Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private placement of Series A units, raising gross proceeds of approximately $1,143,000 in an initial closing. Each Unit consists of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one warrant to buy one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0625 per share.

The preferred stock is initially convertible into common stock at $0.05 per share, with adjustment and price-reset features. The offering allows sales of up to $5,000,000 of Units plus up to an additional $5,000,000 under an overallotment option, in multiple closings through June 30, 2026. Zoomcar granted investors registration rights for the underlying common shares and agreed to liquidated damages if registration deadlines are missed.

ThinkEquity LLC is acting as exclusive placement agent, earning cash fees totaling 11.0% of gross proceeds and receiving placement agent warrants. At the first closing, Zoomcar issued placement agent warrants covering 115 common shares, and filed a Certificate of Designation establishing the rights of the new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Insights

Zoomcar raises initial preferred-and-warrant funding with significant potential upsize.

Zoomcar has completed an initial private placement of $1,143,000 in Series A units, combining convertible preferred stock and warrants. The structure includes an initial conversion price of $0.05 per share and warrant exercise price of $0.0625, which can materially increase common share count if fully converted and exercised.

The agreement contemplates up to $5,000,000 of Units plus a further $5,000,000 overallotment, so total capital raised and potential dilution depend on additional closings. Registration rights with liquidated damages create obligations to register the underlying common shares within specified periods, adding compliance and timing pressure.

ThinkEquity’s compensation of a 10.0% cash fee, 1.0% non-accountable allowance, and placement agent warrants expands transaction costs but may support placement effectiveness. Future company disclosures for periods after June 30, 2026 will clarify how much of the full contemplated offering is ultimately completed and the resulting capital structure.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"designating a series of the Company’s preferred stock as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock"
Series A convertible preferred stock is a class of shares sold in an early funding round that gives investors a mix of protection and upside: it pays a priority claim over common shares if the company is sold or closes, but can be converted into ordinary shares to share in future growth. Think of it like a hybrid between a safer stake and a ticket to ownership; it matters to investors because it affects who controls the company, how future gains are split, and how much their investment is protected from downside.
Registration Rights Agreement financial
"the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”)"
A registration rights agreement is a contract that gives investors the option to have their ownership stakes officially registered with the government, making it easier to sell their shares later. This agreement matters because it provides investors with a clearer path to cash out their investments if they choose, offering more liquidity and confidence in their ability to sell their holdings when desired.
Rule 506(c) of Regulation D regulatory
"The Offering is being conducted pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) ... and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D"
Certificate of Designation regulatory
"in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations"
A certificate of designation is a formal document that spells out the specific rights and rules attached to a particular class or series of stock, usually preferred shares. Think of it as a rulebook or menu that lists dividend terms, liquidation priority, conversion or redemption rights and any special voting protections; investors use it to judge how much income, control or downside protection those shares will provide compared with other securities.
accredited investor financial
"including that each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D"
An accredited investor is an individual or entity that meets certain financial criteria, such as having a high income or significant net worth, allowing them to invest in private or less regulated investment opportunities. This status matters because it grants access to investments that are often riskier or less available to the general public, reflecting a higher level of financial knowledge or resources.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 2, 2026, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) in connection with the initial closing (the “First Closing”) of a private placement of the Company’s Series A units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), and (ii) one Series A warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Warrants,” and the transaction, the “Offering”). The Units were sold at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit. The Offering is being conducted pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

At the First Closing, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,143 Units, consisting of 1,143 Preferred Shares and Warrants to purchase up to 1,143 shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,143,000, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. The Offering provides for the sale of up to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of Units, plus up to an additional $5,000,000 of Units issuable pursuant to an overallotment option exercisable by the placement agent in its sole discretion, in one or more closings, with a minimum subscription threshold of $1,000,000 having been satisfied. The Offering is scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2026, unless extended in the Company’s discretion. Subscription amounts were deposited into escrow with CSC Delaware Trust Company, as escrow agent, pending the First Closing.

 

The Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), at an initial conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein, including pursuant to an alternate conversion right and price-reset provisions set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0625 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein, are exercisable beginning on the date of issuance, and expire five (5) years from the date of issuance.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants by no later than the fifteenth (15th) calendar day following the First Closing, and to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within the time periods specified therein. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for the payment of partial liquidated damages in certain circumstances if the Company fails to satisfy its registration obligations.

 

ThinkEquity LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Offering pursuant to a placement agent agreement, dated as of June 2, 2026 (the “Placement Agent Agreement”), between the Company and the Placement Agent. As compensation for its services, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 10.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company from the Purchasers at each closing, to reimburse certain of the Placement Agent’s expenses, to pay a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds, and to issue to the Placement Agent (or its designees) warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the shares of Common Stock underlying the securities sold in the Offering, assuming full conversion. At the First Closing, the Company issued Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 115 shares of Common Stock, having terms substantially similar to the Warrants.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

 

The Units, the Preferred Shares, the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants described in Item 1.01 above, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants, were offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on these exemptions based, in part, on representations made by each Purchaser, including that each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, and the Company took reasonable steps to verify each Purchaser’s accredited investor status. The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

In connection with the Offering, on June 2, 2026, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, designating a series of the Company’s preferred stock as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and establishing the rights, preferences and limitations thereof. The Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing.

 

The description of the Certificate of Designation set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03 and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
