non-qualified stock options financial
"Represents 2,500,000 Ordinary Share non-qualified stock options granted under"
Non-qualified stock options are a type of employee benefit that gives individuals the right to buy company shares at a set price, usually lower than the market value, within a certain period. Unlike other options that may have special tax advantages, these options are taxed as income when exercised, which can affect how much money the employee or investor ultimately gains. They are important because they can influence company compensation strategies and impact the financial outcomes for employees and investors.
2024 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"granted under the Currenc Group Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan on August 12, 2025"
beneficial ownership financial
"Represents Ordinary Shares held by Regal Planet Limited, which is controlled by the Reporting Person"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
