CURRENC GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On March 4, 2025 Currenc has initiated the conversion of all outstanding principal of the note and accrued interest to shares of the company and subsequently completed the conversion at June 27, 2025. Principal and accrued interest totaling of $2,022,435 has been converted into 1,027,996 shares of the company, at a conversion price of $2 per share for principal part and $1.40 per share for accrued interest part. The whole amount has been converted from liabilities to equity and no gain or loss was recognized on extinguishment. Derecognition of the liabilities has been recorded as Common stock and additional paid in capital.

 

The 136,110 Warrants expire at the earlier of five years from issuance and the liquidation of the Company, as defined in the Warrant Agreement. The warrant is treated as an equity instrument based on terms in the Warrant Agreement. The proceeds received for this transaction are allocated first to the Convertible Promissory Note and any residual proceeds are allocated to the Warrant.

 

Upon the issuance of Convertible Promissory Note and Warranty, cash of $1,750,000 was received. Convertible Promissory Note has a fair value of $2,000,000 and the Warrants were allocated a value of zero on issuance.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of its PIPE Convertible Notes using the Income Approach (Binomial Option Pricing Model). The fair value measurement incorporates both observable and unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The PIPE Convertible Notes were initially recognized on August 31, 2024, upon issuance.

 

As of August 31, 2024, and December 31, 2024, the key assumptions used in the valuation were as follows:

 

Key Assumptions  August 31, 2024   December 31, 2024 
Stock Price (USD)   6.28    1.80 
Risk-Free Rate (%)   4.11    4.09 
Volatility Rate (%)   36.86    47.23 
Bond Yield (%)   15.55    13.90 

 

The fair value derived from the Binomial Option Pricing Model reflected changes in market conditions, including fluctuations in stock price, volatility, and credit risk. While the valuation as of December 31, 2024, incorporated updated assumptions, the resulting change in fair value was determined to be negligible.

 

Given the immaterial impact of the valuation changes on the financial statements, management has determined that no adjustment is necessary to the fair value of the PIPE Convertible Notes from the initial recognition date (August 31, 2024) through year-end (December 31, 2024).
