Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Prepaid Forward Agreement
On November 13, 2022, 8i Acquisition 2 Corp. (the "Company, "8i" or "LAX"), EUDA
Health Limited ("EUDA" or "EUDA Health") and certain institutional investor (the
"Seller") entered into an agreement (the "Prepaid Forward Agreement") for an
equity prepaid forward transaction (the "Prepaid Forward Transaction"). Pursuant
to the terms of the Prepaid Forward Agreement, Seller may (i) purchase through a
broker in the open market, from holders of Shares (as defined below) other than
the Company or affiliates thereof, 8i's Ordinary Shares, no par value, (the
"Shares"), or (ii) reverse Seller's prior exercise of redemption rights as to
Shares in connection with the Business Combination (all such purchased or
reversed Shares, the "Recycled Shares"). While Seller has no obligation to
purchase any Shares under the Prepaid Forward Agreement, the aggregate total
Recycled Shares that may be purchased or reversed under the Prepaid Forward
Agreement shall be no more than 1,125,000 shares (the "Maximum Number of
Shares"). The number of Recycled Shares that are actually purchased or reversed
under the Prepaid Forward Agreement is referred to as the "Number of Shares".
Seller has agreed to hold the Recycled Shares for the benefit of (a) 8i until
the closing of the Business Combination (the "Closing") and (b) EUDA after the
Closing (each a "Counterparty"). Seller also may not beneficially own greater
than 9.9% of issued and outstanding Shares following the Business Combination.
The Prepaid Forward Agreement provides that Seller shall be paid directly, out
of the funds held in 8i's Trust Account, a cash amount (the "Prepayment Amount")
a cash amount equal to (i) the Number of Shares underlying the Transaction as
set forth in the Seller's notice, multiplied by (ii) the per share redemption
price (the "Redemption Price") to be paid for redeemed shares in connection with
the shareholders' vote on the Business Combination.
In addition to the Prepayment Amount, Seller shall be paid directly from the
Trust Account an amount equal to the product of 100,000 multiplied by the
Redemption Price for the purpose of repayment of Seller purchasing in the open
market prior to Closing, 100,000 Shares (the "Additional Purchased Shares"),
which Shares shall not be included in the Number of Shares under the Prepaid
Forward Agreement.
Seller may in its discretion sell Recycled Shares that Seller purchases, the
effect of which is to terminate the Prepaid Forward Agreement in respect of such
Recycled Shares sold (the "Terminated Shares"). The Counterparty shall be
entitled to receive proceeds from such sales of Terminated Shares equal to the
product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares multiplied by (y) the Reset
Price. Following the Closing, the "Reset Price" will initially be $10.00 per
Share, but will be adjusted on each of the first and eleventh scheduled trading
day of each calendar month (each a "Reset Date") commencing immediately
following the Closing of the Business Combination to the lowest of (a) the
then-current Reset Price, (b) $10.00 and (c) the greater of (x) $5.00 (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations,
recapitalizations and similar events) and (y) the quotient of (I) the sum of the
daily VWAP of the Shares of the Counterparty on each scheduled trading day
during the ten scheduled trading day period ending, and including, the scheduled
trading day immediately preceding the applicable Reset Date, divided by (II) ten
(10); provided, however, that to the extent Counterparty sells, enters any
agreement to sell or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or
issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition) any Shares or any securities of Counterparty or any of their
respective subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any
time Shares, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right,
option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to
receive, Shares, at an effective price per share less than the then existing
Reset Price, then the Reset Price shall be adjusted to equal such reduced price.

The maturity date of the Transaction (the "Maturity Date") will be the earliest
to occur of (a) the first anniversary of the Closing and (b) the date specified
by Seller in a written notice to be delivered at Seller's discretion (not
earlier than the day such notice is effective) after any occurrence wherein
during any 30 consecutive trading-day period, the dollar volume-weighted average
price (the "VWAP Price") of the Shares for 20 trading days is less than $3.00
per Share (a "VWAP Trigger Event"). Upon the occurrence of the Maturity Date,
Counterparty is obligated to pay to Seller an amount equal to the product of (a)
(x) the number of Recycled Shares less (y) the number of Terminated Shares
multiplied by (b) $2.50 (the "Maturity Consideration"). The Maturity
Consideration shall be payable by Counterparty, in cash or, at the option of
Counterparty, Shares based on the daily VWAP Price over 30 trading days ending
on (i) the Maturity Date to the extent the Shares used to pay the Maturity
Consideration are freely tradable by Seller, or (ii) if not freely tradeable by
Seller, one (1) trading day prior to the date on which the resale registration
statement registering the Shares used to pay the Maturity Consideration becomes
effective under the Securities Act. If Counterparty pays the Maturity
Consideration in Shares, then Counterparty shall pay the Maturity Consideration
on a net basis such that Seller retains a Number of Shares due to Counterparty
upon the Maturity Date equal to the number of Maturity Consideration Shares
payable to Seller, only to the extent the Number of Shares due to Counterparty
upon the Maturity Date are equal to or more than the number of Maturity
Consideration Shares payable to Seller, with any Maturity Consideration
remaining due to be paid to Seller in newly issued Shares (such newly issued
Shares, the "Excess Shares"). If Excess Shares issued as Maturity Consideration
shall equate to 20% or more of the Counterparty's outstanding Shares, then the
Counterparty shall use reasonable efforts to obtain shareholder approval for the
issuance of such Excess Shares to the extent required by the Exchange on which
the Shares are then listed on or prior to the Maturity Date (the "Shareholder
Approval"). If at the Maturity Date, (i) the number of Excess Shares equates to
20% or more of the Counterparty's outstanding Shares, (ii) Shareholder Approval
is required by the Exchange on which the Shares are then listed and (iii) the
Counterparty fails to obtain the Shareholder Approval on or prior to the
Maturity Date, then the Counterparty will pay such portion of the Merger
Consideration that would have otherwise corresponded to the Excess Shares to
Seller in cash. In addition to the Maturity Consideration, at Maturity Date,
Seller will be entitled to retain a cash amount equal to the product of (y) the
Number of Shares remaining in the Transaction multiplied by (z) the Redemption
Price, and Seller will deliver to Buyer the Number of Shares that remain in the
Transaction.
A break-up fee equal to (i) all of Seller's actual out-of-pocket reasonable
fees, costs and expenses relating to the Transaction (without a cap) plus (ii)
$1,000,000 (collectively, the "Break-up Fee") shall be payable, jointly and
severally, by the Counterparty and EUDA to the Seller in the event (a) the
Prepaid Purchase Agreement or the Transaction is terminated by either the
Counterparty or EUDA, or (b) upon any Additional Termination Event (as defined
in the Prepaid Forward Agreement), except where the Additional Termination Event
occurred solely as a result of a failure of Seller to purchase the Maximum
Number of Shares or a material breach of Seller's obligations.
The Seller does not possess any redemption rights in respect of the Recycled
Shares. In addition, the Seller may freely transfer or assign its rights under
the Prepaid Forward Agreement.
The primary purpose of entering into the Prepaid Forward Agreement is to help
ensure that certain Nasdaq initial listing requirements will be met, and
therefore increases the likelihood that the Business Combination will close.
