Insights

DigiAsia plans to swap a key subsidiary for a large minority stake in PayMate.

DigiAsia is proposing to transfer full ownership of its DigiAsia Bios subsidiary into PayMate’s structure via Brainstorm Consulting Private Limited. In return, it would receive 248,000 shares of the Purchaser and then 116,944,300 PayMate shares, targeting roughly a 49% fully diluted stake.

The structure uses two tightly linked closings, with the Coordination Deed making clear they are parts of one unified deal. Execution depends on funding, regulatory approvals, consents, and a voluntary shareholder vote, so completion risk remains until those conditions are satisfied.

The Letter Agreement contemplates additional investment by PayMate or its subsidiaries into DigiAsia Bios after the second closing, with proceeds earmarked for strengthening the Singapore-Indonesia balance sheet, regulatory capital, working capital, and local compliance obligations. Actual timing and scale of these benefits will depend on future implementation.

Conditions precedent are the specific tasks, approvals, or facts that must be satisfied before a contract or transaction becomes effective or a payment is made. Think of them as a checklist you must complete before turning the key on a new machine; if items are missing the deal can be delayed, renegotiated, or canceled. Investors watch these conditions because they determine timing, completion risk, and whether expected benefits will actually occur.

Entry into Definitive Agreements for Proposed Transaction with PayMate India Limited

On May 9, 2026, DigiAsia Corp. (the "Company"), DigiAsia Bios Pte Ltd ("DigiAsia Bios"), a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Singapore and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and PayMate India Limited ("PayMate"), an unlisted public limited company incorporated in India, entered into definitive transaction agreements consisting of a Share Purchase Agreement (the "SPA"), a Coordination Deed (the "Coordination Deed"), and a Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement," and together with the SPA and the Coordination Deed, the "Transaction Documents") in connection with a proposed multi-step transaction (the "Proposed Transaction"). The consummation of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions precedent, including funding, regulatory approvals, consents, final closing mechanics, and shareholder approval by the Company. No assurance can be given that the Proposed Transaction will close on the currently contemplated terms, ownership structure, or timeline.

 

Share Purchase Agreement

 

Pursuant to the SPA, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of applicable conditions precedent, the Company has agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of DigiAsia Bios to Brainstorm Consulting Private Limited, a private company organized under the laws of India and a subsidiary of PayMate (the "Purchaser"), in exchange for equity consideration, structured in two sequential closings.

 

At the first closing, (i) the Company will sell and transfer to the Purchaser 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of DigiAsia Bios, and (ii) the Purchaser will issue to the Company 248,000 equity shares, representing approximately 99.60% of the Purchaser's share capital on a fully diluted basis, as consideration for such sale. At the second closing, (i) the Company will sell and transfer all of its shares in the Purchaser to PayMate, and (ii) PayMate will issue to the Company 116,944,300 equity shares, representing approximately 49% of PayMate's share capital on a fully diluted basis, as consideration for such sale. The first closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions precedent by each party, including the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, consents, and funding. The first closing is required to occur within 60 Business Days of the execution date of the SPA (the "First Long Stop Date"). The second closing is required to occur on the next business day following the first closing, or such other date as the parties may mutually agree, but in no event later than 30 Business Days after the first closing date.

 

If the Proposed Transaction is consummated, the current commercial framework contemplates that (a) PayMate would own 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Purchaser, (b) the Purchaser would own 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of DigiAsia Bios, and (c) the Company would hold approximately 49% of Paymate, in each case subject to final documentation, approvals, and closing.

 

The Company is also seeking to obtain approval from its shareholders of the Proposed Transaction prior to the second closing, which approval is not legally required but being acquired in the interest of the shareholders. The SPA contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations for a transaction of this nature.

 

The consummation of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions precedent, including applicable funding-related conditions, regulatory approvals, consents, final closing mechanics, and voluntary shareholder approval adopted by the Board as part of the transaction process.

 

Coordination Deed

 

Concurrently with the execution of the SPA, the parties entered into the Coordination Deed, which establishes a framework governing the interrelationship, interpretation, and enforcement of the Transaction Documents. The Coordination Deed confirms that the first closing and the second closing are interdependent and integrated components of a single, unified transaction, and provides that the Transaction Documents shall be interpreted jointly and consistently to give effect to the parties' intended deal structure. The Coordination Deed further provides that the SPA shall be null and void and of no force or effect unless the Letter Agreement and the Coordination Deed are duly executed and delivered concurrently with or immediately following the execution of the SPA.

 

Letter Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution of the SPA, the parties entered into the Letter Agreement, which supplements the SPA. Under the Letter Agreement, subject to sufficient cash being available with PayMate, PayMate or its subsidiaries shall invest into DigiAsia Bios at such time after the second closing and in such form and manner as may be mutually agreed between the parties. The proceeds of such investment are required to be used for strengthening the balance sheet of the Singapore-Indonesia business, meeting regulatory capital requirements, general working capital for local operations, paying existing debt obligations, and meeting applicable local regulatory and compliance obligations.
