Re: Transfer of Founder Shares as Representative ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This transfer agreement (this “Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and among InFinT Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC (previously known as Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC) as representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”), including JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“JonesTrading”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of up to 19,999,880 of the Company’s units, including up to 2,608,680 units that may be purchased pursuant to the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional units (the “Over-Allotment Option”), each comprised of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”) (the “Units”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units will be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) as filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In order to induce the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, InFinT Capital LLC, (the “Sponsor”), the Company and the Representative hereby agree as follows:
1. Transfer of Founder Shares.
(a) The Sponsor hereby agrees to assign, transfer and convey to JonesTrading (and/or its designees) an aggregate of 26,087 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Founder Shares”), or up to 30,000 Founder Shares if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) to JonesTrading (the “Representative’s Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company and JonesTrading intend for the Representative Shares to be underwriter’s compensation pursuant to Rule 5110 of the FINRA Manual.
(b) Delivery for 30,000 Representative’s Shares shall be made on the closing date of the Underwriting Agreement. On such date, the Sponsor shall deliver to JonesTrading or its designees, such Representative’s Shares, and the Company will facilitate such transfer with its transfer agent so that such Representative’s Shares are delivered in book-entry form in the name or names and in such authorized denominations as JonesTrading may request.
(c) Partial or No Exercise of the Over-allotment Option. In the event the Over-allotment Option granted to the Underwriters is not exercised in full, JonesTrading acknowledges and agrees that it shall immediately assign, transfer and convey back to Sponsor any and all rights to such number of Representative’s Shares (up to an aggregate of 3,913 Representative’s Shares and pro rata based upon the percentage of the Over-allotment Option exercised) such that immediately following such assignment, transfer and conveyance, JonesTrading will own an aggregate number of Founder Shares (not including class A ordinary shares purchased by JonesTrading in the IPO or in the aftermarket) equal to 0.15% (i.e., 30% of the 0.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering at $10.00 per share.
(d) Termination of Rights. If any of the Representative’s Shares are assigned, transferred and conveyed back to Sponsor in accordance with this Section 2, then after such time JonesTrading (or successor in interest), shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Representative’s Shares, and the Company shall take such action as is appropriate to facilitate the transfer back to Sponsor of such shares.
