INTRODUCTORY NOTE
As previously disclosed, Innovative International Acquisition Corp. (“IOAC”) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as may be amended or supplemented, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 13, 2022, by and among IOAC, Zoomcar, Inc. (“Zoomcar”), Innovative International Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Greg Moran, in the capacity as the Seller Representative for the purposes and as described under the Merger Agreement (the “Seller Representative”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, IOAC will continue out of the Cayman Islands and re-domesticate into a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). We refer to transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, collectively, including the Domestication and the issuance of IOAC securities in connection therewith, as the “Business Combination”. In connection with the Domestication and the Business Combination, IOAC will be renamed “Zoomcar Holdings, Inc.” (referred to herein as “New Zoomcar”).
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information provided in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As previously disclosed on IOAC’s current reports on Form 8-K filed on September 12, 2022, January 4, 2023, January 20, 2023, May 10, 2023, July 26, 2023, August 21, 2023 and December 1, 2023, IOAC issued promissory notes to Innovative International Sponsor I LLC, IOAC’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), and its affiliates, including Ananda Small Business Trust (“Ananda Trust”), for general operating purposes and for expenses incurred in connection with extensions of the date by which IOAC must consummate an initial business combination (such promissory notes, the “Existing Notes”). As of the date hereof, (i) approximately $2,027,840 is outstanding under the Existing Notes payable to Ananda Small Business Trust (“Ananda Trust”), payable on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, and of such outstanding amount, $500,000 may be converted, at Ananda Trust’s option, into IOAC Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, and approximately $1,527,840 is payable only in cash; and (ii) approximately $1,231,368 is outstanding under the Existing Notes payable in cash to certain passive investors of the Sponsor.
On December 18, 2023, IOAC issued (i) an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “New Ananda Trust Note”), the principal amount of which is equal to the total amount owed to Ananda Trust under the Existing Notes. The New Ananda Trust Note bears no interest and the principal balance of the New Ananda Trust Note will be payable by New Zoomcar 90 days after the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”), and, on the Maturity date, the holder of the New Ananda Trust Note may convert any amounts outstanding into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Zoomcar, at a conversion price lower than the redemption price per public share in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) unsecured promissory notes to certain passive investors of the Sponsor, the principal amounts of which are equal to the total amounts owed to such passive investors under the Existing Notes, with substantially the same terms of the Existing Notes issued to such passive investors (together with the New Ananda Trust Note, the “Replacement Notes”).
Upon receipt by Ananda Trust and the passive investors of the respective Replacement Notes, any and all obligations owing by IOAC or the Sponsor under the Existing Notes will be satisfied and discharged in full and the respective Existing Notes will immediately and automatically terminate and be of no further effect.
The foregoing description of the Replacement Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such notes, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement referenced above and other documents filed by IOAC from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and IOAC and Zoomcar disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of developments occurring after the date of this communication. Forecasts and estimates regarding Zoomcar’s industry and end markets are based on sources we believe to be reliable, however there can be no assurance these forecasts and estimates will prove accurate in whole or in part. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Maker to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.
1. Principal. The principal balance of Note shall be payable 90 days after the Maker consummates its initial business combination (the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.
2. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
3. Conversion.

Other than the Share Conversion Price, each Share will contain terms identical to those of the Shares that Maker issued in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) simultaneously with the closing of Maker’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) as more fully described in the prospectus for the IPO dated October 26, 2021 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Before this Note may be converted under this Section 3(a), Payee shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the office of Maker and shall state therein the amount of the unpaid principal of this Note to be converted and the name or names in which the certificates for Shares are to be issued. The conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of this Note and the person or persons entitled to receive the Shares upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Shares as of such date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that all principal on this Note has been paid in full on or prior to the Maturity Date, then Payee shall not be entitled to convert any portion of this Note into Shares.
(b) Remaining Principal. All accrued and unpaid principal of this Note that is not then converted into Shares shall continue to remain outstanding and to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Note.
