SCHEDULE 13D/A

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D/A”) is being filed on behalf of Innovative International Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Reporting Person” or “Sponsor”) for the purpose of updating the ownership percentage of the Reporting Person reported in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 5, 2021 (the “Statement”) as a result of the redemption of approximately 19,949,665 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Innovative International Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”), as reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on January 20, 2023.

 

This Schedule 13D/A is being filed to report amendments to the Statement as specifically set forth herein. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Statement.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This statement on this Schedule 13D/A relates to the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Issuer whose principal executive offices are located at 24681 La Plaza, Suite 300, Dana Point, CA 92629.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

The Schedule 13D/A is being filed by the following persons (the “Reporting Persons”):

 

Innovative International Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”); and

 

Mohan Ananda.

 

Sponsor is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Mohan Ananda is the managing member of Sponsor. The address for the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is 24681 La Plaza, Suite 300, Dana Point, CA 92629.

 

The principal business of Sponsor is investing in securities, including the securities of the Issuer. Mr. Mohan Ananda is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer.

 

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Placement Shares (as defined below) was $9,600,000. The aggregate purchase price for the Founder Shares (as defined below) was $25,000. In each case, the source of these funds was the working capital of Sponsor.

 

 

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Founder Shares

 

On April 17, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. In September 2021, the Issuer effected a dividend of approximately 1.12 shares for each outstanding Class B ordinary share, resulting in there being an aggregate of 8,050,000 Founder Shares outstanding, which amount included an aggregate of up to 1,050,000 Founder Shares that were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full. Since the underwriters’ over-allotment was fully exercised, the Sponsor did not forfeit any Founder Shares. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Ordinary Shares at the time of the Issuer’s initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights.

 

Placement Shares

 

On October 29, 2021, as part of a private placement shares purchase agreement dated October 26, 2021 (the “Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement”), Sponsor purchased 960,000 placement shares (the “Placement Shares”) from the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $9,600,000.

 

The foregoing description of the Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Letter Agreement

 

Sponsor and the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which Sponsor agreed to (i) waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the Issuer’s initial Business Combination and (ii) waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its Founder Shares if the Issuer fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (although the Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares it holds if the Issuer fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame).

 

Voting Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Sponsor agreed to vote any Founder Shares, Placement Shares, and any Ordinary Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination. If the Issuer submits the Business Combination to its public shareholders for a vote, the Issuer will complete the Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

 

 

 

Lock-up Agreement

 

Further pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Sponsor agreed that the Founder Shares, Placement Shares, and securities contained therein are not transferable or salable (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, or (y) the date following the completion of the Issuer’s business combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the Placement Shares, until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, except in the case (a) to the Issuer’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of the Issuer’s officers or directors, any members of the Sponsor, or any affiliates of the Sponsor, (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization, (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual, (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangements or in connection with the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased, (f) in the event of the Issuer’s liquidation prior to the Issuer’s completion of Business Combination, or (g) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s operating agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e) or (g), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and by the same agreements entered into by the Sponsor with respect to such securities (including provisions relating to voting, the trust account and liquidation distributions described elsewhere in this prospectus).

 

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Sponsor, pursuant to which Sponsor is entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Issuer register Founder Shares, Placement Shares, any Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Founder Shares, and any Ordinary Shares that may be issued as part of working capital loans. In addition, Sponsor has certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Business Combination and rights to require the Issuer to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

General

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D/A for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement, any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon each Reporting Person’s review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

 

Subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to registered transactions pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, each of the Reporting Persons and its respective designees to the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) may engage in discussions with management, the Board, and securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or other transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Ordinary Shares; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Board. There can be no assurance, however, that the Reporting Persons will propose such a transaction or that any such transaction would be successfully implemented.

 

Other than as described above, each of the Reporting Persons does not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, each of the Reporting Persons may change its respective purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 4 above summarizes certain provisions of the Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement, Letter Agreement, and Registration Rights Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of these agreements are attached as exhibits to this Schedule 13D/A, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

On October 13, 2022, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Zoomcar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zoomcar”), Innovative International Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovative, and Greg Moran, in the capacity as the representative of the Zoomcar stockholders from and after the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on October 13, 2022, Ananda Small Business Trust, a Nevada Trust (“Ananda Trust”), an affiliate of the Sponsor and Mohan Ananda, invested an aggregate of $10,000,000 in Zoomcar (the “Ananda Trust Investment”), in exchange for a convertible promissory note (the “Ananda Trust Note”) issued by Zoomcar to Ananda Trust, Zoomcar's repayment obligation under which will be offset against the obligations of Ananda Trust under the Ananda Trust Subscription Agreement (as defined below).

 

Ananda Trust Subscription Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on October 13, 2022, Ananda Trust entered into an agreement (the “Ananda Trust Subscription Agreement”) to subscribe for 1,000,000 newly issued common shares of the Issuer at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, contingent upon the Closing. Furthermore, simultaneously with the signing of the Merger Agreement, Ananda Trust completed the Ananda Trust Investment, in exchange for the Ananda Trust Note. Ananda Trust’s payment obligations under the Ananda Trust Subscription Agreement will be offset against the repayment obligations of Zoomcar under the Ananda Trust Note upon the Closing.

 

The Ananda Trust Subscription Agreement includes registration rights obligations on the part of the Issuer and is conditioned on the concurrent Closing and other customary closing conditions. Among other things, Ananda Trust will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom). In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated, the Ananda Trust Note issued by Zoomcar in consideration of the Ananda Trust Investment will be exchanged for a new convertible promissory note issued by Zoomcar, and such note will be convertible into common shares of the Issuer upon the consummation of a subsequent financing of Zoomcar in which Zoomcar raises an aggregate of at least $5 million, and the Ananda Trust Subscription Agreement will terminate automatically.

 

 

 

The foregoing description of the Ananda Trust Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Sponsor Support Agreement

 

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, on October 13, 2022, the Sponsor, the Issuer and Zoomcar entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to (i) vote all ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Sponsor at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (ii) not to redeem or transfer any of the shares held by the Sponsor, or deposit into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement in a manner inconsistent with the Sponsor Support Agreement. The Sponsor also agreed to waive the anti-dilution rights associated with the shares held by Sponsor and Sponsor agreed that it shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the Issuer and Zoomcar in connection with obtaining certain financings.

 

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

September 2022 Note

 

On September 7, 2022, the Issuer issued an unsecured promissory note (the “September 2022 Note”), in the amount of up to $500,000 to Ananda Trust. The September 2022 Note bears no interest and the principal balance is payable on the date of the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination (the “Maturity Date”). On or before the Maturity Date, Ananda Trust has the option to convert all or any portion of the principal outstanding under the September 2022 Note into Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer (“Working Capital Shares”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per share. The terms of the Working Capital Shares, if any, would be identical to the terms of the Private Placement Shares issued by the Issuer at the time of its initial public offering. The September 2022 Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the September 2022 Note and all other sums payable with regard to the September 2022 Note becoming immediately due and payable. The conversion feature included in the September 2022 Note does not meet definition of the derivative instrument. As of January 31, 2023, there was $500,000 outstanding under the September 2022 Note.

 

The foregoing description of the September 2022 Note does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the note, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons or Related Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting of such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
