information. As an employee of the Company, you may learn information about the Company that is confidential and proprietary. You also may learn of information before that information is released to the general public. Employees who have received or have access to confidential information should take care to keep this information confidential. Confidential information includes non-public information that might be of use to competitors or harmful to Company or its customers if disclosed, such as business and marketing plans, financial information, scientific data, engineering and product ideas, designs, databases, customer lists, pricing strategies, personnel data, personally identifiable information pertaining to the Company’s employees, customers or other individuals (including, for example, names, addresses, telephone numbers and social security numbers), and similar types of information provided to the Company by its customers, suppliers and partners. This information may be protected by patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws.

In addition, because the Company interacts with other companies and organizations, there may be times when you learn confidential information about other companies before that information has been made available to the public. You must treat this information in the same manner as you are required to treat the Company’s confidential and proprietary information. There may even be times when you must treat as confidential the fact that the Company has an interest in, or is involved with, another company.

 

You are expected to keep confidential and proprietary information confidential unless and until that information is released to the public through approved channels (usually through a press release, a filing with the SEC or a formal communication from a member of senior management, as further described in Section 18 below). Every employee has a duty to refrain from disclosing to any person confidential or proprietary information about the Company or any other company learned in the course of employment with the Company, until that information is disclosed to the public through approved channels. This policy requires you to refrain from discussing confidential or proprietary information with outsiders and even with other employees of the Company, unless those fellow employees have a legitimate need to know the information in order to perform their job duties. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information could also be illegal and result in civil liability and/or criminal penalties.

 

You should also take care not to inadvertently disclose confidential information. Materials that contain confidential information, such as memos, notebooks, data storage devices and laptop computers, should be stored securely. Unauthorized posting or discussion of any information concerning the Company’s business, information or prospects on the Internet is prohibited. You may not discuss the Company’s business, information or prospects in any “chat room,” regardless of whether you use your own name or a pseudonym. Be cautious when discussing sensitive information in public places like elevators, airports, restaurants and “quasi-public” areas within the Company, such as the reception area. All Company e-mails, voicemails and other communications are presumed confidential and should not be forwarded or otherwise disseminated outside of the Company, except where required for legitimate business purposes.

 

In addition to the above responsibilities, if you are handling information protected by any privacy policy published by the Company, then you must handle that information in accordance with the applicable policy.

 

16. Media/Public Discussions

 

It is the Company’s policy to disclose material information concerning the Company to the public only through specific limited channels to avoid inappropriate publicity and to ensure that all those with an interest in the Company will have equal access to information. All inquiries or calls from the press should be referred to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer. The Company has designated its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as the company’s official spokespersons for financial matters and for marketing, technical and other related information. Unless a specific exception has been made by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, these designees are the only people who may communicate with the press on behalf of the Company. You also may not provide any information to the media about the Company off the record, for background, confidentially or secretly.

 

14
 

 

17. Waivers

 

Waivers of the Code may only be granted by the Chairman of the Board; provided, however, that any waiver of the Code for executive officers (including, where required by applicable laws, members of the Executive Committee) or members of the Board may be granted only by the Board or a committee of the Board. Any such waiver of the Code for executive officers or members of the Board, and the reasons for such waiver, will be disclosed as required by applicable laws, rules or securities market regulations.

 

18. Compliance Standards and Procedures

 

Compliance Resources

 

The Compliance Officers are persons to whom you can address any questions or concerns. The Compliance Officers are the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Any questions or concerns raised will be dealt with confidentially.

 

In addition to fielding questions or concerns with respect to potential violations of this Code, the Compliance Officers are responsible for:

 

investigating possible violations of the Code;
  
training new employees in Code policies;
  
conducting annual training sessions to refresh employees’ familiarity with the Code;
  
distributing copies of the Code annually via e-mail to each employee with a reminder that each employee is responsible for reading, understanding and complying with the Code;
  
updating the Code as needed and alerting employees to any updates, with appropriate approval of the Board, to reflect changes in the law, the Company’s operations and in recognized best practices, and to reflect the Company’s experience; and
  
otherwise promoting an atmosphere of responsible and ethical conduct.

 

Your most immediate resource for any matter related to the Code is your supervisor. He or she may have the information you need or may be able to refer the question to another appropriate source. There may, however, be times when you prefer not to go to your supervisor. In these instances, you should feel free to discuss your concern with a Compliance Officer. If you are uncomfortable speaking with a Compliance Officer because he or she works in your department or is one of your supervisors, please contact the Chairman of the Nomination and Compensation Committee.

 

15
 

 

Clarifying Questions and Concerns; Reporting Possible Violations

 

If you encounter a situation or are considering a course of action and its appropriateness is unclear, discuss the matter promptly with your supervisor or a Compliance Officer; even the appearance of impropriety can be very damaging and should be avoided.

 

If you are aware of a suspected or actual violation of Code standards by others, you have a responsibility to report it. You are expected to promptly provide a compliance resource with a specific description of the violation that you believe has occurred, including any information you have about the persons involved and the time of the violation. Whether you choose to speak with your supervisor or to a Compliance Officer, you should do so without fear of any form of retaliation. The Company will take prompt disciplinary action against any employee who retaliates against you, up to and including termination of employment.

 

Supervisors must promptly report any complaints or observations of Code violations to a Compliance Officer. If you believe your supervisor has not taken appropriate action, you should contact a Compliance Officer directly. The Compliance Officers will investigate all reported possible Code violations promptly and with the highest degree of confidentiality that is possible under the specific circumstances. All directors, officers and employees are expected to cooperate in any internal investigation of misconduct. Neither you nor your supervisor may conduct any preliminary investigation, unless authorized to do so by a Compliance Officer. Your cooperation in the investigation will be expected. As needed, the Compliance Officers will consult with the Human Resources Department and/or the Board. It is the Company’s policy to employ a fair process by which to determine violations of the Code.

 

With respect to any complaints or observations of Code violations that may involve accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing concerns, the Compliance Officers shall promptly inform the Board, and such other persons as the Board determines to be appropriate under the circumstances shall be responsible for supervising and overseeing the inquiry and any investigation that is undertaken.

 

If any investigation indicates that a violation of the Code has probably occurred, the Company will take such action as it believes to be appropriate under the circumstances. If the Company determines that an employee is responsible for a Code violation, he or she will be subject to disciplinary action up to, and including, termination of employment and, in appropriate cases, civil legal action or referral for regulatory or criminal prosecution. Appropriate action may also be taken to deter any future Code violations.

 

16
 

 

19. Dissemination and Amendment

 

This Code will be distributed to each new employee, officer and director of the Company upon commencement of his or her employment or other relationship with Company and will also be distributed annually. The Company may amend this Code. The Company will disclose any amendments pertaining to executive officers or directors as required by law or securities market regulations.

 

20. Certification

 

You should read this Code carefully. Each director, officer or other employee of the Company designated by a Compliance Officer based on such employee’s role, function and/or seniority at the Company must promptly certify his or her understanding of, and intent to comply with, this policy by signing the certification attached hereto.
