Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. launched two capital structure initiatives. The company commenced an offer to exchange several classes of outstanding warrants for shares of common stock. Exchange ratios vary by instrument, including 20,000 shares of common stock for each Common Warrant and 10 shares of common stock for each Series A Warrant, Series B Warrant, Pre-Funded Warrant, Bridge Placement Agent Warrant, Placement Agent Warrant and Series A Placement Agent Warrant that are tendered and accepted. The shares to be issued are intended to rely on the Section 3(a)(9) registration exemption and the offer is conditioned on stockholder approval of an increase in authorized common shares.
On the same date, Zoomcar launched a Bridge Financing private placement under Rule 506(c), offering up to $5,000,000 of units, with a minimum of $2,000,000 required by February 28, 2026. Each $1,000 Unit consists of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, initially convertible at $0.05 per common share, and a warrant to buy one common share at an initial exercise price of $0.0625 per share.
Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. entered into a private financing with FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC on December 10, 2025. The company issued a 12% convertible promissory note with an original principal amount of $220,000, sold at a $20,000 original issue discount, providing $200,000 in net proceeds. The note matures 12 months after issuance, includes scheduled installment repayments, and may be prepaid in full at a discount to the outstanding balance, subject to its terms.
On an uncured default after 180 days from closing, FirstFire may convert outstanding obligations into common stock at 75% of the lowest trading price over the prior 15 trading days, a 25% discount to market, and the outstanding balance increases to 150% of unpaid principal and accrued interest. Zoomcar also issued pre-funded warrants for 1,000,000 shares of common stock as additional consideration and to fully settle and release all prior claims related to earlier FirstFire investments. FirstFire received 12‑month piggyback registration rights and a 12‑month right to benefit from more favorable economic terms in certain substantially similar note financings. The note, warrants and any conversion shares were issued as unregistered securities under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D.
