Item
5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers: Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
On
September 3, 2025, the board of directors (the “Board”) of AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) unanimously
resolved to appoint Baharom Bin Embi (“Datuk Baharom”) as independent director to the Board, effective October 1, 2025.
Datuk Baharom will serve on the Company’s Audit Committee.
Datuk
Baharom Bin Embi, 65, was appointed Chairman of Co-opbank Pertama Malaysia Berhad in October 2021 and has since overseen the bank’s
financial performance and digital transformation initiatives, including the implementation of its Project FIRST Core Banking and various
retail and corporate financing systems. Datuk Baharom also serves on the board of directors of Institut Koperasi Malaysia, is
the Chairman of the Federasi Koperasi Kewangan Malaysia, and has served as an advisor to Humanology Sdn Bhd since 2019. Between
2015 and 2018, Datuk Baharom was Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of TEKUN Nasional, an agency under the Ministry
of Entrepreneurial and Cooperative Development in Malaysia. From 1987 to 2014, Datuk Baharom served in senior management roles
across branch operations, treasury, human resources, and strategic planning at Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Berhad. He began
his career in 1982 as an operations officer at Public Finance Berhad.
Datuk
Baharom holds a Master of Business Administration in Decision Support Systems (1986) and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics
and Finance (1984) from the University of Southern New Hampshire, as well as a Diploma in Business Management from MARA University of
Technology (1979). He is a certified Islamic Financial Planner and has undertaken various professional qualifications in Islamic finance
and takaful (a sharia law compliant alternative to conventional insurance). In recognition of his service, he has been conferred
several national honors, including the Darjah Pangkuan Seri Melaka (D.P.S.M.) awarded
for significant contribution to Malaysia’s growth, which bestowed upon
him the title of “Datuk.”
The Board believes that Datuk Baharom’s
experience makes him ideally qualified to help lead the Company towards continued growth and success.
In
connection with his appointment, Datuk Baharom entered into a director agreement with the Company (the “Baharom Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Baharom Agreement, Datuk Baharom
shall receive a monthly fee of $500 in cash as compensation for his services as independent director.
Datuk
Baharom do not have any family relationships with any of the Company’s directors or executive officers, or any person nominated
or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive director, and there are no arrangements or understandings with any person
pursuant to which he was selected as director of the Company. He is not a party to any related party transactions
within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. As of the date of this report, Datuk Baharom beneficially owns 14,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Board has determined that such ownership does not affect his independence.
Item 5.02 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K contains only a brief description of the material terms of and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and
obligations of the parties to the Baharom Agreement, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of the Baharom Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
