AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of March 15 , 2024, by and between EUDA Health Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (the “Company”), and Meng Dong (James) Tan (“Mr. Tan”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of loan agreement dated May 15, 2023 (the “Loan Agreement”), the Company borrowed the sum of US$22,500.00 from Mr. Tan (the “Original Loan”). 

 

WHEREAS, the total amount owed by the Company to Mr. Tan under the Original Loan as of the date of this Agreement is US$24,004.11 (including accrued but unpaid interest) (the “Total Loan”), the computation of which is set forth in Exhibit A.

 

WHEREAS, Mr. Tan has agreed to (i) exchange the Total Loan for a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”); (ii) extend the maturity date of the Total Loan to March 14, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), and (iii) allow the outstanding unpaid balance of the Total Loan to bear no interest for the next twelve months until the Maturity Date.

 

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:

 

1. The parties to this agreement hereby agree that the Total Loan outstanding shall be paid to Mr. Tan in full, by the Company issuing a new promissory note that will be convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, in the amount of the Total Loan (the “Convertible Note”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

2. The ordinary shares to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note (the “Shares”) will remain restricted securities until they are registered or the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company and its transfer agent that registration of such securities under the provisions of applicable laws is not required.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
